Trolling for catfish?

[Fishin_dad]

Was at Willard yesterday trying to catch some wiper. It was pretty slow for me but we did manage one catfish that took the rapala. I never would have guessed I would have hooked up a catfish while trolling. Stopped the boat to let my son pull her in. Before we started up again I asked my nephew to pull in the other rod. He did and we had a massive carp that had taken our other rapala. So strange. My nephew loved pulling in the big carp...even though it was just a carp. I wish they were wiper though.

So I have read somewhere about smoking catfish. Can someone give me some pointers? I'd like to experience what is go great about smoked catfish.

Thanks in advance.
