A friend who runs a vet's charity here in Western North Carolina called me yesterday and is hosting a catfishing tournament. It will be next friday on Lake Hickory. I told him he could count me in as veterans charity work is exactly what I do. I have been on a few guided catfishing trips but other than that I have no clue what I am doing for catfish and it will be my first ever catfish tournament. I have the gear and I have the boat to do it but my knowledge is lacking. Anybody got any good tips to find them? I'm going to need all the help I can get! LOL Here's a pic of the biggest catfish I ever landed on a guided trip on Lake Wateree down in SC. 28 pounds even.

Have fun. I enjoy dragging chicken for Blues. I'd give you advice but I want you to catch them.😂 I'm a amateur at best.
