No pic no fish BUT what a story
We went to the Osage today. We caught a few small catfish. Had another light bite. Picked up rod and slow pulled because we use circle hooks. Fish pulled back. I told hubby this isn’t small. Started taking line. Hubby reeled in lines and pulled anchors so we could follow. Took us into middle of river. It would take line then I would get some back. Then it would stop and I couldn’t budge it at all. We played that game for maybe 30 minutes. My arms were getting tired. I thought my Ugly Stik rod was going to break. Using the motor we made sure it didn’t get under boat. We just back and forth. It would take line and then I would get some back. At 1 point we saw bubbles and boil several feet from where my line was going. But finally my 40 lb mono broke. It broke between hook and 3 way swivel. I have caught 44 and 36 lb sturgeon and this was MUCH bigger. Just wish I could have at least seen it but it wouldn’t come any where near the surface. Our guess is a large catfish or lake sturgeon.
