Here is a list of some easy recipe links and videos on how to cook catfish. Catfish is a white meat I suggest frying it if you have a sweet skillet. Both channel and flathead meat is firm.

I love it when I am talking to people who moved to Arizona twenty years ago from Minnesota or Michigan or even Tennessee or Texas. In conversation, I always ask (especially if I like them) if they happen to fish. The normal response to this question is as follows’. “Heck yea I fish but you don’t have anything worth fishing for out here!” I nod my head and agree with them. I know what you are...

This trip at Lake Pleasant we got into a better school of 2 - 4 pound stripers and also got one nice crappie. These stripers are super fun to catch and will put and bend in your rod and make your drag sing on light line. [MEDIA]
