Fish of the Week: Backyard catfish

Caught this in my backyard last night on punchbait. 13 lb channel cat, extra fat! The plan was to hand it off to my 4 or 7 year old daughter after I set the hook out of the rod holder. Once I set the hook the fish charged hard towards me on the bank so wasnt sure how large it was. I reeled in very quickly to catch up to the fish, which I did about 5 feet from the bank when he splashed and headed back out peeling drag. I had to tell the girls this one was for dad! Had a heck of a time getting him up the bank, the fireline cut into my fingers real good as I couldnt horse him up with just the rod. Weighed him at 13lbs and released for another future battle
