While my lovely wife and I were looking at Crappie.com on Friday, she totally surprises me by saying, "I want to catch a big catfish and cook it. Where do we get catfish tips and info?"

We search around for the catfish equivalent of Crappie.com, but didn't find anything that looked as good and helpful (further confirming my opinion that this is one of the best boards on the internet).

If you had to offer up a few tips on catching catfish, what would you say? Remember, she's going to read your tips, too, and the next catfish that she catches will be her first, so any help you can provide--locations, baits, techniques, equipment, etc.-- is great!
