After storms all night and rain most of the day, baseball was canceled so we decided to go Catfishing. Our bait tonight was cheesy hotdogs with garlic. We used new rod holders. Since I (Kathy) have zero patience, I took mine out of the holder and caught mine in a channel by casting and reeling. Bobby used the rod holder and it worked great, to his surprise, and landed his big one. I (Bobby) have always wondered how these automatic hook set rod holders worked and tonight I put it to the test. After I casted out on the bottom with my "go to" bait for catfish I walked away to fish for cats with my other pole with a float set around 4' deep. I saw this in action, setting the hook and holding my pole from being pulled into the water. The true test was the cat was just shy of 6 pounds and the hook set was excellent, the spring action kept the tension on until I could reel it in. Bobby finally got to use his Father's Day gift!
