Our last fish today, was the biggest ?. It weighed 17.5-pounds. We had a great day on the water. They filled 2-coolers with Wild Caught Lake Erie Sandusky Bay Channel Catfish by 10:00 A.M.. Of course, all the bigger ones were thrown back. Lake Erieโ€™s Sandusky Bay provides a great nutritional food source for thousands and thousands of Midwest residents of our country. And Iโ€™m proud to provide the fun fishing that provides the table fare.
