ok, so i went out and bought a berkely rod. great rod, love it, im now fishing with 3 at a time. tonight i went out there, was about to pull it all in and go home, and i got a bite on the berkely rod. i start to reel, but this is a big one, i can tell because its actually pulling the line out on the drag...not even the catfish did that. so im fighting, and i finally get it to the shore--i THINK it was a catfish, not sure, but it was about 2 or a lil more feet long, and had to weigh about 15 lbs. i was about to land it when the hook i was using bent and he popped off, then fell right into the water, looked at me, then started to slowly swim off. i scrambled to get a bigger hook on my swivel and get a worm on there, but to no avail. i guess you can say ive REALLY been bitten by the bug this time, getting just a taste of a really really big one.
