Nice catch, I've only done that a couple times.
A friend introduced me to actually trolling for Catfish with crankbaits though. I couldn't believe it, but in a small lake with riprap, we trolled back and forth 3-4 times with med-deep crankbaits and had 4 Catfish that size in less than 20 min.
Wow! That’s crazy!!!
Im going to have to try this and report back.
Thank you!!!
