hey guys! went fishing out on the sac river today, it was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for some angling! got there around 6 am, the water was nice and clear. i was using my new 6'6" medium rod with some 10 lb test line and a simple worm rigβ€”classic but effective! ended up catching 5 decent sized catfish, the biggest was around 6 lbs, which totally made my day. <br /> <br /> they were biting pretty good until the sun really came out around noon, then it slowed down a bit but still worth it. also, saw a couple of huge turtles sunbathing on the bank which was kind of cool! gonna head back next week, wish me luck!
