went up to a local pond tonight with a few buddies with the intentions of catching a few cats...well to start things off it looked like it was going to rain all evening and then it just seemed to settle in on us but it never rained...well with all the cloud cover, the bluegill wouldnt hit at all, but finally managed around a dozen, so I threw my lines out and almost immediately had a super hit, but couldnt set a hook into it...sat around and shot the breeze with everybody and around 11:00 pm i had another good solid hit...I got up and set the hook...and boy o boy did that fish do a flip out on the surface of the pond...I knew i had hooked into a pure hawg!!! so I am reeling it in all the time thinking why didnt I bring the dipnet tonight...then all the sudden we saw the fish roll near the bank and it was a whopper...i sent my best friend up to my house (3 miles up the road) to get the net, so after a 30 min ordeal...we had the biggest fish in the pond on the bank...it was a monster blue cat that weighed in at 44.12lb...WOOOOWEEEEE it was my new PB bluecat, surpassing my old best by a pound...anyways here are the pics I got on my camera...my buddy took some more that are far better...but it was shortly released after pictures and a good weighing
