That seems bigger than what I would think was in there.
Top pic is 41 and bottom pic we estimate 70-75. My scale tops out at fifty. She was a hefty bitch

Shiners? If you’re talking bait, I’m using like a 2 inch chunk of eel.

Good lord man. I’ve spent 3,000+ hours catfishing in my life, covered in chicken liver juice / dead shad funk & never once came close to ones that big. Well done, those are some monsters!

Right! I say we have ole @imstinky show us where this honey hole is! I think I have a pretty good idea, as I used to fish over there as a kid, but it would be cool to have a local guide. What say you stinky?

Go to your local bait shop, and get live eel. Cut them in 2in “tubes”. I started out with livers, used fresh and frozen shad, freshly caught live bluegill, but the only thing I use now is those eel chunks. The skin is so tough, it’s hard to get a hook in it, but it’s also hard to get a hook out of it. You will never be sitting there with a naked hook ever again. I sometimes even use the same hunk of eel all night long and catch multiple fish on it. It’s also still squirms after it’s been cut up, so it’s like it’s live and dead bait at the same time.
I’m down. Now is the perfect time weather wise. I’m sure even if we get skunked, we’ll have a good smoke sesh
