I received an email from Tom Hamilton with a photo of a nice pond cat that was caught recently. Check out the photo of this big fish and what Tom had to say...
Don, I witnessed this young man catch this fish back on the 17th. I forget what he said he was using for bait, but it wasn't worms! He was fishing off the bottom using a bobber. His name is Wesley Swisher - he claims he caught one bigger the night before and that is why he was back on the 17th.
Nice young man and seems like he loves to fish. The fish was 7 1/2 pounds and 27 1/4 inches long.
