26 lbr WOOOOOOOW!

Hi Guys -

I caught a 26.6 lb Blue Catfish using Secret 7 yesterday. It was 40 inches
long and 20.5 inches around the noggin.

Funny thing was I had a rod in the
water with a 5 inch Perch on it and never got one hit on it. The Blue didn't hit the Secret 7 hard, it was like he was just sitting there savoring the flavor before I set the hook on your #2 DEAD RED TITAN Treble hooks.

Thanks for the great products!

Secret 7 catfish bait review.

HI MY NAME IS VINNY AND I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR DIP IS AS ADVERTISED. THIS IS PROBABLY NOT NEWS TO YOU. I RECIVED MY STUFF FAST AND WENT OUT THAT NIGHT ON THE DELAWARE RIVER. I BRING TWO RODS CHICKEN LIVERS, WORMS, SHINERS AND THIS TIME SECRET 7. I LOADED MY RED TUBE ON ONE ROD FIRST AND THREW IT IN. I DON’T THINK IT HIT BOTTOM BEFORE I GOT HAMMERD A NICE 5LB CHANEL CAT. THIS WAS THE FIRST NIGHT EVER MY OTHER ROD NEVER MADE IT IN THE WATER. I DID NOT HAVE TIME BETWEEN HITS AND HOOKS. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU SAY AND SAY WHAT YOU DO.

US Catfish Association review!

Review from US Catfish Association forum member FlatheadSteve.

First time with DEAD RED SPRAY!!

Well I ordered this spray last thursday and received it last Saturday (FAST SHIPPING) and decided to give it a try at a new spot with fellow member "lookin 4 moby", anyways we were on a flathead hunt but I decided to cut up a live chub and hit it with this spray just to see what happens.......5 minutes after the cutbait hit the water I noticed a very lite bite so I picked the rod up ready for a aggressive attack from a channel cat but the line slowly started to tighten and I laid down the law! immediatly I knew this was a rather large channel cat for this area or a flathead?.....

I called on brother Preston to retreive the net which he did in a quick manner even though it was 50 yds from us and when he returned The fish surfaced and it was THE FIRST flathead I have ever caught on dead/cut bait in all my years of catfishing!

[1]

None the less I am SOLD on this product and cudos to Jeff for making a great one!

Wasn't a huge flatty at 12lbs but it was my first one cutbait and damn near impossible to do in my area! To give you an example: I fish from April through November 5 days a week and in the last seven years I have witnessed two occasions where cutbait has produced a flathead! Thanks Jeff/TEAM CATFISH

US Catfish Association Report

Fron "sw234 Scott of the US Catfish Association"

I am not one that usually strays from my favorite baits, but recently decided to to try Secret 7. I did so due to its ability to cast it. I normally only use SureShot but it is definitely not the best bait to cast. I caught 10lbs worth of channels in 10 minutes with Secret 7 and continued catching them. Did not use side by side with my favorite straight over the side of boat. Had to stick to what I knew. However, next time I will try both at same time. Bottom line is that all the Secret 7 results posts are accurate. It catches fish! Very impressive.

Trip gets a record!

Team CAtfish,

Here is my son Trip's pending Jr. Angler Record Channel cat from Lewisville in Texas. Here are the details. Official weight was 7.20 lbs and beat out big sister's previous lake record by over 2 lbs. The fish was caught on a Carolina rig baited with a gizzard shad fillet using Dead Red Blood Spray on a 3/0 Double Action circle hook and anchored down by one of Chase's 2 oz. No-Roll sinkers.

[1]

We took the fish to the TPWD Inland Fisheries office in Fort Worth for the official weighing and measuring. Now we're just waiting to get his certificate in the mail. Needless to say, Dad and Mom are quite proud of him.

BIG BLUES/STRIPERS on 8/0 DOUBLE ACTION!

Hi Jeff and Team Catfish,

April 10th proved to be a great day on the James river as my boat pulled in about 300 lbs of Stripers and around 200 lbs of Cats, never sharpened or lost a hook all day. Here's a couple photos of of a 64.5 blue and a huge 33lb striper!

LAKE RECORD falls at Milford Lake in Kansas!

Hey Team Catfish,

I was talking to Ryan Gnagy the other day and he said I should send you my testimonial.

Well I caught a unofficial lake record blue cat out of Milford lake. I beat the previous record by 4 pounds. The fish toped the scale At 60 pounds.

[1]

Although I would say he is actually a 50 pound body. He just had one heck of a gut on him from eating.

I would say 90% of the bites on Friday (3/26/2010) was on dead red blood spray fished with fresh shad on a 5/0 double action hook. There is just nothing better then dead red in March and April. The stuff works hands down.

[2]

Thanks,

Josh

Kansas wins in Texas!

Team Catfish,

"I just wanted to share with you a couple pictures of CJ Blankenship and I. We won 1st place at the Cabela's KingKat Tournament on Texas Lake Tawakoni.

It had 37 teams entered from 8 different states. Fishing all week was extremly difficult with very few fish been caught. We almost didn't even fish but thought we were there we might as well seems how we made the trip all the way from Kansas.

[1]

The day of the tournament started out very sunny and cold but warmed up to around 60 with 5 mph or less wind. We started out fishing where we had caught some nice fish in 25 foot of water during our prefishing with out any bites and decided to move in to some shallower water close by. We started trolling in 12 foot of water moving out to 16 foot. All of our bites coming in about an hour and nothing from 10:30 on. We were using Team Catfish 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton spinning and casting rods set up with Sinker Slides, Sinker Bumperz, and 8/0 Double Action Hooks. For bait we were using fresh shad heads and gut pockets.

The Floating Fish Gripps make controling the 120.6 pounds of Blue Catfish that we caught really easy.

[2]

Thanks Team Catfish from two very happy fisherman!!!!

Raymon likes the Secret 7!

Hey Team Catfish,

I just ordered some more secret 7 for the second time. Today I went to the local city parked and used it for the first time there and I caught a nice size channel cat 3 1/2 pound. I know that's nothing what you guys get. Normally I go to the river or lakes out here in southern california. I just wanted to say you make the best catfish product.

Thanks Ramon

The BIG CATFISH are in Alabama!

Team Catfish,

Me and my boy hit the water yesterday for a bit of true wintertime catting.....The temp was in the forty's with a 5-10mph east wind with clouds and rain....We made several anchors through out the day with no success...The bite has been off for whatever reason.....We never gave up and just kept hunting for those big blues... This was a day were persistence was key.....The day was just about gone when we finally heard the sound of drag being pulled off one of the reels....What a great sound!!!!!!!I was first to the rod...I got it out of the rod holder and handed it off to my son....Cody having caught several big catfish in the past worked this one like a pro....I was proud of him as we read the scales and they showed us that the massive blue weighed 69lbs....This blue was caught on skipjack in 30 feet of water using Team Catfish double action hook with the sinker slides and bumpers....We also used the Team Catfish fish grips to help handle the big cat more easily...

Thanks for the great products,
Jason Bridges

There is nothing more exciting that watch the TC rods load up with big fish on the other end. Thanks again for making the best products for catfishermen and standing behind them! I attached a few pics of a few of the fish..

New Lake Record!!!

This report sent in by catfish guide Cliff Hill

What a month it's been...Chuck fished MCqueeney with me this afternoon. First 7 minutes of the day Team Catfish 1/2 ton doubled over and fight was on. Chuck fought and landed a beautiful 23.7 pd blue, a new water body record and PB for Chuck. Went and got her certified then watched her swim away. Got back to fishing and ended the afternoon around 6 with 10 channels. What a day to spend the afternoon.Big fish came on Team Catfish Double Action 3/0 hook and shad
Still have weekday openings for Oct and Nov....your PB or record could be next!

New Lake Record Flathead Catfish

Here is a report from catfish guide Tim Smith. Jeff Willaims talked to Tim and sent us this story. Jeff reported that Tim client was using the 1/2 TON casting rod with the 50 lb TUG O WAR braided line and the 8/0 DOUBLE ACTION hooks. Here is the story!

"I fished with the Griggs family today. Tom, Lyle and Russel. We started out just looking around a little bit and then we came up on this spot in the main channel and I seen 3 or 4 nice ... really nice fish suspended about 10 to 15 ft from bottom and seen one that was on bottom that was just as good as those others so I positioned my boat about 30 ft up river from the fish that was on bottom and then tossed out a couple of rods with big live shad right about where I thought they'd be right in front of it's nose. It only took maybe 5 to 10 minutes and one of the rods started dipping down slowly. Lyle jumped and put his hands on the rod and I said reel it! he started crankin and the fish commenced to fighting. Lyle would gain on him continually until the fish got up about 20 ft from the boat and then he really started fighting and putting a real bow in that 1/2 ton rod and drag was slippin like crazy ... zzzzt ... zzzt...zzzzzt and then Lyle would gain on him a little and then the fish would take it back ... all this while I'm messin with Lyle saying stuff like ... what's takin so long daggummit ... are you gonna get that fish in or what? hahaha ... Lyle finally got it up so that I seen my float and then the fish ... It was a lot bigger than I thought it was ... I took three stabs at trying to get it in my net from the back side but when the net touched him he'd take off again ... so then I positioned the net so that it was in front of him and scooped it up.... wasn't no way I was lifting it in the boat so Tom and Lyle wrangled him into the boat. Lyle turned it in for the new lake record program and it stayed in the livewell for 9 hours and lost over 10 lbs. I couldn't believe it'd lost that much so we weighed it again with my scales and they said 42 lbs also. We shoulda took it up there just as soon as we caught it I guess. It'll still be the new lake record flathead.

CA's channel cats love the Secret 7 catfish bait

Team Catfish.........

Impressed!!!!

One of my good buddies invited me fishing two weeks ago. Said he was going to show me how to catch some Cat Fish.

We get to his spot and he takes his, Secret, as he called it and put it in another tube for me. He wouldn't tell me what we were fishing with. I've always been a cut bait person so this red tube with a trebble hook on it was quite different too me.

He showed me how to bait the tube and I honestly was still very skeptical.
Until that hook hit the water....We had one very busy afternoon fishing in a small dirt canal. We caught over 40 Cat Fish on what was an awesome fishing trip.

Needless to say I snuck into his box and remembered the name of this great stuff and ordered every thing I needed from the site!

Here is my stringer from this night!

Very nice size size and one great California Cat Fishing trip!

Big Rossi

Thanks for trying the Secret 7 catfish bait! Keep up the good work!

Secret 7 catfish bait is working much better than livers!

Hey Team Catfish,

I’m Very impressed how well this bait works. I was indeed skeptical when I first saw this but after viewing the testimonials I thought I would give it a try.

I usually fish 2 or 3 times a week, usually from midnight to about 4 am and I use primarily chicken liver. Usually I get small strikes from fish all night nothing real exciting. When I used Secret 7 they go crazy they attack this bait like I’ve never experienced before.
