- Catch Story: We were trolling with a Flicker shad, first 15 minutes out on the lake, when the reel went off. We have 4 girls, so we have to take turns when the reels go off. It was Billie's turn, her mom helped hold the pole because it was already pulling so hard. Billie reeled for over 5 minutes, it kept taking more line, and hse kept reeling. Her dad waited patiently with the net and finally we saw it at the surface, that it was a big catfish. Billie kept the pole up long enough for her dad to net the fish! Biggest fish Billie has ever caught, it was a great catch!
