I went bank fishing at Murrell Park - Grapevine Lake today targeting Carp & Catfish. Caught & release bunch of buffalo on method feeder & hair rig with sweet corn. Buffs are between 8-15lbs, carp are smaller at about 7lb. Caught one blue catfish about 4-5lb with cut bait and decided to keep this one (it had a very fat belly). When I got home and clean the blue cats there are bunch of rice (raw rice not cooked) in its belly, I was wondered why in a natural habitat as Grapevine Lake the catfish has rice it its belly? (sorry I don't have pic since it's almost dark and my hand are busy cleaning).

Thank you

Someone could have been chumming with it for sure! I doubt it would be a Carp fisherman as we typically boil anything before chumming to make it easier to digest. If you fill them up with raw grains they're less likely to bite your hookbait!


Catch and release. The dream - to catch one of every species of Freshwater fish in our great state! If only I can resist Carp...

You right, this is my first time seeing raw rice in chumming method.
