I caught my personal best last night in the upper Hudson River near Schuylerville, NY. Fishing with chicken livers, 12 lb test, and a medium heavy 6.5 ft rod. Fishing the upstream point of a sunken island that is in about 2 fow dropping to 12 fow. Tons of rain and the water is flowing well and muddy. Hooked him at 11 pm last night, landed at 11:08. Taped out at 34 inches, with a mouth 8.75 inches wide. Didn't have my scale(d*mn it), but I would guess 18-20 lbs. I have taken many in the 10-12 lb range(about 25-28 inches), but this one was a sight to behold
. Couple of photos and back in the drink. Photos are on a disposable camera, so I will post them as soon as it is developed. The catfishing this year has been awesome in the Hudson.
