I didn't have a tape measure with me but I put the fish next to my rod and marked how long it was so I could measure when I got home. It ended up going just a hair over 31". I've caught a pretty good number of cats in my life but this one was by far the biggest I've ever caught or seen in person.
I was fishing about 50 yards down from the harbor exit on the paved dike inside the harbor most of the time. Near the end, I moved to the outside close the end of the dike but only got a small white bass there. As for the water depth, I'm not positive. I was just fishing with a 3/4 ounce sliding egg sinker rig on the bottom. I would cast out as far as I could and every 5 minutes or so bring it in a few cranks. The majority of my bites would come pretty quickly after bringing it in a few winds. I typically get more fish on the chicken liver, but this time all but one came on the shrimp.
