Yer Funny...

But actually, people used to kid me about hiding my catfishing, while trying
to look like I was bass fishing. Bob Rickard even nicknamed me Catfish
Charlie! I've had lots of catfish eat my bass baits...

Hi all,

Went down to the little lake next to my home Sat to wet a line.

Threw a white spinnerbait a few times and decided to fish a small inlet
I
had not fished before.

I threw once and about 10 feet from shore...WHAM!...almost lost my rod.
No
jump, durn, must be a cat...sure enuf, about 10 minutes later a 26"
flathead
cat emerged. Reached dowm w/ needlenose pliers and quickly lifted
him/her
out to show to the kids. Must have weighed 10 or 12 lbs...had 12 lb test
mono on. Well, after asking/joking w/ the kids to see if they wanted it
in
their pool or no it went back to the lake where it sat still for almost
5
minutes recovering, and then splashed off.

Question: Do any of you guys have cats that slam your baits on ocassion?

This is the 7th or 8th I have caught in the last 3 years while bass
fishing
with artificials.
