My morale is bruised, but that fish won't have the last laugh...

I may be time to change hooks to some quality ones. If your hooks bends, or is too brittle then it is time to start looking for some name brand hooks.

I could personally recommend Owner hooks. They have a Mutu medium Circle hook that would be awesome for the catfish. Gamakatsu also make some good circle hooks.

Eagle Claw and Mustad also make good hooks as well and probably a little more affordable to loose when you run into snags.[cool]
