Spent the end of July like every year chasing big bass and monster cats. No big bass but was hoping to beat the 22lb cat I C and R a couple of years ago.
Well, smashed it!! Caught a couple of 10 to 15's early in the week and then a 24! I figured that was as good as it gets until this little kitty showed up.
After having my 10 foot jon towed around for 20 minutes I got her to the boat. By myself and wanting to ensure a good release my pictures sucked. Got a length measuring against my rod at give or take 38-39"-Girth was enormous( thicker than my wife's waist:)
I don't really care about a weight (online calculators put it well into the 30's)
It was my holy grail of fish! Best experiance ever for me.
Best part is I hope to catch it again next year!
