I’ll teach you a trick. Go get a beef liver from a butcher shop. Sometimes the livers are not good so they toss them. Then go get a gallon paint straining bag, 3 # 10 trebles. I make my own steel leaders with materials from Bass Pro. Place hooks in the liver with one barb on the outside. Place liver in bag and munch it into a ball. So now you have a basketball shaped, sized bait. Drop in a 5 gallon bucket to ripen. Use accordingly. The smaller cat will hit it but only a large one can mouth it.
Good Luck
Wow.
That is way bigger than any fish I’ve ever caught.
What did you use for bait.....depth charges?
I’m glad to hear that you are also doing good medically.
