Someone was talking about the size of catfish and not sure he believed me about the size. The In-fisherman Volume 44 Dec./Jan/Feb 2020 issue has an article on the size of Blue Catfish records. A 15 yr old caught a 117 lb.8oz. at Lake Gaston. The current world record 141.12oz. and this man is predicting one around 150lbs to be caught before long. Check the article out. Gives some good advice on all species.
yep those blues can and do run big. but you can't catch them just anywhere. seems to me they have a pretty narrow range of distribution. no?
Go to the Dam side of any lake that has water going through the dam. Fish there with Deep Sea rods and reels. There have been Cats by the dams with the eyes over 6 feet apart. That was from some divers that went down to check the over flow gates. They came right back up saying that there were fish down there that the eyes were farther across than they were long. The divers would not go back down.
The Catfish just lay there and let the current bring the food to them.
Maybe it was a big catfish that ate Jonah!

Now that has a lot of meals on it.

If someone wanted to know what eggs to use for fishing, when i was a youngster i would catch almost anything that swam nearby on those salmon eggs in a glass jar. I believe the scent and oils were the main attraction.Mikes?
