Mattaponi River

Very cold December night the one big fish I had bite pulled the hook at the boat. Probably around a 30lber. Caught 3 fish and one of them on my new Whisker Seeker rod.

Catfish were not biting good got one 20”er and 8 baby catfish maybe next time.

Finally got to do some fishing, it was top water morning on the Mattoponi. No wall hangers but fun all the same

#Catch24 still working with her to reel em in on her own she’s getting better at it. We just caught one then her reel got hung up on a cast and snapped line so just caught rest of bait with cast net

Caught 7 catfish between 26 & 30” in a slow night of fishing. The last 5 were caught when I was about to pack up. The fish literally hit every pole I had out one by one. I reeled one fish in landed it then drag started screaming on the next rod and that repeated five times till I had all my rods in. Exciting end to night of fishing.

Fun night catching catfish. Had a few crazy things happen. I lost about a 30lb ear that I was fighting on one of my rods but when I reeled it in the fish was hooked on another rod. I went for the net but missed it by a couple seconds because it pulled loose from the hook. Another crazy thing is I caught the same fish about 3-4 hours later that’s why I’m showing two pictures of the same fish.
