Met up with my buddy Shawn Wright today and it turned out to be a pretty decent day of fishing. I thought it was going to start raining the entire time we was out there but the dark clouds just passed right over us and the wind was kept on howling. Shawn landed a monster catfish that went 30 1/2 inches long and weighed just over 15 pounds. I ended up with 3 bluegill, 2 catfish and a perch.
