With the Saltwater sitting about an hour drive away, I figured I'd wet a hook at the Neuse River around Goldsboro and try for some bruiser cats. We set up right before dark and shortly there after the rains begain, but the bites also started. It rained till we finally left about 11PM, an I mean rained. I bet they got close to 2 inches in that area...it was waterfalling all around us.
Had several big hits and lot a couple other big fish. This is the 2 we finally landed and brought to the cleaning table for some much wanted "catfish nuggets."
The biggest one was 36 inches long and 20 inches diameter. So depending on the fish weight calculator will determine the answer you get. It will be from 16-25 pounds. My batteries are dead in my scales so can't use it.
