51 POUND CATFISH

Just last year in September. While fishing top water for bass. Using a
blue back chugbug. in approx 3 foot of water. The lure went down, like
it hung on a tree branch or something. I said to myself, time to get out
of the boat. i'm not loosing that lure. About that time a hard jerk.
"What" a fish, no way. Started coming up. i though it was the light
bress pushing me out to deeper waters. after bout 5 minutes it hit the
top big catfish. What a fight. Caught on 14 lb triline line fennwiek
rob, old Johnson century reel.
