Fishing With Shrimp For BIG Catfish! 

Remember, we don't lose fish, we have 'happy accidents'

That is a crazy accurate description. Love it.

I agree 👍

@@bladerunner8832 haha that’s gold

hahahahaha great example

That’s awesome! My 15 month old daughter loves it when we put my videos on the TV! Except she cries when I release the fish lol

@@ndyakangler wow I'm so happy for you I had no idea you had a 1 year old of your own, I haven't had the time to get as much fishing in, I don't have a lot of freetime. How on earth do you manage to put everything into your agenda?

@@bigwitedelite2900 I’m lucky my parents live a couple miles away and they’ll watch her while my girlfriend is at work if it’s nice enough to get out and fish.

@@ndyakangler that's so nice of them, I love that you replied to my comment so fast. Makes me feel like a worthy watcher. I truly do think my stepson will be better at fishing then me because of your videos. I've learned so much about certain gear setups from you. I'd love to see a topwater frog video, how to fish them and the set up you'd use.

👏🏼 That’s awesome…. 💯

I had to reply to your comment. About 35 years ago I took my then 3 to 4 year old son fishing in the Turtle River near its entrance into the Red River. I gave him a small jig to toss thinking he would stay out of my hair. Lo and behold he catches a 3 pound catfish and a 10 pound carp. I still have the picture in a frame. And, yes, my son is now twice the fisherman than I ever was.

@@ronaldkulas5748 what a great fishing story!!

@@ronaldkulas5748 I bet your son was super happy that day, it's something about fishing that motivates a happy lifestyle.

​@@bigwitedelite2900 I totally agree. It also helps to give a great sense of inner-peace. It's the best thing my parents ever introduced me to. Fishing was my biggest passion up until I was fourteen. Back then, I took my only three rods (nice setups acquired through birthdays and Christmases) and gear to a good friends apartment to fish his local pond one day. I left it there so we could fish again in the coming week, but it turns out that his mother was unhappy with his schooling and personal life, so out of the blue she sent him out of state to his grandparents later that week to "visit," but really just used it as an excuse to move him there. She moved out of their apartment while he was at his grandparents and it turns out that my friends little brother lied and told his mom that the rods were his, which I'm sure she knew they weren't because they popped up out of nowhere and he had never owned multiple setups before; so that speaks to their character at the time. But unfortunately I never was able to get them back and I was unable to replace it all at my young age. I found guitar shortly after and a deep passion in that as well, and I followed a path with it instead. I long considered myself a musician first and foremost between the ages of 14 and 30, but after getting back into the sport of fishing for the past 4 years, I've come to understand that I am an angler before a musician. Not all, but much of my music comes from a place of pain that I've experienced in life. Somehow fishing and nature alleviate the weight on my shoulders instead of adding to it or taking me back to a darker place I once was at in life. It fills me with a very pure sense of peace (unless I'm momentarily frustrated from casting into a tree or something, lol). I hope that your stepson finds his love for it and his peace in it as well. And I hope the same for you too, if you haven't already.

@@jamescanady3442 that was a really great thing you said man, excellent story, kind of sucks that kid jipped you out of your stuff, but on the other hand, coming back to fishing and finding out that it's your true calling is of some other NATURE!! I wish to branch out and bring other things along my love of fishing, perhaps my love of cooking. May I one day start this channel, cooking and fishing, maybe even making music. Hope you would be there to watch.😁

I bet if you add some garlic salt along with the white vinegar and vanilla syrup, it'll be even better.

Yes!

What’s Walmart putting in their shrimp? 👀

A bag of shrimp is cheaper than a double cup of chicken livers at the walmarts here in Az

Literally what I was just thinking he's always so calm and his voice is so smooth

Important life lesson for a youngster. no matter how good things get you're only one small step away from fucking it up so be diligent and be prepared 😂

where are you from that you don't have catfish??

Where is this place?

Catfish are pretty common everywhere..can't imagine where you could be🤔

@@6412mars sorry meant we do not have channel cats. We do have Brown Bullhead but they do not get very big around her from my experience. Im in Nova Scotia

@@leejames929 Gotcha👍

feel you man been on largies all year here but smallie aren't super common around me

An old piece of nylon stocking works too.

We use it all the time in N.C. it's a premium the scent plays a big part.

Set them out in the hot southern heat for a few hours before you go.

Big tip is to buy the ones that still has the shell on, makes it easier for the shrimp to stay on and harder for smaller fish to pick apart

Anything stinky catfish love it

It’s good, caught a decent channel a few hours ago with it. Problem is, I’m in Maryland, so the crabs go nuts on it, and they make it seem like a fish is eating the bait, tiny little tugs

They are my fav cattish bait. Sturdier than worms, no mess, fit perfectly on a bigger circle hook, and after done fishing can put them back in the freezer for next time.

@@razdog76hey work very well. Ive even caught a big some bass with shrimp not expecting it.

I need to take my kayak up there one of these days!

@@ndyakangler better hurry while you still have a chance! The valley is much more accessible now up there than it was back in June. Who knows when the snow will come, either.. overwhelming amount of precip this year.

I get a lot of people telling me they’re blues but according to the DNR and guys that make their living on the river it’s only channels in there. I’m sure there’s some bullheads too but they don’t grow quite as big. The Red River doesn’t connect to any major river systems so from what I understand it’s an ancient isolated population of catfish which explains why they don’t look exactly like channel cats elsewhere. I just don’t think people are used to seeing channel cats that big. The smaller ones I catch look pretty similar to others I’ve seen elsewhere.

They’re great rods!

That’s usually about what I’ll do to catch a few goldeye. If I’m in the right spot it will catch them!

@@ndyakangler anywherr thwt water is boiling good always has a few. If you have an ultralight a 1" twister in a plain baitholder hook works great as well. Just twitch it along just below the surface
