Spruce Run 7/17 - Catfish

[cmoran719]

Went out at Spruce tonight on kayaks with Zach M. from 7:30 to 11. Got 4 channel catfish between the two of us all within 1 hour's time. Bite didn't start up until the sun went down and after 10 it died down again. The biggest one of the night, (22" and 4.75lbs, tho it seemed way bigger) gave me the best fight I've ever had other than my 30lb carp. I had a 4lb mono leader on from trout fishing the other night so I was extra careful playing him in (not to mention the main line has been on the spool since September and the leader since April lol) Kept the drag real loose and he was peeling it out constantly for more than 5 minutes, he even dragged the kayak around a bit. Strong fight for only a 5lb fish. Such a great time. (This was also my first time fishing from a kayak which made it even better )

Catfish taco's for lunch tomorrow! OH YEA!
