300 Pounds of CATFISH in 1 Trip Challenge (24 Hours at Fish Camp) 

27 years ago GA firearm opening weekend, which was this past weekend. I got shot with a .410 slug by a kid playing with a gun at hunting camp. I'm lucky to be here for sure. Glad you fought through Tommy! Took me 10 years to get back into hunting.

GOD bless you brother! That was a miracle. So glad you made it. The ALMIGHTY CREATOR kept you here.

That's a wicked and miraculous story. Tommy was absolutely blessed that day and every other after and JT is also a miracle. Wow

61 now but as a young man I was privileged to have my dad take me on hunting and fishing trips all over Washington, Alaska, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, and Canada. I have been shot at 3 times, once semi unintentionally by rabbit hunters using rifles on San Jaun Island which at the time was shotgun only (and may still be), and twice by "Sound Hunters" while Elk hunting in the Cascade Mountains. The last time was a barrage of bullets from 3 hunters and I was struck in the face from tree splinters from a bullet that hit a tree a foot from my head. The only thing that saved both my Dad and myself was that it was a heavily wooded area and most of the bullets were stopped by trees. My Dad and I were wearing orange vests on all three occasions, I have not been back in the woods during ANY hunting season in over 30 years. I don't understand how anyone can be so irresponsible as to shoot at something from a sound, or a movement in the bushes or whatever, when they obviously didn't even identify the target to know if its legal to kill, much less pick the shot placement for a humane kill. ALL hunter shootings should be investigated as a crime, if you were shooting at a sound or movement you were at best poaching as you had no idea what you were shooting at and should lose all hunting privileges as you are a danger to every other hunter out there. I am not a lawyer so I don't know all the terms, but shooting someone "accidentally" like this man was shot should be a negligent criminal charge of some kind. I may be extreme, but when you have bullets whistling past your head you get a different opinion.

Hunting or fishing, I started taking along a IFAK years ago once I got trained as a police officer. I realized I needed blood loss control soon the off chance of an accident/animal attack in such remote locations. I would suggest a tourniquet and quik clot and some training for the gear. It is better to have and never need. I'd glad it all worked out and your are better. I've been recently started shopping for satellite rescue beacons, the areas in Everglades National Park has no cell service like 5 minutes entering the park or when going off shore.

That gator trick, scared the crap out of me. Boy took a year off my life best part about your videos as you include your sons on everything that’s awesome.

What a story. Brought back a memory of my Grandfather who was shot through the chest and came out his back in WW1. Laying face down, when they came to collect dog tags. When they flipped him over, he told them I'm not dead yet. Sent him to hospital , where he got infections 3 times but pulled through. Military on the 3rd infection sent a letter to Grandma saying they didn't expect to make it. A month later she gat a letter from him telling her he would be home in a month. Passed away in 1966 at 71 yrs old. Still had a big sunken hole in his back.

Tommy is a walking testimony of God's Grace ! Thank you Jesus for your Mercy and Grace ! And also to let Tommy live to tell us about !

God bless you,just like he blessed ya brother dearmear for dinner,you guys are wonderful,good people,you deserve all the blessings God can give,much love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤❤❤

He's your friend BG that makes him my friend too . I am happy for him to have made it out of the swamp and he's back doing his thang with you and his Son 💯😎🙏😇👍

I'm in California 68 years old awesome videos I don't know how often you go in and get your skin check being out in the sun if you haven't it's time to go in be safe so I can continue to watch you Steve

You're a tough man Mr Tommy. I'm glad you're still with us.

This place is where I call home, the Altamaha is where I learned to swim, hunt and fish. Gardi is about 8 miles outside of Jesup where I live but we usually fish that area. Im surprised they didnt catch and blues and that was a hell of a nice channel cat. I cant say Tommy and I are close but I have met him and I remember when this happened. It was pretty big news around Jesup at the time. Nice to see him doing good and teaching his son about the river as it can be extremely dangerous for those who dont respect it, hell it can be dangerous for those who do respect it. If any of you do come down to fish the Altamaha do us a big favor and carry out just a little more trash than you carry in to help keep this beautiful waterway thriving

How many of you go cat fishing

Thanks for the story Tommy. Amazing. I'm happy your still here and hunting again.

Need a video with you and deer meat for dinner asap I’m sure the fans want to see something special ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Yep the lord said he wasn’t done yet ! Amazing story!

Wow, Robert's Brother!! Am a fan of your brother's channel. I remember those days when you didn't have a channel and now closing on a Million. And now you here. Am proud of man. Keep it up.

Thank God Tommy is still with us. In 1996 when i was 19 i had a brand new Sea doo and my parents had a lake house in Alabama.my best friend and cousin and a few more people all had sea doos and we were gonna ride that sunday. mine was in the boat house. It wouldnt start at first. Anyway, mine exploded and broke my back and my neck. Id have drown if not for my buddies dragging me out of the water.

GOD IS GREAT. BLESSING TO TOMMY, GABE YOU KEEP ROCKIN. CTAFISH,DELICIOUS FISH & CHIP👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣

Awesome video,,,one of your very best!!!!!!!

The only thing I worry about fishing is overfishing, it worries me, I'm not talking about you Gabe, I'm talking about people in general,💪😎💯

Thank God Tommy lived to tell what happened and teach people how very important identifying your target and hunters orange is. To live after getting hit in the chest with a .308, that's a tough man right there and it weren't your time. I got shot in the leg with 6 shot rabbit hunting but luckily my Carharts ate most of the pellets up. Happy hunting everyone and for the love of God be safe out there.

An old cast iron bathtub makes a good holding tank,if you put it in shallow water. Thank you for the video and please stay safe

Circle hooks and checks at least every 4 hours. They will work themselves off the hooks over time. Put up some good numbers!!

I will never understand how someone could possibly mistake an upright walking human for a deer through a scope and somehow think its not only a deer but that theyre making an even halfway ethical shot?

Very nice. I did chuckle when you said it was cold. 34* here this mornin😂. Can’t imagine takin a .308 to the chest. Bless you sir.👍🏼

Dang, the story is nuts 🥜 🔩

If you want a real good fire in Gabe, all you have to do is get a beer keg cut it in half. They also make good shrimp cookers and they also make damn good crab cookers hello from the Beautiful Southern, Maryland🦀🦀🦀🎣🎣

Wow that is one lucky feller that walked away with a .308 shot to the chest! That WAS divine intervention! GREAT VIDEO Gabe!

Holy Smokes, what a storey. Very few people live from a shot to the chest from a .308! God was looking out for this man! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇

Hey Gabe, maybe you need to take JT noodling he would love that😂😂😂

gabe what a story god bless that mans heart for surviving it gives me chills thinking about it God was truly with him glad he gained enough courage to go back with his son it made for a great viedo ..

Hey Gabe amazing video. Can we get a deermeat collab

So many my's Gabe. Pro drive, rental, etc. Stay humble

I bought some catfish nuggets from Ingles for less than $2.50 a lb. Shook them up in a bag of Paco Italian flavored , and baked them in the oven on 400 degrees for 20 minutes and I was amazed at how good they turned out . Easy peasy Lemon squeezy . StaleKracker ain't got nothing on y'all when it coes to catching catfish

Loved the video! Awesome story about Tommy!

Love seeing you out catching flatheads see you at the next video. Tio Joey

Good to see you b Almost back to 100% 💪

Thumbs up for the cool cooler

Blessings, Tommy!❤❤❤

Looks like they need to use some boat ramp fees on that boat ramp! Great content as always!

Great job, Congratulations 🔨 🔨

God bless mr Tommy 🙏🏽

65° and Gabe looks like he's fishing in Alaska! 😂

I grew up going to Grandmas on the weekends in Georgia, and caught a lot of fish on the Altamaha!

Amen brother glad you here with us 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thank the Lord your friend made it from the gun 🔫 shot😊 thank you for explaining the differences on the hooks. Id be more than happy to except some fish and/or game from you 😊. I'm living in south Georgia know. Also I grew up in Wyoming and just happen to know we're there are 1 or 2 cat dens at 😊 stay safe out there 😊

Been watching since the beginning and still my favorite go-to channel on RU-vid.

God Bless Tommy He's a Beast

The river is LITERALLY part of his blood. Respect.

Congrats! Way to tough it out Nate. That awkward hood ornament was attracting those big red girls 😂

so happy that you are helping a community with you catch, that is a true blessing for people for the church community

That's too bad about Mr. Tommy. It's a miracle that he survived. Orange vests, etc. are no substitute for staying switched on. Hunters (or anyone shooting anything) would do well to remember, and practice, the Parachute Riggers Code: "I will be sure - ALWAYS!"

Gabe, yes I agree to God was on his side. But you know what those hunters that shot him or as fault because rule of thumb is see what you're shooting at so they know that they didn't see no deer. They just heard somebody moving and it took a shot thing and it was a beer. But the main thing is thank God he's alive. I'm glad to see that

Love your vids keep it up from Louisiana

FINALLY a gabe video

Absolutely ❤ x 💯 this Video/Channel. Watching from Surrency, Georgia ❤❤❤ the Altamaha River Georgia

Very nice fish, really enjoy watching

Oh wow, that was a sheer miracle. I'm sure glad ya lived to tell the story Tommy!!!

Blue Gabe have you ever used ivory soap for bait. When I was coming up we used it in the river on catfish lines and we caught some big blues on it. We cut the soap in about one inch squares. I’m 72 years old now and I have not been in the river to try it again. That was back in my teen years my dad would take us and we would go camping at the river. I will give anything to be in a boat with my dad again it just brings back memories when I see someone in a boat do that. God bless you all and may you all be safe

I came up with 120 pounds but I failed math a few times. Mr Tommy were sure glad you're still with us sir!! GOD IS GOOD!!! Great video boys!! I prefer miss Crystal to be there but ya know that's alright 😂😂😂

If it ain’t your time to go than it ain’t your time to go man what a legend much respect

What a awesome story, Tommy is a blessed man !

We use reflector tape. Works great at night.

I see all these comments about people from up north talking about Gabe over dressing for the climate he's in! What most people, from the north who don't spend time in the Southeastern Untied States, don't understand is that in the south we have this thing called humidity.... Makes a big difference! Everybody is different! 😂

Thank God that Tommy is still around!

Gabe we’ve hooked some that straightened circle hook but your right circle is best way to go

What a story! Grateful to still have you Tommy!

This video is goin to the top!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 already over 500,000 views!!!! Awesome!! Looks like a great time!

Not sure why, but out of all your videos the catfishing ones are by far my favorite.

Thank God you lived Sir..take care ❤

I only use circle hooks when fishing live bait..except for pan fish 🐟 use a smaller worm hook

Growing up with fire ants in South Georgia, the perfect relief after being stung by ants and bees is plain bleach. I keep a small amount with me everywhere outside.

Man what a great video love some Flat Heads. Good eaten.

Got-o-mighty what a story!!! Wow!!!

Awesome Job guys!

Great video!!! Nothing wrong with any of those fish. All decent eating size.

Orange, more orange and absolutely identify your target. Lucky man.

God blessed Tommy..

God bless you guys!

Good times and a great story about tommys hunting accident. Buddy, I'd fish and hunt with these fellas any day of the week.

Fantastic video and a bunch a good eatin !!!

Thats good fishing!

incredible story and what a tough guy to pull through all of that… someone to admire certainly

Red river in Selkirk was my favorite thing when I was a kid used leopard frogs!

Good friend of mine was doing deer drives in the Finger Lakes Region of Upstate New York with a gang of hunters back in the 80's. They drove up on a very small corner wooded lot that was known to hold deer. The first truck rounded the corner and the driver got out when he spotted a deer from the road. My buddy, a U.S. Navy Sailor home on leave for hunting season was a passenger in his brothers little pickup truck when they pulled up to the woods just before the turn. He was reaching for his shotgun when he caught a slug through the windshield to his right shoulder. The shooter didn't see the truck through the woods. They drove him to the hospital and he survived but he was maimed for the rest of his life. He was given an honorable discharge from the navy and carried on what seemed like a normal happy life for almost 3-decades before taking his own life a dozen or so years ago. He was one of the toughest guys - pound for pound, that I ever knew! #BuckFever

I bet those catfish would like a mullet as much as a crawdad.

Wish we could line fish like that ,up here in Wisconsin 😅

Sheeesh...308.. Glad u made it Tommy 🙏🏽

Being from about 3½hr directly north of there, i can FEEL what the weather is there from watching this video lmao and i gotta say gabe, im a little jealous. Lmao. I left home for a reason. But seeing this weather kinda makes me miss it. 🥺🥺 i wouldn't leave IRC, FL to save my life at this point though. 😂😂

OnX missing out by not sponsoring you. they have a solid product as long as you have solid cell service where you hunt/fish

That is totally God right there. Need to give credit where credit is due.

As a Canadian seeing gabe wear a beanie in 65 degree weather is hilarious

Good evening beautiful people ❤I enjoy watching your channel u are amazing keep up the good work

Damn...Miracles happen...Safety first always.

Gabe ya'll don't worry about cotton mouths falling out of the trees into the boat with you ?
