flathead 6lb + 2.6 lb channel catfish

Summary: 5 catfish in last 3 nights - but only two to clean

Baited trotline last night first time a while because of high water (water falling now) - used bream / shad / magic bait (2 hooks) - the 2 lb 10 oz channel catfish was on the magic bait.

The 6 lb 5oz flathead catfish was on bream on yoyo on my fishing pier - where I'm catching more fish that on trotline - probably cause I chum for shinners / bream / minnows with presoaked dog food i.e. plenty of bait fish aroung my fishing pier and the brush pile beside my pier

I don't expect to catch a lot of fish in this shallow water or on my trotline which is in front of my house so I can get to it easy - my neighbors all catch more fish by going to deep water / channel near bridge - but I don't leave home and catch more than enough :) (especially since I don't like to clean them and don't have enough people close that will clean them right away (I don't like to let the lay around - they might die / spoil - so I either see that they get cleaned in short time or let them go.
