I saw a 51 caught on an 808. Only one way to know for sure!

Should be fine f for filling the freezer with eaters. I have caught a ton of fish on a Zebco 33s . We used to use them and dunk them in the water if the got hard to reel .

They caught a dozen like this tonight spooled up with 15# Big Game on zebco 33s. The youngests rod is a Star Wars special with a reel that looks like C3PO the robot. He caught one over 5 lbs. tonight on 3PO.

Yeah, the catfish don't know what setup you're using.
