Luke 26 Moorhead
I am from a small town in northern Minnesota. I grew up on a lake and never tried to catfish until I was in my early 20's.
Catfishing was brought to my attention from my good friend on a sunny day in Grand Forks. The first 2 days I went out we got 44 channel cats, with 36 of them over 30" , since that day I have been hooked and always striving to learn more every day!
I once landed 1000+ lbs of channel cats in 2 days

Once landed 2,100 pounds of catfish in Grand Forks in 2 days.

Tim Gruchow 21 I started fishing for catfish when I moved to Fargo three years ago. My brother suggested we should try it since he heard Deuce was catching big ones in the Red. Though I'm from the same town as Deuce, I haven't met him until recently. After fishing with him, I realized his tips are invaluable and no doubt have improved my catches especially for bigger cats. I'm excited for this summer and will try to go fishing as much as possible!

Corey 38 Kearney, Nebraska
I grew up fishing Harlan Count Reservoir in South Central Nebraska. We fished for whatever was biting. We chased cats quite a bit, but never really chased big cats. Big bluegills are my first love.
Started chasing big channels 3 or 4 years back for an online contest. After researching the water in my area we found a hidden gem of a lake at a State Park. My first fish out of that lake was 36". After that, I was pretty much hooked. Experiencing the power of a 30-inch plus fish is an indescribable feeling!

Lewis Deitchler 22 Fago ND
I grew up in Park Rapids MN. Moved to Fargo ND a few years ago, and now own my own flooring installation company out of Fargo and the funnest thing to do to unwind is to hit the Red River and catch some monster Channel Catfish!
I started fishing Channel Catfish to cure the miss of all the lake fishing around Park Rapids! It just so turns out they were the funnest fish I had caught in my life, and I was instantly hooked. I would still be catching little guys if it wasn't for Deuce!

Lonnie Johnson 34 Fargo ND
I grew up in a small town Minto ND over by Drayton which is Catfish Heaven. I grew up with fishing and hunting and have been fishing along the banks or the Red River all my life catching huge catfish. Haven't done much fishing since I moved to fargo over the last 10 years but recently got back into going back over to the Drayton area and have been doing some catfishing. Anyone ever cares to join me, let me know. Thank.
