[@fishmaniachannel]

Beautiful weather n fishing 👌❤️

[@pastmasters9591]

Tom! I just landed my first 20+ lb carp yesterday morning! Using your tactics. Thanks my friend

[@OutsidewithTom]

Nice work!

[@csabi6356]

cool vids tom you deserve more views

[@OutsidewithTom]

I appreciate that!

[@Tilbily]

Absolutely agree. One saturday last summer, we had rain squalls all afternoon. On a whim I jumped in my van and went catfishing. I figured no people. The rear door of my van was my canopy between bites. Best outing ever. Got drenched but constant hits and no people. Invested in rain gear since. They're spawning here, started this week. Love your vids, Sir. They'll keep me fired up while waiting for post spawn.

[@OutsidewithTom]

Sounds like a great day to me! Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks!

[@k9er233]

Hey Tom, another great fishin' video. When I can't be on the water, I come here to your adventures to get my fix. 😉 BTW, the small fin that you pointed out that is between the Dorsal fin and the tail is called the Adipose fin. The Caudal fin is the tail fin. (retired fishery biologist here)

[@OutsidewithTom]

Whoops, thanks for the correction on the fin. Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks!

[@pimpmasterx7]

around my area i cant get a bite till after dark, but we got 80s-90 degree weather most of the week this time of year

[@OutsidewithTom]

It'll be the same here once those higher temps come.

[@bleed_from_within_is_life9960]

I havent seen the first fish yet
But unless hes targeting channels 20 pounds is a baby not no trophy
My pb blue was 102pounds

[@bleed_from_within_is_life9960]

My 2nd comment now that i seen the 1st fish
Im not positive when catfish spawn and dont know much of anything about channel cat but i know with other fish when they spaw they tear they fins and shit like that up

[@kavak1344]

Do you ever specifically make and use boilies for catfish?

[@OutsidewithTom]

I don't, but I know guys in Europe like to use boilies & pellets for catfish.

[@davidgarcia9808]

No boats, no jet skis , so I guess you don't missed your Walleye fishermen??

[@OutsidewithTom]

Funny part is, the weather would have been great for walleye fishing too. But, seems like most people are fair weather fishermen, which is just fine with me.
