WARNING!! This is a trotline fish! Went to our local lake where my buddy has a lake house and stayed a few days mostly channel cat fishing. Caught tons of channels but wanted to try for a trophy. Ran a line in a bottleneck of a creek and caught this toad. Had it baited with whole perch in 4 ft of water. Beat our PB by 15 lbs. Wish it had been on rod and reel, but we were tickled to get to catch him either way. Fish was released ![[Linked Image]](https://oi171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/layneashmore9/cat%202_1.png) ![[Linked Image]](https://oi171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/layneashmore9/big%20cat_1.png)

Awesome, glad you released her. Would've been a heck of a fight on Rod and Reel!
