bonzai22 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I caught this catfish at a neighborhood pond fishing for bass with a plastic worm and i had heard there were catfish over 30 lbs in there and i would say this one was d**n close it had a length of 38 inches and a girth of 26. I caught it on 12 lb test line and i didnt have a net because i was bass fishing and wasnt expecting it haha but some guy fishing by me grabbed it and pulled it up after about 25 minutes of fighting the fish Quote
Uncle Leo Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Wow that is huge, it looks like the pond is a fairly new body of water judging by the sge of the homes. I wonder if this catfish was planted there. Judging by the size that fish is probably old. Quote

Delaware Valley Tackle Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 Nice fish! I live near the Delaware River and have been flirting with the idea of catfishing. You might have just put me over the edge Quote
done Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 man you cannot beat cats in the dog days of summer. When the Bass bite gets as bit more difficult, the cat bite is on. They fight like crazy, are easy to find, and grow to ridiculous sizes. How can you beat that? Quote
bass or bass ? Posted September 12, 2009 Posted September 12, 2009 I can relate. A year ago I caught a 25# flathead cat while bass fishing using a medium action Quantum baitcast rod and reel. Took about 15 minutes to boat it. What fun huh? Quote
bonzai22 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Posted September 12, 2009 yeah it was a lot of fun to catch it was like pulling in a dumbbell haha and my dad works construction he said the pond has been there for 15-20 years but its loaded with monsters catfish i talked to a guy in april and he said he had caught four 22 lb catfish already this year Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Thats a HAWG.... I am guessing around 25 lbs min - 30 Lbs max.... I want to catch one that big. Quote
steezy Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Makes me want to delete my catfish pics, they are babies compared to that monster. Nice catch! Quote
NasTMcfingas Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Nice Catch!!!! It's been awhile since I've hooked into one. Quote
