4 Lb Channel Catfish - Secret-7

I've been mixing Secret-7 with other bait partly because I was running low - so Monday I ordered a case of 64 oz (about 28 lbs) - then Monday afternoon I found out that a bait shop (Hacket Jack's) in NLR now is a local dealer (but they were already sold out so it's good I ordered plenty :)

I now have plenty of Secret-7 - so if it comes off the hook easy - I have plenty to re-bait

I went out this AM - just in case it was raining by evening. I was catching so many little ones I lost count - so when the cork started floating (not really going under very far) - I figured it was another little one - and waited then set hook and then I jumped up and said ' Oh My God' - cause the 4 lb Channel was on my crappie / spinning rod n reel which has 4 lb test line. I had a blast playing this mean boy - and was glad when I managed to land it (so I decided to make a video despite fact it was only 1 fish)

BTW: During both fishing trips I must have boated 4 dozen small catfish - I was constantly busy - bring in fish or re-baiting after they stole the bait but it was fun at first (then frustrating that most were little catfish - 1/2 to 1 Lb e.g. too little for me to keep / clean (which is good :) :)

On the 4 lb catfish was during the first hour - that's one reason I fished more hours today than normal e.g. went out twice in one day hoping to find another 4 lb to make my heart race fast again :) :)

BTW: Still not planning on making so many video but this fish was so much fun I had to make a video

BTW: I didn't have to clean this one - I gave it to a neighbor that is planning a fish fry for his Mother-In-Law that is moving next door to him (he needs to get on her good side so he's going to fix her up with a Welcome Fish Fry :) :)
