Noodlers or bait?

The wife and I have both caught a few of those on Lake Ouachita, AR years ago. Have seen several that locals took that would swallow that guy whole. We used to sein bream and run trot lines, sometimes I wondered if the boat was going to sink when you got a load off the 150 hooks out.

That one was taken on cut bait grass shad I think. Nolan the little one is around 180 lbs. And I hear of these super catfish I have seen some 100 lb cats still not big enough to swallow a person. Never seen a gator that could do that I love to see a pic. The biggest cat I saw was one over in one those third world country.

So how big is that one, 25#? I have seen 100 pound plus flatheads in AR that could swallow that catfish whole. I guess I could dig through 35mm and polariods but don't think it will happen, not tonight anyways. The mid 80's wow thats a lot of pictures.

and "that guy" refers to the catfish, that's what the thread is about

Well I sure did read that wrong I think oneokie got me side tracked he likes to mess with my head. That cat if i remember right was around 35 lbs the biggest one landed by the one holding the fish in the pic was 85 lbs. The avg fish on the bigger scale run 30 to 60 lbs I think a pic showing the mouth give a better way to get a ideal on size. A lot of them do not get pictures taken their camera died due to water and a lot of cell phones have been ruined to. That was on my boat and I used my camera. And the big ones are released to be caught another day. Sorry for the misreading of your post no need to prove a 100 lb fish but a man eater I had to see lol .
