Well I took my 9 year old son out catfishing tonight for some flats on the Mn river. After a 1 1/2 mile driver on a 4 wheeler trail in the f 150 we got to the spot about 5:00pm. Threw out my line and started to set up the kids pole when i got a run. After a 15-20 min battle I landed my biggest flat yet. A 49 pound 2 ounce pig. About time I got bigger than 43 pounds. My boy then had a small cat mess with the bait but it dropped it. Then I noticed some dark clouds getting close. Then I got my next run and after a couple min battle I felt the hook rip out of what felt like a 20 pound fish. I no more than sat the pole down to get some bait and my boy gets a run. After some good words of wisdom I told him to set the hook. I seen his eyes get big and seen it was pulling good. 15 min later He gave us a look. Nice fish! 10 more min of fighting and I landed his second biggest flat for him a 30 pound gut with some flathead around it. A nice short fat flat. After some high fives and some hooting and hollering the wind started to blow hard. We grabed the gear and headed for the truck. No more than sat down in the truck and the rain came down. I guess it's true that the fish feed before the storm. I got some pics on the phone. I'll try to get them on here sometime. Once I figure how to get them from there to here.
