Awesome catch. Pound for pound those are some of the hardest fighting and fun fish to catch.
Only time I get to go after them is if I visit family in Wisconsin.

World record carp caught by bowfisher
It’s going to take a lot of wall to display a fish like this.
Holy shit. That’s a big ass carp.

Was that some weird species of catfish? Kind of the same body as a Wells catfish. Pretty crazy though.

That is what I was thinking. I saw a thing awhile back on either Discovery Science or animal planet. It went into how those Wels cats had adjusted to eating birds that are on/near water

Me and a buddy did a three day float down the Clark Fork in Montana. I always throw spinners and have great success. This trip I got into a really nice sized pike. Was a great fight on my ultra light tackle, had to let him wear himself out before trying to bring him in. Caught a few nice cutthroats as well. Beautiful country, I fucking love Montana.

Man hell of a fish. I'm curious what kayak are you using looks, like maybe a pedal drive Hobie of some sort?
Anyways that fish probably equals more than the weight of the fish I've caught in this past spring, things have been pretty slow but right on. Did you keep it or did you pitch it back?

Yes sir, Hobie Outback. I don't keep catfish that big, those are breeders, not eaters. I'm taking it down to Padre for a four day weekend tomorrow. If the winds aren't too bad I want to go offshore a bit to some of the old drilling platforms. I have to be prepared to handle a 6' shark from it if I do that. I'm a little trepidatious but should be hella fun.

Yeah I think pelican has pedal drive versions of it, and a lot of other newer companies. I still don't have a pedal drive on either of my boats, but I think NuCanoe has a retro fit pedal system that I can slap on my frontier 12, but I think they're charging like a grand. Cheaper for me just to get a tag and throw a trolling motor on the back transom.

don't you have one of the older models?- 1

I got the first Hobie Pro Angler out of the mold, at least that's what the Hobie rep said at Austin Canoe and Kayak and you really never saw any photos of it online yet. They had one they had just unloaded and all the employees were looking at it. Guy said there was something on it he could tell cause they used it for promotion photos and never took it off. I was there to buy an Outback and liked the rod holders and bait holder. Works well for what I use it for. Long days on lakes bass fishing. At the time I lived minutes from the largest lake in TX and would fish all day on days I didn't feel like taking the boat.
It's heavy but I just backed the truck up on a dirt road that went into the lake and pulled it off the truck straight into the water.
