We have snakehead and large bowfin by me. The best water to find them is in your hot muddy and weed choked backwaters using weedless bass bug and top water deerhair patterns. Often some of the larger fish are taken in areas one wouldn't suspect to hold any sort of fish. For the large ones try running mice at night.

I've been using these panfish hooks to catch everything freshwater lately, long shank small hooks.

Crickets and minnows. The picture looks like what I use, the hook gap on mine is like really small. 2 lbs catfish will bend them up but stay hooked and if they swallow the long shank helps get it out easier. The hookset is great on these

Long shank is only bad because its easier to gut hook fish which is why you get fish "swallowing the hook" where as your more rounded hook typically hooks fish in the corner of the outside the mouth. For your catfish I would certainly use some type of circle or octopus hook as theyll automatically set the hook when the cat runs with the bait. For cricket I typically use a size 22 egg hook or nymph hook and live line them out under a nymphing indicator. It's important to use these type of hooks as they are necessary to hide the hook. Additionally the cricket has to be presented floating in the surface film in a natural drag free drift to entice the most line and lure shy fish. The larger fish have seen every type of lure and bait but a naturally floating cricket or hopper is never refused. These live terrestrials such as cricket and hopper can simply not be beat in nid to late summer and fish can often be seen waiting close to shore near tall grass or brush stands waiting for them to fall into the water. One technique used by the old timers is to float the cricket or hopper out on a leaf. Then the moment it reaches the honey hole strike zone the angler twitches the line causing the wieghtless bug to slash onto the surface right on their nose. Again the trick is to add no to minimal wieght to the line but still be able to reach fish casting or otherwise. Remember they can be quite delicate so avoid whipping them casting. Even with a spinning rod the classic lefty kreh bow and arrow cast can be effective on your smaller creeks. It's important also to hook them properly thru the plate like portion of thorax.

Chief, did you know that a blue whale’s fart bubble is large enough to completely encapsulate a fully grown adult horse? Those are animals worth saving man!

How long did you watch it before you started recording? Looks bigger or closer than what I've seen, interesting for sure.

I could see it clearly with binoculars. I searched some images on google and this is exactly what it was

I saw at least 4 a week or two ago in the middle of the night like they were patrolling and forming a grid. Triangles an even distance apart with a given area of free movement. I used a tree for perspective to track their movements so I know my eyes weren't all jittery and they were so bright in the sky they were the only sources of light my shitty phone camera could pick up but I don't have a steady hand. The skies are very clear here. If I bought an actual high quality low light camera and a tripod I would be famous. I wasn't even the only person to witness this. Space Force or aliens, whatever it is they're forming up. The only way they could have been drones, based on my perspective and how they were moving, they would have had to have been literally monitoring my position.
If I held a ruler above my head to gauge the distance between them it would have easily been 3'.
