This week's guest is Lake Tawakoni guide Tony Pennebaker with Thunder Cove Guide Service. Tony has learned that trophy size blue catfish can be caught during late summer and he and his clients have been boating some big ones on freshly caught shad. Late fall and winter is traditionally the big blue season but Tony has tapped into a summer bite that will have many catfish anglers rethinking how they fish for the big ones.
