YA, love catfishing nothing better than sitting on the rocks or riverside fishing for that big one. I haven't been lucky enough to catch the big one yet though. Live in Wichita Falls, Texas and mainly do alot of catfishing when i can pull myself away from work. Just bought a pacifica 6000 spinning reel for catfishing (posted on this site today), don't know anything about it but it was on sale quite cheap and holds some large copacity line. I'm originally from Illinois and just got done fishing at Carlyle lake up there a few weeks ago by the dam, not much luck in catching catfish but the dang gar sure were biting. However my cousin and I ran a cross a guy who was carrying i figure a 30 to 40 pound cat caught by the dam. Hoping to one day land me a 40 to 50 pounder, but till then i'll be practicing.
