Caught the biggest cat of my life (so far) UPDATE pics

[Fishin' Jeff]

Last night my fishing buddy Tristan and I went bass fishing. 'Twas a beautiful evening on the lake, and I told him of this spot where I had caught 8 lg mouths last weekend. So we make our way to the honey hole and we each caught and released 4 or 5 nice size bass. I caught all of mine on a jointed shallow diving Rapella. (Same lure I used las weekend) Well, it's getting close to sunset, and I'm starting to whine a bit as I had left my clamp on lights in the car. I tell Tristan that if we're going to keep fishing, we need to run back to the dock and get lit up. He goes Aww, one or two more casts so I agree and on the second cast, WHAM! It hit that lure and I had a 10-15 minute fight on my hands. When I finally got it close to the boat, I tried to lift it in, and the durn thing still had a lot of fight in him and snapped my pole in half! So I grab the tip end and pull him in that way. Wow, what a blast! Weighed in at a little over six pounds I think. We had my daughter get on our digital bathroom scale and did the before and after thing.

Sorry the pics are so dark. I told you it was getting late.d I'll post more as we took more pics when we got home to the real camera. These were shot with my phone.

And here I thought that you had actually caught a real "CAT"! I did that one time but that`s another story. I think I may have posted it one time. If not just ask and I will post it again. Even though it was next to animal abuse, it was pretty darn funny untill I had to remove the hook.:^

Fire away, LD aka Bassin Fever, I love a good fishin story!

That same night, my buddy was casting towards this muskrat that was swimmin' around. Actually, while he was trying for it, he got the biggest bass of the night, and at first he thought he had gotten the 'rat!:^
