FISHING SEASON 2K12!!!!!!
- Thread starter NCStateFisher
- Start date
went at it for a few hours today. Disaster almost struck. I was reeling in a fish on one rod and one that was about 15 yards away.. SPLASH goes an Abu 6500c3 and Ugly Cat. The water I was fishing was only about 4 ft deep and I could still see the butt of the rod so I let the fish I was reeling in freespool and jumped in! Got the rod AND THE FISH! Unfortunately the one that I was reeling in got off during the whole ordeal, but sure glad I got my reel back. Caught half a dozen carp, biggest 6 pounds and one little one that I kept for flathead bait. Also got probably 10 channels and kept a few for supper. Got into tons of crappie and kept the biggest 3 for supper too. Couple real nice shad made it to the freezer too. Also adding pics of my bait tank.

Na at this lake I sit a big rock on the end and keep the rod tip high and spool locked so the circle hooks set and the rods load up. It always works because the average size is 3-5 lbs but a 10^ may give me trouble with that.
man thats crazy, sucks when it happens but it happens to everybody that catfishes eventually! just glad u got ur rig back
i will never doubt the strength of any fish after losing that rod off the pier last year, wish i would of known what was on the other side of it.
the channel cat pictured in my above post is the one that pulled the rod in. Not a big one by any means.
just ordered some power handles for my 6500c3's that are on my flathead rods
