50 pound kayak catfish!

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Potomac River, Flethchers Cove

Some buddies and I went kayaking in the Potomac (near Fletchers Cove) for big blue catfish. We were drifting down current using cut bonito in about 50-60 ft of water. It was a relatively slow day but I eventually got a massive bite which I initially thought was a snag. Sure enough, the fish started running and peeling drag! After some commotion, I was able to land this HOG of a catfish. It maxed out my scale at 50 lb and was 47 inches long!
