      I just catch these on very light line with a super flex rod and release afterwards. They are great fun to catch. I suppose they would make great bait for catfish ...more or perhaps other large predator's.

      Do you mind me asking if you fished the bank or a boat? I'm having horrible luck most likely because I'm new around here and don't know the ropes or ...more spots..
