Well I did sneak out today and had a blast. Did I land any? Nope, foul hooked the only one I had on but Brent had a couple. In fact his first Cat on the fly was awsome. He fought for over 12 minutes and was within 5 feet of my grasp when his line snapped. I can say for sure this Cat would have gone 38-40 inches and well over 30 pounds. It was huge. He did land his first Cat which was 35 1/2 inches which is a fish that you can hang your hat on. I did land a couple, Drum ( approx. 24") a nice White Bass (15") and a goldeye (13"). Also saw Aaron and the Tulley boys out fishing. They were doing a bit better landing some real nice Carp. Of course Kim was out as well acting as photographer. All in all a great day.

As promised here is a pic of Brent with his second Cat. Sure wish we could have landed the first one.

Thanks for the picture Stu. But what is that in that cat's mouth? Yes there is no denying it, that is the now famous DDH leach. BJ

Most times the fight will last 9-12 minutes. The great thing about fly rods is the length. Faster in fighting the fish.
