That's a catfish all right! They can get mighty big. Lizard, what's the record?
Really hot and humid here, and no breeze. Bleh. And with TS Bill possibly strengthening it's time to clean all potential flying objects from the house and yard. Don't know what I'll do with the chickens if a 'cane blows in!
The original plan was to cage them in the garage/shop- but it's so full they'll never fit right now.
Dang, now that the potential has arrived I won't be able to think of anything else!
What kind of catfish bait do you use? Back in the day (when I fished), I used an old farmer's concoction that contained Limburger cheese. It worked really well, but man does that stuff stink!
Thanks all. It's a Blue Catfish and I was using Crappie as bait. It hit around 1:00 am while I was sawing logs and was woke by the reel drag singing!! Took me about 10 minutes to pull him in. Was on the upper James River by the shipping docks. The cat was CPR'd (Caught, Photo'd and Released) to fight another day for someone else.
