I've caught a few on gulp soft plastics while bass fishing, and I've seen one hit a spinner bait like a freight train in like 2 feet of water. Never seen one caught with topwater though.

I've only caught one on the fly with top water. I think the popper hit the right spot at the right time. I also think that it could have be anything else thrown and the same strike would've happened. The popper hit the water, I gave one strip and the fight was on. It was a 3-4# channel cat on a 6wt rod. It was fun, but I was using a 16# leader so it really didn't take much playing of the fish. It made 2 good 50-70' runs, but after that it was over. I have caught a few other channels on baitfish patterns running up the side of the riffle. Nothing like the 12-15# hybrid stripers I was chasing. Totally different fight though and fun on the fly.

I bet

cool!

I caught one about 3 pounds on a Pop-R this year on Cedar Creek. It was a surprise.

I was fishing a Bass Tourney at LBJ this year and caught a large Blue cat on a Chug Bug,

I've caught multiple catfish on poppers. The catfish were busting the surface at Fork just after the sun was going down. I didn't know it was catsnuntil I hooked one. Others were chasing bait so much they would swim and hit the boat. It was pretty wild having them swim right into the boat.

Guess they will catch anything?

who needs a yellow magic....
