Blue Catfish from the Patuxent

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Patuxent River - White's Landing

I caught an 18lb Catfish on June 6th during our annual camping trip. I was using a Penn rod & real combo (medium-heavy/6000) with 25 lb monofilament line, 3oz weights, and a 6/0 circle hook. I had a heck of a time bringing him in, but it was totally worth it!
