Way to stay with him … patience is your ally.

Nice! On an ultralight rig too! I'm impressed. 😅

80 lb snapping turtle?nice Catfish winner. ❤

🎣 now that is one fantastic sized catfish, for sure it is and definitely a good meal out of that one. Catfish are so delicious. A job well done on catching this fish 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Beautiful fish

Looks like some Altamaha fishing

Did he say best date ever? 😂 she’s like …ya that’s great

When I was a kid, a friend of mine and myself pulled 7 channel cats all about this size from under a small dock on a duckweed infested lake with a cane pole and 10lb test. It was one of the funnest days of fishing in my life. We were laughing the whole time! 😂😂😂

Way to be smooth and let him tire himself out. Way to go bro!!!!

You should be a monk. That's great fishing right there. Well done.

I love catfishing and you just made my day. Big cats and light line are a thrill.

Best eating catfish there is.

Catfish are getting bigger every time 👍🎣👍🎣👍

That's what I was going to say. It's fighting like a flathead. Staying on the bottom. 👍 awesome.

Don't you just love rod benders?

Joran sampai melengkung bang ,semangat

I called it before I you said anything, I did the exact same thing on a shakey head rig, 60 lb flathead, took me close to 20 minutes to get it in. Awesome stay with him.

Wow that was awesome

might be 12lb line but theres prolly only 2-3lbs of force on that..

Congrats on your very own river monster!

Kudos on way ya quietly handled the fish!! Constant pressure, let drag do the work, eased the fish onto bank! Time to get exited, whoop, holler, dance, scream AFTER ya landed him!! Well done!!

Very nice cat

Under parkway bridge roanoke river?

Fight it with the rod and drag. Amazing what you can catch that exceeds the test rating of your line. I would have turned him back. He was an older gentleman to be that size. Fun to say hello, might get to see him again one day

Nice one! My personal best is 55 lbs on a rod and reel.

New RU-vidr here just subscribed to your channel

Nice cat on trout rod very lucky

I have caught two 50 pounders in lacrosse Wisconsin

The camera guy sucks. Can’t even keep your eyes on the prize.

Ray Charles could of videotaped this better

Nice

Yes, great job not hoggin it losing him. I tend to get impatient when it's a big one and *snap*

Good catch! Is that Jones Bridge??

Did you have fish for supper?

Chowing down. Good eating.

Nice job working it in on 12lb line... i once got a 52 lb 4' 2" long flat head on 17lb stren line....after that i started using 50lb line on 9' surf pole....been hooked on flathead cat fishing ever since...everything else is just bait...

Holy shit

My personal record is a 36lb salmon on 6# test. Loved the video! Awesome that this was your first date! I also caught my record on my first date. Thanks for sharing.

Get your net

Nice!!!!!!!!!

Nice! 😊

Speaks?

Yum.

Where is the net?

She's a keeper!

Nice job! Nice fish! You'll remember that day!

Man, that was a good fight/fish! Glad you got em to the shore!

Anyone else see a face on the rock in the water by his feet. BTW very nice catch

You hold your pool like a toddler

What city? What bait were you using?

Loved and Subscribed!

It's a sea monster my favorite.

Good job mate, truly a beast.

I thought I had a big cat a few years ago on 6lb test and a crappie pole. Just messing around at night with some chicken livers not really expecting much. Fought it for what felt like an hour and when I finally got it to the shore and was excited to see how big it was, it showed itself and was a massive snapping turtle! Scared the crap out of me at first expecting a fish.

I knew it had to be a cat. Lol

Big boi

Where's this at?

All that work and effort for a fish no better than a carp. Sad.

Foul hooked !!!!
