For 11 years, I've been fishing the pond in my back yard and never once caught a Catfish. I've heard rumors that we have Catfish in the pond but never caught one and never heard anyone else catch one...until today.
I caught myself a 4-5 pound Catfish on 6 pound test using hotdog on the bottom. It wore on my little reel I use out there because the biggest thing I've ever caught was a 2 pound Largemouth Bass and Bluegill bigger than my hand. I catch Bluegill out of this pond on a number 3 spinner, that's how big they are.
Anyway, it took about 5 minutes to get it to the bank, I had to take it easy as to not snap my line as it got close and started to thrash.
I'm now going to have to go down to Bass Pro or Dunhams and get me a better reel.
As for the Catfish? I think someone released him into our pond.
It was fun though and I'm going to have to stock our pond with Catfish now.
