Catfish on a fly...really?

Playing around with a my Rockfish fly rod and with heavy sinking line....using my heaviest fly for practice....Schultzy's S4 Sculpin... really didn't mean to catch anything...and on the second cast.....

I'm guessing its about 10lb's....checkout that belly!!!

Great fight on a fly rod...just completely unexpected....oh...another item on the bucket list checked...catfish caught on a fly.

Regards,

Fishfry

I was thinking the same thing . . . must have been something to feel him on a fly rod.

@drxfish...you can sorta see the fly wadded up below the belly of the catfish...between the rod and the lowest point of the fish's belly...that olive green wad...here is a better picture.

Wow! That must have been quite a fight. Has Walter gotten any bigger?


Together we'll fight the long defeat.

That might be Walter's cousin. We had one go 14 lbs a couple of years back....on a Barbie Doll pole!
