smerchly Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hey ....that's a big cat ! WTG ....lots of fun fighting them frisky whiskered fellows . Any idea what it weighed ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Carp Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 I didn't weigh it, I'd estimate about 12-13lbs. Really healthy,strong fish. On my way back from the pier(Michigan side) I noticed lots of zombie salmon in the marina but also some browns as well, and actually a couple of browns jumped in the channel while I was there. I'll have to try some of that 'fancy' fishing someday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catfish Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Nice cat. Looks a solid 10lbs, none the less a nice fish. Did you get a decent fight from it? I find they are really unpredictable when that size, some fight well, some are like reeling in a stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Carp Posted October 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks guys, yeah he fought like a tank. I actually hooked another one of a similar size but he got between some of the big rocks down there and I lost him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pike Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 Wow, a real beauty. Were you actually fishing for Casts at the time Johnny, or were they gobbling up your carp bait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Carp Posted October 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I caught it on a dew worm caught fresh from my backyard the previous night. I usually bring worms/corn/doughballs when I go fishing so this particular session I started with worms and it seemed to be working so I stuck with that. I find I catch a lot of cats on corn as well.

pudge Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 you need a bigger net! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Carp Posted October 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2014 I know! I have a ridiculously huge Frabill net that was sitting in the trunk of my car- I just brought the small one for some reason(probably laziness) but I won't make that mistake again. Honestly,the Frabill could catch a transport truck and still have room to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
