I grew up doing this with my grandfather, my kids did it with me but I haven’t been for about 10 years now. You just inspired me to take my wife and go limb line and trot line again. Thank you for that
Thank you very much . I enjoyed this video clip . Limb line fishing . Everything had been done in calm and gentle and silent are great . Catch Clean Cook Eat , fantastic . God gave us fish to eat . Aug. 14th 2023 Mon. 14:03 from Yokohama City Japan
Glad to see you enjoyed the video all the way over in Japan. I've actually flown in and out of Japan, but didn't get to spend much time there. Hopefully you'll continue to follow us on this journey and share our videos with your friends and Family!!! God Bless
I grew up fishing on Kentucky Lake. Lots of memories eating whole bream and crappie along with catfish filets. When I was a kid, my sister and I took turns on ice cream churn duty. I was so happy when we got an electric ice cream maker 😂
Man that’s right up my alley! We had no backwater this year when we went and it hurt. River was falling a foot a day. I’ve been having people wanting us to show cleaning and cooking but I thought everyone had probably already seen 100 videos on it. I guess it’s always interesting to see how other people do it because I keep watching you clean them up 😆
I got too many ways of cleaning fish. I mostly fillet, but people like seeing the old ways. Also it's common place for us, but there are a lot of people that may have never dressed a catfish that just need to know how. I figure we will help them out along the way!! Stay after it, y'all doing good
Well, Keep the feedback coming. RU-vid is already a struggle with outdoors because it's so heavily regulated. The feedback helps give us new ideas for content. Just your inquiry alone gives me ideas for new Diddy pole content, so it's appreciated. We will start fishing videos in the next week, and carry through to next hunting season
Brad we must have been kin in our past lives. This is what I enjoy doing as well. The only reason I don't put out youtube videos is I don't know what kind of equipment to use. Also I don't want to step on anyone toes putting out content
Mike, you'd never step on anyone's toes. RU-vid is world wide and it's for everyone. You can use it for personal documentation, or you can make it public and who knows what will happen. To grow a channel, it is a lot of work. People don't realize how much footage we delete, times we get none, editing, money on fuel and trips, supplies go into it. We made it easier, because we already did all this. Everything we do is what we already did. Phones and GoPro's are out friends, and the newer phones are changing the game for the better!!
We didn’t Filet anything Until about 1976, - 1978. Then we would Cut the Bones,and Fry them to. Looked like double sided comb when done, good flavor right off the bone.
love it my man great job trim them cats iam a old timer my boy calls me i live up north lake ontairo by the saint lawernce river we only have chanells cats and bullhead love eating them i cleand a 29 lb chanell the other day its like butcher a hog i tail bleed them helps clean them in the freezer for now i just subscribed look forward to watching move of your vids
@bernandoturner4840 Thanks, we try to release at least one long video each week most of the time at 7:30 Sunday Morning, along with Short format videos during the week. Be sure to set the Bell, so you get the notification, thanks again for watching. Channels are built by Regulars!!
Another great video. Really enjoyed that one. But I’ve never seen a oxygen bottle hook up for bait. Maybe you should do a video on that and what the cost would be?
Good content idea. I actually bought my setup at an estate sale. We used that setup to keep crappie alive in tournaments. It's also the best way to keep any bait alive. Shiners, shrimp, bream. You see how lively those bream were. They were caught a week earlier, kept in my pond in love box, them transported with Oxygen. If you think of it this way, they bag shiners and gold fish with a shot of oxygen for shipping them
lol well definitely keep ‘em coming. This new baby is keeping me at the house a good bit more than I’m used to but there will be time for that later. This is how I get my fix for now 😂
Yes I made mine. They are 3/8 in tree stakes 8 ft long. We could not find any 8 ft at the time so we slid 4 footers in tubing and crimped it. It worked perfectly
Ok, you did it. Time I stopped moving the limb lines back and forth out of the way getting to other stuff-and use them! And the bucket trick for storage, yeah, far better then my board wraps with snags. I keep 2 pigtail stake bank lines in my backyard, mostly for my own eating, but filling some coolers and knocking on some neighbors doors with fillets will bring some smiles.
Limb lines I've found are highly effective. Probably more so than yoyos and trotlines if you can come up with bait. Making bait is the hardest part. If I lived on the water it would definitely be a more regular way of us fishing. The bucket trick, I come up with when I used to offshore fish a lot It was easy way for us to our jigs, and trolling lures in without tangling up. It also works good for yoyos!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 In Mo. we could cast net gills, green sunfish. I always knew where to find an over populated, stunted growth, pond full of them. Perfect place to start 3-5 year old fisherman. Bare hook, 30 seconds they've a fish caught. Easy to fill live wells with a net. In Fl, you can even cast net saltwater gamefish, reds, snappers, but don't dare throw on freshwater blue gills, greens. Have to hook them, can't buy or sell.
We can't keep bream in cast nets in Louisiana. Have to catch them on a hook, or they just made it legal to use bream traps. The bream traps have certain dimensions
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I just re-looked up trapping for bluegills, bream, nope. Minnows with a 1 inch throat. Also found this I didn't know- Whole pickerel or panfish (e.g., bluegill, redear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, spotted sunfish, flier, warmouth) or parts thereof may be used as bait for sportfishing by the angler who caught them. Whole pickerel or bream or parts thereof may not be used as bait for trotlines or bush hooks or any method other than by rod and reel or pole and line.- I guess it's shad which I don't care to use as live bait.
Take a pool noodle and cut them in to 4in chunks filet knife thru the side pull you line thru the slit on both sides. Use the chunk like a spool keeps your lines in order and the noodle chunk works as flag.
Thanks Taylor. We also recorded Cleaning and cutting up a flathead. That's been requested. I know we include cleaning in a lot of videos, but I'm gonna upload a video just for that.
You really got me wanting catfish steaks now brother! Thanks and God bless that video was fun and really bad back memories. I’m gonna try some limb lining soon. I really liked your fryer I need to buy one like that nice and professional does the oil keep in it just fine or do you have to drain it each time?
We change that oil about every 6 months. You don't have to drain each time. I cut up some steaks last weekend. Might just have some today, my favorite!!
NGL, its cool as heck you got your girl out there fishin with you. Funny how when you're young you just want a hot one. then you get old and you want a hot one that does cool stuff with ya lol
I had that same problem so I restrung all my bank poles with 550 pound test and that problem no longer exists. I upgraded my bank poles to 5/8 fiberglass rods and all problems went away
@God's Country Hunting & Fishing not necessarily. In my area, I don't have much problem with snapper turtles, but occasionally, I do hook a soft shell turtle. My hook up rate on big flatties increased immensely when I beefed up my gear and eliminated J Hooks completely and went all large circle hooks
@God's Country Hunting & Fishing another trick I learned with bank poles is I take a battery powered drill with me when setting them. I drill a hole slightly larger than the bank pole and drill at a upward angle and drill as deep into the wood as the bit will go the put the bank pole in the hole and set the depth I want the bait below the surface. So far, in 30 years, I've never lost a pole.
I've got some 4 footers I'm gonna rig up like that that I haven't done yet. Once we get down closer to pool stage I'm gonna do that in some of the river drifts
We're gonna work more with these poles in 2024, we lost a few big fish last year, but not because of pull out. They just don't pull out. We had several lines popped though. The 3/8in rods we used catch, but really need to be a bit stiffer for big fish in my opinion or add some give in the lines like bungee cords or something. Also could have been big gar that did it, we don't know. Maybe 1/2 in would do better. When you shove them in the ground, they ain't coming out because fish pulled on them at angle It's actually pretty hard to pull them straight out ourselves, and I always use gloves with fiberglass. We are definitely planning on doing more videos using them and limblines in 2024. Thanks for watching
Been fishing limb lines using many baits.... cheese, cut, gizzards, hot dogs... Can throw them out in evening and check in morning... No matter what I use the hooks will be clean in morning and no fish.... Is that turtles doing that? If they can get a gizzard off the hook, that would be hard to do...
Not sure. Could be gar, turtles, small bait fish. It helps to bait late right before dark. I know in the past, even with live bait if we baited too early we'd loose a lot of baits. Gar will wipe you out. Hope this helps
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Thanks... been throwing lines in "hour'ish" before dark. Threw a hot dog out last night...caught a chub right off... so changed hook size and used the chub as cut bait with bigger hooks and good sized chunk of the fish... this morning hooks cleaned off again...
Not sure what you got going on. Are you using circle hooks? They also need to be good sharp ones. We used j hooks for years, but get better hook ups with circle hooks. I also like the Gamagatsu Octopus hooks
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 Threw out hot dogs tonight.... will see.. Did have weighted jug lines out most nights with the canoe, but was reading our rules and says we have to be in sight of the jugs,( which I'm not) so I'll have to go back to limb lines from the canoe... yes using circle hooks, tried 1/0 - 4/0. livers, shrimp, cut bait, garlic hotdogs, gizzards, cheeze, and soft fruit candy with lifesaver for bad breath... Your thoughts.... treble hooks? .... and floats at hook end holding hooks/bait off the bottom? Have caught several flat heads... several snapper... couple soft shells...but not regularly...
Yes, in Louisiana there is now. Used to not be, but way I read it now is 50 hooks per person. Also have to be tagged with identification and checked daily. Used to not be that much to it, but we got law makers adding stuff every year. It's a good practice to read that book every year, especially the RED🤣🤣🤣
I'm sure a big one might break some limbs, but those green limbs just don't hardly break. Think of it this way. How hard is it for us to break a green one. Especially hard woods. Need good strong limbs with some give to them
That's the I get down with the skinning my catfish didn't know about catfish steak must try it respect from 205 pisces black alpha male Birmingham Alabama home of the Civil rights moment
That's a matter of opinion. I don't really think so myself. We don't keep belly off big blues, it's just too tough if that's what you referring to. Flatheads we take as much off of as anyone.
Diddy poles, also known as Bank Poles. Most people use PVC pipe or fiberglass tree stakes. Hook and line on one end, shoved in the bank mud on the other end. Hope this helps!!
IF YOU MADE A SELF CONTAINED BAIT WELL OUT OF A COOLER THAT CIRCULATES AND OXYGENATES THE WATER YOU WOULDNT NEED THE AIR BOTTLE !!!! VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE !!
I've been there done that. When it gets really hot in Summer, that Oxygen just works better. I probably wouldn't have went to it, but I acquired it cheap in an estate sale. I used a bilge pump in my old one, so yes they will work. It also helps to put G juice in the water as well. Thanks for the Suggestion a be d for watching. God Bless!!
