Nothing like testing out ones drag settings. Healthy looking critter
I set the hook and it didn't move , I thought what the heck there isn't anything down there but fish ?
Shortly there after it became a rather chatty , reel screaming, BRUTAL fight to the finish on my 4 lb test mono and a short rod .
How did I end up holding such a brute on this light of tackle for as long as it took to land it you might ask ?
No clue would be answer other than the grace from above , not many decent channel cat on tackle that light get to see dry land ......
KABOOM is me and a no nibble/scent 1/32 hand tie down in that ugly mug was how it all began

Yeah I bet that was a fun little fight. Bet you had to cut off 6' of line slime and re-tie your jig on...

Those channels are fun to catch, fight like the dickens.
Did it become a fish dinner?
