good luck on your quest for a river monster, far as advice you arent going to beat the ohio river for big catfish! through the years i've caught 4 that would go 70lbs plus, biggest being a flathead 80lbs, far as bait skipjack, and or shad is my fav far as tackle 9ft med/ heavy action rods 6000 abu, amb reels 30lds test biggame trilene line.

in southern ky there is green river limb line or trout line then go below Barkley and Kentucky **** heavy polls heavy weights and big live bait hold on my grandfather use to go several times a year as he worked on barges til he retired and has pictures of blues channels and flates all over 75lb range and bigger he was a master at this and remember stories of it i bass fish to much to take the time out and try it but he spoke heavy about for years
