We eat catfish caught year round and it never taste like mud. Now on a large catfish the belly is full of oil/fat that taste bad. You just gotta cut it off but smaller ones for fine.
good to see someone able to catch catfish this year. I caught 5 early this season and then everything got too dry. no water flowing in the rivers and streams where I fish. I gave up on fishing all together for hopes that when the waters return there will be healthy fish to repopulate the fishing holes. Need fish to make fish :) Fishing will be poor for at least 2 years after the rains come back.
What happened to your lovely video on reading a compass, in commemoration of Ashley's birthday? It was also your 100th episode and that was pretty special as well.
Reminds me of Huck Finn. You'd look cute with a straw hat. I hope you make a video showing how you would cook it. But as always great video. Semper Fi.
no way man... It's sucks getting stung. will make your hand swell up and hurts like heck. Here's a good tip though. If you do get stung rub the slime from the catfish's belly on it and it'll keep it from being so bad. Help's a lot
Here is a good question for you, some catfish meat I have had taste sweet and good, while others I have have had, taste like mud, swamp water, yak. Now my kid said it has to do with the temperature of the water, and what season you are fishing. I do not know, but would like every bodies input who had experienced the same thing. Thanks please send comments.
City life sucks...ur vids have taught me alot im leaving the city soon because if theres ever a emergency id have a better chance in the wild then this concrete jungle philadelphia lol
Is it really good to eat catfish? I have a shack beside the river in Quebec and i catch alot of those, some say it taste like mud since there hanging in the bottom of the river....Anyway thanks, now i know i to clean those.And nice channel BTW.
Yes you and everyone else,They don't make them like that anymore.That goes to show you that both brother and sister were brought up with Christian values.Hard working people that is for sure...
You have to be one of the smartest person on this earth, will you do a short video showing the exact part we should discard, because it was a larger catfish and that was probably what you were indicating a part of the belly that needs to be removed.
smaller the better, bigger the more eat, not sure it matters. I have had my far share of 1 lb catfish on up to 50 pounders and they all taste great to me. Maybe my dad and uncles just know a few tricks to cleaning them not sure.
"My knife is too sharp" lol I have that problem a lot too... until I let my dad use them =\ I don't know what it is with him and dulling my blades lol.
You should screw or nail a board to the tree and put a metal magnetic strip to hold your knifes.and then then make a small table you can butcher all your fish.squirls and what ever else you skin ar the tree.that would make it alot easier.thats something is do
@MrMac5150 Has everything to do with fast flowing water vs stagnant pond water and yes cool weather vs mid hot summer temps.Also wild caught vs corn fed. But to me the only thing better than fried catfish is more of it!
People say some weird stuff. It's called preparing food does it matter if your skinning catfish or an onion. You sympathize with the catfish will to escape and survive but the onion has a different survival strategy. Both are for the food of man.
catfish are kinna small,(like i usually catch) you clean them mostly like i do. i may try the hook on the tree thing tho. but what i like most of all is the HOT chick. gotta love fishing girls! 8-) fyi/ old chicago dude
Can ya'll try and kill the catfish before skinning them? And I think you would get more meat, and have an easier time gutting them if you made a cut down the spine and belly when you pull his skin off.
all I heard was "skins them when their still alive" and my stomach turned from the thought of the torture-how awful and in humane!!! i'm so glad I didn't have to witness that in this video.
hey gypsy moon, this is how it has been done for ages. you must not be an outdoors person. its Ok. you can always go to the local fish market. You do know they will probably do the same thing to the fish if you purchase live fish there, right? did you know that they electrocute the fish to kill them. both ways might be considered inhumane so you might try being a vegan, but that means you would be cutting on live plants. so I cant really help you there. either you are going to accept this way or starve. I'm just saying.
John Doe Agreed. My biggest problem when crappie fishing with live minnows is constantly catching channel cats. Well, I guess not a problem as I will eat them too. But, they hit so hard they ruin my wire hooks and I have to constantly re-rig.
John Doe you do know you can filet Cats the same way as a walleye ? Or youll nail them there fishs to a tree? Cats spend most the time on the bottom waiting for a free meal. I've had them hit a rapala but they still are bottom feeders. I've probably forgot more about fishing then you'll ever know. So don't go there.
I got news for you catfish chase and eat live bait, just ask any bass fisherman who fishes with lures. Every time I go crappie or white bass fishing I catch channel or flathead cat. They don't just suck muck from the bottom. And any fish will eat a dead free meal when presented.
I'm a total city boy and have never fished before in my life but plan on learning this year. Thank you for the informative video.
These videos are great. Nice to see people catching and cooking their own!

The belly is where all the mercury and PCB settles. Never eat that!
I appreciate how consistently you upload videos. I think your family has an interesting life.

I'm in love with this girl :)
Enjoying all your videos! So glad to have discovered you here!
Yes Glen (the dad) is a Pastor and this channel was originally set up to host videos of church events
I love fish with a side of grits. Great video .
no never saw it.... yea youtube changed some settings and I'm having issues with my uploads. I'm working on getting the compass video back up asap
I know exactly where y'all were fishing. I ride through there on the way home from New Orleans. Fun video.
LOL... cats demanding their share
Enjoyed it, what kind of bait r u using?

Where you guys from?....Great vid!
Is that a Schrade knife you're using?

with the temperature of the water, and what season you are fishing. I do not know, but would like

when it comes to catfish, the smaller the better
yes... they look like a cat but bark like a dog :)
City life sucks...ur vids have taught me alot im leaving the city soon because if theres ever a emergency id have a better chance in the wild then this concrete jungle philadelphia lol
can you tell us what bait you used to catch it
catfish is one of the best tasting fish
some small ones there like for mine to be about 5 to 10 pounds before ?I keep them
If I may ask Whats the name of the river!? So I can look it up on Google earth or the like !
we do kill them first. Most people don't but we knife em in the back of the head before skinning
I always kill first. Why would anyone skin a live catfish? Seems like torture to be skinned alive. lol
I always knife them in the back of the head to no reason to make them suffer same way I hunt if needed I will using a finishing shot.
I tried watching the read a compass video you sent me but it says its private and wont let me access it. Im bummed out now.
Your amazing!
Watching stuff like this makes me hungry....

no it's poison. Not deadly but very painful

Which video was it that your cat jumped up and stole something off the gutting tree? lol
it uploaded glitchy so I'm reloading it
was that catfish grunting? o.O
What city do ya'll live in?
@liquidxskin19
we always said that grunt sound was the catfish cussing for being caught
yea no prob
"My knife is too sharp" lol I have that problem a lot too... until I let my dad use them =\ I don't know what it is with him and dulling my blades lol.

Nice fishing spot!
rolling catfish. always tell when ya got one on.

Louisiana
those were perfect eatin size
not be nosy, but legend of boggy creek was in fouke, arkansas.it's east of texarkana. i'm not sure how true the movie was.

At around 3:45 you fed the skin to the cat, kind of cannibalistic if you think about it o.O
Achaffilia River
vise grips,nails& a framing hammer...for the big ones.
Nonsense, fillet them don't skin them. Use a electric knife and a filet knife for the detail work.
Where in the country is this?
louisiana
I was trying to figure out where I've heard that accent before. Now I know... True Blood! Hah.
Yup, definitely Louisiana. Beautiful state.
Thank you!
wow... im in love....
Good one!! ...JImmy...
Slicker (cut bait)
I'm scared to eat catfish from rivers anymore...too many chemicals at the bottom where they feed.
That's the place in we're the red fern grows
