Now you did it!  I have to tell a fish story!  First, it's so awesome when the little men catch fish.  My older son is really good at fishing.  My younger son catches all the bait.  My father-in-law owns the house on lake Gaston.  The catfishing there is amazing.  But it's actually not as good as it was 10 years ago.  They started spraying to kill the Hydrilla and the catfishing is not as good.  When we first started fishing there the catfish would break every poll we brought.  Finally, I started using 30 pound braided line with 70 pound snap swivels.  So one night I hooked a monster.  And I had the drag on pretty hard with 30 pound test.  And that sucker almost took all the line off the spool.  I has sweating at the end and after 50 yard run the fish just sat there swimming for 3 minutes and I made no progress reeling him in.  After what seemed like forever I finally had this monster near the dock.  He went over to the pontoon boat rolled over and hit it.  The whole pontoon boat moved and was rocking back and forth on the boat lift.  It was amazing.  He then rolled around and went under the dock and I lost him.   Every year for about 5 years now I've been trying to catch that fish!

Maybe this guy already caught my fish:

My hope is to hook his young brother this April!
