A dough ball made from a duck egg, white bread, and dirt molded to a wire crappie hook and a fly pole and dropped in a fallen tree is a very small pond in a campground I used to live in. Caught old Gotcheye, a 10# one eyed channel that lived there. Of course, like all named fish, he was released. The pond, located at the intersection of I20 and US59 is gone now, replaced by an IHOP and a Motel. It ain't what they call you, it's what you answer to....

Back in the late 50's at Lake Kickapoo in Northwestern Archer Co., a friend caught a good catfish on a perch hook baited with bubble gum. So we said what the heck and put some on larger hooks and we caught a tow sack full of channel cat between 1 and 2 pounds. Now Selling Rogers Cheese-bait 940 636 2141

Still use it at times and it works or Put a little of your favorite dip bait between two pieces and you got a catfish burrito. Wham! FI I'm a humble fisherman in the service of our Lord. Started fishin at 5 years old and can't stop. I've owned a boat every day from age 16. I fish for every type of fish in every different way. Kevin

We'd then take this bag with us and bait our hooks. My dad called it "Stinky Shrimp", to which I replied "Really?"

My friend lost his cap in the high wind and we were casting out to snag it and I hooked a 61 pound yellow cat. What was even more weird was he was hooked right in the mouth like he struck at it. Biggest fish I have ever caught. Took me 1 hour to get him in. It was alot of fun though. - Charles I have caught plenty on bare silver colored hooks on trotlines. I ran out of bait one night and left the whole string bare. By morning we had a nice mess of channel cats. Not sure if it was the flash of the hooks or the smell of being baited earlier that day.
