I like to use chicken livers when fishing for catfish down in southern Louisiana. I love fried catfish! :)

pork lunchoen meat is meant to be a good bait, a big cube of it

Near me there is a big Pond with one catfish in it I'v heard its between 30-50lp maybe more, and I hooked it twice two days in a row, I didnt even know about it till I told my local tackle shop, I was ony fishing for roach, pearch and bream on maggot on light weight tackle I was quite suprised when I saw my float go down so agresivly, I just thought it was a big pearch, I was even more suprised when I started to reel in and saw a big cat zooming just under the suface, the water was quite clear and could see the botem, I was ony fishing a few foot out and about 5ft deep, and oviously the fish snaped my 6lp line. The next day I went back to the same place thinking it would not happen again, I mean whats the chances one catfish having the run of a big pond and being in that same swim, all day I had been catching roach, pearch and skimer bream, Last cast of the day and I hooked into that bloody catfish again.

I have thought about geting some heavyer gear and trying for it, but my strongest rod has only got a 2.5 and 3/4 test, the owner of the tackle shop reckons id get it in with it, but I have douts, It was huge.

Bottem line is I hooked it twice on maggot.
