catfish?

[puzzum]

Hello, I am new here. Recently, I was fishing in a very small pond in South Florida and I was casting a 1/16 oz. tube and bouncing it on bottom while reeling in. After I let it fall, once it had a heavy weight on it. I thought I was snagged but then it started moving. It came off and I had some slime on my line which usually only happens when I am cat-fishing.

Also, I went back later with hot dogs and got hits. they would only come about halfway up before falling off. they looked about 1-2 ft and gold/silver.
