So, I live in Northern Illinois, about 15 minutes north of downtown Chicago. There is a golf course near my house with a pond, and I fish there quite often. Yesterday, I took my son, 2 nephews and 2 nieces out there to fish. My one niece had your basic bobber,weight, hook,worm set up fishing in about 6 feet of water. The hook was about 1ft below the bobber. On one cast, she saw her bobber go down, and reeled and reeled. She caught a catfish. It had a black back and yellow underside, I think it's called a yellow catfish. Is it normal for catfish to come up that high to feed? Is it specific to that type of catfish?
