Looks like someone had a good day. Way to go. We used to go up around Surry and catfish but thats been several years ago.

looks like a fun day

Them are some gooduns.

Hey that looks like fun. I gotta tend to agree with your take on Chris Eberwien. I have never fished with him but was familiar with him by name only from reading all the fishing magazines when I had the pleasure of running into him at GreenTop a few months ago. The staff there obviously all knew him and the BS session was in road gear when I came onto them. We talked for a good long spell and you could just tell he would be a hoot to fish with.
Glad ya did well, and good pics.
