4.5lb King Channel on Magic Bait (again)

I should change my name to 4.5lb John when I use magic bait. This 4.5lb Channel came off the trotline - using chicken blood / chicken liver magic bait.

I also got two small (1 lb) channel on the 4 yoyo's I put on my fishing pier (used a mix of beef blood magic bait and the chicken blood magic bait e.g. I put one cube of beef blood with one cube of chicken blood bait - mainly cause I'm running out of the chicken blood / chicken liver magic bait

On last trip to Wal Mart - they only had 4 packages of chicken flavor and the local bait shop didn't have any - this 'flavor' is hard to find at times (must work for others also :)

Previous night I used chicken livers / magic bait combination i.e. I put a piece of chicken liver on the hook and then a cube of magic bait to help hold the liver on the hook - this should work but sad to say the turtles really like this combination - and they get the bait before the poor hungry catfish has a chance

Oh I almost forgot - I got about a 7-8 pound soft shell turtle on the trotline - but he was already dead and I was afraid it would be spoiled so I didn't keep it. (yep I should be running line (rebaiting) ever couple hours but then I'd get too many fish to clean e.g. feeding turtles by baiting early has it's rewards - you don't have to clean as many fish :)
