In the past 20 years, pursuit of catfish, particularly the larger flathead and blue species, has become a technical endeavor.

Keith Sutton, one of the most experienced catfishers in America, shows how to locate, target, attract, and catch big, big catfish—and numerous color photos throughout prove this is within every angler’s ability. He distills years of catfishing know-how, his own and that of his sources, into a fun and visually enjoyable instructional volume that offers plenty of ideas on how to improve or customize current tactics, and how to catch some seriously big fish. In addition, he offers instruction for the farm-pond and local-river angler looking to nab some bullheads and channel catfish for the grill.
