DawsonH Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Why do you make the distinction between bullheads and catfish? For me, I have caught a bullfrog on a jig, and I have had them chase my bobbers when bream fishing. I got a red ear on a dd4 while bass fishing last year, and I have snagged turtles on a sugar shad a couple times. Quote

Super User Paul Roberts Posted April 3, 2009 Super User Posted April 3, 2009 Why do you make the distinction between bullheads and catfish? Catfish (channels, flatheads) are faster and more aggressive predators than bullheads. Bullheads are slower and less visual than the cats. It's easier to catch cats on lures than bullheads -in my experience. I remember another: I spotted a pod of small carp (~10") in slightly roiled water. They held just below the surface and I could see their gold flashes. I tossed a #2 Mepps Aglia below them and one zipped over and I felt a tap. I cast again and this time I timed the visual and hooked one -inside the mouth -he took it! I caught two more this way. They were aggressively chasing and smacking that spinner. Quote

cambridgefisherman Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I dont think that catfish are that unusual to catch on artificial baits. I can think of 5 right of the top of my head that I have gotten on artificials, Sliders, Lizards, ect.., and none of them were below 5lbs. I have had a number of unusual catches including a Paddlefish on a slider that I somehow snagged in the mouth, a mussel that clamped onto my line, a leach that somehow grabbed onto my DT-6, a 6lb common carp on a rattletrap, and a 6" bluegill on a 5" swim senko with a 4/0 hook. Cant think of anything else right off hand. ;D Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 10, 2009 Super User Posted April 10, 2009 Thats a DT-10 stuck in his shoulder: i also caught a duckling while fishing with bread for bluegills at the park. poor thing was screaming while i held it and got the hook out of its mouth. it was really soft ;D Quote
carrothead Posted April 24, 2009 Posted April 24, 2009 I really can't compete :-[, but I caught about a 12 inch channel cat on a crawfish color Rebel Deep Wee-r. Quote
CRFisher Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Technically I think I snagged it but caught a gigantic freshwater clam today on a fluke I was deadsticking. The hook got right in it's mouth, it fell off the hook before I could get a picture though. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted May 3, 2009 Super User Posted May 3, 2009 caught a couple of catfish on a 3/8 oz white bleedin eye spinnerbait..lol Quote
FloatTuber Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Caught a fat 11 oz pumpkinseed on a 3/8 oz kastmaster. Sure catching one on a little kastmaster wouldn't be too crazy, but the treble hook barely fit in his mouth. Quote
bigtimfish Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 catfish on a berkley power lizard,catfish on a h&h spinnerbait,crappie on a x rap xr10 Quote
aarogb Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 Mine would be a 2-3 lb. catfish (not sure what kind) on a chartreuse Bomber crankbait. Quote
Big Tom Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 T-Rig that is a really odd bass. Its built more like a crappie. Quote
SaintsFn Posted May 7, 2009 Posted May 7, 2009 Blue Catfish kitten on a DD22. I call that picture...(from the fish's perspective)"I shoulda stayed home!" Quote
VA-Cal Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 While fly-fishing late one evening, I caught a flying Bat on my backcast. When I started the forward delivery, and felt the tension, I thought I had snagged something. Just as I turned around to see what it was, the bat hit me in the back of the head!! Talk about "FREAKIN' OUT ! !" Cal Quote
Chris W Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I caught a watersnake on a fluke last year, and a couple of years ago I caught an alligator on a flipping tube. I wish I would have taken a picture of him he was about 4 ft long. I also caught a 35" northern pike on a 1lb smallmouth bringing him to the boat one year in Canada. Quote
Use ONLY Stren Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Ive caught tons of cats and carp on soft plastics, ive also caught tilapia on spinnerbaits. But the best catch on artificials was a 8lb. mudfish(Bowfin) on a Yum Crawbug, and 2 gar over 10lbs. one on a rattle trap and the other on a brushog. Quote
JacobK Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 caught on a wacky jig//finesse worm, i didn't wanna touch it so i had my buddy hold it while i snapped the picture. Quote
SuperNewbie Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 i caught a 6 inch shinner on a nose hooked 5inch fat ika watermelon and blk flake :D Quote
