    Check out Chappy’s cat…Looks like the dog is trying to figure out just what the heck it was! I am glad the cat did not go ballistic inside the boat, you know how dogs and cats are!

    Nice looking cat Chappy. How much did it weigh? I’m guessing mid 20’s. Do I win a prize if I’m right?

    Tuck was estimating in the mid 40’s to 50#. He said it’s the biggest one he’s ever had in a boat. Caught it on my sons pole with 6# test.Unbelievable that 6# test could bring something like that off the bottom.

    sounds right to me!.. I use the hand in the mouth system…. you have two hands in the mouth easy… thats at least 40#… the one in the pic that I took from yesterday the guy only got one hand in the mouth… probably a 20#+ cat….
    to bad you did not measure it….

    Meoooow Meooow,
    Nice fish Chappy. They sure are prehistoric looking when they break the surface for the first time during the fight!
    Glad to see a pic of her. I boated one a couple years ago on 6lb test that went 44 inches long and weighed 43 lbs. I would say this one has a run in the that size as well.

    I made a half hearted attempt to lay it next to a 30″ judge, and laughed! It was at least a dozen inches more than that! I estimated mid to upper 40’s. The girth was amazing! I have an over sized Beckman, and it more than filled it up!

    Nice fish Chappy!

    I think that Cat should be on our Home Page front and center.
