Also, forgot to answer your question. Last Saturday the bite came off of downed scaley bark hickory trees. So you have heard right....Don't let the secret out though, big money tourney coming up soon lol.

I know it's not a bass but I thought anglers might enjoy

Man uses Barbie fishing rod to make record catch

ELKIN, N.C. (AP) - David Hayes' granddaughter just ask him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom. He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.

i like to do some bass fishing, sometimes some catfishing as well. one of the basketball boosters at the college i went to has a 100 acre farm about 4 miles from my house. on his farm he has a 3 acre pond/mini lake. you can actually take a lil boat out on it. stocked w/ everything, bass, cat, blue gill, brim, carp, crappie. so i just go out there whenever i feel like it. he has some big bass in there. the biggest i personally caught was last year on july 4th, i got a 7lb bass. I've seen 2 others that were bigger, one my boy caught in the spring weighed a little over 8, and then another guy caught one that was close to 10. the catfish are pretty big as well. walk out on the dock and put some chicken liver down, you'll get your catfish
