Hey mountain man and other fishermen.

[jipped genes]

So I was out in my kayak with an ultra light rod and reel with light line catching little bass and having a ball when............

all hell broke loose, my reel was peeling off line and my rod was straining at the breaking point. anyway it was a flathead cat a little under 30". not huge by flathead standards but big with ultralight tackle in heavy cover.

now folks I would have loved that to be a 12# bass but I am damn happy catching this ugly beast

I caught one in the Tennessee river years ago. I've only caught 2 catfish this year, accidentally while trout fishing. I've havent had much luck with big fish so far. I got started late this year, but I caught a nice mess of trout this weekend.
