I am trying to thin out the catfish in the pond. This is the second weekend of removal. This is the first batch and then the sencond batch. Notice the deep sea rod with 30# test. The fish are averaging about 5#. The largest was sevin and a half. Notice the feeder after removing close to 200# of fish. I can't tell a difference. I went to the deep sea rod after breaking my favorite rod when one went under the boat.
