Yes take pictures and send them to a friend that knows where you are and to check on you every once in awhile by texting. A large dog makes a good friend and scares most bad people. Also conceal carry is good to have wherever you may be.

I'm in Iowa and this year has not been good. First tons of rain, flooding and swelled lakes. Then extreme heat. Now it cooling down and getting a few. I caught a nice long pike but it had no fight and looked like it had been starving it was so thin. Some say all of the rain caused runoff of chemicals from farming to get in the water and make the fish sick.

These are what I would take. The worm snagless is my favorite.

On the other side of it if I think a fish is going to die I take and eat it even if it is a little small. It has to be legal though. I hate to kill for no reason.

I have 2"x8" stickers for anyone who wants one, that read....."Catch and Release Only....is simply.... RATIONALIZED WILDLIFE HARRASSMENT !
PM me for details on how to get one.
As for guy who started this thread.....why are you fishing "for fun.... don't want to keep any" ? Sorry, dude. Glad you found time with your daughter. Twice as glad you are teaching her to fish.....now teach her about ethical sportsmanship and RESPECT for the other species that make up this planet.
Barbless circle hooks are just barely acceptable as an attempt at justification for the "sport" of catch and release. I am quite aware that my views on c&r are considered rather harsh in many circles. So be it,.....broad shoulders and thick skin here,.... bring it on if you must. To try to refute my premise and convince me otherwise, is definitely a fool's errand, but, hey... your choice.
Want to give your daughter a catching experience ? Target something like perch or bluegill, rather than catfish.......and keep them, teach her to kill and clean 'em. Teach her to cook them and appreciate her contribution to the family diet. Teach her THE ENTIRE PROCESS,... PLEASE. Then, and only then, will true sportsmanship be instilled in her, ...likely for life. And you'll be proud you added that link to the chain that connects us (including fish !) ALL !
I am so with you on that one, blackjack. br I... (show quote)


I hear you loud and clear. If your gonna fish then eat them or leave them alone. You only train them not to bite again for awhile. I have a wonderful bass lake near me and the guys get pissed because I keep them. They gotta be 16 inches . I kept a 21 incher and they went crazy. I find when they get over 19 they don't taste as good to me.

Catfish bait. looks like shiners common minnow varieties and shrimp. Your neighbor must use a cast net or sein for them and eats what is caught. I don't eat bait!

Some are private owned ponds and properties. Others have 12 hrs footage before getting a fish and actually using the footage. A good friend of mine had the opportunity to fish with Bill Dance pro fisherman years ago.
He told my friend they sometimes have to film for a week just to make one show at a single location. Just pay attention and you will notice the sun changes position in each frame and sometimes even the weather. My friend is an exceptionally good fisherman. He out fished Bill Dance so very much that he would not allow it on the air. lol

Watch videos on youtube how to spool braided line. or find a good sporting store or bait shop that will do it for you.

I hook them just under the fin on their back or through the tail. You don't kill them that way. Just a crappie hook works fine with a splitshot and a float.
