Chris Fox 0That's right! Gotta love a good fishing story! Haha

Roger Parker 1It was amazing fried up!!! I had loads of fun with the pic, sent it out to family and in their minds it was a 50 pounder that I struggled with for an hour and barely ...more got into the boat... lol I will let them believe it for a while!!! At least until I come up with the next fishing story!! :)
-
Chris Fox 0Thanks Roger! I'm big on catfishing myself so I know how pictures can surely make them look bigger that what they actually are. Still an awesome fish, perfect ...more size for some nice fillets.
-
Roger Parker 0The catfish only weighed 9 lb 10 oz!!!!! I was was thinking 15 lbs and was quite shocked when it didn't even reach 10 lbs.. I doubled checked my digital scale ...more with a 5 lb dumbbell and the scale was correct. Nice job Chris!!! Pics can be deceiving!! My earlier post shows a truer size pic of the same catfish... Thanx all for keeping me amused!!! One day I will catch that monster!!!!

Tommy Horn 128 is my second guess

Roger Parker 0I don't fish it very often and am still learning the lake,, this time I put in at Nails Creek (would not recommend it), normally I fish the lake there side of ...more the lake. At Nails Creek the water depth was 2.5 feet deep for several hundred yards out. I'm in a bass tracker, anything bigger would of had trouble. The deepest holes I could find were no deeper the 6-7 feet, but the cat fishing was good, just had to weed through the gar which was every other cast.

Larry Mayberry 1I say 31 pounds. We were there Saturday but had no luck. Been years since I fished Somerville. Not sure just where to fish for catfish. Good fishing !!

Roger Parker 1One of you is warm,, the rest are way off!! Lol Fishing Tale- I cheated and caught it on a jug line,, made 6 of them out of pvc with swimming noodle tied to a 5 ...more lb dumbbell. Baited with huge piece of cut bait (shad). I was fishing near this jug line and saw when the catfish hit it,,, the noodle stood straight up then went under for a while... when it reemerged the fish pulled it to deeper water,,, it looked like jaws was on the line, lol... I watched it for two hours while it pulled it all around the cove and waited for it to tire cause I was going to have to land it by myself from the boat in strong winds...
