I don't get shook up over fish.
Big bucks, yes. Turkeys, yes. But not stupid fish ... until about 2hrs ago.
I've caught a lot of catfish that went over 20lbs in my life so it's not like I'm a beginner but good grief. I just fought probably the biggest fish I've ever had on a line.
Had just a couple of hours this afternoon after work so Israel and I put over near the house and went in the river fishin with cane poles. We had caught about a half dozen fair size bream on fishing worms when I tied into the catfish just before dark. It was like a grown man trying to take my pole. Line creaking, pole cracking, and the ziiiip of tight line cutting the water, awesome. He made two strong runs and turned the boat sideto. Then he made that last strong run and I knew things were strained to the limit when the line snapped. Fresh 25lb test he broke.
And that's the one that got away.

. you've been having some good fishin down that way , especially for the heat. the braided line is really good till ya get it snagged lol . then its tough stuff , and cutting it sometimes doesnt work when it way out there. losing all that line just isnt an option. pretty good size fish to break the 25lb test though, think maybe you had a muskie or something ?
