First fish caught in Southern Ontario

So thanks to some people and posts here, and others I've met in my travels to find shore fishing spots in Kingston area, I finally caught a fish. I wish it had been a walleye, but hey ... at least I broke my losing streak!

10 lb. (give or take) catfish off the Collin's Bay dock! Almost busted my net getting the thing on the dock.

Walleye or not that had to be a thrill, congrats

Well done. I'm sure you were excited when you hooked up with it. That is a great feeling.

That's a beauty cat and I bet it fought really well too...Channel cats are also great eating if you're up for cleaning them!

Hi girlfreddy, nice to meet you tonight at the dock. Congrats on the catch.

Thanks. And he did put up a good fight. Good thing there were others around to help get it onto the dock. By myself I'm sure I would have lost it (and maybe took a swim in the mix). But since I know nothing about cooking or cleaning catfish and no one else there wanted him, he went back into the water. Besides, what the heck would I do with 6 lbs. of catfish in my fridge? Guess maybe I could've given him to BigMac.

Good meeting you out there too.

great lookin fish! I caught an 8 lb eye the other night trolling around collins creek, there is a nice little selection of big fish around collins bay come springtime!

Great fish!

I live near Collins Bay and fish there fairly often. Nice to see some good fish so close to shore.

Cheers

Glad to hear you elected to LIVE RELEASE!
Now maybe someone else will have as much fun as you did.

I love to cook and catfish was one of my adventures a while ago...

Nice fish way to go!! I use to fish them at night on the culvert end by bath road. Are you from Dryden? Did we meet at Loborough lake?
