Great catches. Would you mind telling some basics of how you fish for them and what bait you typically use?

I usually slide on a 1/8 oz egg sinker on my main line then tie on a small barrel swivel then a 18" leader and then tie on a #4 wire hook so it will pull straight if i get hung on stumps. Red wigglers seem to do the best for me.

It sounds like you're using a Carolina Rig or the classic bottom rig for catfishing, just using much smaller tackle. I'm going to try this as I've always straightlined with a simple split shot and #2 or #4 long shank hook. I think your method is much better and more stealth, they may not feel as much resistance with your method?
