Got him last night about 7:00 on a line, treble hook, and chicken quarter.
Finished skinning & dressing him about midnight using my Fishin' Frank and Model 19-4.
My wife had the daughters on the video call when I was skinning him and they asked how in the heck I caught him.
I told them that I took a long snort of Old Panther Piss, dove in, rastled him to the bottom of the pond, and kilt him with my knife!
The girls all knew better but the son in laws had to mull over it.
