so there are many catfish in my pond, catfish? Catfishes? Doesnt matter. the problem is that these catfish have been living in this pond for 4 years and nobody has caught one.they are eating almost every fish that lives there and thats bad. Are there any baits that catfish absolutely love?

(beware these aren't regular catfish, no no no. These are smart, they've learned that if they relocate to a different spot it will be harder to catch them)

You could use cut up parts of whatever other fish they are used to eating in your pond.

Fresh chicken livers

I get them from a chicken restaurant, they have never been frozen and only 3 days since taken from the chicken.

They hang on a single hook just fine unlike the ones from bait shops and grocery store.

OZ knows what he's talking about. Do you know what kind of catfish they be? Channel cats love chicken liver. Big blues or flatheads love live fish, like bluegills or yellow perch. Me, I would try the livers, easy to come by.
Geechee - are you really? Geechee?
