this happened tonight... Good friend of mine fishing off the back while docked to a friend's house boat. The swim platform is excellent for fishing while docked! :)

Excellent. The swim platform is perfect for fishing.
 
Funny....I was opening this thinking it was going to say something different....

When our old boat was sitting in a wet slip catfish would swim up into the intakes and hang out. Discovered this twice by starting the engines and producing fish chum. Once, the fish was so big it clogged the intake with minced cat fish. So we got to the point where we would have the kids do "the catfish dance" on the swim platform to scare the fish out of the intakes (plus I'd pulse the keys on to scare them too)....once we were doing that...no more minced fish!
 
That's a big channel cat! 20ish lbs?
 
awesome fish, that's exactly where I fish, if you get the lower deck a little smelly, its easy to wash
 
Very nice! We just had our annual trip to Lockport Manitoba. Amazing catfishing this time of year. Biggest Channel cat was 28lb 11oz!!

Keep it up!
