Howdy Sniper,
Well, my daughter's former family ate catfish from the Angelina River and Sam Rayburn every weekend for years, and they have all had severe health problems. I am convinced that the to ... |

I went catfishing with my daughter and a cousin of hers down on Rayburn. My host has a "honey hole" and we caught 22 nice cats plus a couple of spotted bass.
