A shot of the fisherman watching his line at dusk on the great Ohio River.
First bass from the Ohio River.
Here's the fish that got away. This is the largest catfish that I've ever seen come from the river. The head was all that was left from this old fish washed up on the bank. I've heard stories of this size catfish living on the bottom near the Hannibal Dam -- but never proof. I suspect this one would have been at least 4 feet long. Yes, that's a dollar bill laying next to his mouth in the second photo -- his mouth was wider than the dollar bill.
