Caught this guy on my new combo this weekend to break her in. I forgot my lip grippers and couldn’t safely weight this guy. Didn’t fit in net and I had to get him to mid stomach to get back fin off ground. I have a 32” inseam. I’m guessing he felt about 25 pounds.
Hey guys avid fisherman here new to serious catfishing. I have caught many cats on very lightweight set ups and it’s always fun on light weight tackle but I want a real cat set up already. I’m pretty sure I’m set on a hellcat rod but can’t decide between these two reels. Any tips or input would be greatly appreciated. Last pic is my pb so far on 10lb mono light action rod.
