This week's Archers Alley "Catch of the Week" comes to us from 12-year old Carson Simpson, of Galesburg!

From Carson's dad, Tony: "First time at Powerton this past Saturday and with a little bit of coaching and loose drag this is what my youngest managed to reel in off the bank with a 6'6" medium rod 20lbs line in about 20 minutes or so. Saying he was excited is an understatement! Not only is it his pb by a long shot but he's also beaten my pb by a long shot and he won't stop rubbing it in!"

It's estimated Carson's new PB channel cat weighed in between 15 & 20 pounds!!! 

Tony & Carson will join us this weekend to tell the story of a memorable first trip to Powerton!

This week's Archers Alley "Catch of the Week" comes to us from Dan Lange, of Warrensburg!

From Dan:  "If anyone is wondering how well the new Hotspots Megaeye 10 rods hold up to big fish I can personally say they will catch and land a 35 lbs. flathead catfish!

I was out messing around in some water I haven't fished in a while when my bobber went down so fast I could hear it.

I set the hook and for a second I thought a big crappie had hung me in the brush pile. Then the drag started screaming as the fish finally figured out it was hooked. An hour later and an assist from another boat I finally landed this brute!  Definitely a new PB for catfish and a catch I won't forget anytime soon!"

Dan, who's a regular guest talking crappie with Tight Lines Guide Service, will join us this weekend to tell us all about his new P-B flathead!
