Catfish Potomac

[Captmikestarrett]

The wife and I went out a wee bit late today. Missed the morning bite and launched at 11:30 am. The river was angry will waves from every direction as boaters zoomed this way and that in huge go-fasts and giants offshore boats. It seems that MR Corona w/lime showed up last night along with some old friends so I was not getting up early like planned.

Back to the fishing.. cast net yielded two bluegill and a carp. Arm hurting we set up duel anchors in a likely spot. Tail hooked the bluegill w/ a 9/0 circle hook and tossed him out. Before I could get the second rod out it got a hit and peeled half the spool out before I could click the baitrunner over. Hooked up I passed a very big fish on to my wife while I worked on a clearing the deck for big fish. She fought the fish like a pro for many long minutes. It got about ten feet out and came unbuttoned.. DARN never did see it either.

Many small cats up to about 20 lbs but no big ones today because of Mr Corona..
