Catfish. Everybody says put catfish in it. I hate catfish. I don't know why, but I just do. Call it an unhealthy prejudice. Coincidentally, I also hate cats. Maybe there's a connection!

I do appreciate the advice though, and I would consider them more if my bluegill population was getting out of hand. We do cull a fair number of larger bluegill every year with special uses set aside for breeding size females. (They make great bass bait for three to seven year olds)
