This rig caught me 1000’s of minnows in minutes 

I laughed when you said "I need a longer pole and something to stick it in"!!🤣

Wow, that thing works way better than i would imagine. Much faster than minnow traps too! Good buy J.

Any vid from Trapper J is 🔥 🔥🔥

My Dad used the umbrella net back in the 60's. We caught all kinds of minnows with it. Tie a piece of bacon in the middle and leave it for a while. Works great for crawdads....but if it's in deep water....lift up reeeeel slow.

Painters pole will bend or break aluminum pool cleaning handles have them forever.

If you don't think they'll go for bread, try using instant potatoes. Works really well for tiny fish.

Adjustable fiberglass painters poles make great handles.

That was cool feeding frenzy

You need to take that to flairs small pond so he can see what’s in there

I say get a few more perch he looked so cool in there with there colors definitely my favorite

This is a pretty common style of net in Asia, but they'll be up to 20ft square. Often they're out on free-standing piers and lined up , sometimes by the dozen. The poles are set up with a large weight on the back end, hinged and pivoting, which makes them pretty well balanced so one guy can operate it. You can throw down some fish food or drip some fish oil on the net to attract them before you lift it out.

So cool! I love it.

Trapper j, you said you wished you had a longer pole… try one of those telescopic paint poles that reach out to 10’. That’s what i use.

That's what I call a pole!!!😂😂😂

I did this for a lot of years. Use a scoop to get them off the net. I have an old sauce pan.

That is the same net we use to catch chubs....

they love sour mash we worked on a farm and the wash drain went into the creek and it smelled just like sour mash and we could ketch bait for fish any time we wanted them except winter and the creek froze over.

A couple of minnow traps would be the way i would do it. They swim in as long as there is bait in it. Dog food in pantyhose lasts quite a while.

Awesome!

Guys this deserves some kind of Nobel Prize award 🥇

The minnownater!

We use that on Hudson River to catch herring for striped bass fishing

Great job

That's cool.

Hope there is no asian carp fingerlings in the mix, can't wait till a 15 pd channel cat gets in the net, that will be some great footage.

Nice work

A telescoping cane pole work great with that net !

They make polarized lens for iPhones and GoPros I would imagine that would make a big difference.

Been using one since the 70 s . I’ve launched some minnows into orbit a time or two. Lol put some bait on a rock they will swarm it.

You meant 100's right? 😂😂

Try a killie try for the bigger bait

4:48 story of my life.

I think you're as bad as me, you are constantly buying neat things to try!!!! 😂

They fist like that in Asian countries for bigger fish but also with larger nets

Dont pull the net to fast if your pulling straight up or youll get a face full of minnows

IT WORKS PRETTY GOOD''

Down here in Louisiana we use those nets for catching crawfish , THEY WORK ON WHATEVER

Pete the perch

👍🏻😎🇺🇸

Baby asain carp?

That's some shit you'd see in Vietnam 😂

call the perch Gilligan because he destroys the Minnow.

You'd catch a lot more Jay if you tied it straight and lifted it fasted But you're getting some so that's what matters LOL

Should put some weight right in the middle of your net on the bottom side

Perchanha’

Killie trap

If u tie a piece of bait on there it will work lots better

Bet those were Asian carp lol. May as well keep catching them in the thousands.

You're gonna have to stick the GoPro underwater and then feed the fish

J, may you please put some turtles in your pond

First

I have one of those... snagged on the bottom of the ohio river. 😂

Ol Yeller, what else would ya name a yellow perch 😂
