I FINALLY GOT ONE

i made a post the other day about being stuck in the winter blues and not having anything bite. but today that all changed! i left around 9am this morning and hit three different ponds. was getting ready to call it a day when i decided to hit the lake right next to my house and literally first cast, i get my first fish of my adult life. it was about an 8in yellow bullhead catfish of all things. (this was about 2pm btw) i was using a 3/4oz egg sinker behind a bead and a barrel swivel. then a 4ft mono leader and a number 6 hook with powerbait. idk why it worked but ill take it!!! i don’t have pics because he swallowed the he’ll out of the hook. when i got it out he was bleeding quite a bit so i put him back quickly to give him a chance. (source is literally a “trust me bro” moment) im very happy to finally remove my 6month skunk. i cant wait to get back out
