Morris Taymon And Michael Dominguez With 73 Pound Blue Catfish
It was quite an event with the cold front blowing through Friday and dropping the temperatures to the low 20s. Although the number of fish weren’t counted we, as a group, caught over 400 keeper catfish with the biggest weighing in at 73 pounds on a certified scale. It was caught by anglers Morris Taymon of Katy and Michael Dominguez Of Temple. The second biggest blue catfish was no slough either as it weighed 63 pounds and was caught by Alvin Brown of Conroe. There were also several fish caught in the 30 and 40 pound range. In keeping with conservation and maintaining the great catfish population all large catfish were photographed and released.
Conroe is one of the best if not the best catfishing lake in this great state of Texas. Angles come from afar to catch the catfish in our local lake. And not only is Lake Conroe known for its great catfishing but it is quickly becoming a premier bass fishing lake with four Share Lunkers entered into the Texas Parks and Wildlife Sharelunker program last year, which included the years largest entry at 15.93 pounds by Conroe Angler of the Year Ricky Bearden. Ricky’s sharelunke bass was a new Lake Conroe record. Donald Piper
