    Camped at The Point campground. really crowded. We caught a lot of bluegill and green sunfish for flathead cat bait at night. While fishing with my 5/6 weight fly rod for sunfish I hooked a 6 pound channel cat. WOW! What a great fight on that rod. Later in the night I hooked what had to be a BIG flathead on my channel cat rig, a medium-heavy rod with a BPS Megacast MCM2000 reel with 175 yards of 17 pound test line. I couldn't turn the fish or stop it. After 60 to90 seconds it wrapped the line around a snag and I lost it. Caught a yellow bullhead about 10 to 12 inches and a channel cat the same size as well. No bass this trip. Had fun with those two larger cats though.

    That cat took about 10 minutes to boat on that light rod. Made losing the big one less painful!
