For a canal grand slam I think you need a saltwater catfish
I need a fishing spot line that.
Come on over.
Everything is downsized on the canal.
Just right so as not to tire ya out.

Also my son holdin it.
NOW, thats real Bamboo tree wood your lookin at here.
I'll work on the catfish. Just have to let the shrimp baits mellow for a few days.![]()
I caught some small freshwater fish when I was a kid using bamboo rods
Also I might have caught a canal catfish on a bamboo rod when I was kid also. I was fishing with my dad and older brother aboard an aluminum boat with no motor and we caught 2 catfish and 2 crabs total I think... but I don't remember if I caught something.
I only remember after we returned the rental boat my dad bought a crab trap for us and we caught some
Good memories
like ra said great bait they used to eat them also and were called sailors choice when they are real big..caught lots of groupers on them! nice work on the slam though!
