I use trout here in Idaho. I work at a trout hatchery and I can get bait any time. My son Jacob and I went night fishing in our pontoons a while back. He put on a 5" long half of a 10" trout, the head portion. He got a monster hit and had the fish for a bit but he had ran his 4/0 hook through the head and the cat was never fully hooked. I was looking down into the water when it came up for a second. It was the biggest channel I have seen. I wish the hook would have stuck. Ron
