A Great End to the Weekend

Most of this weekend, I have spent wincing in pain from my stomach. No other symptoms other than (sometimes severe) pain in my stomach. This afternoon the pain finally subsided, so I decided to fish for a bit at the local Trophy Club pond. This pond typically produces small bass and some nice sized bluegill....so I was very surprised when I hooked into this monster.This guy put up a arm cramping fight for about 10 minutes. I caught him on the lightest flyrod that I own (a fiberglass 3wt). You typically use this rod to catch 1/4lb bluegill - not monster channel catfish! So needless to say, I am a little proud of this catch. A good way to end what had been a not so great weekend. The big guy was released to fight another day.

Dad - sorry to break it to you, but this fish came out of the same pond where we were fishing.

    That looks like one of those elusive, legendary cat fish that everyone knows about and sees occasionally, but no one is ever able to catch. Good going--what fun!

    Most of my fishing brethren say that it is probably a 10+lb fish. WooHoo!
