Thread: Why are they here?

We did not target large catfish. If someone had said to me, “let’s go to Stumphole area at Santee and try to catch some 20 pound catfish” the LAST place I would look, or expect to catch any, would be in 3 ft or less way up in the swamp. But that’s where we literally “stumbled” into them because we were NOT expecting this. During spring-summer spawn? Sure, but I’m at a loss as to why these were so shallow. Admittedly I’m no expert by a long shot but trying to learn so...

So can can anyone explain why these big cats were back in such shallow water?
