Had an awesome trip last night with Joe Edwards of Raleigh, along with his son Joe and friend Austin. The bite was a bit on the slow side, but we managed to put some quality fish in the boat. Little Joe got the trash talking started early with a 14 pound blue….but Austin answered back when he hooked up with a beast of a fish. After a solid 15 minute fight, we weighed in a 30 pounder that would be his biggest catfish to date! At the end of the trip, the young fellows were even kind enough to let big Joe reel one in. 😉 All in all it was a great trip in my book, and I can’t wait to get back out there again. The big fish bite will only continue to improve as we move into the colder months, so come fish with me! Tight lines
