Huge catfish snaps rod like a twig!! (video)

[DTro]

There's a funny story behind this whole video. About a week ago, John was battling a big fish and I got overly excited and when I grabbed the net, it hooked one of his poles in his vertical rod holder and was sacrificed to the river gods.

Anyways, I ordered up another rod/reel for him. The one that was lost was a Storm thunderstick and was more like a channel cat rod, so the one I had given him was a Berkely Big Game that was by no means a Flathead rod but more like what was lost.

So anyways we were over at P2 on Thursday and he wanted to break that rod in with a fish. so he had a small piece of cutbait out and boy oh boy did he ever 'break' it in.

Thats awsome and if you listen closely the song matches the action.

The rod snaps when the song hits the words the He11 with it.

Congrats on the fish John
