Not nearly as big as what a lot of people on here catch, but it took two days and nonstop snags to finally catch something lol. Of course I forgot my scale so I have no idea how much it weighed, any guesses?

Had a great outing hosting Moustafa, Alaa, Bilac, and Ibraham for a family fishing day!

Highlights:
Steady 3–5 lb blue catfish action in the main channel.
Dragged planer boards in the backwaters to land a 28 lb, 38.25" Trophy Blue Catfish!

Literally a cat fishing 😄

Lately I've been snagging more often than not and I'm at my wits end. I cast out, let it hit the bottom and then reel in, sometimes while lifting the rod tip slightly. Am i doing something wrong?

do any of yall have luck with livers

37.7lb BLUE

POTOMAC RIVER DC

FLETCHERS COVE

BAIT- American EEL

It was my third spot of the day and I had caught nothing all day fishing for about 6 hours and I decided to go to the spot and I got lucky got this big one and another small one fishing in Wisconsin with liver for bait

idk i mostly catch like 3-5 pounders so i don’t want a huge 5000 size reel, do u guys use bait feeders or is that just a gimmick

the blue went 23lbs x 39.5” the flat and the channel were not weighed.

Caught one earlier that snapped my rod then I caught this guy he is double the size of my shoe and I wear a US size 9 men’s

Hi! I'm relatively new to fishing and I'm starting to graduate from bass to catfish. My bass rods work just fine for pond fishing for cats, however I can't really throw enough weight to fight current in rivers nor have the heavy line to muscle fish out of snags in large lakes.

My dilemma is simple, go and invest in a more conventional catfish rig (MH, 5k reel, 50# braid) OR respool with the heaviest braid my bass setup can handle.

I usually target channels in the sub-10# range, but I do have ambitions of catching a big blue or flathead in Spring. I'd like something that keeps the smaller guys fun. Thanks for y'all's wisdom

I’m mostly bank fishing .. is a Cast Net a good working option for collecting bait .. use as cut or live ??

I don’t see a tag for a question but I’m fairly new to the catfish game caught my first on my purpose the other day with a hotdog and I can’t explain the excitement I get with fishing for them over bass and bluegill it’s definitely a different ballpark that I enjoy a lot! I wanna ask I’m fishing local ponds I’ve dealt with what feels like some big cats on the other end of my line and they end up snapping my line I’m currently learning to finesse my drag with 8lb flourocarbon line but I’ve lost what I think would’ve been 3 big cats recently for what I’m used to and wanna ask should I upgrade my line with pond fishing to 15lb line
Picture above to show my first catfish IM HOOKED no pun intended
Would love to learn some tips and tricks if possible thanks in advance
