Big cat at Echo 9-11-20

[wiperhunter2]

Most cat-tanglers release the big kitties after measuring them...but without a weight.  In that size range their weight can vary a lot based upon porkiness.  I have weighed and measured a few cats over 30 inches.  One I caught that was 32 inches...and fairly sleek...weighed just over 13 pounds.  The phatty Ira is holding is probably closer to 15.
Maybe more.

You guys have been doing well at Echo this year.  Now you gotta find some crappies...and walleyes.

Ira had a scale in the boat but wanted to get it back in the water asap. I had no idea it could have been anywhere near 15 lbs, wow. That turned out to be a four species day, cat, bass, perch and carp. Yea, would be nice to catch a crappie and eye out of Echo, not sure if that will happen anytime soon but you never know. Going to give Willard a try next week.
