The Big Takedown! (Double Monster Blue Catfish)

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! Those BIG CATFISH TAKEDOWNS don't come often for me living in Kansas, but when they do, I’m always ready to battle some big catfish! On this beautiful spring afternoon I waiting on just such a bite, then WHAM!!! My rod bent over and I just knew there was a MONSTER CATFISH on the other end of my line! A lot of different things could’ve went wrong, but I was fortunate enough to land this trophy blue catfish. It also happened to be the biggest catfish I’ve ever caught in my lifetime, so far lol. I caught it all on camera, so kick back and enjoy reliving this unforgettable day at the lake with me!
THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!
