I’ve watched this video three times now and I love it. Keep putting out these kinds of videos, and the ones where you cook the fish. Much love and respect and can’t wait till the next one.
Should catch some on bottom in the shallows right now in wire nets. Catfish against the bank right now, and will move back to deep water after the spawn. Good luck!!
Thanks, appreciate it. We do try to get a little of everything we do, so it's close to one I guess. I just see some of those vlogs they put everything on and ends up being a bunch of nonsense, lol. We try to keep our more quality footage
Bradley: another very good video! That's some fine looking nets you built there - I just don't have the skill or patience to build my own as you do. In my opinion, there's no better fish than opps no matter how you fix em. Your videos are good enough to make the viewers feel like they're right there with you. Cheers - Roy
I can’t believe you didn’t have all kind of bass baits hung in your webbing specially the nets close to the boat houses and piers. Besides redfish spottycat is my favorite fish for a coubion. Y’all did good on that run.
Oh sure we do. There in there somewhere mixed in on the catch * clean * cook videos. I'm gonna do some more videos dedicated to species specific cleaning like we did the Buffalo cleaning video. We didn't realize those type videos would be popular. Just happen to be dressing some today, so I'll shoot those videos!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I appreciate it. I fish Eagle, chotard and albermarle thinking seriously on getting in the net biz. Appreciate all your videos, some really good content 👏
Their is no bait. Those fish are either going in their to spawn or feed on perch. Once one goes in, sometimes several more do. What you don't see is 8 out of 10 nets may not even have a fish. Then sometimes, they just fill up. It's hot and miss
Thank you and I appreciate the info I never knew pretty cool thank you my friend watching and keep giving a thumbs-up may God bless you and have many more fishing trips like that with lots of big flat heads
Thank you. The thumbs up, comments, questions, information, etc is what we're about. All that's what makes the channel. We try to help our viewers as much as possible!!
Not way easier for us. Our flew lines tie out in the tail of the nets. The way we build them the tension on the tail line is what holds the throat open and makes it catch. I know some store bought hoop nets may have draw strings back there, but I can probably dump those fish quicker than fooling with untying and retying a draw string. Our wire nets are different, because the throats tie to side so we use a drawstring in them
That tail line is also dipped in tar. Those knots are not coming untied. In one of my net build videos you can see I put a lot of hitches in there to hold that tension on the catch throat
In Louisiana were allowed 100 catfish in aggregate on a Recreational license. However if your commercial there is no limit. They have to be longer than 14 inches.
Just getting started with nets. I’ve just got a couple of 4’ nets but my mesh size is 1 1/4”. Do I need to get some with larger mesh for flatheads. Your videos are great keep it up
Thank you for cutting out the 0.50 sec intro, it helps me stay awake for these videos. I like when you got straight into the content. Can you tell me sir or miss…are there other types of fish you catch regularly in God’s country besides these catfish because they are not very tasty to me and have that soil smell/after taste? Can you catch blue fin tuna, Salmon or Barracuda’s in these ponds? Do you have any alternative recipes besides deep fried sir/miss? Is catfish sushi dangerous?
If you leave one in, there is a danger of them dying left in too long. They will also eventually be all skint up. I've heard of people doing that, but it's just not something I've done. Some say leave the female. Well, if she lays out in a hoop net, I highly doubt the eggs will hatch out
No bait in your nets? I was curious about catchin ops in a net considering they only eat live bait(at least that and noodlin is the only way i ever caught em)
Spot on. No bait. They either go in looking for a bed or they go in looking for a bream or perch. Bait fish like structure and Hoop nets are Structure. Thanks for watching!!
Nothing against these people but this is one of the reasons why cat fishing with poles is getting harder and harder to catch nice size fish.and alot of people like this will sell the big cats to pay lakes.
"people like this", you got no idea about people like this. People like this feed themselves and help educate others on how to do the same. If you live near pay lakes, you live no place near us🤣🤣🤣. We in the south man. Most people in these parts just like us. A pay lake loose money down here cause we can feed ourselves. Your squabble with pay lakes ain't with us🤣🤣🤣
I got something against people like this. I'm from the south. People like this raping the rivers aND lakes have destroyed our flathead fishing.They keep everything they can get their hands on from big breeders to small fry. No respect for these people.Period
Pole fishermen blame commercial fishermen when they can't catch any fish. The reason you're not catching is because when a catfish gorges himself , he's not interested in food. He may lay there for a week digesting what he's eaten , similar to a snake. When they do feed, it's not for long as it doesn't take but a few minutes to get a belly full of shad or other fish. Pole fishing is hit and miss and you have to be in the right place at the right time. We commercial fish the MS River heavily from KY on down toward Memphis and there are more catfish than there have ever been , especially 80 to 100 pounders. I've never seen anything like it. Many of these are turned loose repeatedly all year. You will catch more trophy size fish where it is commercially fished because they don't have as much competition for food. I could take Pole fishermen in my boat at certain times of the year and blow their minds as to what is there. They are so thick in Maryland and the Chesapeake Bay , that they're destroying the native species of fish and crabs and there's a bounty on blue cat.
People just get jealous because they can't catch. Look what's happening now with the crappie industry. People gonna always blame someone else for their shortcomings, when they'd be better off just enjoying what they do
Very nice haul! For a couple of years right before I was a teen we'd run to the Mississippi on Saturday and go out with a commercial fisherman, that was originally from my hometown, and run his jugs right below lock and dam 19. He'd of been well satisfied with that harvest. I asked a local FWC Officer about why metal trapping isn't allowed in the river I live on, he didn't even know it wasn't. He pulled it up and read it, didn't know why it was there, and said he'd get back with me about it. He knew of 3 that did but said he wasn't going to do anything about it because the long time Officers never had. I'm finishing the one I'd started.
Best eating fish ever ❤ catfish fried , grill , gravy and on the grill
You right, lot different ways you can cook up a catfish!!!
Very nice. Them dang nets are working. Best fish there is. Glad your shared.
Thanks Rod, working indeed!!
The Lord certainly blessed y’all that day! Praise God!
Yes sir!! Thanks
I’ve watched this video three times now and I love it. Keep putting out these kinds of videos, and the ones where you cook the fish. Much love and respect and can’t wait till the next one.
Thanks. The comments and requests are much needed. Requests like yours let us know what direction to head next. Thanks!!
Nice catch! I think I’m gonna set my wire nets out this weekend. I haven’t had them back in the water for about 2 months. Keep up the good videos!
Should catch some on bottom in the shallows right now in wire nets. Catfish against the bank right now, and will move back to deep water after the spawn. Good luck!!
That’s what I’m talking about! Very Nice!!!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!!
That is a pile of flatheads! King of the water!
They are definitely the apex predators in our parts!!
That’s some mighty fine eating! Good video brother. 👍🏻
Yes they are. Glad ya enjoyed, thanks for watching!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 no problem. We subscribed. Me and my boys have enjoyed the videos, they love fishing and hunting.
Fantastic. Keep them in God's Country, and they will make ya proud later in life!!!
Subscribed as well. Way to capture the memories early. Wish we had, lol
Nice run on the ops!! Just got my pit going and watching this awesome vlog!!!
Lol, I have to edit too much for it to be a vlog, glad you enjoyed!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 we edit a lot on our travel vlogs to. Great job with the editing and filming.
Thanks, appreciate it. We do try to get a little of everything we do, so it's close to one I guess. I just see some of those vlogs they put everything on and ends up being a bunch of nonsense, lol. We try to keep our more quality footage
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 thats the best way, do you and your wife. It's great.
Thanks!!
That be some good eatin! Awesome catch!
Thanks brother!!

Good lord man lol what a freaking haul. That was awesome
Thanks!!
I can’t believe you didn’t have all kind of bass baits hung in your webbing specially the nets close to the boat houses and piers. Besides redfish spottycat is my favorite fish for a coubion. Y’all did good on that run.
Only thing we ever end up with on the nets are crappie jigs, lol. Gotta watch out for them too or you'll get one in the hand. Thanks for watching!!
That’s awesome!!! Won’t be long and y’all will have this net fishing figured out. 😂
Maybe by next year🤣
Those are some monster fish. Do you have any videos showing you shinning and filleting the fish?
Oh sure we do. There in there somewhere mixed in on the catch * clean * cook videos. I'm gonna do some more videos dedicated to species specific cleaning like we did the Buffalo cleaning video. We didn't realize those type videos would be popular. Just happen to be dressing some today, so I'll shoot those videos!!
I’m from Alexandria. When y’all have a meet and greet??
Love yall content
Lol, didn't know we were big enough for a meet and greet🤣🤣🤣
Another great trip eat some for me. 👍
Already did🤣🤣
That's a haul hand!! Don't mind me asking, what are yall baiting your hoop nets with?
No bait at all. You can ask anything on our channel. We normally reply to all !!!
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 I appreciate it. I fish Eagle, chotard and albermarle thinking seriously on getting in the net biz. Appreciate all your videos, some really good content 👏
No problem!! We need more nets builders out there, so good luck if you do!!
When you're catching them flatheads what do you use for bait in them I noticed I don't see you put any bait in your hoop nets
Their is no bait. Those fish are either going in their to spawn or feed on perch. Once one goes in, sometimes several more do. What you don't see is 8 out of 10 nets may not even have a fish. Then sometimes, they just fill up. It's hot and miss

Y'all loaded the boat.
That was a real good run for us this year!!
Holy Smokes that’s a pile of flatheads!!
Lol, almost looked like your icechest🤣
@@godscountryhuntingfishing1638 😂 that beat my ice chest by a mile
Lol, yours wasn't bad!!
One question! Why not untie the tail line? Way easier
Not way easier for us. Our flew lines tie out in the tail of the nets. The way we build them the tension on the tail line is what holds the throat open and makes it catch. I know some store bought hoop nets may have draw strings back there, but I can probably dump those fish quicker than fooling with untying and retying a draw string.

That tail line is also dipped in tar. Those knots are not coming untied. In one of my net build videos you can see I put a lot of hitches in there to hold that tension on the catch throat
Now that’s a mess of cats. Good fish bud.
Yes sir!!
Those are my Pa’s nets
Lol, doubt that
How many flatheads are you allowed?
In Louisiana were allowed 100 catfish in aggregate on a Recreational license. However if your commercial there is no limit. They have to be longer than 14 inches.
Great way to ruin a fishery
No idea what your talking about. Besides that, what fishery. They eat everything else 😂😂
If you need help cleaning call me 😂😂
You mean eating?
Just getting started with nets. I’ve just got a couple of 4’ nets but my mesh size is 1 1/4”. Do I need to get some with larger mesh for flatheads. Your videos are great keep it up
You can use those and they will catch. Their just gonna mud up bad and be really hard to raise in current. I like 3.5ft hoops, 2-2.5 mesh
Ok thanks. I’ll get a couple in that size
You'll see the difference for sure, and your back will tell you what to go with, lol
Thank you for cutting out the 0.50 sec intro, it helps me stay awake for these videos. I like when you got straight into the content. Can you tell me sir or miss…are there other types of fish you catch regularly in God’s country besides these catfish because they are not very tasty to me and have that soil smell/after taste? Can you catch blue fin tuna, Salmon or Barracuda’s in these ponds? Do you have any alternative recipes besides deep fried sir/miss? Is catfish sushi dangerous?
Have a blessed day!!!
Man looks like you will need some help eating all the fish.i tell you what that is the best eating fish they got
I definitely ain't ever turned any down at the table. They fine!!
She’s going to have to get in the water to get away from the fish.
Real close, real close. We forgot my board. I normally keep a board in there in front of the seat to keep that from happening. Glad ya enjoyed!!
If 1 fish going in causes others to go in as well,why would you not leave 1 in the net.
If you leave one in, there is a danger of them dying left in too long. They will also eventually be all skint up. I've heard of people doing that, but it's just not something I've done. Some say leave the female. Well, if she lays out in a hoop net, I highly doubt the eggs will hatch out
Flatties' season?
Full on!!!
