TP7W is curious how much you have spent in the last 3 years in efforts to catch on rod reel Trophy Blue Catfish. To your best guess, how much have you spent in the last 3 years gearing up for these winter fish? And, how much do you spend yearly to maintain the chase? Think about this a while and try and come up w/ accurate numbers. Include gas, gear, a boat purchase if you've had one (only if you bought the boat to primarily chase blue catfish) and any other tackle or means. Example: $7,400 / $680

It looks like to me, if you already have the boat. You need electronics, rod and reels, rod holders, net, castnets and terminal tackle. So it starts out around $6000 to just get seriously started.

I'll let my accountant finish with all of my tax prep and let you know. I'll stick with counting fish. He can handle all of the receipts and expenses.

Im a collector, not a buyer. Much of my gear is a few years old, and I rely on birthdays and Christmas for gift cards. I buy weights, hooks and line off ebay. So less than $200 a year.
