My catfish tourney teams finished a respectable 3rd and 4th yesterday in Memphis and are both qualified to the National Championship in October. I sponsor an Xpress team and an Excel team.
Mr Bill Dance fishes with my newest Excel team of George Young and Cary Long. These guys had it won but a 30 pounder died on em.

The guys Mr. Dance is with here are my Xpress team members of David Magness and Rusty Jackson.

60+ gallon live wells. Some use 100-150 gallon Rubbermaid water troughs in their boats compete with oxygen setups. The fish must be alive to weigh. The new Excel 24' Catfish Pro comes with a built in 100 gallon live well. It's also rated for a 225hp engine.

That's a live well BRM and the younguns could get in. Probably next addition to the pontoon.
I might be able to get at least a part of ME in that live well. [emoji12]Quote:

Nice job! Looks like you sponsored the right teams. George is a real nice guy. He gave me a good honest deal on my boat. He also have me some limb line device from a company that sponsors him. They are a good idea and work good for big flatties!
My long time friend and hunting buddy Art (Guy) Preller invented those Port Arthur Limb Lines. My daughter and SIL live in Augusta where Guy lives.Quote:

Cool history on those devices!Quote:

My son and I have caught boat loads of bluegill with it and I have even slimmed it up a time or two with some slab crappie. Hopefully it will be nice and slimey this Fall and Winter!
Makes me want to get some fresh Skip Jack and drive to Memphis. Bill Has done many shows there along that stretch of river and shows you just about everything you need to know to catch them Big Cats. Good Post.
Bill is a genuine person and extremely nice compassionate guy . He has no put on about him , what you see is what you get and he is amazingly helpful .
Your sponsor team bill probably know of Team Jason & Darrel Massingal from Paragould. They have won a few boats and have done well.. They are fishing out of a Lowe center console and its huge with all the bells and whistles..... They are pretty salty cat fisherman!
My guy knows them. Nice guys.Quote:

I've heard about them for quite awhile. They are really good fishermen. My Xpress team drove up there and talked to them a few weeks ago. They are very knowledgable about Catfishing.
