Catfishing - Big Ridge State Park - Tennessee

A lot of fun can be had in Tennessee State Parks! Joe and Billy go to Big Ridge State Park in search of some cat fishing fun. Joe deploys the bait drop boat to get our catfish bait out in the depths. It's not long be they start getting runs! On this night only a soft shell turtle and channel catfish are caught, others were on but got off including a giant catfish that pushed Joes tackle to its limits. #catfish #catfishing #fishing #tennessestateparks #stateparkfishing #baitboat #bigridgestaepark #talkinboutoutdoors

I'm going for catfish next week. If you didn't have cut bait or live bait, what would you use? (chicken, spam, etc.)

Some sort of stink bait, chicken livers, night crawlers, chicken etc…. Things like that will usually do the trick.
