Last time I got a channel cat in the Conn. River was something like 20+ years ago on a jitterbug... It was about 9lbs. I don't have the patients to sit and wait with bait... Best of luck to you!

well update on the night we fished till around quarter till two in the morning extremely slow and may I say humid night where were these nights mid summer??? lol... anyway my buddy did get one screaming run on the bait runner and when I say scream it was like a striper on a bait runner thing sailed and was stopping for nothing he sets the fish and fights it within probably 30 ft of shore when it went nuts headshaking and then rips the fighting drag like it wasn't even there and then it hangs up in what well never know and the rest im sure u can guess he got back sinker and all but no hook....I been catfishing for years and ive never seen one act like this unless it was one bigger than we wanna know lol it definately even left me wondering what or how big it was....my buddy is still recovering from the sunken feeling he endured lastnight definitely a night to remember.

ugh that is a rough feeling, hope you guys get back after it and land that beast

[stripernut]

Maybe it was a striper, I have caught them to Turners Falls in the past...

I guess I'll go with sturgeon.

I guess I'll go with sturgeon.

I thoghut that too lol. But figured your chances of getting one of those 30ft from shore with a rod for cat fish, was pretty slim lol

bowfin will snap a line and run like that also. give me a holla next time u go. I have been looking to get a big cat this yr but finding someone to go with is not easy. not much interest in catfishing I guess. only went once this yr but im determined to get one.
