Snake River Channel Catfish - Light Tackle

This was my first Snake River channel cat. 5' Ugly Stik Lite with 6 pound monofilament, a size 4 hook with a small chunk of nightcrawler. i had been catching smallmouth and bluegill at granite point near Pullman, WA. this cat caught me off guard, it weighed exactly 6 lbs and was 26 inches long. The whole video was a guessing game of what was on the other end of my line, for some reason catfish didn't register until he came into view. Yes I know it's a channel cat, I thought it might have been a blue catfish until I got a better look at it.

was this the snake river in michigan?

[jazzfolkrocker]

@iDoWutiWant1 no, it's the Snake in Washington that feeds into the Columbia River. Happy fishing though!

A steel head would have been jumping unless tail hooked and would have wore out fast! nice channel cat!
