I've lived on this earth for more than 76 years, and that's a new one on me. 
Is that big boys or cherry??

My garden it beside the water and my husband throws all the half rotten, bird pecked ones in all summer. I just get a ripe mid sized tomato put my hook through the top of the middle, near the stem and barely sticking out one side. Works every time and they are already use to being fed in the spot beside the garden. Catfish love ripe tomatoes, I usually try to find one that's a little rotten or busted open on the bottom half.

I have used bacon that was going bad to much success for catfish. Now.. tomatoes...and "belly full of weeds".... damned if those cats don't have the same taste as I do.... cravings for a BLT ! Wonder if a little mayo spread around...... Learnin' something new, daily !

Fixorfish I second that a friends nephew showed him a big bass he caught he was afraid his Mama would be mad. He had caught the 8# bass on a pork chop he had taken from the freezer. Fishing is like eating I'll try any thing at least once (well almost anything)

Just put salt on it and they will eat anything somehow they can feel the salt in the water also salted pork fat back works great for crawfish and any shellfish traps. Stays on the hook a lot better than chicken livers. Keep on fishing.
