Caught a 20” catfish today. First catfish ever and caught him trolling a muddy river with a yellow spinner bait. It was the first time I had to use my net since I bought it. He bent the hell out of my spinner bait. Gave a good fight.

Oh, that is a nice one, think of how many you would have caught if you had been using something that they like.

1st cat? Where you fishing Blackbart? Thought they were everywhere back home. I used to fish up at Conowingo, plenty of kitties up there.

Great catch, I of all my days fishing never caught a catfish with spinner / jig. That is crazy , how about any one else. Thanks for the pic and story.

I was trolling for bass. I’ve been catching a few on spinner baits. My right arm is sore from casting so I decided to try trolling. It’s worked three times for bass and now for a catfish.
