Awesome! I bet this cats were fun to bring in!
Funniest thing about ice fishing for me is when people who know nothing about ice activities try to warn me about the dangers of the ice...

Im from Oklahoma so ive had my share of eating catfish so when we moved to Michigan i was like yeah theres cats here and kept a few to eat.not sure but they tasted like crap from Michigan waters.cold water catfish might be better.the catfish in oklahoma almost taste like white meat chicken,here it tasted like mud and really fishy.never ate one since.anyways nice mixed bag!!

I found the cats done taste good until they are about 20 inches..... Once they start eating live prey more i assume

I would not eat them. unless you are starving.
I'd rather be fishing than sleeping
