- Catch Story: I was fishing on the corner of a closing dam using a live bullhead for bait when I thought something snagged my line. As I was reeling it in, it only started to fight when it got close to the boat. After about 5 minutes of getting the fish up to the boat and it running back down, Chris finally got it in the net. It is currently the biggest fish I have ever caught.
