Last week I caught three channel cats.
Well actually laid hands on two, the second one was lost with a piss pour one handed attempt at using a net.
Anyway, the last one weighed 5 pounds.
I was using my 9' slab shaker crappie rod, 6 pound test line and a 1" berkley gulp minnow.
Caught it off of a fish attractor and never dreamed I would get it in. I could feel the brush rubbing against my line.
Finally was able to use the trolling motor to get it away from the brush and out into open water.
Think I brought him up 5 times only to have him go right back to the bottom before landing him. I was in 10' of water at the time.
It was a good time for sure. Nasty slimey thing.
It will taste good thought.
