Im a boat captain on the Mississippi River in South Louisiana and on slow nights i would go tie up to the dock at a grain elevator when the unloading grain from a ship and ill catfish and catch 100 plus pound catfish all night long
Awesome fish! Whenever I think my bait may be too big, I remember there are catfish swimming down there that could fit a human head inside of their mouths!
I remember when a 60lb catfish was a rarity. Today's massive fish of every species is a testament to the best management in the world. And sportfishers created that.
Amazing catch! Can you share where/what brand is the bag you used to safely weight the fish in? I've been after big catfish and gar lately and I desperately need one of those. Thank you!
