Catawba worms are deadly too. My grandpa would put a Catawba worm (which is basically a catipillar) or two on the hook then a live bream then if you missed hook up with live bait you had another shot. We always did 20% or better overnight and often on a good night 30% hook ups with fish. If we had checked every few hours would have been better as we always had straighten hooks etc

The lake we fished in had good blue cat population I think the biggest we caught was about 30 pounds but it had massive flat heads and we caught several over 50 pounds and I am sure lost a lot of bigger ones.
One of the old timers who regularly caught flat heads over 70 pounds showed me his technique once. He would tie heavy trot line like that black cresote line 400 pound test or so and tie around a old tree in the water along deep spit with lline about 2-3 feet or so off the water and put a few spark plugs or some massive 8 oz lead weights with a 7/0 or so true turn hook with the biggest damn bream you have ever seen hooked in the back set up with the bait about 10-15 feet under the water.
It always seemed like the bream would just wrap around the tree but apparently they don’t. He said they would live a few days like that and he would drive through and if the line wasn’t straight down he knew he had an opp or flat head. He caught hundreds of them.
