We got up early and got some shad. Not as many as I'd like but enough. It was 2 buddies and my wife, who has never been kayak fishing ever and is also very scared to touch fish. Hahahaha. We went up to Ray Robert's paddled up in the trees and started fishing. It started right away. The fish were hungry. First fish was about 10 lbs. After several more catches one rod started screaming. It was a real fish. My wife struggled hard to reel it up to the kayak but after several runs finally got it to the side. What a pig. 38 inch fish! I'm guessing 25-30 lbs. We got a few pics but no real good ones of the monster. It was a great day.

A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Nice! Well done!

I don't like to eat catfish (sorry grandma!) and I don't like catching the odd cat when bass fishing because they slime up the line. However, monster hunting is something that I want to do someday... have never caught a freshwater fish over 9 or 10 lbs and a 30 pounder sounds crazy fun. Monster cats or monster gar... both sound fun.

Well done Christain. Glad you got back on the water!!!

I was surprised to see I could throw my big and super heavy castnet from my tarpon 160.

Yes, I think she did. The big cat flopped in her lap, she said it tried to eat her so she kicked it out of the kayak. Hahahahaha. Next time we will go for some sandies.

It's hard to beat an active day of sandies and Ray Roberts is drunk with sandies... she should love it.

My son caught a 2.something pounder on Ray Roberts many years ago. I don't remember the exact weight, but it was approaching 3 lbs. We were chunking road runners on ultralights with 4lb test. I was proud of his patience at 16 or 17 years old, he didn't say a word and simply finessed the beast to the boat. Good memories.
