Larry,

I loved the amount of pressure you put on that monster catfish. Exactly what reel and model rod did you use?

Love your shows.

Thanks in Advance,

Hi R,
I was using a Trevala jigging rod (medium light) and a Torsa reel in either a 20 or 30 size. I filled it only half full to double my effective drag, and loaded it with 130# Sufix mono.
I think I was most likely the weakest link in the chain!
best,
L
