Took my dad and my brother catfishing Friday night..They are visiting here in Tennessee from New Orleans..Took them to my honey hole and it was really slow going..Got a good hit right off the bat but missed him..I only target big fish so we didn't even try to catch the little dinks..Then nothing for 1hr and finally got a hit and hung him..Passed the pole to my brother to reel in (my brother is blind)..Took him a while to net him, he made a few good runs and was peeling off the line like crazy..He came in at 32lbs, a blue cat...My dad hung one and we got him in close enough to see he was about a 15-20lb flathead but he spit the hook right at the bank..Then right before we were ready to head back to the house I hung another one, got him close enough to see this one was a blue bout 30lbs and he popped the line at the hook..Just missed him..All and all it was a good night..We all at least hung into a fish and my brother got to catch the biggest catfish he's ever caught..
