I love catching catfish when they are biting on ‘tight line’ on bottom, when they are in the flooded grass and willows during the spawn, over holes baited with soured grain and when they are ‘on the rocks’ feasting on gar eggs. I love the tug of a catfish on a trotline! But my biggest thrill is watching a floater (cork) begin to jiggle on the surface and then disappear, pulled down by a chunky channel catfish that has moved into the shallows to put on the feed bag!
At its basal level, a shotgun or rifle is a tool designed to do one thing: push a bullet or charge of shot down its barrel. That’s it! Those of us that love shooting and hunting with firearms have all sorts of specialized uses for our ‘tools’ and we have learned to adapt them to meet our special needs. But unlike many tools, firearms have the ability to protect us from harm, or to aid in putting a venison steak on our plate, or possibly provide us with a big skillet of fried quail and gravy. We cherish our firearms and become attached to them in ways that we would never feel about a chainsaw or hammer which are also ‘tools’. A firearm we have used for many years takes on a life of its own, and we look at it almost as we would a prized hunting dog. When we pick it up for a cleaning and put a light coat of oil on the barrel or stock, our mind is flooded with past memories: that brace of bull sprigs we took with our old English made over and under, or possibly that 300-yard shot with our trusty .270 on whitetail that enabled us to put that big whitetail mount on the wall.

I began writing about retired Lake Lavon crappie guide Billy Kilpatrick a quarter century ago when he first began his almost quarter century guiding career on Lake Lavon. I first fished with guide Brandon Sargent this past fall at Lake Ray Hubbard. This week, I was honored to join both guides on Lake Lavon for some springtime shallow water crappie fishing.
