1978, Definitely Blues

There are some Channels in there too, but most of the bigger ones are Blues. I've even counted anal fin rays, on 2 of them that I wasn't sure about and the bluer and bigger of the 2 was actually a Channel with it's tail mangled to almost square, and the classic smaller head. The smaller and tanner of the 2 was a Blue with a normal tail and the usual muscle-bound head. Right now I can't remember the numbers of anal fin rays that differentiates between them. I remember one of them had 38 and the other 41, I think, but I can't remember which goes to which. The channles that I get are mostly between 4 and 8#'s and the Blues typically run 6 to 13#. My biggest channel here was 10#s and my biggest blue was 21#s. I'll see if I can dig up the foto of that one for you. I have seen bigger ones in there, including one that chased a 9" Carp up onto the bank, recently. That was something to watch! The Carp was flopping around and the cat had most of it's head on the bank with its whishers dragging back and forth and it's mouth opening and closing. The Carp finally made it back to the water and the cat whirled on it, but I think, too late.
