Hell, I don't even eat the stuff but I sure love playing with mah pole.

I'm the lazy, patient fisherman. I cast out, leave it and pay close attention to my line. Catfish like to play with the hook, so you have to bait it well and tease them once your line starts to move. Every now and then, I get a surprise and pull in a bass. I usually use a #2 hook, so the fish has to open up wide to suck it and the worm in. The exciting part is the yank and knowing the fish is secure on that hook as it fights with all it's might to stay in the water. When we catch enough fish, we have a fish fry.
