Default It's a Kershaw!!!

I went out to catch some feeder fish tonight with my buddy mrgeese. I hooked this guy but handed the rod to him to untangle another rod. That will teach me!

Measured 38" long, weighed 25 pounds. Had a HUGE gut on him. Darn thing evidently thought that bluegill head looked like fish food from the feeder. Silly kitty!

Another pic with him on the scale:


The release (at least he let me help somehow ):


Caught several others between 22 and 28". Fun night and a relaxing way to end the day! Thanks for going out with me buddy!

At 38 inches, I believe that would be the biggest channel cat any Forum member has reported this year from TR3. Congratulations.
