Good point lol! When I first added these to my trailer 3 years ago, it was because I didn't have any experience launching a boat and they really helped guide me onto the trailer. Now, same as you, I probably don't need them anymore to guide me on. The biggest benefit for me is being able to see the posts when backing the trailer down the boat launch when the boat isn't on it. With the boat on the trailer, I can see, but without the boat, I can't see my trailer because it sits pretty low. So the posts help a lot for that.

@@davidtalley6858 that’s for sure! Very unpleasant experience lol.

@@a.i.privilege1233 yep, same here. I used to think the whiskers were going to give me an electric shock ⚡️

@@Connor-zb4uo I’m going to start off with a video every other week until I get caught up a bit, then I’ll try to get back to weekly. I’ve had some really exciting catches that I can’t wait to share. Thank you for watching!

@@instaphippsyfishing any jon boat vids? built a livewell just like yours off of the vids you had posted lol

@@Connor-zb4uo That’s great to hear, nice work! That’s still the same set up I’m using and it has been great. I just bring a few frozen water bottles with me to keep the water cool during tournaments. Yep I filmed a few jon boat videos this year!

Yessir haha! My fishing season has pretty much wrapped up so I finally have time to edit. Lots of videos are on their way!

Thank you! I hope it works out great for you. I used this set up for 2 years without issue. However, this season I upgraded my fish finder, and the transducer was so long that this method didn’t work. So I ended up purchasing a Navarre scupper mount transducer.

@@JohnFak-u8n thank you!

@@UFONightmares that’s cool! It’s shocking if you don’t know they exist lol. My mind was blown.

@@evictioncarpentry2628 haha yeah unfortunately that’s about the average size around here. I’ve only caught two over 10 lbs my whole life. That must be awesome catching giants! Can’t imagine what the fight must be like.

​@@instaphippsyfishing You can probably get a dozen 25-30lbers on any given day here easy. But they go over 40lbs. Out west the Sturgeons are unreal. Biggest one I've got personally was approx 350lbs. Just shy of 8 feet long.

@@evictioncarpentry2628 holy crap, that is awesome! A big sturgeon is definitely a bucket list fish for me.

@@somematters5713 thank you. Yes, catfish are edible, and the smaller ones are pretty tasty. I don’t know the full anatomy of a catfish but the venom is in the spines of the pectoral and dorsal fins. It’s not in their flesh, so it is safe to consume. Great question!

@@darkmolo pretty cool sighting!

@@marklafrentz8554 thank you!

@@patrickpalmer4691 holy crap, that is amazing! Good on you for practicing catch and release with the big ones. I can’t even imagine what one that big looks like.

@@patrickpalmer4691 in between Pembroke & Westmeath

Thanks a lot. Berkley Gulp! Nightcrawler, colour is Natural. They worked great and got just as many bites as real worms, but they rip very easily.

Good to know, thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it! I have dozens of videos filmed, I just need to find the time to edit and post them. Usually throughout the fall and winter I post a lot more frequently. Thanks again for checking out my channel!

I really like them both, but I definitely fish out of the kayak way more often. I ruptured my achilles last year and wasn’t able to use the Marlon at all, because my trolling motor is controlled by a foot pedal. This year I joined a boat tournament series, so I’ve been using the Marlon more. I actually just bought a pedestal seat for it this past weekend. So I’ll be able to fish out of it more comfortably!

Glad you found it helpful! It’s been 3 years, and it is still holding up great. The pool noodles are starting to crumble now, someone recommended using pipe insulation instead. Whatever that PVC conduit I used is, it doesn’t get brittle like normal PVC pipes, it has some flex to it, so even when I bump into them with my boat, they just bend out of the way. Best of luck!

That can be a good solution, especially if you’re practicing catch and release and want to minimize damage to the fish. I know when some people fish for trout they will either use barbless hooks are bend the barbs all the way down.

You’re welcome, glad you found this video helpful!

Sorry to hear that, it’s not fun! Yeah the smaller they are, the sharper the tip of their barbs. As they age and grow, the barbs get dull.

I probably only use gloves if it was a smaller one or very large one in the end it’s just a fish but I am not getting poked by a baby or giant fish 😭🙏

I wear gloves all the time fishing. I fish almost every day, and need to protect my hands! Occasionally someone will make a rude comment about wearing gloves, but it doesn’t matter what other people think. Just have to do what works for you!

It’s a Berkley Gulp! Nighcrawler. They’re very scented and catfish love them. They don’t hold up very well though, usually only last 1 or 2 fish. I was also trolling it with a gold willow leaf spinner just above the hook, and catfish are really attracted to the vibration.

Those little ones sure can be feisty, the smaller they are, the sharper the barbs. Hopefully it didn’t get you too bad. Haha yep that sounds familiar! Good luck going forward 🤞

Good to know, thank you! Quite the shocking sight when you’re not expecting it.

@@AJFishing2009 thank you very much! I really appreciate the kind comment.

@@MrDannyhux Can you message me on Instagram? I’d be happy to let you know the area privately! instagram.com/instaphippsyfishing?igsh=d3ZjeTM0MDR3dTU3

@@SongFong I’m glad you found it helpful, thank you for the kind comment! I used it for over a year without any issues. The only thing I would have done differently is just buy a shorter bolt than having to cut the long one lol.

@@lilquantumblitz thank you for your positivity!

@@kylemiller769 thank you for sharing your wisdom! I’m hoping I can remember this before starting my next project lol.

@@ScottKurbyun you’re welcome! I have been using mine for over a year with zero issues. The only thing I would change is buying a shorter bolt vs cutting the long one down.

@@EricRobillard-b4j Channel cat, we don’t have flatheads on the Ottawa River. I caught an even bigger one last month, such a fun fight!

@@instaphippsyfishing i was asking because i catch a very big one. all black on top, looks like yours and i couldn’t believe the fight. big belly, i don’t really know the different catfish species but i know this one was different than what i got in the past. i took pictures of it, i normally don’t bother about taking pictures of catfish but this one was super aggressive and attacked my crankbait. i remember thinking i got a big musky or a giant pike 😅

@@liamfarrell8478 unfortunately not really. Can help prevent a scratch from the fins, but if the contact is straight on, the fin will go right through the glove.

@@kittywind_0.0 that’s awesome, good work!

I love using that method. When I’m fishing for walleye on the river, I catch way more catfish than walleye so I want to get them off the hook quick to get my bait back in the water. I bought one from Amazon & one from Wish and they were both called “Fish Hook Remover Tool”.

Glad you found this helpful! After a year of use it’s still working great.
