Whether it's trophy fish, bucks or taking on the fastest dudes around and winning in style it's good to have some variety... and even better when you experience the success that drives you to reach new limits.
I have decided to put down the $1000 fly fishing outfits, get some chicken livers and check out the fishing opportunities right in my back yard, the mighty Miss. There are some big ol' catfish in there, up to 75 lbs, and hopefully the learning curve isn't too steep. I'll be using the same rods and reels I use to fish saltwater; 10 ft 1 piece carbon rods, 50 lb braided line, and heavy duty conventional reels with 300 yards of line. I hope to have some good stories... Think Riverfront Trail late at night. More later.

too bad about the bruins start man
awesome job at Burnin' Bracae!
They get bigger than 75 lbs. The world record was caught just south of the alton lock and dam right by the clark bridge. It weighed in at 124 lbs. http://www.illinoisgameandfish.com/fishing/catfish-fishing/IL_0605/
