Depends on whether I looking for eaters or monsters. For monsters I only use fresh caught bait that is naturally a food source for them. Those big ones are smart. To fill a freezer I like beef liver. It stays on the hook, it's bloodier and and has a strong smell to it. I have just had much better luck with it than chicken liver which is hard to keep on a hook without some sort of helper. The trick is to buy sliced beef liver and CUT it into strips or whatever shape you need for your hook. I like strips and use it like worms. A small treble hook and you can load up on channel cats or even smaller blues . Larger ones you are better off sticking with shad or blue gill. I have saved a ton of money of bait since I bought a castnet years ago. If you catch it in number, that's generally what they are eating.
