Thanks...

I'll probably loose the trebles when I run out of them... I have seen some single dough hooks online at bass pro.

I have been using circle hooks that's what is confounding.

I went out last night and I caught 2 more medium ones (for the Ottawa) 4-5 lb range and the circle hooks worked perfectly.... Go figure.

I may have to plan a night on the St. Lawrence to see if I can get a bigger one there.

I have got about 25 catfish this year and all the medium ones I am catching now are in the 4-5 pound range at 6 or 7 different locations in Ottawa. I am trying get into the 2nd and 3rd standard deviation of the catfish demographic from shore but I seem to be stuck. Above average for the region (2-4 being average) but I am looking for bigger.
