Really, Really April fool's day/ Catfish Trench

hello all. i'm sorry of lack of posts lately.. i had to travel to the Degaba system to study with my mentors, doug stange and otis the toad. i have returned strong and steadfast.
Well, i hooked up my first catfish of the year already. seemed soon for wisconsin, my earliest catch before that was in April , the 12th to be exact, of 5 years ago. i honestly got the spot from a game warden. (for shame) I have fish'd the spot from a bo-at though. i got my first fish on land in less than 5 minutes. damn was i excited. i was so happy.
Another tale from the catfish trench!!!!!!!!! all of us shore fisherman can understand and relate to this... Scenario: i'm sittin-n- sippin' a cold milwaukee's best Ice, 3 lines in the water, fishin a turn in the wisco next to the happy heron boat landing,(newly renovated, should check it out). A guy with a new BO-AT is all titty-giddy to get his bo-at in the water for its maiden trip. i chit-chat a little with him, to be friendly to the lowly walleye fisherman. he gets in the bo-at and starts to drift downstream, passing over one of my lines. Now this has happened on many occassions as i can cast from here to the moon, but this time was my first.....right when he passes over my line, he Hammers down, my rod bends over, and my drag starts screaming like i hooked an enormous carp. i was in shock, and kicked my self for not mentioning earlier "Hey buddy!!watch out for my lines!!!"" i ran over and cut the line as i expected my rod to lauch in the drink....i lost over 50% of my line, learned a lesson, and then packed my shit and skee-daddled. i figured that much line may cause a mess in the prop, especially when a 2 ounce sinker slams into a boat hull at mach 10.
also catfish brethren, the new 2007 Catfish-insider is out!!! with new and exciting products. i am glad to add this to my collection. take it easy, and don't let yer woman find the bait hidden in the fridge:)
