Well? how did you get it out? :)
Me too!
A 4 pound cat managed to foul 5 of 6 lines this morning while I was pulling cranks. He hit the outside right pole with 30' out and wrapped up everything.
I went straight for the knife to cut the tangle and spent 10 minutes re-rigging all my poles. Slime was everywhere. Ugh!
Stay away from the white crankbaits, catfish love those for some reason.
Man last time I fished MS I caught one of those son-of-a-guns, a small one with needle sharp spines, and when I tried to get a hold of him to get my crank out, it flopped and nailed me right between my thumb and finger. Buried that spine about a half an inch into my hand. I thought I'd been struck by lightning. I couldn't believe how painful that was, almost passed out. And it didn't go away anytime soon. I took every kind of pain meds I could find plus a muscle relaxer and it still took over an hour or two for the pain to subside.

MacDaddy, your story gave me the shivers.
I'm always amazed at the slime they manage to build up on my line. Even the small critters like Erin is holding seems to encase the last 6 to 8 inches of the line in goo. Like they travel around in a force field of slime, been lucky so far hadn't caught one bigger than a couple pounds so far, I rough house them to the boat. Had a few bigguns break me off though, I suspect kitty's if not big daggum drum [emoji35]

I hate slimers!! They don't even make it over the gunnel of my boat. The big pair of needle nose pliers takes care of most.
If I didn't know better I'd say that was the same one that got me. But if I remember right, and I'm pretty certain I do, he wasn't swimming the last time I saw him.Quote:

No pain No gain. Nice catch dude!
Debbie gets sick everytime she eats catfish, so they go back in the water for someone else.
When you get hit with a catfish fin, rub some of it's belly slime on and in it. Stops he bleeding and relieves the pain quickly. Have used this method many time when fishing for cats in the Arkansas river.Quote:
