    Rudely interrupted!

    I was tuning a few CB's last night in my pond when I was rudely interrupted by this sucker!

    Yes I did. I was using a 5'6" pistol grip medium action fiberglass rod. I had to wear it down a good bit before I could get it on the bank to grab.

    Glad I ain't the only one that manages to catch catfish on crankbaits, becoming a habit every time I throw one

    It happens man. The last time I was out I caught two channels at the back of a deep pool.

    good ole catfish. I have caught many on a crankbait. What sucks is right when they hit it, and you feel that weight, for just a couple of seconds you think this is a monster....and then, you see the line twisting and want to throw a grenade in the water.
    What we cannot obtain from intelligence, we can learn from experience.

    The Ohio river catfish will eat a CB, spinnerbait, buzzbait, and soft plastics. It sure does get you excited during a tournament when a 4# catfish smokes a bait.......but then when it starts rolling the disappointment sets in.

    Come get a few Dan before your next catfish tournament!

    The OH always offers something different. My specialty lately has been drum on creature baits lol.
