Fished a private lake today and noticed this Blue Cat hanging around a lay down while I Bass fished. Could not stand it! Caught a blue gill, cut it up for bait, threw on a 3/0 circle hook, the rest is history. Fish swam around and fell victim to a well placed cast. I was fishing alone so I could not get a great trophy pic:(. Best guess fish was 40+ lbs. Still grinning ear to ear!!!

That's definitely a big fish! Must have been a good battle on that spinning gear. Well done and congrats!

Shoulda put a couple of fingers in it's mouth to see how hard it could bite:)
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

Thanks guys ! It was an epic catch ! Not going to lie rod, line, and reel combo whipped fish fairly quick. I was using Gloomis NRX 804s XMR rod, 20lbs suffix 832 braid, and a Shimano Ci4+ 4000hg reel. That rod is my " WAR rod" ! From bass to huge cats, it's the most amazing rod I have used. Just a donkey slayer. Still smiling !!! Love it!!
