Entry 102, Day 1 PHIL KING ON CATCHING CATFISH WHEN THE WEATHER SIZZLES How to Catch River Catfish in Hot Weather EDITOR'S NOTE: Phil King of Corinth, Mississippi, one of the nation's leading catfishermen, has proved his prowess in both national, regional and state catfishing tournaments and derbies.
