I am wide open on type of catfish......just want to spend a bunch of money catfish and have them gobbled up by bass. Most of the bass we caught were in the 8-10" range.......struggling with the thought of these bass eating 5"-8" catfish. FYI, there are lots of places to hide in this lake.....

Maybe the best route is to go with the "trotline" fish method and see what happens....

With that many small Bass you will probably find you have some Trophy size LMB that eat the smaller Bass as prey. The largest LMB I ever had on my line was in a pond similar. I had hooked a smaller 12+" LMB that was then eaten by a Trophy LMB.
