[QUOTE="rsimms, post: 4276335, member: 1534"] I have admittedly been on a "Big Fish Drought" recently. While catching good numbers, the trophy cats have eluded my boat in recent weeks. But Steve Proctor broke the drought Sunday! Here's the video: [url=https://youtu.be/EAId3xpcby4]https://youtu.be/EAId3xpcby4[/url] [youtube]EAId3xpcby4[/youtube] On top of that, he and Cynthia Khalife (from Denver, Colorado) put the smackdown on big numbers of quality fish. It was easily a 200-pound-plus [total weight], 4-hour venture ... probably much more than 200! And we left 'em biting. It's fishing so, of course, the bite varies day-to-day. On Friday, in the exact same spot, we caught about a fourth of Sunday's catch. It just shows you never know what mood the fish will be in one day to the next. Hopefully Sunday's big fish is a sign of things to come. As Fall approaches, the big cat bite should do nothing but improve. We were on Chickamauga Lake (obviously), vertical drift fishing 40-55 feet of water... with my favorite bait, chicken breast. I use 50 lb. braided line going to a 3-way rig (60 # hook leader to a 5/0 Team Catfish circle hook). Basically it's "drop-shotting" for catfish. [/QUOTE]
