Default Delaware river catfish 8/5/2015

Caught a few green sunfish and Rock bass under my dock and decided to try a new spot for flatheads, that I've always caught a ton of channel cats at. Havnt fished it in a few years since I sold my skiff with the jet, no boat access other then running the rapids so I threw the kayak in back of the truck and gained permission to launch from a guys property. Set up around 8 with two rods one with cut bait and other with live bait, and all was quiet till aaround 830. 3 channel cats 23"-28" were caught and landed in short order on cut bait. Around 9pm I hooked a large fish on a live sunfish but unfortunately he got me wrapped up in one of the many large boulders in this hole and cut my 65lb off. Fish definitely had some shoulder on him. Before I could get my line in my cut bait went off and was a small 5lb flathead. 9-10pm ended up with 3 flatheads with the largest about 10lb and 4 more quality channel cats. Action was hot till I ran out of bait a few mins after 10. Great nice little outing on a work night
