March 27, 2007, Shabbona Channel Catfish release clip by Kevin Wakeman MD

March 27, 2007. Joey and I hit Shabbona Lake State Park in northern Illinois for the first time in 2007. Bass fishing was slow , so we caught some nice channel catfish. All released. Just for fun, I tossed them into the big muskie net (52 inch deep bag), and left it hanging in the water to act as our catfish "Livewell" until we tossed them back. Joey loved it, and the channel cats seemed quite content sitting in the giant net.

is that lake shabbona in illinois ? also i would like to know what bait you were using as well.

Gulp brand fake chicken livers, once the water warms up I switch to real livers. Why?? Don't know . That's just how the bite works on this lake.

Too lazy to clean fish, wife refuses to eat them, and it makes them easier to catch the next time I hit the lake !!!!
