i was out on badin this morning blue sky, clear water, 5 mph winds big cold front approaching.. i started off fishing deep rip rap with an x rap and a deep rouge catching 2 short fish. second place was a deep tree and shale area caught a single keeper fish off a mini point. moved to a favored deep tree area xrap and fluke knocking out 2 keepers and a single short fish. ran to a major creek with a major stump field. rigged the fluke with a 3/16 bullet and 1 finishing nail-deep stumps- using the deep rouge thumping stumps in the 15 foot + area with the rouge i had a massive strike but no hook up.. i quickly cranked in and chunked the fluke to the same location. i poped the fluke once and a fish loaded up big time. after a 10 minute fight covering several differant sturture types. i landed a 12 pound blue catfish.

after this the cold front rolled in and the bass just stopped biting .

i was rigging my xheavy 7'6'' fenwick hmx rod with 20 pound calcutta ultra braid a 6/0 gamakatsu super braid hook in a 6" zoom super fluke- pearl-the x rap and rouge were caught on the same set up 12 pound ande and a coast lock swivel on a 6 foot fenwick hmg pool cue..

Funny looking Bass man LOL. I bet it was a heck of a fight, cats can plain old wear you and your equipment out.

Nice fish. If they fight like channel cats, you must have had yourself a lot of fun with that one.

knew how to catch catfish? its easy, go to the grocery store, buy some chicken liver, wait till night after dark, put on a hook cast out on the bottom and wait. sometimes chicken liver doesn't want to stay on the hook and for that I'd suggest wrapping it in panty hose and hooking it that way, much easier to keep on the hook.
