Last week this 2 lb put a serious bend in my light action rod:
Lure used:
or this one on a Joker caught last year:
Had a very difficult time netting this 6 lb cat caught on a stubby tail grub (my creation):
…it was caught on 10lb test braid, a light jig and Slider Worm:
This channel cat that fought like a large bass, also struck a small grub; it went 2 3/4 lb:
There are more but you get the idea.
Climate change. Everyone else blames it on that so why not
Or finished spawning. They seem to be nailing anything that moves or not. Lol!
Trump’s fault.
I once had a 7 pound channel cat slam a beetle spin and it damned near jerked the rod out of my hand.

Been there caught that and it almost broke my 5.6′ rod in half !
Past couple weeks have been getting a few trolling salmo hornets,theres no mistaking that hit for a walleye.
It varies a bit depending on species… For example, channels are known to eat anything.
Blues are more picky; they are primarily hunters, not just bottom scroungers like channels, & are strongly drawn to scents, especially oils & phenols. Plastic lures today are primarily composed of resins, which are compounds of phenols, and various “attractants” or scents, most of which are aromatic oils (garlic oil is popular).
Flatheads are straight predators, actually having a lair & separate hunting grounds. They scent, but are primarily sight hunters, like land cats. They are similarly wary, often only taking live baitfish.
However, like felines, they will often react to attack something that suddenly appears nearby appearing to struggle or flee.
Trump’s fault.
I believe it. The guy is a d bag.
