My dad and I are still working out the best way to land these monsters. We have lost so many of them, probably just as many as we've caught! My dad thinks it is best to be gentle on the rod with them and try not to piss them off, lol.

Use cut up white bass, or panfish, they love them. Check out my next post! I'm making it right now. I caught an 11 pound 37 inch fish!!!
Thanks for the tip. My dad has got some secret recipes up his sleeve, you know what those oldies are like. Looking forward to seeing your latest catch.
Big circle hooks help a lot too with bigger catfish. At a certain point in size of fish, treble hooks don't set as good as the bigger circle hooks
Think we have gotten down to size 2 hooks for the big cats. They get to about 90lbs in weight so it's hard to stop them snapping the line.
