The biggest fish I ever caught was a catfish. I caught him in the Etowah River in North Georgia. My monster cat was nothing like the one seen in the picture. I doubt my big catfish would have weighed 10 pounds. I have seen and heard about monster catfish that can be caught in rivers and lakes.

What is the biggest catfish you ever caught? I would love to go on a night fishing trip and try to land one of these huge fish. They would be hard to land if they weighed 20 pounds or more. I know my biggest catch ever took me about 30 minutes to get him ashore. A monster cat that went closer to 100 pounds would probably be an all night battle.

You would have to start off with some really strong fishing line. I’m not sure what the strongest line is, but that’s the line I would use. A few big hooks and a lot of bait would also need to be in the tackle box. I would want to start fishing in the daylight, so I could plan out my strategy for landing a big catfish. I bet most fishermen have to take to the water, so they don’t lose a fish this big. I would need to see this during the daylight hours, so I would be prepared after dark to catch my monster cat.

I guess chicken liver that is really bloody would be the best bait choice. It seems that would draw the most attention from these big fish. Before you can land the big one, you might have to reel in a few small ones first. Once you get the fish swimming around and the smell of chicken liver and blood in the water, I think the bigger catfish would head your way. I believe it’s the amino acids that actually attract fish to your hook. I wonder if you can buy a bottle of pure amino acids to soak the chicken liver in first? That would probably be a good recipe for a catfish bait. Especially if you have dreams of landing a monster cat one night. I say “night” because most catfish are active during the night time hours. You can catch them during the day, but most fishermen seem to do better at night. Please feel free to share your big catfish stories and let me know what the biggest catfish you ever caught weighed.
