Trophy Blue Catfishing
Part

My earliest memories
of catfishing are with my father. He would carry me out into the river where we
fished for channel cats from a big flat rock. Some days we would stay longer, to
avoid stumbling across rocks after dark we’d just fish from the boat launch. Hot
nights, mosquitoes, and the hiss of his propane lantern, are all great memories.
We never really caught anything that big, but it sure got me interested in
fishing.
Things have changed a great deal since then; I grew up and moved a few states
away. Now I have my own boat, thus nights fishing from shore are long gone. Also
gone is the satisfaction of catching small fish. I’m now part of a growing
number of catfisherman that get serious when the boat touches the water, and our
goal are trophy-sized catfish.
