Got a channel cat casting for kings, then filled a quck limit perching, then nabbed a few bass and pike back in the ditch. Kept one to see how ditch pike is ;)

What is with the Cats? I got one today on 8 color Leadcore trolling at almost 3MPH. He was a big fat cat and took almost 15 minutes to get in. I couldn't believe a cat hit a trolling stick bait.

there is actually a ton of cats out there at certain times. If one were to target them, they could do real well.

Yea he was a big old cat. 400+ feet of leadcore out so it took a bit to get him in. Wish I had a scale to see what it weighed but I would say it was 10 lbs or more. I threw him back after he was in the live well for a bit to ensure he would survive. He swam off in a rush when I put him back.

I Got this one last time we went cat fishing out there, I'm sure you could get into some monsters if you spent enough time fishing for them

Didn't get this guy trolling, but we were targeting smallmouth.

I have a question about the Pike. When did they start showing up in the ditch? I never heard of anyone catching Pike in there until I saw a guy catch one during a bass tournament earlier this year. Shamefully I've never caught a Pike in my life, are there enough of them in there to target them specifically?

I would tend to think they have always been there. You could probably target them specifically, but I would just bass fish and you will catch them. Crankbaits and spinnerbaits specifically. Unlikely to catch any on plastics, but its possible.

I have caught them in the creeks steelhead fishing years ago. Usually while casting spinner baits.
