Big D, Big Cats, Overnighter, 8/2

[FASTEDDIE29]

Hit the big river last night prepared to do battle with some river monsters. I was in it for the long haul. I brought my tent, firewood, sleeping bag, food and enough beer for 3 people. I was the only soldier out on the ROCK last night and I couldn't of been happier. Made bait and started fishing around 530-6 pm. Cats were on the prowl last night, 1st fish was a channel @ 2.5 lbs that inhaled a 5 inch Gill. That was around 630, after that it was pure mayhem, rods were flying in the river and I jumped in after them. Next 3 cats were all Channels in the 4-5 lb range, good eating size. 9 pm, something picks up my hacked up live Eel, set the hook, FISH-ON, YEA BUDDY!!!! Feels like a good fish and its peeling drag like a freight train. Got the beast in, YES, Channel weighing in @ 11 lbs 6 oz. Oh yea, now I'm fired up. Got 1 more 5 lber after the beast around 930. Than it slows down, still getting hits and run-offs but the fish weren't inhaling the bait like they were earlier. 1030, lines slowly peeling off the reel so I open the bail to make sure this fish can have his way with the bait. The fish stops so I reel in the slack and go to set the hook......................... FISH-ON!!!! Feels like another beast, drags screaming off the reel again. Finally after pulling her out of the rocks and almost going for a swim, the beast is landed. Flathead, my biggest one so far, weighed 9 lbs 11 oz. What a fight!!! This fish did not want to come in. Unbelievable fishing last night with 9 Cats landed, 8 Channels and 1 Flathead. Action died off around 11 but I stuck it out til 2 just to see if anything else wanted to come out to play. Went to camp, set a fire, had a few more beers and just sat in my camp chair smiling. I had this spot to myself all night, does life get any better? WOW! GOOD TIMES!!! TIGHT LINEZ!!!

P.S. The 2 big Cats are both Flatheads. I goofed in the initial report. First Flathead, 11 lbs 6 oz, 2nd Flathead 9 lbs 11 oz.

Phil, I wanted to call you to see if you'd come down for a visit. Something inside me said, just sit there and fish and enjoy the peace and quiet. That I did, it was a great night out there my friend. I was gona call you at 6 am to see if I could stop by for breakfast. I don't think that would've been a good idea!!!
