Catfish 9/10

I decided to go to catch some catfish, so I went to my secret spot I found a couple weeks ago. When I got there it was thundering and lightning, so I had to wait a few minutes to go out and fish. After I baited my three lines with chicken liver I wrapped them with sewing thread to keep them on the 1/0 VMC circle hook I was using. After I threw them out, I only had to wait about 10 minutes before I caught my first channel catfish. I caught about 3 more channel cats in about 1 hour, then I caught a big (for me at least) blue catfish, and it felt like I was trying to lift The Titanic out of the water. After that, I caught 4 more smaller channel catfish, the smallest being about 12 inches. I took all of them home and cleaned them, and they are soon to be a very good meal.
