Flathead Catfishing Tips: Barge hopping for Flathead Catfish 

2 of the best teachers on RU-vid in one video. Good job guys and some great information. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice nice flathead, truly enjoyed seeing him caught..

Steve, all the way from Los Angeles here, love the video, new subscriber. Just wanted to say love the humble attitude you present. Not too many fisherman who are genuine as you.

Great job y'all. It's true, I always learn something new fishing with different folks. keep up the great work!

Steve thanks for all the advice from you and all other catmen out there.keep them coming. would like to send you fishing pics now and then

What a fisherman combo. Those guys could clear out a whole river of catfish in a day!

Great to see the flatheads gettin some love from The Catfish Dude!

Great to meet Chris 👍👏🧡🚣‍♂️

Finally a video without a 100 ads

Never hooked cut shad like that until tonight. Couldn’t believe when I got the same bait back from a fish with guts still in it. Awesome tip.

What a wealth of knowledge in a single video!

Awesome video with a few good tips that I took note of! I'm an avid catfisherman in North West Arkansas. My home town of Ozark Arkansas is nestled on the bank of the Arkansas River and if you ain't a fisherman around here, than you ain't a man at all. If you guys are ever over this way, give me a holler and I'll set you up in all the right spots. There's almost never a day that goes by out of the year that you don't see at least a couple of guys sitting in a boat or on the bank sharing tales of the ones that got away while watching some catfish poles.

Another great video Steve. I want to thank Chris Souder for the good tips with the Ky rig and smaller baits. I never would have thought about rigging that way. If we get another warm day, I will give it a try.

Like learning new tricks for catfishing. Love this video!!

Another great video as usual! Extremely informative! My kids and I get hyped watching your videos then go out and put it to work on the Tenn-Tom waterway in West Point, MS. We are learning and getting better every outing...thanks again!

Joe Cook Thanks a lot for the video Steve. It was one of the best I've seen lately. I love to fish and your video gave me a lot of ideas when I get back out there once the pollen settles down. Best wishes!!!!

Great video, as always. Always learn something every time I tune in. Tks friend.

Love watching you catch flathead. Thanks for a great video, Steve.

Great video, and great fishing both of you. Thank you for the tips 👍

💪😀Your the best in my books Steve. Very impressed with them rods. Keep the Vlogs coming bud. ✌😀

My cousin fished the King Kat tournament on the Ohio Last year as well ... Congrats to you Chris and the other anglers. I'm always looking for any tips or tricks to help better my fishing. Thanks for the info guys and best of luck this year in 2017 Will definitely be watching more videos Thanks again guys!!!

Another great video Steve !! I'm having trouble right now finding the fish on my home river with this low thirties weather!! Guess I'll be watching more RU-vid fishing videos lol. The other day I came across one of your first videos I could find of yours in the winter and you had crazy long hair!!

another awesome world class video steve!

Good video. There were a lot of useful tips in this one. You guys caught more flatheads in this video than I caught all year! I mostly catch channels, fishing the dishpan lakes in my area, but I do get a lot of those over 10. Favorite bait is shad guts, usually catch my flatheads trolling crankbaits for walleye.

Awesome information. I will be using some of these techniques in the near future. I've also just subscribed to his channel. Thanks again!

another great video. Always looking forward to the next one coming out. Thanks to Chris for his tips

that was insane man good job

Great video. This is fishing. You never truly master it, you never know every trick and can always learn and improve. Even if you are Mr. Douglas

Awesome video an great tips...

nice video steve your right about learning something new up here in ny all we have is channel cats but I have learned from you and the rest of the catfish family in just 2 years we have caught some monsters that would rivail the red river up I'm Manitoba thank you see you in feb

awesome video and I really appreciate the fishing tips. thank you a new subscriber.

Some respectable fishes there. Thanks!

Great video Steve. Catching flatheads wire my Ole buddy Chris Souders.

thanks for the info! love your videos! you really help us out alot!

I always use a small peaces of pait her in Egypt and i get very big ones !

There's a lot of tips I'm stealing from this video. Great info Steve!

great info in this video for late fall flathead, thanks for sharing

Good video Steve! Great looking cats you were catching!

Thanks Steve for the opportunity to spend the day on the water with you. And want to say thank you to everyone that has taken a min to check out my RU-vid channel and subscribe to it. Hope the tips we shared in this video help everyone catch more flathead catfish.

I really enjoyed this video. In my adult years i have grown away from catfishin because as a little boy i did it as a chore. Rake the leaves, hang the clothes, and catch supper. I grew up on all sides of the gulf of mexico ....and poor. I spent 4 years in colorado and thats where i got introduced to trout, then 10 years in carolina and that was my 14 years in the army. Now i considered myself a pretty good catfisherman because on $1.50 worth of chicken livers i can go to any body of water that holds em and catch enough channell to set the table and thats all ive ever concerned myself with. I always figured flatheads and bullheads for a trash fish and never put thought into it for sport..... Here in the next couple months im gonna shift away from all the casting and reeling for walleye and bass and trout and crappie im gonna get to the maumee and the ohio river with some cut bait and im gonna fish for some monster flathead. Just got a couple questions im hoping you can help me with: When fishing flathead is there a relationship beween water depth and fish size? Alot of my favorite holes are near dams and the water isnt too deep. If im catching small flatheads should i stay put and wait for a big one or venture off in search of bigger fish? And thanks for the video fellas.. Anytime something brings me new excitement to fishing im a happy man

Hi Steve.I am in Northern Ky near Cincinnati.I recently found this RU-vid channel of yours and enjoy it alot. Perhaps one day we can meet on the river and fish.if not keep the great videos coming please. God bless....Gary Johnson

Great Video and tips,I thought i was the only one left using mono Been using big game a long time never let me down yet.

all I have used for the last 5 years is 30 pound trilene big game, my favorite line of all time

Great video. I always learn something.

Great job love the video

Awesome video ❤️

Nice video, Steve!

I really like that rig, I have used a similar setup for several type of fishing. I am a little confused by the brush comment, for some of the best Flathead fishing I have done, was under a underpass in about forty feet of water. Not huge Flatheads, but I was not going for the big boys. More around the 5 LBS range.

awesome info,thanks you guys!

Flatheads, most think they have to be caught on live bait, but they can infact be caught on dead fish. Here on the Wabash river goldeye is the catfish candy for flatheads. good tips and info yall did and steve months months back I see your face in a magazine in-fishermen as I was over looking it at the food store and I took pictures but never got them uploaded , as its going to upload later early spring so your info can get them wanting to hit the water in search of monster flatheads

cool video! like those flathead's

that trigger affect is also called loading the line.as a trapper i use this same method for snares. been doing it for fishing for years to. you learn from one method to take to another.

Another good one thanks and have a happy and safe holiday season

excellent video

Very good fish bud

Nice to see veteran fisherman on the water doing what they love. Guys I live down in North Carolina and our rivers are tidal here and makes for hard fishing,any suggestions for fishing in the middle of march on tidal rivers with the water temps around 45°? We also have had alot of rain which has caused rivers to be higher than usual.

GREAT Video! I'm gonna have to try that knotless snell!

Great Video

Great cat fishin Stove, tyfs

Nice fish

Awesome video.

Great video, Steve. You and Chris opened some eyes on a new aspect for flatties. I was wondering, whats up with the NjaEye site? Keep up the good work, Tight lines!

can't wait it's almost time just waiting for the mesquite trees to start blooming round here then I need some perch the size of my hand to go fishing for them river monsters

thanks Steve. And thank you Chris. for sharing your information. and congratulations on the Point leader Cabela's. well Steve I learned quite a bit from this video. Chris hooked real nice flat head soon as he tide on the Kentucky rig. you guys are catching good fish in the video and I am a subscriber to Chris's Channel. until next time have a nice Thanksgiving along with the rest of the holidays.

Very nice video, thank you.

Flathead!the best tasting of any catfish.

Hi Steve. I live in Fairmont, WV and I fish the Monongahela river here most of the time. I also fish theTygart and West Fork rivers here too. I mainly fish for the flatheads. I have a question for you. What is a good net for flatheads that is not too expensive?

thanks guys

Nice Video

So I'm really trying to figure out the flathead game. I was thinking I should be using live bait for flathead. What gives? Right now during the spring should I fish live bait around cover? should I wait no more than 1 hour per area of cover?

nice ones

ready for catfish conference. never been. need some tips. I fish the ohio on a regular but I'm a bank Fisher, no boat yet. got any pointers?

Nice, I only ever catch em down here in NC on live bait. Only catching blues on cut bait

can you use the same set up in the warmer seasons

Would like to go fishing with ya always enjoy your videos

Has either of you guys tried the "Ugly Stick Catfish" rod? I tried one and went back and bought 3 more. I love them.. And I loaded them with the Shimano TRNG200G Triton Levelwinds, they're only like $70 and well worth it! And spooled them with 40lb. Big Game.. And I had to get 4 because that's my favorite number. lol.

I love to fish, but havent fished in a long time.

I freaking love my bankmaster pro , I use every day, when it's not to cold

I was at the Ohio River last weekend and I live in wv

Thanks for another informative video. Had some good fish and looked fun for you two. How long after a front comes in does it take for the fish to bite again? I believe that here in Kentucky the cold is here to stay for a while.

What size swivels do you use?

great video got a question how offten do u change your braided line

Blue bird sky? So overcast or cloudy is better? Although I mainly fish for flats just before sunset and into the night.

You threw some great eating fish

thanks for the tips i with i can catch catfish that bigggggg

Is live bait best this time of year or cut bait

what rod and reel setup are you using?

Middle of November that's prime hunting time never would of thought good flathead time
