[cool][#0000ff]Sportsmans has the 19"X30" basket for about $10. I have had limits of large cats in it before without any "casualties".[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The unhooked bobber pullers were probably white bass. They whack the same baits as cats but usually don't get the hook.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Those bigger kitties do indeed pull you around, and they like to make a couple of circles. That CAN be a problem if you have another line out. I fish with two lines, and I often reel in the second line when I have a runner going on the first rod. Since I have my rod holders set up so that the fish cannot take the rods, I sometimes put the "active" rod in a holder, after hooking the fish, and then reel like crazy to get the second one in out of the way. Just be sure you have the drag set on the fish rod or you can have a "tackle failure". Fun, fun, fun.[/#0000ff]
