In early summer in the 80's, my friend and I were walking down the shore-line of Lake Isabella w/ our tubes. This was a very wet year, so the lake had risen very high, and covered squirrel holes. I noticed a set of wiskers sticking out of a squirrel hole that was just off of the shore-line and only barely covered by water. I put a worm on the hook and put it in front of the wiskers. I caught nice sized catfish. Wondering if this was a freak thing, I started looking for squirrel holes in the water and found many. Almost every one had a catfish in it. A few weeks later we went back in to the same area to bass fish and the lake had come down a bit and the holes that were still covered had tons of baby catfish in them. Not necessarily a wierd catch, just a very weird way of doing the catching. By the way, the largest one that we caught was just a tad over 6lbs and we caught many, kept a few for dinner, released the rest to be mommy's.
