+ a big dip-net,
You don't need any extra clothes if you wear some H20 express Bibs and if you have the jacket in the boat you don't have to have a rain suit, they keep you clean, and dry, and the wind off you!!!

Hooks. I keep a small pair of scissors to cut line but the cutters on a pair of needle nose works too. I always keep electrical tape too. Never know when something decides to break.

If you catch big fish, don't waste your money on cabelas grips. Larry went thru 3 or 4 pair last season

If you catch big fish, don't waste your money on cabelas grips. Larry went thru 3 or 4 pair last season I bought 5 pairs from Team Catfish last winter. Other than when we have to use more than 1 pair at a time, i've only needed 1 pair. They are holding up great so far.

Our grips are different for a reason.......We understand catfish anglers needs.... We have all our grips made out of a more flexible plastic. We too had the original material that all the other colors are made out of, but catfish anglers were breaking the lower jaw on big blues. The factory listened to my suggestions and in 2009 Team Catfish built the HD floating fish grip out for the new yellow material. They are a little higher priced than the other colors but the yellow grip is the only one that will hold up to lots of big cats day after day.

A set of dry clothes. You never know when you will make a mistake. I also believe in the pocket warmers.

I do have sun screen. But it drives me crazy trying to get the scent off my hands. I always spray dead red or Crush shad in my hands tthen depose of it. Then cut bait.

Team Catfish grips are a MUST have for guys wanting to handle big fish and weigh big fish.

Believe me, they are not the same as the Cabellas brand, I went through 4 pair of the orange ones last year, and Tom still has the same pair of Team Catfish grips I think from year before last, we have had several fish over 50 lbs and a couple over 60 and they are still good!!! No matter how much price difference, you need some of these!!! + 1

Baby wipes, sun screen, and hand sanitizer. I'm sorry but baby wipes r not allowed in my boat. They work great for cleaning shad scales, blood, etc off your hands before eating...plus I always have them around the house.

some of them jokes is pretty mean spirited sometimes. He's a good sport though. I assume they know each other pretty well too.

I do have sun screen. But it drives me crazy trying to get the scent off my hands. I always spray dead red or Crush shad in my hands tthen depose of it. Then cut bait. I carry latex gloves to put sunscreen on with and then take them off and no scent on your hands.

Kevin's got a thick skin for sure. He's a good sport and doesn't throw tantrums like BDDD. Well there was this one time he told the whole world to pack sand but ordinarily he's a good sport lol.

I think spray on cost about 5 times as much so I don't buy.

In those cold winter months when those bigguns are down deep, don't forget to take you a 1/4 inch pvc pipe about 2 feet long to burp your fish with before throwing them back.
