Bigger the bait, the bigger the fish. I was out in a boat with a friend on a lake anchored for the night and I tossed a 6 inch live bluegill out about 100 feet from the boat, cracking open a cold beer. He thought I was nuts. 30 minutes later I was battling with a 29 pound flathead catfish. He couldn't believe it.I drank another beer whilst resting from the battle.
I'm about an hour away from chatt in middle TN and I've always wanted to fish there! After stumbling upon your channel, I want to go even more. I've not had any luck this year with cat locally but I've had plenty of trout and bass. I prefer fishing for cat so hopefully my luck changes soon. Subscribed!
Ive love freelining for cats. Ive used freelining for years, but a long time ago all we had then were channelcats, in my home lake wylie. Thanks for showing this so others can see and learn it. Years ago i would use big bluegill heads for freelining and the rest of the body would be used carolina rig or floated under a big bobber. GOD BLESS AMERICA.🇺🇸
Joe,that weekend you were there,i forgot to tell you,but that 35 pound blue I caught that sunday had a huge gut like the one realistic landed,and it was spitting out eggs in my boat.Also I had kept 8 channels about 5 pounds to eat and when I cleaned them Monday after getting home i found their stomachs were still loaded with full egg sacks.I don't believe all cats spawn at the same time like a lot of people think.
Yes indeed, I will have to plan a vacation and come on down...Chattanooga is about a 10 hour drive from here...I would have to pick up my grandson he lives in knoxville..
Fishing with Panfish and Mr. Realistic Fishing. You are in good company. I heard you say Moccasin Bend, so I'm pretty sure where you are. I fish Old Hickory lake mostly. Would there be any chance of catching cats on the bottom of the channel or better up on the top of the ledge of an old tributary?
Panfish told me about this video and its a good one i really need to binge watch your videos from before i started following you just gotta make the time again thx for the entertainment 😳
Hey man it's me Brian I haven't washed your videos in a while but remember I was telling you about the Merrimack River up here that goes from New Hampshire through Massachusetts down into the ocean with a stripers goat to and from I tried your method of the chicken breast just letting it drift and I got some good size cats thanks for all the videos keep them coming
Is that a shakespear Tidewater reel on that one rod ? If it is, I had one. It casted poorly but did a really good job landing big ones . Cranked well, loud drag ( that was fun ).
Hey Chatt what are the blue rods you're using with the aluminum real seats. I know the last rods you were using were nite sticks if I remember correctly.
I know you use the okuma clx300 l reels ,have you ever used the okuma pro 302la reels and if so is price the main difference or are they that much better quality.
May I ask what's the purpose or essence of the "catch and release" method fishing? Aren't you just injuring the fish in that idea for the sole main purpose of taking a picture as proof of catch? Pls educate me.. thanks.
I typically don't eat the catfish from our rivers. Most of them contain heavy metals and PCB's that are not good for human consumption. If I'm bringing home fish it's crappie, shellcracker, bluegill, or spotted bass.
Jeo I went fishing and I had a big flat head on a 10 inch live blue gill and he went in a huge brush pile that allowed him to get away well to least I got back with 30 masqito bites, 10 blue gill for bait, and 2 flat heads ranging from 16 pounds and 22 pounds.

Great video!!!! I'm in a Tournament right now I decided to Target Channel Cat (It's a Multi-species Tournament) any advice on how to Target the big ones other than bait size I'm catching a lot of them but all in the 3lb range I try to use bigger bait but the little fish constantly pick at it Thank You :)
I’m a little bit confused right here. Why do you basically fish 🎣 and throw whatever you get, back into water?! Please, I need a suitable answer for this!
As somone from northern europe (we don't really know catfish) i wonder why is there's such a huge color difference between 9:45 and 12:15...are they different kind of catfish or is it just random ?
No. I release the big ones to live and fight another day. It's best to release the big ones to protect and preserve the gene pool in our rivers and lakes.
That's awesome nothing like that is anywhere close gone here I live in kentucky. I usually go fo Martin's fork lake and fish under the damn that releases water from our lake but have never seen anything like what u catch... Awesome channel and love watching ur videos
We were using light tackle (10 lb main line)...a 5 lb channel cat can put up a heck of a fight making you think it's a bigger fish, haha. Thanks for watching!
As always, great content. Fishing with friends. Joe you are quite the gentleman and a great fishing capitan.
Thanks for the kind words. It was a fun trip.

Bigger the bait, the bigger the fish. I was out in a boat with a friend on a lake anchored for the night and I tossed a 6 inch live bluegill out about 100 feet from the boat, cracking open a cold beer.

Awesome, man! I bet that was a great fight! Flatheads are always fun to catch.

Free-lining is one of my favorite methods to use for catching catfish.
Wow great monster fish..

Yeah most catfish are generally spawning end of May and all of June, but there are still some now that are still spawning
Just come over from Pan Fish...................I subbed...................

I used to have a tidewater. Now I have the Okuma CLX 300La reels.
@@ChattCats thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment.
need to make a collage of some of the best and biggest catches.
Good idea!

Pelo tamanho da isca ja imagino o que vem depois!!
I know you use the okuma clx300 l reels ,have you ever used the okuma pro 302la reels and if so is price the main difference or are they that much better quality.
I have not used the Okuma Pro 302L so I can't give you an honest review on them. I do like the Okuma CLX300L reels. They hold up very well.
May I ask what's the purpose or essence of the "catch and release" method fishing? Aren't you just injuring the fish in that idea for the sole main purpose of taking a picture as proof of catch? Pls educate me.. thanks.

I have always preferred to free line...even from the bank...for me....it has ALWAYS produced good results
It's my favorite technique when targeting catfish!
Ở vn là chụp hình xong là thả từ từ vào nồi
Haha
What kind of fishing do you use? very well
Typically target catfish. Thanks for watching!
Can you use a macro as a bait as you did for the ocean
Jeo I went fishing and I had a big flat head on a 10 inch live blue gill and he went in a huge brush pile that allowed him to get away well to least I got back with 30 masqito bites, 10 blue gill for bait, and 2 flat heads ranging from 16 pounds and 22 pounds.
Looks like a great day for me besides all the mosquito bites, ha. Nice job on getting on those flatheads. They are an awesome fish to catch.
Yeh they are my favorite fish to catch.

Building in the background looks familiar. Are you all in Tennessee?.
Yes.
When you switch to ultra light tackle and a blue gill feels like a 10lb. Challenge on!

It's always a blast catching a big fish on light tackle.
That was the darkest flathead I have ever seen
I’m a little bit confused right here. Why do you basically fish 🎣 and throw whatever you get, back into water?!
Please, I need a suitable answer for this!
The catfish have toxins in them due to the hydroelectric dams in the area.

As somone from northern europe (we don't really know catfish) i wonder why is there's such a huge color difference between 9:45 and 12:15...are they different kind of catfish or is it just random ?
Yeah, we caught different catfish that day -- Blue Catfish, Channel Catfish, and the Flathead Catfish
Thanks for watching!
thx for the answer.
didn't knew there are different kind of catfish.
Wow
Have u ever kept any of ur monster cats to fry or is it possible to cut it up to fry
No. I release the big ones to live and fight another day. It's best to release the big ones to protect and preserve the gene pool in our rivers and lakes.

That first fish, how do you not tell how big that fish is seeing that rod bend and how little the fish moves when he pumps it? Lol
We were using light tackle (10 lb main line)...a 5 lb channel cat can put up a heck of a fight making you think it's a bigger fish, haha. Thanks for watching!

Do you ever fillet and eat?
