I love jug fishing. We been jug fishing in southern Louisiana down in some of them bayous. We hammer the gar down there. Largest was 50+ inches and over 40lbs. Haven't done it for catfish, but sure it would be good from the sounds of it.
We'd use a large treble hook with shad attached with steel leader to the noodle. Lots of time the fish would take off and submerge the noodle like Alpha was saying... we'd use a naked treble on a heavy fishing pole and snag the noodle and reel it it.
The best is how we'd finish them... with a .410 to the head.
Congrats on your catch!
