So, it was our annual Thanksgiving jug line adventure again this year, and we got a big one. I described it to friends by cell phone this way - " We just caught a catfish the size of a toddler!" Needless to say, I couldn't even lift it, just barely lifted its head off the tailgate of the pickup when we got back to the house. But one of the fisherman is shown in the other photo below, and it's pretty obvious that this female cat is full of eggs. Now, this photo was taken on Thanksgiving, Thursday November 28th. Doesn't it seem strange to find a female cat full of eggs this time of year on Lake Texoma? I really need help here because after much searching online I couldn't find any information about a late fall catfish spawn anywhere in the US. Did I miss some important information? Thanks for posting below because we may not be the only ones with this experience and this question after jug line fishing on Lake Texoma this fall.
