Had the opportunity to take Nick, a 13 yr old young gun, friend of Catfish 1.\<br /\>We started out fishing a spawning flat where we quickly caught 4 keepers,\<br /\>which Nick caught 3 of the 4. Moved to a deeper water brush piles where I\<br /\>had recently caught big crappie. No takers here. Went to shoot a reliable\<br /\>dock, that is known to produce. Nick has great dock shooting skills. We\<br /\>killed 9 3/4 crappie here, with some keepers in the mix. Nick was having a \<br /\>blast here and did not want to leave this gold mine. We departed here to look\<br /\>for big fish. As soon as we hit the main lake, we encountered 3-4 foot waves.\<br /\>Headed to the creek for some calmer water. Fished a wooden dock with lots of posts,\<br /\>where we caught several crappie, several shorts with some keepers. Im \<br /\>fishing my usual 1/32 oz jig on 4 lb test when I stick a beast, and for the next \<br /\>30 minutes I get abused. It starts running around every post, and going where ever \<br /\>it pleases. I ran the boat all the way under this dock, through a narrow opening\<br /\>chasing this fish. Got a glimpse of him as it briefly sufaced. Appeared to be a\<br /\>flathead cat 20-30 lbs. Had to climb up on this dock, where Nick handed me the rod,\<br /\>got the fish to open water, as working the fish upward, with bubbles appearing,\<br /\>SNAP! line broke, game over. He now has a jig for a nose ring! I was so mad I felt I \<br /\>needed to break something, but held back to be a good example. Moved onto other docks,\<br /\>where things improved, I quickly lost the prop off the trolling motor,\<br /\>the second one in two weeks. This lead to anchoring and tying off to docks, SWEET! \<br /\>Had the pleasure of meeting Spurhunter, and shared my cat adventure with him.\<br /\>Nick and I finished with 17 keepers, and I look forward to another trip with him\<br /\>when the bite is better!
