That sure looks like a great time for you guys! Great job and photos!

Unfortunately, Trapstickman has only the one photograph of himself with a catfish. He would like to try open water fishing for them sometime.




I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Never fished for cats in the Great Lakes, how do you target them if you don't mind me asking?


Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

First time I've ever heard of fishing for catfish on the Great Lakes. Looks like fun.

You can sell them if you net them (commercial license $4) but not if you catch them on trot line or sport fish ($17 license). Doesn't make sense to me.
