Keeper Striper, 28' Catfish, and Bowfin
Message:
Fished the Connecticut River last night in the Hartford area and did pretty well. First i got a 28' Catfish [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/joest2003/media/20130522_195423_zps0701ae3d.jpg.html][img:9e6ec45223]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y439/joest2003/20130522_195423_zps0701ae3d.jpg[/img:9e6ec45223][/URL] Then about a hour later a 30 inch Striper [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/joest2003/media/20130522_211331_zps6aa2c894.jpg.html][img:9e6ec45223]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y439/joest2003/20130522_211331_zps6aa2c894.jpg[/img:9e6ec45223][/URL] and then when i was getting read to leave i hooked into this beast [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/joest2003/media/20130522_221244_zpsff44d026.jpg.html][img:9e6ec45223]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y439/joest2003/20130522_221244_zpsff44d026.jpg[/img:9e6ec45223][/URL] [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/joest2003/media/Screenshot_2013-05-23-00-51-20_zps17fdb377.png.html][img:9e6ec45223]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y439/joest2003/Screenshot_2013-05-23-00-51-20_zps17fdb377.png[/img:9e6ec45223][/URL] my First Bowfin, Ive never seen such an aggressive fish before. He must have been snapped off someones line because he had a hook down his throat and a leader sticking out of his mouth but still took a chunk that was about 1/4th his own size. I took my hook out and cut the leader as low as i could an released him.
