tell a story of your personal best cat, post a pic if you can...
heres mine: it was last summer at my nieghbors tank and I was using an ultra-lite spinning rig (4 lb test) for perch. using a 1/32 oz. white with gold eyes deer hair jig. (made it myslef). I fished all day catching atleast 100+ hand sized perch and some even bigger. I said to myself before I left "one more cast for luck." The cast was pefect, right beneath an overhaging cini-bean(sp?) limb in 3' of water. in the middle of my retreve it felt like I was hung up, but "IT" started moving. I new right then and there it was a big ol' cat. after 55 minutes into the fight I saw it. boy it was one huge cat. especially for 4 lb test line. finnally after what felt like an eternity I had with in hands reach. I latched onto its bottom lip and hauled her up the bank. that bluecat wieghed in at 25lbs measuring 36" long. sounds kinda puny but I don't target catfish as much as I used to. although I have cought bigger cats this was my favorite.
