Due to the methods we use and the gear, we generally don't land a lot of smaller fish. I would say low end would be 5-7 lbs, every once and a while a small one slips through though. We do get little fish bites but don't even touch the rods when they hit.

Like I said, I have no reason to tell fish tales or make things up. I have a good strong base of repeat clients that keep me busy and keep coming back year after year. It doesn't serve my interests to make things up. Don't think though that it cannot be done because as I said I have heard of better days. I have been catfishing for a LONG time and have learned a lot along the way. I don't claim to know it all but I know enough to be dangerous and pass what I know on to others.



There are several guides on this site that learned to catch catfish from North Texas Catfish Guide Service, and I myself have been fortunate to be able to learn over my lifetime from some of the best that are out there. I would never venture to say a day like that would come along again but if it does so be it.

There are a look of excellent anglers and guides on this forum that catch a heck of a lot of fish.

Here is another one of those banner days. Started fishing at 7:30, limited by like 9:00 or 9:30 and spent thirty or forty five minutes minutes throwing fish back before everyone gave up. Again, those days don't always come along but sometimes you just hit em and get in there and whack em and stack em.

Chad has plenty of skins on the wall..
no need to lie....
he did say banner day....meaning home run .... where everything was right...the right school of big fish were hunger and he was in the right place at the right time....
with the right methods......
days we all dream about and once in a while get to have...

I use the same Rods Jered uses for big fish ......and for channels light action cheep poles that I bought at Cabelas. The whoopin sticks ...24.99 with a reel...dont have to worry about clients breaking them or throwing them over board...also works great for sandbass.

Dont know for sure, however, Chad dosent keep larger fish, he catches and releases, as do his clients, might just explain why you dont see the "Bigies" he speaks of.

After readibg the last few posts, explains to me why several of the good catfish guides never post here (Maybe not never, but seldom)

Oh well, life is just a matter of Choices, carry on

btw: will not continue this bashing.

Seems to me if that happened and the stars were alligned and everything was perfect u would have taken tons of pics with several cameras..
