Ryan Tussey and his brother, Ben, traveled all the way from West Virginia to fish with me. Of course the planned date included a prediction of 15-20 mph winds. emoBang <br /><br />But early AM wasn&#39;t bad, and right off the bat Ryan stuck a 37 lb. pig. Ryan has caught a lot of catfish but said this was probably the longest battle he had ever had. It was one of those demon fish that just wouldn&#39;t say &quot;Uncle.&quot;<br /><br />That happened within the first 15 minutes. The day sort of went downhill from there. :o <br /><br />We caught fish, but it was a fight to try and fish effectively in the wind. Ryan and Ben had several other quality fish in the 10-18 lb. class... and a whole bunch of &quot;eaters.&quot; We figured 30 fish total. <br /><br />But it&#39;s always a special treat to fish with HARDCORE catfishermen. Ryan and Ben are exactly that. Days like this one are just another reason, life is good and gettin&#39; better every day!<br /><br /><br /><br />
