It has been a long summer without posting any fish. The last couple of times I have fished for cats, I have had a single good bite.
The first I pulled out of a snag and still had the fish long enough to determine it was good size, then it broke the line as I went for the net.
The second never got to a snag, but simply fought for a minute on some older 20# line, then decided it was time to go and the line snapped.
Tonight I checked my line, checked my drag, and threw out a chunk of carp and a piece of squid on the two lines respectively. The squid got attention right away,
but nothing big enough to get a mouth around it.
I did get a good fish on the carp though. I mark it at 27.5 inches. Not the biggest in the contest, but enough to bump my score a little.
I also had to take a 10" mudcat off the carp rod after the big fish.
Caught 9/24/15

[#005000]Sounds like some good bites. And a nice catch, it does bump a 26, so nice "up" to your total.
27.5 pnts
Now I just gotta get my graph updated!
