I'd like to offer some fun for some visitors to my place and allow them to catch some of the catfish out of my pond. This pond hasn't been fished yet. The fish are about 3/4 to a pound, I'm fairly certain. What I'd like to know is, what kind/size hook should I use on the line? We'll probably catch a few and release them. I don't think they're large enough to harvest yet. I don't want the fish to swallow the hook or poke it through its eyeball or anything. I'm hoping these kids will have some fun, I'll get a good look at the size of the catfish, and the fish will be none the worse for the wear. Any suggestions? Thanks, folks.
