Great Night Fishing

14 lb Channel on cut creek chub under a Katbobber.



Me: Shelby Thad and I hit the water last night. It was a little chilly but really beautiful. I ended up with 3 channels 7, 10 and 14 pounds and last I heard Thad had a 6 lber. I also heard after I left Shelby got a new pb flat. ON CIRCLE HOOKS NO LESS LMAO! I am sure when he crawls out of bed he will have pics and a story up.

Shelby's new pb flat 39 lbs.

   Shelby: Well as Matt stated earlier We hit the water last night about 8:30pm or so with all the rain it was bound to be a good night so we baited up and started fishing about 8:30 or so Matt had a fish the 10lb channel about 9:30 matt caught a 7lber or so (No Pic) then about quarter to midnight Matt caught a 14lb channel that fought like a 20lber man them channel can be tough.

Then about 30mins or so later after the moon went down Thad shows up so I moved my bottom pole over by where Matt is fshing to make room for Thad.

We had a few bites but not much happening like the channels left because the flats moved in or something. About 2:45am or so Thad gets a 6lb Channel (No Pic) and then about 3:00am or so I get a 12lb flat so if was a successful trip we got what we were after. I was happy I baited my Circle hook (Thats for you Ray Buncle) with about a 4" live bluegill and thru him back out I was debating on moving him back were the other flat was caught but never did as it went a little farther to the right then before. So I went and sat back down in the chair. Then about 4:45 in the morning I got up to run to my pole and my boots are covered in mud and I slip and fall and have to crawl to my pole Thad is asking if I am ok and all I am worried about is how big this flat is because the pole is bent over almost touching the water and it was almost straight up an down with the drag backed off a little and the clicker on so he had to be big to be ripping drag and the clicker screaming. I fought him for a little bit don't know how long maybe 10-15mins he was swimming up in the weed beds. Thad finnally got the grips on him and he was saying he is 40lbs I was like he looks big but I don't know I knew he was a New Pb.




12 lb Flat.



39 lb flat



We got him on the scale and he read 39lbs 4ozs so in exactly a week I got two PB flat what else could you ask for.

Thank to Matt and Thad for going fishing I had alot of fun and we need to do it again soon before the bite turns for the winter.

Thanks for coming out guys!  I had a blast!  Congrats on the pb Shelby and thanks for the story and pics!
