That was my fourth hookup before I was able to land one. I changed my hook to a #5 mustad ultrapoint and the game was on. The hook I had before would come out each time they would jump and shake their heads. I brought my catfish rod rigged with 30# test and it was all that thirty dollar rod could do to hang on to it. I bet he jumped ten times. I used some of the tuna we had caught earlier for bait even though my mother in law couldn't understand why I would use good fish to catch a fish that was only catch and release. I think I will go try this again this afternoon somebody told me where there were some over a hundred pounds wonder if my rod can handle that!
