    Caught on 1/8 oz nuckle ball jig by fin-tech tackle tip with fathead minnow jigging in 6 fow. took about 30 minutes to landed by myself and wasn’t easy to take pictures. This was the best I could do. Sent her back for seed – CPR

    Nice cat! You get any measurements or weight? Hard to tell by the pic’s but I’m guessing around 30 lbs.

    No measurements or weights, it was hard enough to land and take pic’s – I lift 50 pounds bucket of grout alot and it sure did feel close. Check out my face, I don’t think 30 pounds would make me pucker like that. The picture really don’t show how big this fish is. I would estimate around 35 to 40 pounds.

    Shorts in Oct don’t happen often
