When I was a kid, a friend of mine and myself pulled 7 channel cats all about this size from under a small dock on a duckweed infested lake with a cane pole and 10lb test. It was one of the funnest days of fishing in my life. We were laughing the whole time! 😂😂😂
I called it before I you said anything, I did the exact same thing on a shakey head rig, 60 lb flathead, took me close to 20 minutes to get it in. Awesome stay with him.
Kudos on way ya quietly handled the fish!! Constant pressure, let drag do the work, eased the fish onto bank! Time to get exited, whoop, holler, dance, scream AFTER ya landed him!! Well done!!
Fight it with the rod and drag. Amazing what you can catch that exceeds the test rating of your line. I would have turned him back. He was an older gentleman to be that size. Fun to say hello, might get to see him again one day
🎣 now that is one fantastic sized catfish, for sure it is and definitely a good meal out of that one. Catfish are so delicious. A job well done on catching this fish 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice job working it in on 12lb line... i once got a 52 lb 4' 2" long flat head on 17lb stren line....after that i started using 50lb line on 9' surf pole....been hooked on flathead cat fishing ever since...everything else is just bait...
My personal record is a 36lb salmon on 6# test. Loved the video! Awesome that this was your first date! I also caught my record on my first date. Thanks for sharing.
I thought I had a big cat a few years ago on 6lb test and a crappie pole. Just messing around at night with some chicken livers not really expecting much. Fought it for what felt like an hour and when I finally got it to the shore and was excited to see how big it was, it showed itself and was a massive snapping turtle! Scared the crap out of me at first expecting a fish.
I was fishing in a gravel pit the river ran into at the inlet. Hooked what I thought was a big walleye. Turned out to be a big snapping turtle too. He was hooked in the front leg, I went to grab my jig to unhook him and he snapped at me and cut the line. Almost lost a digit that day
Way to stay with him … patience is your ally.
Nice! On an ultralight rig too! I'm impressed. 😅
That's why I use smaller rods, makes the fish seem bigger.
@@Kevin-xj2ii No need for that here. That was a big fish!
Beautiful fish

Way to be smooth and let him tire himself out. Way to go bro!!!!
You should be a monk. That's great fishing right there. Well done.
I love catfishing and you just made my day. Big cats and light line are a thrill.
Best eating catfish there is.
Catfish are getting bigger every time 👍🎣👍🎣👍
That's what I was going to say. It's fighting like a flathead. Staying on the bottom. 👍 awesome.
Don't you just love rod benders?
Wow that was awesome

Good job mate, truly a beast.
Loved and Subscribed!
I knew it had to be a cat. Lol
Big boi
Where's this at?
He not going to tell you lol
@michaelsutton1363 oh yea I agree lol I was meaning what state
All that work and effort for a fish no better than a carp. Sad.
You are just a picky eater
Foul hooked !!!!
I thought that might be the case too. But I can’t imagine what the odds are of that it being hooked where it was
