ch312 Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) this report is a bit late, but i'm sure nobody will mind while trolling for pike a month ago at a very unique long point location i was marking the odd single big fish and after a few passes i hooked into this bad boy. i figured it was a big pike that was staying on bottom and pulling like a tank, so i can only imagine the look on my face when this thing appeared. i've never caught any catfish while trolling before. caught him on the bigger sized williams wabbler (3.5-4"?) 135ft back off a planer board going 3.5 mph. any guesses on it's weight? for reference, that's my hand and i'm 6'1...

Ralph Field Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 It would surprise me as well, and my guess would be 12 to 15 lbs, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 10-12 lbs on the size. I am not surprised I have caught quite a few while throwing crank baits for bass. The Channel Cat above 5 lbs is know as a top end predator that prefers fresh caught prey over dead baits. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
