Rippin Lips was originally formed to bring our unique catfish bait (Leakin Livers) to the catfishing market.  We have now evolved as a company, and in addition to our line of fishing products geared toward the catfishing market, we also offer products that are suited for any type of fishing. Our thrust is to offer quality products that are extremely effective for the everyday fisherman at affordable prices.  Please continue to watch our web site for new products.  They are being added every day.

Effective January 1, 2010, Catfish Authority has entered into an agreement to merge with Rippin Lips LLC.  The products from Catfish Authority will be marketed and sold under the Rippin Lips name and logo.

Catfish Authority, owned and operated by John Jamison and Kirk Kellough of Kansas, has successfully marketed products for the catfishing industry for the past 2 years.  John and Kirk will continue to develop new products to bring to market and promote the  Rippin Lips name.

The products and market recognition of Catfish Authority will solidify the current line of Rippin Lips products, creating an even stronger company. Additionally, John and Kirk bring 50 plus years of combined catfishing experience, enabling a strong presence and higher visibility among catfishermen. John is well known in catfishing circles as a Professional  Angler and has spoken at many seminars across the country.   John will continue his guide service, accessible through the Rippin Lips site.   Kirk is also a Professional Catfish angler, and is currently on the GAMMA Pro staff.
