In my younger days, I would rig a tube worm Texas Style (weedlesss) and fill the tube with catfish paste. I would drift fish it out of my electric powered Super Perow (kyack). Tho I was unable to land any huge cats, the ride was on every time I had a good hookset! The biguns showed me how they got old and big by dragging me to a stump they could wrap around and pull off! Sure thought some were going to get the little boat planed out getting there!
