Flathead Fishing In Heavy Structure
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- July 2022, fishing on the lower White River in Eastern Arkansas. Heavy current and thick cover offered prime fishing habitat for Flathead catfish. Getting them out of the thick logs and pile ups proved to be a difficult task, but we caught up a bunch of dinner plate flatties.

Hello my good friend. What an absolutely amazing upload! So happy we stopped by on a Monday to see your newest video! Big,big,big Like!!!!! Have a great week😇 ✌Nice catches too
Thank you! Appreciate it
That video was so much fun, I had to watch it all the way through. Thanks for sharing.
Lol I appreciate it Richard!
Nice haul of fish Glen , thanks for something good to watch, enjoyed it!!!
We caught up a bunch, we really want to get back a get those big ones up. Appreciate it Edo, I don’t know how good but it was definitely something to watch 😆
Great video! You guys were on top of them. Perfect eaters.
We had a good time. We left wanting to get those big ones out of there. We’re devising a plan to get them out of that heavy cover without getting broke off
Looks like fun man. There is something I love about pulling fish out of chocolate milk water 😀
It’s definitely a good place to fish, especially if you bring a straw lol
Thanks for sharing bud!
Appreciate you PA
Great video Glenn! Keep them coming
Thanks Ted
Another great video Glen! those were some good eating size catfish. Flathead and channels! I wished I lived closer down there! I’d be doing a lot of fishing long that river.
You and me both!
That is some nice flatheads. Looked like a lot of fun.
It was! We’re thinking we need to get those big ones out of there…..so we’re making plans lol
That water was flowing hard. Glad you hooked into some nice ones 👍
I hope it doesn’t drop out before I can get back after big ones. Appreciate it
Good job, videos are coming along good!!
Appreciate that! Still gotta get myself a better tripod so I can set up in a boat better. Appreciate you
Great job guys ! Enjoyed the trip 😊👍
Appreciate it Woody!!
Man Y’all did good bubbA…
Nice show. 🙏🎣💪👍✌️💯
We got what we were after….water flatheads, but those few we lost were big and I can’t stop thinking about another try at them lol
Great day of flathead fishing. Great looking flathead spots you guys were fishing.
I also fish the White River in Indiana 😂
Definitely a good river! We missed on some big ones that we’ll have to give another try lol. Appreciate it
Fellow Arkansan! Love that river!
Absolutely! One of my favorite rivers ti fish, hands down!
@@RaisedOutdoors wish it wasn’t so low this year. Been rough for pole fishing! Plus I bow fish backwater and last year was a good shoot over 3 months time this year we got a good 5 trips and water fell out
@@DallionShefferFishing you’re telling me! I held a tournament and teams split between White and Arkansas. I went to White and had no clue it was on a hard fall until it was too late. 3 weeks prior we were pole fishing 30lb blues. Lowest I’ve ever seen it this early
Awesome day of fishing Glen , great video, my brother lives not to far from the White river in Flippin Arkansas
We’re at the far South part just a short distance from the Mississippi River
That was a ton of fun! That fish jumped when you were weighing that 6.46. I had to rewind it to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Haha. Great video! 👊
He about broke my wrist because I wasn’t ready lol
@@RaisedOutdoors there was one out in the river that jumped! 🤣 or Am I crazy?
@@NaturalStateFishing yea there were some Asian Carp. I saw it in the editing too lol
that looked like alot of fun, you guys really got on them!👍💪
Thanks! We’d like to be back out there, But we have to do adult things lol
@@RaisedOutdoors haha i hear you on that!
Nice batch of fish
Thanks Alvin
Halo teman..
Semua tayangan anda sangat bagus kawan ku
Semoga harimu menyenangkan.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
Thanks for watching!
That water was on the move. Great day of cat fishing
It was pretty stiff but perfect for flatheads. Just gotta get the big ones now…..I got what I need in the freezer lol
@@RaisedOutdoors stay after them
@@SWCFLORIDA that’s the plan
Nice catfish! Looks like a lot of fun, thanks for sharing!
Appreciate it! We’ll be back after the grown up cats lol
Great video. Slippery little suckers huh. Looks like you guys had a nice shady spot on a beautiful river to catch those monsters. That's the makings of a big fish fry. Nice catches.
Definitely enough for a fry! We left really happy with the results for a hot day, but determined to go back and get those big ones out of those lay downs
@@RaisedOutdoors can't wait to see the next fishing trip. Keep up the great work.
Great fishing trip brother ! Thanks for taking us along 😁👍👍
Appreciate you watching us knuckle heads lol
I'm your friend Ill show up for a good fish fry lol! I don't know if I could handle that heat out in the boat!! You had a great day!! Good luck with everything brother!
I appreciate it Mark 😆 I promise if you’re ever down this way we’ll fry some up! The heat started getting to be a little much as it hit around noon but luckily it was bearable before then with the breeze coming off the water
Oh yeah love when the flathead bite picks back up. September around here they will be on fire again.
It’ll be a few weeks but I’m going back to get those big ones out of those log jams if the water is still right
Another good day on the water. Not giants, but some really nice cats.
Definitely good eating! We’ll be back after them big ones because we’re not much into letting them beat us lol
@@RaisedOutdoors I hear ya
Nice job putting that channel cat in timeout…😂 Been there myself, it does help their attitude tho.
Good flatheads, nice day out there!
Yea he was a little rowdy lol. It settled him down a little
Looked like a great day on the water
It was and all I want to do is get back and land those big ones that got away
love that dirty talk lake criso ha ha
Lol yea it gets people riled up. We do mostly catch and eat
Now that’s some good eating!!!
Yessir! It’ll stink up the grease lol. We ready to get the big ones out of there but it’ll be a few weeks
Like 35,
That is catfish look very nice.
I really like this video. Thank you for sharing the wonderful video ☺️. Your work very well and you are very talented 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 dear friend 💞💞💞💞🌹💞💞💞🌹💞💞💞🌹💞💞💞🌹💞💞💞🌹💞 May God bless you and all time happy your life 😊😊🙏🙏 always smile 😊😊🙏🙏 great work ✅
Thank you! Much appreciated
Dang you were catching them left and right!
We found a few lol
Lol I eat them flatheads from 3 to 60lbs they all get released into lake crisco around here!
I wasn’t needing a bunch after the spring we had lol. But I gave everything away to save room for flatheads. If I’m low on food they all get a front row in the freezer. Right now we’re fishing for fun unless something changes 😉
Have a great day, Enjoy your time.
Thanks appreciate it
@@RaisedOutdoors my pleasure
I enjoy yall videos . Need some new ones
We do a little bit of everything. We’ll be back fishing closer to spring. Right now we’re filling freezers and trapping. I really appreciate it!
Are yall catching those on CUT bluegill? Thanks
@@user-go2qn7io2e yup. That’s mostly what we use. Some live bluegill and shad or skipjack occasionally. Mostly cut bluegill in heavy cover
Man y'all were on the eaters. I could have sat there all day and done that. I wonder if the breeder size are still spawning? Great video.
Yea we got in some good eaters for sure. The spawn here is over, we hung a few bigger ones that we couldn’t get out. The small ones were biting so quick nothing stood a chance lol

Purdy river right there
It’s my favorite to fish if you can catch the water right
Howdy from acrost the Stateline. Man this videocmade me wanna fire up the oil for a fish fry
Heck yea! Glad you were able to watch. This video made me want to go back and get those big ones out of that trash! Lol Flathead is definitely my favorite catfish
@@RaisedOutdoors mine as well
Nice Arkansas
Thanks Raymond
$3 for ice? That seems like a bit of a mark up. Do channel cats taste different than flatheads?
Flatheads have flakier meat. The channels in that river are really fatty at times. Channel cats store fat differently than flatheads and blues. Their meat turns yellow with fat and it’s difficult to clean out and can have a strong taste. Not like that everywhere. Flathead and blue cats store a layer of fat on outside of meat that can be trimmed off easily
Glen I’ve caught some good flats in little river mainly blow highway 71 bridge
I’ll keep that in mind! Appreciate the information
What Brand and model is the boat? That’s some good catching!
This is my cousins boat. It’s an Express boat, like a 15 or 16’ is best I know about it. It’s a few years old. I’ll see if I can get the information for you
Thank you
Some good looking fish. Never ate a flathead, what would you say an ideal size is for eating ?
I’m not sure there is an ideal size. It’s all in how they’re cleaned. But usually 3-12 lbs are what are the typical kept for eating.
@@RaisedOutdoors I ment, don't they get too fat once they are over a certain size?
@@BootTrackStories no not really, you hear that from people but blues and flatheads store their fat on the outside of the muscle which makes it easy to remove if you take time to do it. Most people are looking for a beautiful filet. We don’t eat filets from catfish. Every catfish has all red meat and fat removed and is cut into bite sized pieces. They all eat good. Channel cats are different….the excess fat is in the muscle which turns it yellow and is almost impossible to remove. Red meat and fat are what makes catfish taste muddy or fishy and is why many people do not like restaurant catfish
@@RaisedOutdoors That makes perfect sense, I didn't know that.
llats my kind of fishing
Love it
This is the second time I've had to sub you and I watched video, hit thumbs up all that stuff. Stupid UA-cam!
Yea it happens to me a lot too
Which lock was you below?
Actually fishing on the lower white river. A long way from any locks. Last stretch before the Mississippi
@@RaisedOutdoors I'm new to all this I'm gonna try and get my boys hooked on flats between locks 2 and 3. I was told there's not any flats to speak of in the white due to water being too cold. You have renewed my faith in it thank you for your channel
We have a limb line video of catching a 40lb flathead on the White River. Freaks come out at night is the video. The white river is a completely different water way in the north half of the state than the south part. North half might be a little tougher on big catfish
You ever catfish in little river
I have not
I freeze milk jugs for my cooler ice
That’s really what I need to be doing
@@RaisedOutdoors what were you using for bait?
Mostly fresh cut bluegill and green sunfish. We use shad or skipjack sometimes but the flatheads really like that cut bait. We use them live too
@@RaisedOutdoors Will Flat heads eat cut bait if it has been frozen? Im assuming they like it fresh. I run limb lines over here in South Georgia on the Flint river which makes lake Seminole. Im actually right at the mouth of the lake. BTW I run by these self serve ice machines that we have around here and pick up several of the 20 pound ice bags that people throw on the ground. I then take my time filling them from my fridge's ice maker and then put them in my stand up freezer for later.
@@ProjecthuntanFish they will but always better fresh. That’s a great idea!
