Glad it wasn't slithering around in my shanty. Cool catch though

Woah that thing is crazy! I would freak out if I yanked that up in my flipover and had it jumping around in there with me! Mind if I ask what lake its from?

I got it at Chadwick lake in Orange County ,it kept tripping my tip ups and dropping the bait, then it hit a dead stick with a med shiner and my 6 yr old son reeled it in. It put up a good fight too!! Lol

You can smoke them or fry them they are pretty decent tasting.

OneidaAngler · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 06:20 PM »

That. Is. AWESOME!!! Always have wanted to catch one but, I here they make a rat's nest of line and slime when you bring them in.

bigcatch81 · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 06:30 PM »

Hope it didn't wrap around your kids arm. Would ruin him fke life. I just cut line if I catch one.

Very cool, I caught one through the ice three years
Ago. It was after dark when i was picking up at the end of the day. Very very slimy.

upstate bass2 · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 07:02 PM »

He kept trying to hold it for a picture but it would squirm away lol. Those things are strong!!

Pkomrowski · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 07:14 PM »

Having that in a flip top could get interesting if you were a bit crowded in, especially if wifey was with you!

walkinonwater · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 11, 2014, 07:19 PM »

I'm not a fan of snakes but that is definitely a cool catch! Fish on!
