Went fishing today and had a little luck,caught 4 small ones . On one cast, I was dragging my SENKO along the bottom and felt a "TAP-TAP",so I stopped and waited.After a few seconds of no action I began my slow dragging retrieve again and then suddely.......WHAM!!!. I set the hook and began a good fight,As the fish got closer to the bank I noticed a yellow color . To my surprise,what I caught was a fat ,pot bellied yellow catfish,or "mudcat" as ive heard em called. This was certainly a first for me. So now I know theres more than just bass and sunfish in this pond ,the fishing could get to be a little more exciting,when im tired of cranking for bass,I can lob a hook full of crawlers out and sit on the bank and wait for the bite to come. ;D

I fished my first tourney last night as a co-angler. The only fish the guy caught who owned the boat was a bluegill, yup, on a senko with a 2/0 hook.

On a similar odd note, I caught a shiner tonight on a spinner bait. Go figure.

hehe my first fish on a senko was today and it wasn't a bass it was a nice 4 lb channel cat

Nice, nice...Seems to me that Senko's seem to be the magic.

I'm a live bait fisherman myself and hope to land some major mo-fos this weekend since I rangled up somewhere around 100, 9 to 12 inch long Night Crawlers outa my front yard (try it) and am headed out to Large Mouth Central; I'll letcha know!...BTW I've never lost a tourney. Wish me luck!!!

Nope, they are not just for bass.  I have caught a crappie and a huge snapping turtle on one.  That was interesting, to say the least.

Snappers have a negative attitude when hooked.  

I caught a Big Green Sunfish on a 5" Senko, I was using a 4/0 hook- I couldn't believe I hooked him ;D

the first fish i caught on senkos was a bowfin

Hah! I just caught a bass and a WALLEYE on a senko today! I guess it can catch any fish!

I caught a HUGE bream on a senko once. It was massive, at least a pound.

My last club tourney, we put a crappie, walleye, white bass, and a cat in the boat on senkos and brushhawgs.

i caught a few warmouth on 7 inch senkos. weird huh

Add stripers and bluefish to the list!

theyr'e dinamite for pike too!

I have used Senkos on 1 OZ and 1 1/2 OZ jigheads while vertical jigging for lake trout.... They work at 100+ ft too...

Pulled in a bluegill once on a swimming senko.   It came up a bit the tail I saw it and just reeled in slow and steady, it didn't let go till it was out of the water and over the boat.  

Holy grave digger batman!

2005?!

x2 lol

I caught a nice 3lber on a senko to, it makes you think you just hooked into a NICE bass, only to be disappointed

Well I have caught a catfish on one before too and also a frog and a bat. Although the bat was not in the water when I got it just afterwords.  

try redfish and speckle trout

I feel sorta left out.  I have been fishing seko's for years and can't recall one fish I caught that wasn't a bass.

What am I doing Wrong?  :-/

Maybe your just doing everything right?

I was thinking the same thing.  ;D Maybe it is the rest of us that are off.

I caught this bad boy on a 5" Senko earlier this year

First one to land a carp on one wins IMO.
