PUSHING 100 LBS!!! Catching My NEW PERSONAL BEST Blue Catfish

  • Wow, what a day! It was just like any other day. The first spot I tried I couldn't get a fish. I then anchored up on a current seam and loaded up on my new personal best blue catfish. The fish bottomed out on my 80 lb scale, so I had to do some measurements. There is a mathematical calculation you can use to get an accurate weight of a fish. Length X girth X girth / 800. I put in the measurements and the calculation came out to be 97.60 lbs, a new personal best for me. I am very thankful and blessed to catch a fish like this. The fish was safely released and ready to fight another day, giving another angler the fight and fish of a lifetime.

    My favorite catfish bait is Sonny's Super Sticky Catfish bait, blood formula. I fish for eaters mostly, no trophies. Fifteen to twenty pounders are the biggest I ever get and I put those back because they don't taste good. Mostly on Percy Priest, Old Hickory and the Cumberland here in Nashville. Lots of great catfishing here. Love your vids! Merry Christmas!

    • @nebraskatpp
      @nebraskatpp 6 років тому

      Keven Johnson ... On the swift Missouri River... our favorites for Flat heads were...LIVE goldfish and bluegills. For tournaments and charters we preferred Chubs and was never without nightcrawlers. The University of Missouri did a study on what the number one catfish attractant was, and discovered it was.... 'Human Saliva'.... I guess the old wives/fishermen's tale about spitting on your bait before using doesn't sound so far fetched now does it?

  • @michaelbates9083
    @michaelbates9083 6 років тому +3

    Great fish! What a lot of fun that had to be landing that pig. Catfish baits used, live shad and blue gill, cut fish, shrimp and dried liver. But the undisputed king of catfish bait is a bruised and badly beaten wolverine.........Go Bucks!!

    Great video brother! That's a monster!!! And I'd have to say by person preference, I like using shad and skipjack but my personal best caught a few months ago was on sucker fish. I like cut bait. It outdoes all the rest.

    Awesome cat! I love your vids! I like using giant goldfish for bait. When I was younger a bait shop I used to go on the OH river had them for 50 cents each. They cost a lot more now$$$

    @karlswanson4968 4 роки тому +1

    Live Bluegills for Flattys, and cut bait, or raw shrimp for channels and blues always works for me. I launch on the big TN River south of Knoxville. Watts Bar Dam area. There are some huge Catfish in there around here too, the kind that will rip your gear out of your hands if your not paying attention .. :)

  • @jamiee8952
    @jamiee8952 6 років тому +1

    Love your videos. We don't get many big blues in NE Tennessee but my favorite baits are nightcrawlers with garlic powder for channels and live sunfish for blues and flatties. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

  • @outdoorsjoe
    @outdoorsjoe 6 років тому

    Congrats Joe! That's an amazing catch.
    My favorite bait to catch all sizes is chicken breasts cut into chunks then put into a Ziploc bag full of strawberry Jell-O powder. Let it soak into the chicken over night and it makes the chicken tougher and the catfish love it. If I'm going for larger cats my favorite is live bream.
    Thanks for all the great videos. I've learned a lot from you.

    Great catch brotha!! Favorite bait that i use is 6 inch or bigger creek chub alive, catches some good flatheads out of our river.

  • @josephmeuret7485
    @josephmeuret7485 6 років тому +1

    Nice work on that monster cat! One of my favorite catfish baits is raw chicken breast which I actually picked up from watching your videos. I'm a bank fisherman in Nebraska, where cast nets aren't allowed so without easy access to live baitfish, raw chicken breast was the next best thing for me. It's easy to get, and those cats seem to love it, especially in the fall.

    • @ChattCats
      @ChattCats  6 років тому

      It's a great bait to use!

    Nice catch! That is definitely a pig! I would have to say sudden impact dip bait to catch lots of catfish & blue gill or cut shad for the bigger cats!

  • @nativewildman9335
    @nativewildman9335 4 роки тому

    Thank you for releasing the fish! One more thing about big fish they have a bigger clutch of eggs. My favorite bait for cats it depends on what I going after : blues shad heads, flathead live green sunfish, channel cat cut bait. Last year I landed most of my channel catfish on artificial lures that's always a great time. I'm new to your channel but I hit the subscribe button. I was lucky enough to get my pb blue on film.
