This nice bass was 22" long and weighed about 6 lbs.  I didn’t have my de liar with me so I’m just guessing based on the average weight for fish of that length.   He was also caught on the Yum baby craw in much the same way as was the channel cat.  Again, I saw some water movement under some overhanging brush.  I was able to pitch to him however, to just get near the swirling water.  I didn’t want to cast right on top of him but about a foot and half away.  Again, the water was about two feet deep and the bait was weightless.  I had just retied the lure and I’m thankful that I did.  Catfish have a way of fraying the line with their rasp like teeth.  This fish didn’t want anything to do with being caught and put up a mighty struggle.  Real fun!  I was using the same rod and reel as with the channel cat.  And, by the way, all these fish are still swimming.  I keep them out of the water as  short a time as possible.
