Thread: more catfishin...

first off, sorry for the bad pics, they dont do these fish justice, but its hard to get good pics when you fish solo!
now, hit the missouri again today after work. man the weather is nice! the fish were biting, life is good! these were the thoughts going through my head as a pole gets bent doubled. good start, right at 30 lbs.


then around dusk this little 7lb channel slams a big ol skipjack gut pocket. notice the double hook rig? would have never stuck that fish without that stinger hook.

at this point it was dark and I am thinking I have to work tommorrow, 10 more minutes and I am out. but then another pole starts wiggling and I pick it up, thinking it was another small channel. wait for another series of small tapps.... set hook and ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ goes the drag! fight is on! few minutes later I boat this big blue!


good times tonight!!! caught all fish in 10ft flats between the wingdikes, all realeased healthy
