Other than going to Lake Michigan or fishing one of the few lakes in this area which have been stocked with muskies, catfish offer the best chance for an angler to hook, land or boat a truly big fish in the Midwest. Most numerous are channel cats and channels over 10 pounds are often caught. That’s a big cat but one doesn’t have to travel far to find flat heads and/or blue cats which can be four or five times that size.
