Catfish Last night

Catfish Last night

Caught 4-5 catfish last night in small urban pond. I used a light up night bobber. #4 hook, and frozen shrimp, (I also caught the final one on a piece of bread, even though I was trying to catch a sunfish). This was all around midnight. If I keep catching small catfish, I will probably wear a glove because they are hard to hold/ remove hook without getting poked.

I made the post a week ago about the skunk run in close call. And yes, to verify there were skunks out in this area. (a smaller one even got a little close to me when I was by the water, had to shoo it off). (I actually had my 22magnum revolver unholstered at this point.. cause I was not looking to get sprayed).

I don't think I will be going back to fish that area at night. The skunk activity, angry beaver activity, but mostly, the unstable homeless population nearby... You can hear some screaming and slamming stuff = temper/ anger problems... Just not humans I feel exactly safe around

What are the fish that are really vulnerable to dying after being released? I am okay with both releasing and cooking. But with the water temperature, and learning that some spices pretty much die (only caught 1 trout this summer). I'd rather just eat the fish so it's not wasted.

Also brining an additional question. Are there certain bodies of waters/ fish that you should not consume caught fish from? Are there any fish in Colorado that are absolutely disgusting to eat or unhealthy?

I assume the fish that can be just released and less worry of them dying are bluegill, catfish, bass?

Really glad I found this. I have been estranged for a year (I'm 35!!) I have made no friends (mostly by avoidance...) and want to start improving.. towards a life.. need advice!

So, my therapist really Hasn't been able to give me any MEANINFUL advice (seems to not understand no contact/ estrangement)...

I literally changed my number, lied about the state I moved to, delete FB... Basically cut everyone off... NOW, I essentially live the same way someone in witness protection does (or Walter White... Breaking Bad)..

So, how do I REALLY begin to spread my wings that these people clipped... They are there, I just need to get out of the trauma cycle... (and as we all know... there are plenty of lonely... dark days... where a regular person would not even understand the depression..) I mean.. no support, no one to hug... alone. It is a true suffering (even without the abusers around)..

Hopefully I will have less days like that one day. I have picked up fishing. Yeah, I'm totally isolated, and need to move forward. It's been a long road, but I'm not going to let those peoples abuse define me.
