yesterday evening i took the boat out to hicks lake for some spiny ray fishing. after being over by the lily pads for about a half hour catching a few bluegill, i thought i saw a good sized fish chasing perch or something small around in the center of the lake. the water was just boiling with activity out there! so i motored over, tried tossing pretty much every lure at the fish rising, with no hits. confused, i got closer and noticed something.

they were catfish, hundreds of them. i've never even seen a catfish in hicks lake, although people apparently catch them. but the strangest part was that they were surfacing everywhere, and i was in 15-20 feet of water. they would come up, leap out of the water, then go back down and do it again

anybody else seen this kind of activity?
