I catch this guys quite often at West Coast. They can stay alive outside water for an extreme long time. Once, we caught one at 9 pm and dumped it into the box. but when we reached home at 4am in the morning, it was still alive. :shocked: They dont give fight de. when u reel them up they just wiggle abit =P
I wanna catch a big fish~~~~

Yea, it certainly can if it's night time, the temperature is cool and the air is moist. :) These catfish usually come in a school, I usually cast a different spot or change the fishing spot entirely if I hit a second one. :lol:

They're not fussy eaters, that's for sure. Being in groups, feeding is usually competitive and you gotta grab what you spot first!
