Another big catfish

Last weekend I drove up to my parent's to go fishing with my brother-in-law. Since I did not get there until late on Saturday we only got a couple hours of fishing. We did not catch anything on Saturday, but Sunday was a different story. On my first cast I hooked a nice size catfish (see below). I was using light tackle this time; 6'6" Shimano rod and Shimano open face reel with 6 lb line. I was fishing with my favorite fresh water live bait, night crawlers. It took some time to get this one in. Every time we would get him close to bank him would take off, taking 20-25 feet of drag.
After we got the fish out of the water it weighed in a little over 8lbs. I also caught 5 small (1/2 - 1 pound) catfish that day, but I threw all those back. I gave the big catfish to my brother-in-law, and he got 2 really nice flillets.
