I have only ever caught 1 from using bait and it was with some catfish dough and I doubt that is a effective way of catching them. Now if you don't care what happens to them you can always snag them. I have caught tons of them by snagging them when I was a kid. I still have a snagging treble hook from when I was little and it works awesome. You might be able to find one but it might be hard cause that's sorta frowned upon and maybe illegal. Or take the biggest treble you can find and a heavy sinker and rig it like a drop shot. I use to do that before I had a snagging treble. Normal crank bait hooks probably wont cut it since that have giant scales and they are pretty thick.
