that was a ten-pound channel cat and i think that was a fairly large tilapia or bluegill. most of the catfish we catch have been eating fish. If you don't want to gut hook fish only use eagle claw barbless circle hooks which you can buy on amazon. the catfish are I think the reason my bass aren't growing bigger. we also don't have a surplus of bass and I think its because the catfish are eating them. we have too many catfish!
