I caught this 24 inch 5.16 pound channel catfish on the Fox River in Northern Illinois. It was quite the battle but I finally got him in, I also got another 1 that was 21 inches and lost 2 including one that tangled himself in my anchor. It was a fun day fishing and I let both fish go. I usually dont keep fish that big.
