Had to throw this up here - Ohio Cat
« on: Nov 22, 2012, 01:18 PM »


The other half of Team Robinson with her personal best Flathead catfish. We didn't have a scale but we taped it at 62" and the state estimate we received was 82#.
I personal think it was closer to the low 70's but whatever it was... it was a battle on 30# test with a medium action abu garcia rod  ;D
This is why I left NY

It's Huge Did slow run or fast and if not right away how did you get it to come up off the bottom

As soon as she set the hook it took off like it had a jet pack ;D  Obviously it didnt spool her but for a few seconds I was expecting it.
It seemed like it stayed about 3-5' down all the time (caught on a live sun fish under a bobber) and never did head for the depths. Had to wade in and land it by hand because we were fishing a rip rap and it would have cut her off if it would have gotten into those rocks... More than likely.
