Crazy Cats @ Chick 4/11/2007

[TR20bh]

I've been wanting to post this since last week but we just got the pics. My son, Brent & his bud, William Giles from the UTC Mocs football team got a break from spring practice right before the cold snap & got out to do some bass fishin'. William had just caught a 4-12 LM which was his biggest ever. Anticiation was in the air when he threw a lizard next to a stump in about 2' of water. When his line moved off he set the hook & it was on! With 8# mono & spinning rod, he couldn't contol the brute, but after chasing it around for about 15 min., Brent lipped the 44-10 blue cat. They didn't have a net & the one that 2 nice guys fishing near them brought over was too little to get this cat into. When you look at these fish, they may look a little small cause the guys holding them are pretty big dudes. Giles is a 6-4, 300# off. lineman & Brent is a 6-2, 270# fullback/ tight end. Anyway, DHaun, I thought you may want to consider this cat [even tho it was a fluke catch] for the HOF since they landed it on 8# test!

Brave man sticking your hand in that cat's mouth like that. It only takes one time to loose some skin and you wont be doing that again!

8lb test...way to go! Nice bass too!</p>

He might lose some skin, but it would be totallllllly worth it!

Excellent job. Hmmmm... that tells me that we should fish shallow shoals for catfish this weekend!

That's some fun fishing itsn't it TR? Wow, a 44lber on 8lb line, that's a great catch. It takes skill to get one like that in on that light line. Congrats guys.

It is hard to do but if you don't jerk back when they clamp down the skin will stay on.

That is a GREAT catch. That took some skill in landing that one with light line. CONGRATULATIONS! I have been talking to some friends that jug fish down around marion county park and they said they have been fishing them 3-5 ft deep. They have been catching a few but none like that one.emoWorthy

Good looking fish guys.I bet that was a blast. Oh & guy's & gals it was 44.10Lbs. and everyone knows you round up when weighing a fish. So we'll call her 45Lbs., Right guys?

 Hey Brent, I know you play for UTC, so whats up with the UT shirt?

. I'm a Vols fan, but I hope Coach don't see this. Somebody will be running stadiums for a while!

This cat was caught way back in a slough, upriver from the nuke plant.

What kind of line were you using? emoWorthy

T4B,
I think the line was 8# BPS Excel mono on a Daiwa Regal spinning reel.
