Great fish and great report! I bet they put up a really good fight coming from 50ft down!

[SalmonDaze]

I'm sorry . . . you indicated there was a fish caught.

Would you mind including pictures of the fish?

;):D

[ThrillSeeker]

Nice twins.....

(talking about the catfish)

[Adrian]

Haha. Yep she got a couple of big'uns. Actually she did mention that she liked reeling them in from 50' down. I had to remind her that she was using a tiny hook and not to straighten it out by pulling too hard...

[TNBronzeback]

Big fish but tiny hooks? Whats the thought behind that? Keep the shad livelier so they arent fighting a heavy hook?

[ttitan27]

Nice fish, any idea what they weighed?

[Adrian]

The tiny hooks are like Magic. Derive from it what you will, but the tiny, and I mean tiny, hooks get at least 3 to 1 hits over the bigger ones. My big 80lb braid rig with the big hook only got thumps and No Fish. I guess you could attribute it to livelier shad or maybe fish getting spooked when they feel the bigger hooks hitting their lips. Besides that, the tiny ones are almost invisible.

I had just worked out right before this, and I can tell you the first one was in the 25lb range. The photo didn't do it justice.

I do not doubt for one second they weighed what you say......big fish......but what the heck does having just worked out have to do with it.....LOL?

He lifted a few 25's while at the gym! Muscle memory.

I do a lot of 12 ounce curls. I can tell a difference when all I have in the fridge is tall boys.

Bingo! Single arm curling 25s and 35s before leaving the house. Very Scientific! )

[Reel Tune]

Pulling catfish up from that depth do you have to fizz them?

[Fishaholic]

Very nice was that Old Hickory?

Big Cats like that are as Strong as a Garlic Milkshake. Besides, they didn't come to the surface quickly by any means. We had them on the deck for quite a while waiting on Boaters to go by, then we took Pictures. When I put him over the side of the boat, he took off like a Rocket. )

& Yes, It's Old Hickory.

I was wondering if you guys kept them to eat. Those are some monsters.

Nah, the tasty ones are between 4-8 pounds for me.

I am with you, after they get that big I don't care to eat them.

[FloatNFish]

You guys sure have been catching some monsters! Keep it up!

When you say tiny vs large what size hooks are we talking?

[Adrian]

I'm really bad at hook sizes, but I can say the Bigger hooks are a little bigger than a Thumbnail, and the Tiny hooks are as small as a Pinky Nail. Does that make sense?

;):D

I was kinda thinking the same thing

[bates19]

You really do know how to catch'em!
