Winners AGAIN!

"Jeff,

The picture are from the Bass Pro tournament at Wheeler lake this weekend, 8/27/11. We placed first and had the big fish of the tournament. Big fish was 71lbs, and 5 fish limit weighed 130lbs.

We used the technique of drifting, targeting specific depths because of the high water temperatures and thermoclines. We were using the 8/0 double action hooks, the 65 pound tug o war braided line..., yellow and green, the floating fish grips, and the dead red blood spray.

Daryl Massingale"

2nd win in 2 weeks.....Amazing! Great Job Fellas. Glad the Team Catfish tackle is on-board in your boat at these big events! See you in September at the Mississippi River!

Floating Fish Grips are the BOMB!

Hi Jeff, fishing has temporarily stopped for me. I had hand surgery last week and I will be down for a few more weeks. I talked to you about a week ago and thank you for calling me back. I just wanted to share with you some photos of some of my blues that I used your fish grips on. You guys have some great products.
Thanks Jeff and take care.

I really like the Floating fish grips. I have had right hand problems for a couple of years and using the fish grip really made it easier for me to handle the fish. They are solid and have been a great asset to my fishing guide service. It makes holding the fish more comfortable for me as well as for my clients.

Thanks Captain Scott

26 lbr WOOOOOOOW!

Hi Guys -

I caught a 26.6 lb Blue Catfish using Secret 7 yesterday. It was 40 inches
long and 20.5 inches around the noggin.

Funny thing was I had a rod in the
water with a 5 inch Perch on it and never got one hit on it. The Blue didn't hit the Secret 7 hard, it was like he was just sitting there savoring the flavor before I set the hook on your #2 DEAD RED TITAN Treble hooks.

Thanks for the great products!

Secret 7 catfish bait review.

HI MY NAME IS VINNY AND I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR DIP IS AS ADVERTISED. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT NEWS TO YOU. I RECIVED MY STUFF FAST AND WENT OUT THAT NIGHT ON THE DELAWARE RIVER. I BRING TWO RODS CHICKEN LIVERS, WORMS, SHINERS AND THIS TIME SECRET 7. I LOADED MY RED TUBE ON ONE ROD FIRST AND THREW IT IN. I DON’T THINK IT HIT BOTTOM BEFORE I GOT HAMMERD A NICE 5LB CHANEL CAT. THIS WAS THE FIRST NIGHT EVER MY OTHER ROD NEVER MADE IT IN THE WATER. I DID NOT HAVE TIME BETWEEN HITS AND HOOKS. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU SAY AND SAY WHAT YOU DO.

US Catfish Association review!

Review from US Catfish Association forum member FlatheadSteve.

First time with DEAD RED SPRAY!!

Well I ordered this spray last thursday and received it last Saturday (FAST SHIPPING) and decided to give it a try at a new spot with fellow member "lookin 4 moby", anyways we were on a flathead hunt but I decided to cut up a live chub and hit it with this spray just to see what happens.......5 minutes after the cutbait hit the water I noticed a very lite bite so I picked the rod up ready for a aggressive attack from a channel cat but the line slowly started to tighten and I laid down the law! immediatly I knew this was a rather large channel cat for this area or a flathead?.....

I called on brother Preston to retreive the net which he did in a quick manner even though it was 50 yds from us and when he returned The fish surfaced and it was THE FIRST flathead I have ever caught on dead/cut bait in all my years of catfishing!

[1]

None the less I am SOLD on this product and cudos to Jeff for making a great one!

Wasn't a huge flatty at 12lbs but it was my first one cutbait and damn near impossible to do in my area! To give you an example: I fish from April through November 5 days a week and in the last seven years I have witnessed two occasions where cutbait has produced a flathead! Thanks Jeff/TEAM CATFISH

US Catfish Association Report

Fron "sw234 Scott of the US Catfish Association"

I am not one that usually strays from my favorite baits, but recently decided to to try Secret 7. I did so due to its ability to cast it. I normally only use SureShot but it is definitely not the best bait to cast. I caught 10lbs worth of channels in 10 minutes with Secret 7 and continued catching them. Did not use side by side with my favorite straight over the side of boat. Had to stick to what I knew. However, next time I will try both at same time. Bottom line is that all the Secret 7 results posts are accurate. It catches fish! Very impressive.

Trip gets a record!

Team CAtfish,

Here is my son Trip's pending Jr. Angler Record Channel cat from Lewisville in Texas. Here are the details. Official weight was 7.20 lbs and beat out big sister's previous lake record by over 2 lbs. The fish was caught on a Carolina rig baited with a gizzard shad fillet using Dead Red Blood Spray on a 3/0 Double Action circle hook and anchored down by one of Chase's 2 oz. No-Roll sinkers.

[1]

We took the fish to the TPWD Inland Fisheries office in Fort Worth for the official weighing and measuring. Now we're just waiting to get his certificate in the mail. Needless to say, Dad and Mom are quite proud of him.

LAKE RECORD falls at Milford Lake in Kansas!

Hey Team Catfish,

I was talking to Ryan Gnagy the other day and he said I should send you my testimonial.

Well I caught a unofficial lake record blue cat out of Milford lake. I beat the previous record by 4 pounds. The fish toped the scale At 60 pounds.

[1]

Although I would say he is actually a 50 pound body. He just had one heck of a gut on him from eating.

I would say 90% of the bites on Friday (3/26/2010) was on dead red blood spray fished with fresh shad on a 5/0 double action hook. There is just nothing better then dead red in March and April. The stuff works hands down.

[2]

Thanks,

Josh

Kansas wins in Texas!

Team Catfish,

"I just wanted to share with you a couple pictures of CJ Blankenship and I. We won 1st place at the Cabela's KingKat Tournament on Texas Lake Tawakoni.

It had 37 teams entered from 8 different states. Fishing all week was extremly difficult with very few fish been caught. We almost didn't even fish but thought we were there we might as well seems how we made the trip all the way from Kansas.

[1]

The day of the tournament started out very sunny and cold but warmed up to around 60 with 5 mph or less wind. We started out fishing where we had caught some nice fish in 25 foot of water during our prefishing with out any bites and decided to move in to some shallower water close by. We started trolling in 12 foot of water moving out to 16 foot. All of our bites coming in about an hour and nothing from 10:30 on. We were using Team Catfish 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton spinning and casting rods set up with Sinker Slides, Sinker Bumperz, and 8/0 Double Action Hooks. For bait we were using fresh shad heads and gut pockets.

The Floating Fish Gripps make controling the 120.6 pounds of Blue Catfish that we caught really easy.

[2]

Thanks Team Catfish from two very happy fisherman!!!!

Raymon likes the Secret 7!

Hey Team Catfish,

I just ordered some more secret 7 for the second time. Today I went to the local city parked and used it for the first time there and I caught a nice size channel cat 3 1/2 pound. I know that's nothing what you guys get. Normally I go to the river or lakes out here in southern california. I just wanted to say you make the best catfish product.

Thanks Ramon

The BIG CATFISH are in Alabama!

Team Catfish,

Me and my boy hit the water yesterday for a bit of true wintertime catting.....The temp was in the forty's with a 5-10mph east wind with clouds and rain....We made several anchors through out the day with no success...The bite has been off for whatever reason.....We never gave up and just kept hunting for those big blues... This was a day were persistence was key.....The day was just about gone when we finally heard the sound of drag being pulled off one of the reels....What a great sound!!!!!!!I was first to the rod...I got it out of the rod holder and handed it off to my son....Cody having caught several big catfish in the past worked this one like a pro....I was proud of him as we read the scales and they showed us that the massive blue weighed 69lbs....This blue was caught on skipjack in 30 feet of water using Team Catfish double action hook with the sinker slides and bumpers....We also used the Team Catfish fish grips to help handle the big cat more easily...

Thanks for the great products,
Jason Bridges

New Lake Record!!!

This report sent in by catfish guide Cliff Hill

What a month it's been...Chuck fished MCqueeney with me this afternoon. First 7 minutes of the day Team Catfish 1/2 ton doubled over and fight was on. Chuck fought and landed a beautiful 23.7 pd blue, a new water body record and PB for Chuck. Went and got her certified then watched her swim away. Got back to fishing and ended the afternoon around 6 with 10 channels. What a day to spend the afternoon.Big fish came on Team Catfish Double Action 3/0 hook and shad
Still have weekday openings for Oct and Nov....your PB or record could be next!
