More Channel catfish (some polywog's)

Catching more catfish (mostly channel cats) but not always taking time to post about them -- and sure not taking time to make more video - especially if they include polywog's/mud cat/yellow bullhead which I do not even count as fish (they are now legal bait in Arkansas - so I may start using them for bait)

Sidebar: Saw a picture on catfish forum where a guy found two fish in one - seems an (about) 1lb channel got on the line and 12 lb flathead came along and ate the channel - the guy had to cut out the channel and it wasn't fit to eat - but the flathead went to the freezer. He has picture of the fish in a fish on catfish forum :)

For example - I got 3 fish last night - all on yoyo's on my fishing pier.

I've started baiting 6 yoyo's now - instead of three - and last night I had 4 catawb worms and 2 magic bait - - I got one small (not a keeper) on catawba worm when I checked yoyo's 45 minutes after putting them out (9:15Pm - 10PM)

After rebaiting (4) yoyo's - I rechecked at 10:30PM and had to rebait the two with magic bait and 2 with catawba/catalpa - then 30 minutes later I looked out (have 5,000,000 watt spot light and could not see 3 of my yoyo's

Well a 4.2 lb channel had taken the magic bait and ran around so much he hung up two of the other yoyo's

When I checked - I also had another small (not keeper) on the other magic bait i.e. 4 catawba worms and 2 magic bait - and I got two catfish - both on magic bait

So I rebaited 3 with magic bait and 3 with catalpa - this AM - most bait was gone (had one catawba worm left)

Bottom line - taking time to make video has gotten old - especially since if you've seen one 4lb channel - you've seen them all :) Also I'm not sure how current I'll keep this blog - people lose interest if I keep catching 4 lb or less

May not post again until I get another above 4 lb

BTW: I never report how many dam turtles I get - and you know I never cuss them and I promise if they are alive - I will not harm them (much :)
