TightLine Catfishing

LitWil - Dazy - Rick

(and what the heck is WMHD)

It doesn’t take much to make this Kpa happy... my grandson(s), Dazy, and Co-Cap’n Rick.

You know you’re getting predictable when you don’t say a word, and your 11-year-old grandson knows exactly where to steer the USS Sassy… straight to THE catfishing hole!

And Kpa didn’t even have to say a word!

This first BlueCat is 7 lbs and was caught on *WMHD

10ft deep and water temp = 71

BIG SMILES - This Blue is 11 lbs also caught on *WMHD

SO MUCH FUN CATFISHING... and getting ready for the next TightLine fry!

Something special about this...

Sunset. Good Catfishing. WMHD.

And for those wondering… *WMHD = WalMart Hot Dogs.

Yep. WalMart Hot Dogs.

Five-star meal? Nope. Five-star TIGHTLINE memories? Absolutely.

WHAT IS TIGHTLINE CATFISHING...

FREE CATFISH FRY FOR YOUR CHURCH OR NONPROFIT
Faith • Food • Fellowship

At TightLine Catfishing, we believe a good meal has a way of bringing people together.

What started with a love of catfishing has grown into a way for us to serve churches, nonprofits, schools, ministries, and community organizations throughout Central Texas.

TightLine Catfishing is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we provide catfish meals at no cost to your organization.

Seriously, no catch — except the catfish!

We provide the fish, cook it up, and help make the meal something people will remember. If you'd like to turn your fish fry into a fundraiser, you can sell plates and keep the proceeds for your organization.

WE PROVIDE THE FISH. YOU KEEP THE MONEY. EVERYBODY WINS!

A meal at no cost to your organization
AND... plenty of catfish stories

And... A few helping hands

WHO WE SERVE:
Churches
Schools
Nonprofit organizations
Ministries
Community groups
Organizations serving families, seniors, veterans, or others in need

And behind the scenes, we're working harder than my brother Rick trying to keep up with the family fish-fry traditions Dad handed down.

Mom made sure the recipes were right. Dad made sure the stories got bigger every year. Somehow, Rick inherited both jobs.

We don't charge for our services. TightLine runs on donations, generous hearts, and a lot of volunteer elbow grease.

We love what we do, and it shows. If folks leave full, smiling, and asking when we're coming back, we call that a success.
