Found these with either white or yellow crappie jigs in the main channel suspended 5 to 12 feet deep out in 20 feet of water. Always fun. The fish stayed suspended and feeding all day long with an approaching storm, and the associated barometer / pressure dropping. The catfish was up just under the surface chasing food too. All fish released. ****EDIT: That's a blue catfish! *****

Hmmm....it appears the blue catfish got a spawn off in spite of the low water and limited spawning habitat. Nature does find a way...

Thanks Queue, I knew that one looked different(!) than the regular channel cats! New species for me.
