Yeah wow, if he horsed that thing in on THAT gear he's damn good and so was the driver of that boat... his gear didn't look nearly heavy enough for that, at the very least he had to have been using some Spiderwire on that open face.
Its also pretty rare to catch catfish on bass lures like spinners, although its happened to me a few times... cool post, RC.
In other news, my overnight trip saturday went great, my boss has a cabin on a 7 acre lake that's been in place for 50+ years and is 35 foot deep... a good, solid lake.
He gave me the key to the cabin, I had a paddleboat to fish from and it was awesome, such a beautiful lake, he spends $1000 a year keeping it moss free, its so easy to fish and is such a "fish friendly" lake, meaning that there is just a ton of cover all along every bank... if a tree falls in the water it gets left right there, tree's growing out over the water, huge banks of cattail... theres just cover EVERYWHERE.
Just me by my lonesome, 12 fish, mostly keeper size bass, it was a real treat and I cant wait to go back again, my best day of the year so far... got up, cooked breakfast and coffee over the fire, went for a dip later on, its what summer is all about.
