My Uncle Dick told me that when he was in his '20s, he lived on the lower Mississippi. A friend took him out catfishin' and the way his friend showed him was amazing. It was maybe legal to harvest them that way, back in the 1940s.
Anyway, they rowwed out in a flat-bottomed boat, he told me, and proceeded to throw empty one gallon glass Clorox Bleach jugs into the water, with heavy pound line on, a big hook, & chicken liver. They would wait until a fish dragged the jugs underwater long enough to become exhausted. When the jugs quit getting yanked under the fish was ready to be pulled up! What a harvest method.:lol:
That sounds like a real good time, TB! A friend of mine marked on GoogleEarth his favorite catfish hole on the Oregon Snake.
