Little Willie the catfish

June 28, 2009 09:48 am

After 15 or 20 minutes of reeling and some netting help from a neighbor, this 36-inch, 19-pound Blue Cat was taken from Lake Tansi. The catfish was landed using a 5 ½ light rod, 6 pound test line and A #8 cricket hook. A lady from Peacepipe Bend gave the fish the name. After several minutes of photo shooting, weighing and measuring, Little Willie was set free back into Lake Tansi. We hope that someone else will enjoy catching him, and they, too, will set him free.
