It was February 20th, 2010 when Bill Kunzeman was prefishing for a catfish tournament in Huntsville, Alabama. He was in about 18 feet of water, pitching bait over a 35 foot drop. He was pitching a 1/2 pound and a 1 pound skipjack bait rigged on Lazer Sharp L2022 10/0 and 9/0 hooks. Within 5 minutes, a rod slammed down and he quickly picked it up to the feel of a large catfish! It had taken the bait and began to dart away! A few minutes later, the 40 pound catfish was landed.

Before he could even get the rod re-rigged and back in the water, another rod bent over even stronger than the first! As the drag screamed, Bill picked up the rod and he realized the real fight was on! He knew this fish was even bigger, in the “monster calibur” size. “It pulled so hard I wish I had a fighting belt on,” Bill said. “The fish dove and surfaced many times as I asked God for the fish to stay hooked.”

Before he knew it, Bill had a 68 pound blue catfish in his boat! He removed the Lazer Sharp L2022 hooks from the fish’s mouth and felt an urge of satisfaction. “God and Eagle Claw answered my request of landing the monster!” Bill commented on his enormous catch.

Bill stands with his 68-pound trophy in Huntersville, Alabama.

Thanks to Eagle Claw, the Lazer Sharp hooks did the job and secured Bill’s dream of a trophy catfish! This was a day that Bill will never forget, and he has nothing but good things to say about the Eagle Claw team! Good job Bill!
