The Georgian Bay is full of really big Blue Channel Catfish & we have caught many over the years.
Kenny Turvene Dayton Ohio Large Channel Catfish Georgian Bay
All you have to do is put out a live fish on a bobber at your campsite & leave it out overnight.
Tie your pole down or it will be gone in the morning.
The best place to catch them is below falls or rapids of any type fishing at night.
They hit night crawlers or minnows or any type of live fish or crawdads, etc.
Duke Dice Forty Pound Channel Catfish Georgian Bay
The catfish my son caught could be a record at 40 pounds as they do not list Blue Catfish as a species in Ontario which would make it a channel catfish for sure & probably one of the biggest ever taken.
I doubt that we even thought about it at the time.
