I was about to put it back in the water and I was instructed to let it be as it was going to be used as bait. I was a bit skittish but I had heard buffalo was A+ kitty bait. Well, I bled it out and filleted the buffalo and cut the fillets into cubes and folks all I can say is we could not keep the kitties off the buffalo cubes. P220 used Danny King's but I and Skeeterbite used buffalo and I tore them up on it and most were 2-3 pound cats. I had heard a lot of stories but I must agree they buff's are a premium catfish bait.

We went bowfishing on Lake Wood last night and I have 5 or 6 goods ones in the freezer awaiting anyone who wnats them. I am not a catfisher but I will not just waste the fish so I froze them to give away. MesquiteMan Member, Texas Bowfishing Association Fishing? Go with a Bow!
