Lake Wallenpaupak, PA Fishing Report

First Time Fishing In A While

Spent the weekend at the lake house in Pennsylvania and decided to do some fishing. It had been a while since I last fished but I wanted to get back into it. I was using borrowed gear and on the first day I caught a small yellow perch and a couple of crappies. Nothing special but it got me interested in fishing again. On the second day I was fishing for an hour or so and getting nothing. When everyone decided to go up to the house for lunch I decided I would hang at the lake and relax. After relaxing I decided I would fish a little bit more. I placed my first cast over near some rocks along the shore and something grabbed it. I didn't know what it was but I could tell it was something big. It put up quite a fight and stayed low in the water so I couldn't see what it was. It took about 8 minutes of battling with it but I finally got him to come up to the surface and I could see what it was. It was a channel catfish about 2 feet long. It put up one hell of a fight but I finally got him up. He weighed about 10 pounds and I gotta say that catching him brought me back into fishing. "I was hooked"
