This morning at work I mentioned to Papa Grump how the water level was at a nice level for a certain past productive spot. He agreed and it was decided that we would give a try tonight. At about 5:30 we headed out with all intentions of only being out for a few hours due to the approaching storms. I've seen what can happen with the storms 'a brewin. wink.gif

I was checking the radar on my phone and we noticed a hard line that was coming though and I thought, now was the time. Sure enough Papa's 7000 got hammered and the clicking pursued. After about a 15min fight his biggest fish of his life appeared. After a few snapshots and a release he rebaited and not much more than an hour passed and he hooked into 2nd biggest fish!

What a night.

I've had dumb luck of observing two monster fish caught this year with a bunch of respectable ones added in. Sometimes I wonder what is more fun, catching, or watching someone catch their biggest.

Fun stuff either way.

Congrats Brian!

50 lbs even and 46" of pure Gold!

Way to go guys!

I haven't been fishing these critters too long but my gut tells me that the big girls come out to play right before a storm. Just gonna need some more big fish caught to back that up but my 48lb came before/during thunderstorms, Papa Grumps 50lb came right before the storm, and there is a 49lb caught last night (mentioned in a different thread) that came before the storm.

And I was sitting at home because there was a "chance" of rain & storms. Never did get any rain at my place. shocked.gif

I think most of us would agree that yes catching the big one is better, but I think we all get just as excited seeing them get caught. That's one of the reasons it is fun fishing with a group. I don't think I am making a very enlightening comment here though. I think this is more of a consensus amongst cat guys than everyone else.
