Now this was just a few days ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamie is Rick\u2019s brother from Florida, Eric is from Alabama and Jake is a nephew. These boys had been hearing so much about these big catfish in the river, so they came up for a visit and fishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The four boys started fishing about 5:00 p.m., each in a kayak. Rick said they were fishing for some bait first. They started fishing and they didn\u2019t get any bites for a while, then Rick caught a big carp, well over 20 lbs. And some small catfish 5 \u2013 6 lbs&nbsp; and a couple of sheepshead. They fished till about midnight and then gave it up. They had a camper in the church parking lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They went to Rick\u2019s fishing hole the second night. The boys wanted to fish from the banks and Rick stayed with his kayak. Things started slow, but Rick had a big hit early. He pulled Rick\u2019s kayak all over the area. This one weighed 25 lbs., a big Flathead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After things settled down, Rick caught a few small catfish and sheepshead. Then he got another hit and he wrestled that big fellow for a while and by golly, he weighed 25 lbs. That is both of those big fellows with Rick in the picture.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said all of&nbsp; this was with 8 lb. Test Strenline, you just have to make sure your drag is ok. He said all together, he caught about 100 lbs of fish, but those visitors never got a bite. They had high expectations but they had a good trip and visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rick said he sent them home with about 40 lbs. Of catfish and some pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See ya!&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Stan Jordan For weeks I have been asking Pastor Rick Grimes to get me a fishing story and he<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":29600,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-columns","category-sjordan"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Rick-Grimes-Stans-article.jpg?fit=666%2C961&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2YQd9-7Hp","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-26 19:47:01","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29599"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29599\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.westbendnews.net\/autonews\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
