(Chicken liver) old fisherman useing chicken liver

There's an old school catfish fisherman I met on the side of the river bank yesterday - and he's one of those real private guys, doesn't even want me to tell you his name... so I won't.

I'll jump right into it. This guy makes a chicken liver bait that is the single most powerful bait he's ever seen for catfish (especially channel cats).

Here's how he does it:

He takes 2 - 3 tubs of chicken livers and drains the juice off of them. Next, he lays them out on the concrete and covers them with garlic salt.

Then he lets them dry out a little bit either overnight or few a few hours in the hot sun. Don't let them try out too much though, just a little.

Next, put them in zip lock bags and dump more garlic salt all over them... then put them all in the freezer and freeze them. This will toughen up the chicken liver so that it stays on the hook better - because historically chicken liver doesn't stay on the hooks very well..

Then, go out fishing and hold on tight. Catfish (especially channel cats) will not be able to resist!
