RE: 4-year-old catches his first channel catfish - Potomac River Dam 5

in #fishing7 years ago

In my book those are some great sized catfish! My six year old son is particularly interested in doing some catfishing again. He caught a 10-incher a while back and has never forgotten it. We may just have to give it a try. It looks like you were using chicken liver?

Sort:  

Yes, we were using chicken liver. However, if I wanted to keep the smaller ones off my line and hold out for a big one, I'd use cut bluegill. In my experience, the larger ones favor cut bait over chicken liver. At all the rivers I fish, it is hard to catch one more than 25 inches long on chicken liver.
