I have group of friends that they are 70 years old plus and they just do bait and wait fishing. They fish for carp, catfish and trout in the seasons.
I do fish with this guys once or twice a week, unless it is cold and rainy which they dont like to go out. Anyways to make story short I always will have a rod for bait and wait with them and other one I do bass fish, One day I was with them at a lake that they said they stocked trout and as always I put one rod with night crawlers and I fish for bass, God knows I fished for solid five hours and try everything I know of and I didn't catch anything, My friends catch one or two trout during that time. I wanted to set and eat and get back to fishing and by that time my stand rod got bite and I set the hook and try to get the fish and I was feeling it is a catfish, To my surprise it was my PB small mouth ?. On Carolina rig with night crawler, Unbelievable!
I was fishing all day and nothing and this rod catches my PB smallie(I don't know if it counts as PB or not). Just wanted to share it with you guys, If you have surprising catch please Share your story as well.
