Here is my personal best, a 42lb Cat.
I'd show you a picture of the big fish I caught yesterday except it was a bowfin, fought like crazy. wife nearly wiped out trying to net it. Gill hooked it, and got bit pretty good trying to retrieve the hook. Between the fish and I, we made the boat look like a chain saw murder scene. I'm just glad mywife and I survived the whole thing.
Got the boat cleaned up and the thumb is healing. Going to a different lake next time. That's 3 of those durn beasts in a week hunting for bass.
