I would take a trip like that any day of the week. Never caught a blue cat but man are they some amazing pics. Never realized they had blue cats in the Potomac. Some experience and being able to share it with your dad just puts it over the top! Must be some real monster blues in there even bigger than the two brutes you guys caught. Great job!

If you don't mind sharing, what kind of rig did you use? Was it as hi / low, or single hook with a slip sinker? Again great catch. Not every day you pull an ~40lb fish from fresh water. Or even salt water for that matter........amazing!
