More big cats

[Santaaa]

There is no size limit in the State of PA for channel cats. I think there should be as well it would let more monster fish grow up in PA and give us all a heck of a fight. I got one tonight probably about 1 and half feet roughly. I let him go asap as I have enough meat in my freezer and he is not a monster catfish... not yet. Put up a decent fight. The only limit is on the amount you can catch in one day. Until I finish eating the meat I have ,unless I get a record which I may if I keep going the way I am going, I am just going to throw them back. I am just going to work on perfecting my original recipe for catfish dough bait. I have caught 2 catfish on my own dough bait recipe. a 27 inch channel catfish and about 1 and half foot roughly catfish tonight. My problem is not attracting the catfish. I have 2 problems keeping the bait on the hook and the bait is sticky as it is comprised of alot of sugars. I have solved the problem of being to sticky and staying on the hook but my other problem I have to finishing preparing the bait after I get to the lake to fish. I role the dough in a giant dough ball that gets rolled in the dirt. Yeah dirt. Well I need to find something that acts like the dirt to keep it from being sticky and holding together better. Any suggestions? It is a pain having to role all the bait in the dirt while I could be fishing. Any suggestions on a better thing to use to help keep it from being so sticky and to help it stay on the hook better? Thanks.
