Little Angler, Big Fish

I had Emilio and his son Cameron on the boat today catfishing at Lake Norman, NC. Multiple species were caught, but blue cats were the special today. Trip was capped off with a 42 pound bruiser. The big male was a real fighter, and it took some team work between Dad and Cameron to get the fish in the boat. Just about every other fish Cameron reeled in solo, although several were heavy enough he had to have some help holding them up for the photos. Glorious warm spring day on Lake Norman!
