I am on a shame. What about you?

All right. Where I were down on the river bank. Some years we were in the river.

Most years we're nearly in the river. This year the water's down a little bit.

But it is May and all of my listeners, I know, our listeners, y'all all understand that the ops run in May.

You give America a statement like that. The ops run in May. They're thinking, okay, that much. What's what you're talking about?

We're talking Opalusus catfish. Think about a horse with that color code.

Which is the apple loser. And by the way, somebody attempted to correct me, but now I have to correct the corrector because either one applies to this fish.

Opalusus or Apalusus. They're called both. They're not just column ops or ops or or yellow fit the yellow tabby cats.

Tabby cats. Well, they call them flathead. Flathead. People noodle these where when they spawn.

I guess they spawn April May. Every day. They think these hoot nets are a log or stomp in a female will get in there.

And then all the males say, hey, it's just so our listeners will know one time I reached down it was May.

The ops were running. And Opalusus say that's a that's a particular brand of catfish. He's a live bait feeder.

He is better eating than the blues. A lot of blue cat different kinds about three different kinds of blue cat.

But ops is their favorite. So because they don't eat anything dead. That's right. I ran on that yesterday.

I put it out just just for I used to have 100 hook nets out when I was fishing for a living. Now I have one one set.

I went out there three or four days ago. I had one buffalo, no catfish.

I said, we'll give it a little time. There come. Well, two days goes by. Three. So I ran on yesterday.

And I eased them up on a look. And there's two ops in there. Just the right size to eat about three, four pounders.

How did that make you feel in that moment? You know, when you saw 50 years of doing this.

My heart leaped with joy. And I had Dan when they said, Dan, I said, we got to opt in here. I said, wait a minute. There's two of them.

We had an old guard stuck in the front of it. We got him out of that. We had a buffalo threw him back in the water.

One little blue cat threw him back. I saved the ops. And you bleed him like a hog when you get him back in there.
