I was out this weekend playing around with the Megabass FX-710X7 "The Destruction" I had a Zillion J-Dream 7.9L spooled up with 16lb Sunline Super FC Sniper and had been fishing a variety of jigs. Up in the river, I found 60 degree muddy water, pretty strong current, and a bluff wall that lead into a nice flat. I worked my way around the transition and into the meat of the bluff pitching a 3/4 oz jig with a large trailer, caught a couple of decent small mouth, then had a bite that felt like a punch in the arm
I didn't weigh it, but it was a pretty good sized Flathead Catfish, and it was not pleased when The Destruction hammered the hook home in 25' of water. The big, flat, wide body in the strong current made for a fun fight, and also a nice work out for the rod. Every once in a while it's fun to get a surprise like this one!
Awesome...
