Its also pretty rare to catch catfish on bass lures like spinners, although its happened to me a few times... cool post, RC.

Those are my problems with this story. Seems to me a big cat like that could swim to the bottom, mud itself in and you’d never pry it off the bottom with that light gear.
Also, if a big cat like that has to expend the energy to chase something down it wants a mouth full, something that will stick to its ribs for a while. They’re not interested in something as small as a bass spinner. I suppose that if the spinner was practically swimming into its mouth it would snap it up but the chances of that are so miniscule as to be unbelievable.

He gave me the key to the cabin, I had a paddleboat to fish from and it was awesome, such a beautiful lake, he spends $1000 a year keeping it moss free, its so easy to fish and is such a "fish friendly" lake, meaning that there is just a ton of cover all along every bank... if a tree falls in the water it gets left right there, tree's growing out over the water, huge banks of cattail... theres just cover EVERYWHERE.
Just me by my lonesome, 12 fish, mostly keeper size bass, it was a real treat and I cant wait to go back again, my best day of the year so far... got up, cooked breakfast and coffee over the fire, went for a dip later on, its what summer is all about.

That sounds like a lot of fun.
