I've seen a few, though most of them have happened right at the boat ramp. A-Jay

Hello and Welcome to BR ~ I'm sure you'll hear from a few of the seasoned catfish fisherman here, in the mean time, there's a lot of cat fishing info in the link below. A-Jay http://www.in-fisherman.com/catfish/

You are describing the symptoms and not the problem. Your first problem is you're getting snagged in the first place. Perhaps you could re-evaluate your bait / technique selection and choose one that is more suited for the conditions. Using a light line leader and spinning gear and a bait that gets snagged in an area that has them, might not be a formula for success - especially during a tournament. By modifying your technique / presentation to match the environment the bass are in, you may find more success. Without more information regarding your angling situation, it's difficult to offer you an insightful solution. I will say a different knot will make little to no difference. A-Jay

First weekend of the Bass C & R Opener - water and air temps low 40's with a pleasant 20 mph+ East wind. Not the best of conditions. 5 day Forecast ~ 5 days of cold rain. It's like a bad dream. A-Jay

Nice work. Fine choice in music. Matches the mood of your video well. Thanks for sharing. A-Jay

The Gary Yamamoto Senko is a great way to start out. There is plenty of info on it here. The first link has basic info and the second is a pathway to so much more. Good Luck A-Jay http://www.bassresource.com/fishing_lures/senko.html http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/12401-senko-faq- look-here-first/

I am for the most part, a one language man - and you're reading it right now. However for several years now, I've been doing everything I can think of to learn Micropterus. Some days I seem better at it than others. A-Jay

I am all for not being foolishly wasteful with resources; over population seems to be getting out of hand and blatant pollution is dumb. Some scientists believe the Earth is over 4 Billion years old. There is also evidence that man has inhabited the earth for close to 200,000 of them. So for some where in the neighborhood of 3,999,800,000 years, the planet did just fine with out us. Man, as a species, has a lot of nerve thinking that he can actually ruin a planet. Looking back at supposed history will show that when Mother earth thinks it's time or when she gets tired of human being on her surface, she will shake us off like a head cold. And there will be nothing we can do about it. Another ice age, or perhaps a rash of hurricanes, tornados, earth quakes, flash floods, forest fires, mud slides and tidal wakes ought a do it. Or is the case of the deep south - an inch and a half of snow. I'm not predicting anything or a proponent of doom & gloom. Simply providing a little perspective. A-Jay
