catfish?

anyone from down south catch some huge catfish? did a search, surprised not a thread to this but saw a thread to carp. figured i show some of mine

 

Guess ppl aren't into catching cats

 

NICE...

 

nice cats! i havent gotten any yet this year havent been able to make it out there. but when i do ill post up some pics

 

Don't catch any quite that big, but we've been catchin a bunch down at Lake Calaveras. What are you using for bait?

 

things that i've used before
-corn, like the kernels in a can, just load up a few on a hook
-chicken gizzards, chicken hearts, chicken livers in a nylon sack kinda thing
-oatmeal and peanut butter mash

i find the easiest to use is the chicken hearts just cus it's easier to hook

back story to those pics, haha they were caught in a small pond in our neighborhood, crazy eh

 

I do quite a bit of catfishin more north up in St. Louis, MO. Been catchin a few on dough bait and chicken liver lately in the Meramac river.

 

i admit catfish fishing is just a waiting game, i do like the constant action of what you said the bass/crappie but when you're lazy sometimes and just put out a pole and anchor it and wait, catfish do put up a great fight

 

Cat fishing is beer drinking time!

 

yes it is

 

Just joined this site and saw your catfish, nice ones. I enjoy catfishing and do real good. like to use liver and dip bait, got a freezer full and going out again before hunting season starts.

 

Louisiana style!
