    Over the last 6 yrs. I’ve been catching more and more catfish on soft plastics.

    Biggest cat I ever caught was on a 1/4 oz. jig head w/a ring worm.

    Also super amazing to catch a channel cat on a feathered jig.

    Man that cat is huge!

    Four days ago I fought a 2 lb cat that almost broke my rod going under the boat 3x!
    On a pink stinger tail no less!
    One thing I was reminded of: do NOT thumb lip a catfish like you would a bass. Imagine a vice with teeth clamped on your thumb!!

    1/8th ounce jig, small paddle tail, 8# mono. Great fun but this took a while grin

    I have caught a lot pitching wing dams with crank baits and trolling the same.
