Yesterday, my daughters and I visited Lake Travis with my dad and my brother. We visited a restaurant that you can drive to on your boat called the "Gnarly Gar". Swimming around the docks of the floating restaurant are HUGE catfish and carp. They like to hang around because people feed them food. Check out the video below to see what I mean.
The video shows a large crowd of catfish, although there are many carp around too. Some of the biggest catfish there could easily have mouths that span 12 inches wide. It was fun, and my three year old preferred trying to feed her dinner to the fish rather than eating it herself!
And that's all I got for a *mostly* Wordless Wednesday. Have a great day!
So many, it is almost creepy. I guess it is not a good place for swimming?
ReplyDeleteHaha - I wouldn't swim with them myself! Have never seen anyone swimming there either.
DeleteWow!! That is so cool!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
I always love the carp ponds that are at restaurants in Hawaii, Florida and obviously Texas too!!! The catfish DO get enormous! Love when I heard someone say "you almost stepped in the duck poop" lol! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHaha - that was Lily... there are ducks too and one of them did his business near us...
DeleteWe have a restaurant in the Keys called the Hungry Tarpon. It is at Robbie's Marina and Robbie protects a large school of Tarpon at his docks. You can buy little fishes and fee the Tarpon...even the dog can go out on the pier to do that. It is so much fun! I love the "Eew, you almost stepped in duck poop" in the video. BOL
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen some pictures of Garth doing that maybe. It looks like fun! And that would be my daughter, Lily... she was quite concerned over the duck poop!
DeleteHoly moley! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would like to watch them for a while!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you say that lake was... :D Pawkisses :) <3
ReplyDeleteI love catfish and it still astounds me how big they are, because whenever I eat catfish, it's a little piece of fish :)
ReplyDeleteYikes! I wouldn't go in that water! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteThe lake is really big, but I wouldn't swim in this particular spot BOL.
DeleteThat's a lot of catfish in one small area.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great video! The Red River has flooded here and people are able to catch enormous catfish is what used to be parking lots! It is CRAZY!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound crazy :)
DeleteImpressive ! Pawsome video ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteThat seems like an awesome place to eat, how was the food? I bet it was incredible - can't get any fresher seafood than being near the water!
ReplyDeleteTheir burgers are the most popular I think. I'm sure they don't serve fresh-caught fish... I ordered a chicken fried steak and I'll admit it was probably the smallest CFS I've ever had from any restaurant. But, it was pretty tasty.
DeleteFishies!! Wow, and a lot, too!
ReplyDeleteHa, that's new since our mom was down there! Cool way to get to it, though. There's a town in Kansas where you fly your airplane in and taxi up to the restaurant...down Main street, even!
ReplyDeleteIt used to be called "Shades". But Shades isn't there anymore and now it's the Gnarly Gar.
DeleteGosh, that's a lot of fish! Not sure would want to put my paw in that water.
ReplyDeleteI might not either!
DeleteYikes! Those are some hungry fish! Cool video, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
WOW. Look at all of them! That was a really neat video, Ann. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is mildly terrifying. Ha! Very cool to see from your "safe" vantage point!
ReplyDeleteIt looks as though you could almost walk on them, there are so many!

MOL - I KNEW you guys would like this post ;) And yea the salmon patty mixed with the cat food incident was silly. Cat Daddy was not happy that his precious patty had cat food on it. Maybe he should open his eyes next time? ;) How are you subscribed? With the MailChimp RSS? So weird... I've been getting all the emails this week.
