Beautiful lake scenery from atop. The clear blue sky makes the water mesmerizing. Thanks for another good video, Jeff. Looks like some good eating size catfish.
Jeff do you have a Instagram or Facebook? It can help us get your RU-vid out there more. You do some great vids. Have you ever tried fished Gillespie Dam in Arlington? It’s some good fishing out that way too.
I use mono line so it's gonna stretch when I set the hook, and I cast a long way away from me. if it's a bigger fish I'll know as soon as I set the hook like that. lol

If a circle hook was used, don't need to really set the hook on them. If you use live bait like skipjack herring, gizzard shad, or bluegill, you'll just need to set your drag loose enough to let the catfish take the bait. Once that is achieved and the rod tip starts bending, then you will just need to reel it in while tightening the drag if necessary. The design of the circle hook will set in the corner of the catfish's mouth and will hook in it without the need of setting the hook, if you know what I mean.
Mr. Jeff that was some great catches of fishes but where is your brother you and him need to fish the lake together so, please keep posting them great video
No there is a section of the lake that is called the flats it just like what you saw in the video it’s where you can park your truck right there next to the water
