    You are going to have a repeat problem with that Bob Cat. Like Coyotes once they find a food source, he'll be back. Usually during the night. Set up a trap and live capture with bait. When he snags a chicken he will move aways into the woods and sit and chew the legs off your chickens then haul the rest off to his den. More then likely there is a female and if not gravid she has kits. Once you catch him the female will start coming in a few days later.

    Lots of blues in Oklahoma. Jugs or pole. Most jug fishing they use pound weight and bottom 2 foot up circle hook , two more feet up another hook. Your allowed 5 per line , but then you get a tangled mess. Leave them out all night. Usually have fish on every jug and usually at least one 20 or bigger on . Best I have done is 61 lb. We return all fish over 10 lb back for mating seed.

    This time of year in North Texas Shad are up in the creeks. Stop by any creek that feeds a lake look down. If the water is clear, you should be able to see them. They will be schooled together tight, and the school may stretch for miles. When you find them, you can fill a cooler with one or two throws of the net.

    Man get a cast iron skillet and add a little butter. Put some blackening seasoning on the filets and pan fry them. Put those filets over a bed of dirty rice and enjoy. Since your near Fork you can also look up splat fishing for catfish. It is very effective this time of year.

    Justin I definitely have to agree with you on that being one of the most memorable trips out doing some cat fishing that you have put on the channel!!! I wish you would have done a catch, clean, and cook along with you out catching these fish in this video!!! I definitely love seeing all the different ways you come up with cooking them!!! My new favorite way is just frying them in a pan with some butter and some mr blackened red fish seasoning I believe it is called!!! That is definitely some delicious little tasty bits for sure!!! If you haven’t tried some that way you should definitely try it along with a little slap your Mama seasoning for a little bit of a bite to it also!!! Awesome video buddy!!! Oh and you was definitely doing it right with the cast net for some shad!!! That is the way I catch them all the time I go out cat fishing!! One thing is I would try to hang onto the very last little bit of the cast net and then let it go at last as soon as the rest of the net is out!!! That always has helped me to get the net to open up fully before hitting the water!!!

Also i tried to pick up a wild kitten one time.. had my whole hand bloody in a second.. (was the size of my hand), idk about grabbing a bobcat I would advice against it!
