Was trying to catch a panfish to use for catfish bait and this beast decided it was hungrier than the panfish were.
Hit a 1 inch gulp minnow on a #8 Aberdeen gold hook. Or it was taking a big gulp of minnows and just had the bait in the right place. Still can't believe I landed it using my little homemade 4' light rod. At least I got to scratch one more fish off the catch list. Name: 20251119_171638.jpg Views: 208 Size: 150.7 KB
