Fishing Forum

<br /> I will post some pics here ASAP....all I can say is what a day 8 blues at 420+ lbs and the coveted triple digit fish to top it off. Here is the report the clients wrote up for another forum.102 pound Blue catfish Myself, Dad (Jerry Cline) and brother (Josh Cline) had the pleasure to fish Wheeler Lake in Alabama with Guide, Mike Mitchell this past Friday, February 5th. This day was one that we will never forget!!! <br /> <br />We anchored on our second spot around 9:00 AM and the fun began. The first rod dropped and Dad uses a TWC rod to land a 30 lb Blue. The second TWC rod dropped and I catch a 40 lb Blue. No bites for 15 minutes and we go to our next spot. First rod drops and Josh uses a TWC rod to catch his PB a 66 lb Blue. Second TWC rod drops and Dad fights and land his PB 72 lb Blue. No bites for a few minutes and we move again. <br /> <br />My rod goes down and I grab the rod out of the Monster Rod Holder and immediately know that this is a monster. It felt like I had just hooked into a car. I have never felt something so big and so strong in all my life of fishing! I kept telling Mike, my dad and Josh that this is a giant. After about a 10-15 minute fight Mike lands the fish in the net. Josh and Mike lift the giant Blue into the boat. After several minutes of extreme excitement it is time to weigh the fish. Mike pulls out his 100 pound scale and the scale reads FULL!!! I can't believe that I have just caught a 100 pound fish. Mike then brings out his 110 pound scale and the Blue weighs in at 102.52 lbs!!! The Blue was 54 inches long and the girth measured 40 inches. We take several pictures and release the big Blue back into Wheeler. The total for the day was 8 Blues for 420 pounds!!! <br /> <br />Thanks to Mike Mitchell, TWC rods and Monster Rod Holders! If you ever get down to Alabama call Mike at (256)673-2250 for a trip of a lifetime! <br /> <br />Enjoy the pics. <br /> <br />Joe
