A Few Nice Ones

Catfish My brother Caught

They are all wusses and I had to climb in the lake and pick it up since there was no other way to get it out.

My Brothers PB on Top Water

He caught it on a Heddon Torpedo.

That's a massive channel cat Haven't seen one that big in awhile! Did he drag that through the weeds? Nice fish!

Yea that's the biggest one I have ever personally seen. Usually there like in the 10# range and those are some big catfish but this thing dwarfs those. The edge of the pond is full of those weeds till about 6' out and that is what got stuck to his face just from fighting it in. He said he saw a HUGE catfish in this hole like 1' from shore and messing around just dropped a plain 4/0 EWG with nothing on it in there and the catfish jumped out and grabbed it.

lol that catfish just took a plain bare empty hook? That's crzy! What a huge fish man that's amazing thanks for sharing. Great looking bass too! Looks like you guys got a nice little honey hole going there. Did you weigh or measure the cat?

[hatrix]

I didn't get a weight or measurement of the cat. It was like a spur of the moment thing and I only had 1 rod and a empty bag of plastics I filled with a few things to use. We all kinda agreed it was like 3' long and 20# or so and was a more then fair estimate. I am not sure on the weight though I have seen people on TV noodle catfish and catch ones they say is 40# and that cat was just as big as the ones on TV or maybe bigger. But the ones I have seen on TV is like a yellow colored cat fish so they might be a much heavier type of fish.

[hatrix]

Yes it was just a plain hook.
