This one was downright trained on special ops river edition. At one point I thought he was catching me. All in all I got the best of him. #catchking #CatFishQueen

This one was a fighter. She kept pulling and pulling with no let up. As soon as she paused I know I had to hurry up and get her to the bank. The thrill of the catch was exhilarating. She had fun at her photo shoot. #CatFishQueen #catchking
