Chickamauga Tailwaters "Giant Blue Catfish" 4-26-2014

I mentioned in my last fishing report about trying something different. I did. Went on a fishing trip with rsimms of Scenic City Charters. You all know that he is the Godfather of Catfish. He showed out yesterday...so did I. I needed a TARP of a different species to make my goal of 10 TARP's of different species. That makes me a TWRA Master Angler III. Got it!

Caught a 75 lb., 52" Blue Catfish. I only needed one to be 34". Beat that by 18". It was as big as a Volkswagen!!

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime Richard. http://www.chattanoogafishingforum.c.../smile_tup.gif

great job kingfish, its nice to fish for something different every now and then, and congrats

Very nice! Congrats on the MA Level III! I'm going for the same thing myself. Does anyone know what is included in the "Tackle Package" from BPS? I've seen it mentioned a number of times and have never heard what exactly it really is. Maybe it changes periodically, so they don't publish a list? I've never even seen a post or article from anyone who has achieved it.

I knew you would get it, you sounded very determined to get it and you did. Congrats.

Wow That is a very nice cat. Way to go. Congratulations on the Master
Angler.:HandsClapping:notworthy:superman

Nice Blue. I am going to have to give those a try one day... Here is a pic of a cat I caught in Thailand...Attachment 161167

That is great.

If you want a sure thing on the cats call Richard Simms. He's the best.
