Hi guys, now I know this pic is bad. I was with my best bud fishing for Bass on the local lake we had no luck all night on our Berkley, and it was getting kinda dark. My buddy has this chair and I resorted to targeting crappies as he resorted to sleeping, we both had our lines out and he said, "You're hooked on my line buddy," to which I replied with a. "Like hell I am." No sooner had I finished saying this when his drag started screaming across the lake. We looked at each other and said Carp!(Which would have been a first for both of us,) I ran for the camera. Now when I get to this point I want to add, I am sorry we landed this Monster how we did, but I just bought my net this weekend after realizing the probability at catching one of these monsters is pretty good where we go. The line peeled and ran, he reeled and watched as I hurried to retrieve the camera, this was the biggest fish either of us had ever caught and we knew it was huge, the fight lasted ten minutes on 4 pound test and a 5'6" rod. The result was a catfish as long as my arm and as heavy as my cat, my buddy beached her and she snapped the line, I knew I had to stop it from reaching the water, we needed to prove this event with documented evidence I used my foot to keep it ashore as it tried very very very hard to get back to the lake. It was a team effort and this is the fruit of our labour. I want to add I am sorry the fish is dirty, and I feel horrible he stopped its escape but this is a beautiful fish!! Thanks for the views, I am off to catch me a carp so my buddy can't keep bragging he has the record among us.

Hi there guys and gals. My name is Mike, I am fishing now for my second year and man do I just love everything about Fishing. I try to fish at least 3 times a week. I am blessed to be right on the Historic Grand River in Brantford, so fishing is never to far away. I am always Ten or Fifteen speeds from any fishing hole, lol. Have good one and good luck!
