The Red River Catfish Experience (Best In The World) 

I appreciate it Robert. Perly area has some great fishing

Thanks Bozley I appreciate it

Thanks wade

Thanks Matthew!

@@TheRiverAddict update: wow, this video is the best for a beginner like me! I followed what you did, and landed a channel on my 3rd cast! Another one after another 3 casts! Total bonus is that the Red is about a half mile from my door! Thanks so much!

@@matthewhawn9070 wow, this is great to hear! I’m glad I could help man. The Red river has a lot to offer. You have some huge ones up where you live too. I appreciate the kind words friend!

@@TheRiverAddict hi again! So I’ve gone all in a couple rods from Madkatz and was wondering what size that BG is? Any other spinning reels you’d recommend? And thanks again for this video, made my summer more enjoyable!

@@matthewhawn9070 I use the Bg 3000 series reel! I love it. On my other rod I use a diawa crossfire 3000 series reel. The Bg runs about 110 bucks and the crossfire runs about 30 bucks. I’m pretty biased to Diawa reels, I think they just make a quality product for the price. Any reel that can hold 30lb-50lb braid or mono would work fine though. The Penn Fierce is also a very popular reel for catfishing. That one has a bait clicker on it.

Haven’t heard of it, but sounds like a place I wouldn’t mind fishing! Thanks for watching

Anywhere on the red is full of cats. I stuck a 13, 15, 16 and 21lbr yesterday. Find a hole, cast some goldeye out there and bam fish on.

Yeah all the parks and dams in town are pretty good fishing! I like Lemke park and treefoil park for the dams

Yeah man that’s unfortunate that they have those opinions. It’s one of the hardest fighting sport fish in the world. When I was your age I just rode my bike with a wagon attatched to the back to the river. If I were you thats what I would do!

@TheRiverAddict have you fished the Buffalo River in MN and if so how was it? That is within biking distance from me! And I haven't got to experience it yet but I'm going to soon!

@@user-le5iw2od3t I have, you can find some nice fish in there. Walleye, pike, bass, catfish, carp, suckers. Try finding some bridges, dams, woodpiles, deeper stretches of the river. Things like that. Good luck

I have never heard of this? But it makes perfect sense that salt curing a fish would toughen it up. Will definitely be giving this a shot. I’m curious if it would toughen up frozen goldeye. I’ve had issues with previously frozen goldeye getting pretty mushy after a couple minutes in the water. Thanks for the tip 👍

@@TheRiverAddict I typically salt cover them 12hours then freeze. With previously frozen I'd think you could saltwater brine them to toughen them up. Another great bait I use a lot on the red is whatever cheapest canned catfood I can find and I wrap them up in women's pants hose material. I buy the boxed socks you see at stores for women that don't have socks to try on shoes. They're cheap and you get a lot of bait balls that way. Just like a big spawn sack for salmon. Lay it out put a big dobb of catfood into it, then tie it up with 10oe 12 wraps of magic thread. I prepare a Rubbermaid lunch tote full of them and freeze them. Run a 5/0 big cat circle through the bag just under the know in the bag and chunk it out there. Try it. It's hard to beat.

Rough guess I’d say 30 yards
