Like I said, it's long been shut down, but you can still see both of the tracks on Google maps. I'll have to look you up if I make my way down there this summer.

One of the very few things I do miss from my truck driving years on the highway.
A good feed of catfish and hushpuppies, best I can remember was in a lil truck stop in Mississippi on the Alabama line off I-10 :drool:

The idea was to grope around the underwater river bank until you came to a hole. Then, you jammed your hay hook around inside the hole and yanked on the rope. When the old guy saw the rope yank, he would haul us in ... preferably with a catfish stuck to your hay hook. Ever since then, you couldn't pay me to eat a catfish. No way. In fact, those emotional scars are so deep, I even have a problem with rowboats. I'd just as soon douse a rowboat with gasoline and burn it to ash as look at one.

ROFL. That's kinda messed up but shouldn't keep you from eating that delicious pig of the sea.

Not in Kansas. Not enough viable fresh water and too cold (i think) for the farms.

I wonder though Newphin, if you've ever eaten at Ron's Catfish Buffet in Jonesboro. I'm not really a big cullinary devotee or anything, but that place is the best. People drive from hours away sometimes to get there. Their cajun breading is my favorite. Best I've ever eaten anywhere.

Hell yes I eat catfish...and bass and crappie and bluegill.

I'd wager that most of the catfish you eat at the catfish houses and other restaurants come from fish farms...they're not grubbing sludge off the bottom of a dirty river.

I fish more in ponds than anything and I've pulled 5lb cats from the pond and had them on the fire pit 5 minutes later.

Flatheads eat live bait, and while I don't hit the river as much as I like to, a good white fillet from a flathead is tough to beat.

I know some guys who will run lines in the river, and they'll put the fish in a cattle tank for a couple of days to "flush them" before eating them.

I wish this damn ice would melt....

Walleye is best, no doubt. Throw in a can of evaporated milk after frying in 2 tbsp of olive oil, throw in a bag of frozen veggie mix, like carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower, crack some pepper and dash some salt in it, let the veggies thaw and cook a bit, and you're done. Just like shore lunch near Minake, ONT.

Crappie is good, if you catch a mess of them enough to fry.

It's all a matter of how you prepare it and cook it. For grilling trout, an old gentleman recommended tabasco in the belly after cleaning, and just grilling it. That's about the best recipe I've found, so far. Catfish and bass are good, cooked in that fashion, too. The simplest things, one can write a book about, or just say it, and be done.
