Those are some very nice specimens guys. Solid performance!

Do you think 6-10 ft of 20-30 lb Ande or big game would help? Even with the angle it'd keep the braid away from the bottom and add much needed abrasion protection. Just spit balling here...

I ate a 30" fish from the raritan last year. I'll never eat another lol...

Awesome catches. Glad to see the curse has been lifted.

We caught bait and arrived at the spot at dark, only to find two guys set up right where we were going to fish.
Ha ha - I hate when that happens. It's worse when you're in a kayak and just paddled a long distance to get to a certain piece of structure - only to find someone already anchored over it.

Although I dont like catfish, I think you guy's just changed my mind with reading your story, and seeing those pictures... I just might have to give it a try one day. AWESOME fish fellas!!!
