Today Tree came aboard the Bassgrabber1 so that we could search for some Perris TOADs and well we found one. I was throwing swimbaits and check outthe pig that hit it. I was throwing at a point and when he hit ......it felt like a train!!! I told Tree to grab the net because I was sure that it was over 10lbs. Well this is what it was....a monster cat!!!! hahahahhaha:EyePop: Enjoy the pics.

I was a little upset that it wasnt a bass but still a great fish to be landed. Fought very hard. I caught it using 15lbs test mono and a heavy action rod that was bent in half.336613366233663336643366533666

WOOOO! That thing was soooo heavy! That catfish was like a freight train. Start throwing swimbaits for catfish, forget the anchovies lol.

Beating the skunk is always good Jeff but wetting the boat is just great.

nice catch!

i was out there on friday with a friend and the bite was tough.
They stocked perris with trout on friday and i was watching the bass hit the trout like crazy.
The trout were literally jumping out of the water trying to get away from the bass lol

Congrats Bassgrabber1! That was me watching you land him at 80 yds away. What a nice monster of a cat!

I took a friend to LP today. We were throwing plastic worms and got this little monster of a cat (bluecat?). It weighed in at 12.3 lbs....right, plastic worm, lol lol.

He was about 6-8 ft deep. How deep was yours caught?

I let my swimmie sink in 11' of water and and on the 8th turn of the handle he hit.....If I had to guess I would say 8'. You should have stopped by and said whats up.

Several fishermen are catching large Channel Cats while fishing for other species. On Sunday, a friend's buddy caught a 20 lb class CC while fishing for Bluegill with 2 lb test line! A serious cat fisherman would clean up with the right bait. The big cats must like the change in water temp, or possibly the trout stocking got them moving around more.

Nothing like landing a large monster of the lake. Great job James. Jeff, be sure to watch out for the big ones on the ultra light gears. I thought my ultra light going to bite the dirt when the carp attached the crank bait on a 2lbs test. Now, we know that hunting for gills may involve fighting with cats and carps, on top of basses. Don't you just love this crazy lake?

It's more common than you think. I've caught just about everything fishing for bass and vise versa. Not only in that lake, but at other lakes as well. I once fished a night tourney at Irvine and caught everything but bass using plastics and spinnerbaits.

As to the original poster, that is a nice fish no matter what the species is bassgrabber. Good job and keep pluggin' away!

thats a blue cat, channels have the forked tails, like really forked.

But yea cats biting on lures is actually pretty common. Catfish are oppertunists they take what they can get. Even live fish.

Originally I thought it was a blue. I've seen several big ones in the past. I have not seen any big channels over 5 lbs though. They seem to be lighter when smaller. This one was much darker and had no spots. Do they lose their spots when they are big? I tend to agree with you but still not sure.

Me neither....I never thought cats would chase down a bait.

33697This is not a blue catfish. Channel catfish have a rounded ventral fin, blue catfish have a straight ventral fin.
