I am going to be fishing in the Big Catfish Splash on Lake Fork, Texas. Do any of you know of a good bait that works. I've been using shrimp the past few years and the biggest cat I've caught was only 5 1/2 lbs. Any big cat baits?

If you are going after flatheads use live bluegills,by hooking them in the fat of the tail.It causes them to appear injured and entices the cats to pursue them.
If you are going after blues or channel cats use cut bait and dont forget to chum with chicken blood.

For the big cats use the following baits.
Shad:
Large piece of cut shad or whole shad if available, get it as fresh as possible.
Perch:
3-4" or larger if you can get them
Shrimp:
Frozen shrimp works well for big cats as well
Beef Heart:
Get a beef heart and cut pieces about the size of a sugar cube, this bait will stay on the hook and they will not steal the bait, it produces big cats.
Circle Hooks, Use circle hooks and be patient
Good Luck
