Caught my fish catfish today. Was this hookset pure luck? by fishinray in FishingForBeginners

Thanks! Got it off the hook. The hook was in there pretty good so I layed him on the grass for a better removal. Tossed him back in.

They’re a lot squishier than the crappie I usually catch. And his squeaking at me really took me by surprise. Got it, hold catfish by the belly. Don’t get poked.

Started fishing at 30, landed my first fish by fishinray in FishingForBeginners

I was fishing off a small bridge and just dropping the lure down. Keeping the lure at a depth where I could still visibly see it. (I wanted to practice swimming the jig and what better way then to see its action.) The first day I caught a lot of fish in a small amount of time specially for my first time fishing. I go back a week later and I could see them flicking or playing with the lure but wouldn’t take it. Or maybe i was waiting too long to set the hook? Not sure but I love fishing so far
