After watching your last Live bait video, i carried my son and daughter out and we called it a “Old school live bait day”. Dug worms, caught bait and slammed 10 catfish and 1 bass. Thanks for the reminder of the simple ways to enjoy fishing. Keep up the great content.
I can see you've never lost a rod and reel into the deep abyss of a lake with a giant fish attached. I lost a brand new spinning rod in a little boat at Lake Amador in CA to a massive trout because I turned my back for one second. The way it whipped out of the boat and got pulled under gives me nightmares. I don't think I'll ever leave a rod unattended or unsecured again.
A little piece of advice, as an avid snook fisherman I’ve worked giant snook out of pilings before. And when they get on the piling you actually loosen your drag to limit fray and tension therefore less chance of breaking.
Haven_ depending on the time of the year a bigger fish will only exert energy for one giant meal rather than trying to eat goldfish crackers all day. They usually pick the 10 ounce sirloin
funny when youtubers that dont know what they are doing catch "monster catfish" come on down to st francis river where it runs into the mighty mississip. Ill show you what real catfish look like
You should go bank fishing but flip live baits without weights or bobbers on structure and let them sit for like 20 seconds and recast so it more active, and you would definitely catch more fish. Loving the live bait videos though!
Watching you and fletcher sparked a fire that I haven't had in a while, usually just use shiners up here but you guys are awesome! Keep catching the big ones!
Definitely need a barrel swivel, them big ol cats roll like gators! I usually put the swivel 2 foot up then tie 12-15 braided as a lead off the swivel! They like to go through all sorts of junk helps having abrasion resistant line! Great Video Though! Fish On! 🎣
Will you thank the man in the Army shirt for his service and tell him I appreciate his sacrifice for us to be able to enjoy the liberties we love such as fishing and binge watching @KickinTheirBASSTV
I've done a lot of live bait fishing in ponds and I have some tips that I use if you want to try. I use a way bigger cork than what you used and I put brim about a ft or less below the cork. Trying to keep it close to the top of the water. The brim I use is no bigger than your 4 fingers. I've caught a ton of huge bass like that. I've always used big wide gap hooks never tried a circle hook but I'll try those.
Just wanted to stop by and say thank you for the amazing fishing tips. Used what I learned from you to catch my pb at 5lb 11oz on the trusty white and chartreuse chatter donk with the white and pearl paddle tail. Huge shoutout man keep up the great content.
One of the best live baits in fresh and brackish water are fat sleeper gobies...in my experience..superior to mud minnows, shiners and even finger mullet. I've landed huge speckled trout, reds, largemouth, channel cats and even stripers. Easily caught in most freshwater/brackish creeks, streams, ditches that branch off rivers or large creeks from coastal (not literally on coast but slightly inland fresh and brackish creeks) NC all the way to Tx. Minnow traps, cast nets, hand nets and small hook/line with piece of worm, shrimp or bread work well. Also make excellent aquarium fish and aquarium enthusiasts will pay top $$ for them.
LMAO, are you kidding me,😆. You boys still have alot to learn about fishing with live bait for bass. Lol, and country boys use live gold fish and blue gills to catch 3 to 100 pds cat fish, lol yes sir a lot to learn. Lol even country girl get down into the river and reach down and put their hand up to their arm in a big cats mouth to pick him up, 😆 and your warning that a cat will break your hand, 😆. I guess girls are right WHERE HAVE ALL THE MEN GONE? 😆
Channel cats like to play with their food before eating it. Hook that cut bait a little lower to keep them from stealing it off the hook and wait till it bends the rod for 2-3 seconds before reeling down on it.
I love the videos, spend alot of time watching them! The whole YT crew is awesome. Can you please do a nighttime Bass fishing video with maybe a couple tips?! Thanks for all you do, appreciate it!!!
I love these types of videos makes me remember the older days with my Dad. I always love coming home and seeing ur vids. You are so inspirational and I love ur videos. Keep grinding man.
