My biggest cats (only 9lbs. so were not talking monsters here) have been caught on 2 baits. One is a whole 4-6" frozen chub minnow on a wire leader I make for Pike with a 1/0 Owner Salmon hook above a 2/0 Mustad treble fished in the Green River. The other is at Utah Lake using a bubble, a treble hook, and a worm. Two completely different techniques, same result. A whole lotta fun on the end of a pole. Try different baits to see what works for your particular water and fishing style. I've tried shrimp, blood baits, dip baits, minnows, worms, carp, doughs, and lures of all kinds. Yes lures. My wife caught a 17lb. Channel on a Rainbow Crocodile Spoon in the Green River. Then again, I don't think there is a fish out there that she (not me) couldn't catch on that thing.
