I think that I am getting the hang of this. Ha Ha
A few weeks ago a stumbled into catching a 24-inch catfish. One cast, one fish. Nothing else after it since I went home right after I caught it.
The other night, I took my BIL to the same spot, same bait, but different conditions. We had NO luck at all.
I then went to WalMart and bought a real catfish hook setup and used it this morning. The line wasn't in the water for more than three minutes and this larger cat took off with it. The only problem that I see is that the pre-rigged hook is a treble. The cat swallowed it and I had to cut the line. I hope he makes it.
Next time I go out, I'll have a big circle hook in place of the treble and hope that won't hurt the cats. I don't target big cats, but they are fun and pull really, really hard.
