You know it's also funny how a real danky Cheese also can work as Catfish bait; I have found a strain on Leafly called Catfish, and got all excited, but I've literally never even seen it LOL.
Apparently the DNR of..... It's in the Catfish Insider edition of In-Fisherman from last year, can't remember which DNR, but when they used Cheese in a cage to catch Catfish and check numbers and whatnot LOL. I can imagine if I lost my mind and actually put some Blue Cheese on a Hook I'd probably land a Channel Cat LOL!
I have a container of congealed Chicken Blood I use to bring Catfish in, and the smell is pungent, but I'm willing to bet that I've got weed that would drown that smell right out haha!
Imagine catching a state record Channel Cat, and the DNR is like "So what did you catch him on ??"......... then you gotta somewhat lie your ass off and be like "Experience....." dots and all so they don't push the issue LOL!
