BLUES OR CHANNEL CATFISH-TAKE YOUR PICK

Body
It’s summertime and fishing is easy. Maybe I should write the ‘catching’ is easy, for both blue and channel catfish. I just got off the water at Lake Tawakoni with guide Tony Pennebaker and Jeff Rice who produces and is the primary force that drives our weekly TV show “A Sportsman’s Life”. Our primary goal was to catch a box of ‘eater’ blue catfish and then switch to some fast-paced action on the smaller but scrappy channel cats. We accomplished both on one of those cloudy mornings last week.
