I've fished for channel catfish my whole life, starting when I was a small child with my father. Ever since, this hobby has remained dear to my heart. We catfishermen understand the rush of emotion, the anxiety that comes with the first hit, and the patience it takes to bring in a deserving catch. Some, however, may find the struggle to catch catfish too over-whelming. I will not promise this book will provide all of the answers one wishes to have, but I promise to provide an adequate amount of information to help the beginner build a usable knowledge base. We all have to start somewhere and I'm providing that "somewhere." ""Catfishing: A Beginners Guide to Catching Channel Catfish"" will inform the reader on the identification of a channel catfish, the proper gear and bait to use, and much more. I hope you enjoy this collection of information and I hope it proves useful in your efforts
