Monster Cat Part of Fishing on Lower Potomac

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River, Indian Head

My friend wanted to try and catch a monster catfish so we headed out on Sunday afternoon to try. After laboriously catching some nice Shad for bait we set up near Indian Head and put 6 rods out. The tide was running out good and it was not long before one of the rods doubled over. After a 45-minute battle I boated the fish for my friend who was clearly exhausted. It measured 53 inches long with a 33 inch girth. We call these big blue cats �Potomac Tuna�. We also fished Saturday down river near Nanjemoy and caught white perch up to 12inches and tons of channel catfish and small stripers.
