Catfish (MDC Pond) Rod Benders

This video completes the story of a 15 May float tube visit to a MDC pond in Benton County, MO. The original purpose of the adventure was to fish for panfish - bluegill, hybrid bluegill and red ear sunfish. It was an excellent trip and the whole story had to be told in two other videos: bass and catfish.
Rudie Tootie, papillon trip advisor and trick show-off, was responsible for my using an ultra lite and getting tangled up with caftish. He objects to the accusation hahaha!
Rudie and Leila have a cute intro for the fans.
Enjoy the show.

Love those little puppies, Rudie and Leila 😍so sweet and lots of company!! Well, you got slimmed with catfish today. They are really fun to catch but we always threw them back too. It’s always amazing to hear them “croaking”!! There must be an awful lot of catfish in that pond.

The catfish is a different species but it puts up good fights when it is big and it is voracious and attacks everything when it is hungry. excellent video congratulations. greetings, a big hug, blessings.
