Well me and Josh (gone fishin 4 kittys) where fishin the other day and he goes "hey you gotta bite" hes not that exp. with my baitcasters and i told him its probly the currnet cause it was just 3 slight clicks, like my sinker rolled a lil. So i go and pick it up any way and i feel a lil nible. I say "oh its just a lil guy tryin to get that shad in his mouth. Then a steady pull, i thought the lil guy finally got tha shad in his mouth,man was i mistaken....................................................
can you say "Choo Choo" he took off like a fright train. after a ten minute non stop tug of war battle i pulled out this beast. Josh was like "the current huh? and some lil guy!"

Nice looking fish man!! I had one nearly drag my brand new baitcaster in the river because all I heard was a click or two.

The blue in my profile pic was the same thing. I had just cast that pole and was baiting the others and my 6 year old said I had a bite. I said it was the current and looked up and he was pulling on the pole. I asked if he was snagged, he said no, it was a fish, so I told him to reel it in. He said he couldn't, so I went up to get the pole, a little torqued because I figured he'd snagged me. When the fish took off, I was totally surprised. Glad the little guy helped me out.

That's a great channel cat, man.

Nice fish! Had a similar thing happen to me at the coast a couple years ago with a 3 and a half foot shark in the surf. Talk about a suprise!!! I bet your eyes were wide when you saw that bad boy!!

Good job brother thats one heck of a nice fish. I bet he gave you a great fight and a good time to remember with ol joshy. Nothing like making memories with a good friend.

it is the biggest channel i ever caught and definitely the most fun! I have caught flats much bigger but did not give the fight this one did. He was "non stop" even out of the water!
