Re: Post pictures of the fish you catch!!
big ol grass carp there.
caught a few this sunday on carlyle lake. went to an annual gathering of catfisherman we have there.
7lbs 7 oz
these were just 4.6 and 4.2.
had what was poised to be my personal best catfish on the line and lost it. was fishing an abu garcia 6500/cl3 with 50lb invicta mono and8/0 wide gap invicta circle hook fishing an 8" bluegill head cut behind the pectoral fins on a catfish ugly stick. after a 10 min fight and a guy and his wife on a wave runner watching the firece battle the hook came loose when he was about 5' from the boat. heartbreaking. guessing a bluecat. i dont have them in the lake i fish here in central il. this was a beast and would have been my PB. if it was a channel it was a monster. im guessing 20ish the way it was just doubling the rod and pulling against my reeling on 3/4 drag. THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY lol. oh well i know it was a nice
one either way.
took the boys out for a bit. the oldest got his best too. he dosnt like going much but was smiling ater reeling this one in.
