15lb cat, 5lb line

Using the UL rod, 500 sized spinner with 10lb braid to 5lb flouro. Borrowed a scale from a passing kayaker and it bounced between high 14 and low 15. Lots of fun trying to get it landed! 30.5 inches.

How was the sleigh ride? I caught a few of those in one of my private ponds and it took forever to land them on an ultra-lite. Fun, but sketchy at every run.

Last one I got was well over 10 pounds and my son watched me get towed back and forth for almost a half hour. He would just laugh at me as I'd go by one way and then the other.

Meeeeoooowww. Nice cat, John! Sounds like an incredible fight.

Nice catch! Congrats!

Nice!

WTG! Looks like someone is getting out to play.

Good looking fish 🤙.  Mmm…. Deep fry.
