What Happens When You Cast Net This Flooded Spillway? (so many species!) 

The crappie was a black nose crappie which is a hybrid. I had two in a fish tank for over 2 yrs. When one died thee other was distraught, luckily a bigger bluegill saved him! I still have Carl who will be 3 Jan 4th and is about 8” now!

I have been thrown cast nets all my life and I have not seen two people who do it the same way and if it is working for you that is what matters and you are catching hell of baits so don't listen to anything people ever say about it you are getting results from the way it looks so keep on doing it the way you are going

Watching your videos regularly from pakistan 🇵🇰 loving em 👍 .. I had a knee dislocated while casting a net and never casted again 🙃 .. just watch your videos now .. keep it up 🙌

I’ve got the cast net jones lately. These sorts of videos are little bursts of inspiration!

That crappie was a super rare Magnolia Crappie

Wow mantab mas gondrong, Sumeks Minggu petualang Palembang hadir lagi nih, moga selalu sehat dan sukses. Begitu juga sahabat lain, moga juga sukses, amin Ayo tetap semangat.... 👍

Success is measured in results, not technique. ..and I saw three new species today. Thanks!

I throw my castnet just about the same way you do, similar anyways, it ain’t pretty but it gets the job done! Keep on keeping on bud!

Your cast net technique is not bad at all, the problem is your application of it, you need to twist at the hips turn from the back forward more as you release it and it will open up a lot more, right now you are being too stiff and only using your upper body when throwing it...nothing to be upset about though, you are having fun, catching fish, getting views, and we enjoy watching them, no big deal.

The crappie with the black line across the nose is a magnolia crappie.

I remember catching those red tail minnows back in the 60's, I think they are protected now, sure caught the fish with them

So is nobody going to mention his ninja reflex @5:03 lol..

the harder you do the swing the more speed youre weights gonna have, so youre weights gonna pull youre net more open when it reach the water. It is just to help you trowing better. dont take the net in youre right hand if you gonna swing, take in youre right hand also the weights ( not the net) , like that you can give youre swing much more power. In the air youre net must turning arround so now the weights turning arround they pull youre net more open and make a nice circle . Sorry for my bad english my friend, I hope it is understandible . In a nutshell do it like you do it always but take the weights in youre right hand instead of the net.

The shad are trying to get into the lakes right now you can get GREAT bait at any point they can swim up 👍 i've been getting monster shad in small creek like spillways. Also fold the horn of the net over about a ft and grab the horn or so it will help throwing it with bigger nets.

Nice black-nose crappie, haven’t seen many myself.

I love your curiosity and investigative spirit in finding out what lies beneath the waters of these spillways - kudos :-) Do you ever eat any of the fish you catch in these spillways or do you just use them for bait ? Thanks

Another cool video. Great Kermit impersonation

Oh man mullet are everywhere...and they all look the same. That big one you caught looks exactly like the ones I catch in a small lake 300 metres from my house, here in the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia

Hi from the Netherlands to up your algo a bit. Lovely vid

I've never used a cast net but definitely want to try it. I'll probably even adopt your throwing technique - it obviously works well.

The small crappie you caught is called a black nose crappie.

Cool vid,I don't see nothing wrong on how you throw your net,it opens up all the way and it works for ya,keep em cool vids coming

".......MMM...PIGGY" EPIC!!! LOL

Lol at your "subtle" attempt at working the algorithm .

The fish with the black line looked kinda like a flier.

it's that new hybrid the crappygill

Rule of thumb there is no wrong way to do most things as long as the goal is reached

Danger! Be careful man, that is very very deep, I see some spillway, the bottom tank will be 30 meter depth.

Great impression of kermit!

Im not going to judge you on net throwing brother or on anything that I have seen on your video. I've never thrown a net in my life but i will soon. It was very informative though just knowing the diversity of fish that can be found in a spillway that is great to find bait. I just wish i knew where you were throwing your net (what state?) Im from Los Angeles, California and our spillways are nothing like that. We got to settle for small ponds and very few at that.

What do you look for as far as laws for fishing in areas like this? Are they all public areas and local law doesn't care?

Good

Very good balancing skills.

That was a black nose crappie if anyone hasn't told you yet

What were the last species with the red fins?

Very nice

The minnows with orange tails are called blue darters

Hey man it was nice to see you out there! Castnet is all I caught in that day haha

Nice ..what size is the smaller net? Looks like. 4ft?

Good catch twice with the larger mullet

You coming to Taylor lake or Mud lake to catch some alligator gar? Bring you custom cast net throwing with you!

I swear, every time I make a terrible throw with my castnet, I get giant gizzard shad. But I make a perfect throw, and nothing 🤦‍♂️😂

My one Son has got to be a PRO . on Cast Net ... And He sure didnt learn it from Me....

Throwin them tacos! 😂

What , do you think , species was that at : 9 : 26 ??

Dang nets are illegal for most things in Oregon,USA.

Not bad old man

Have you every fished in Arizona?? Could use some pointers out here! Lol

I know it is gross in the Houston water, but I can always get the net to fully open by putting one lead in my mouth and holding it with my teeth. Then pull packwards on the hand holding the net during the throw. It spins the net open fully.

Start an aquarium with little colourful fish you catch dude .. that would be so sick .

Pretty sure this is where ol mike has made a few videos in the past.

Woow super bro

Are you promoting your cast netting ability 😂 it's a bit odd but if it works for you more power to ya👍👍👍

I likethis net fishing without using hooks,you get a good mix of sizes too!!! However you throw good or mediocure its doing your best at least you are catching. For me its catch them to cook them.

You know they make bigger cast nets right

What state is this?

dope videos.

Good ol day of cast netting

The Gar is spawning

That was a small magnolia crappie

That’s a magnolia crappie

Eeeeeeeek .... what horrible cast net throwing ..... eeeeeeeeeek. Just kidding - I can't throw one at all. You caught fish and did not end up falling in. Cast net throwing for the win.

Hell I'm so bad I would flung myself off the wall....

Small crappie

Let's see, I can't find anything else to do today. You throw the net terrible...lol.... I can't throw a big one, but I do like the small one. You seem like you throw it as well as anyone else on YT.

Magnolia crappie
