- Some spring time Catfishin' with my Pop. We combined with some different ideas and techniques to produce some nice fish... 86lb total for five fish. Now I get to pack 'em out... the thrill of victory :)

"Please clean up after yourself and those that may not be as considerate :)" +1 Karma for you my friend.
Thanks for "picking up" on that and reposting... helps with keeping Neptune happy and improving a persons odds for success.
Video is good fun. But the part I like best is the ending paragraph. I always tell my kids when we get ready to leave to find some trash and pick it up. Leave the area better than it was when you got there. Nice fish!
you sir.. and your kids, get a BIG thumbs up :) Happy fishing
hummm..very nice and effective technique..i must use it..
...I use the 'dip' on roe when fishing for salmon and steelhead in the river as well. It really seems to trigger strikes when fish are sulky, just be ready for "questions" from less productive anglers.. my normal reply is; ''the same thing you're using...'' :)~
You should put your bait and fishing set up in the description. Those were some great cats.
thank you for not needing curse words to express yourself.
+Lalo “laloelmalo” Jimenez - Thanks ;-) One small step.. can help clean it up
+1moonbuggy dude I get it when u said "one small step..." because ur name is 1moonbuggy
+Ty Pree - Awesome :)
Well he's a friggin bodybuilder so he can obviously pull in those monsters.
Lmfao
Great vid, and fishing with your dad happy days. If everyone cleaned up after themselves the world would be a better place. May the sun shine on you and yours.
fun. you
fun. you
Great fish..just beautiful, well done...
Beautiful fishing hole.Keep enjoying what ya love.Great vid and cant wait to see the next.
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement... "It's one thing to live an inspired life, but quite another to live an inspiring life" - 1moonbuggy. Sir, keep on inspiring... :)
Bout time he done fishing he gonna be well done lol why so colorful
..and that's with a ton of sun-block, that spray-on stuff sucks!!
Nice video brother good day of fishing and that water is calm from the looks of it.
I know some places with big channel cats nice video
That is one lovely fishing hole.
...just a little ol' pond ;-D ....thanks and tight lines
Those are some dandy channel cats.
Nice! those are trophy sized channel cats in my experience and opinion
Agreed.. looking for a repeat this spring :) & Thx for the thumbs up..
I'm so jealous...for 2 reasons.... that is an awesome catch.... and 2. I cannot find ANYONE to go fishing with in southwest ohio... I hit all the big lakes around here, but usually by myself... I love white bass, largemouth, smallmouth, crappie .... Occasionally I snag a saugeye ... great video... great catch...my favorite bait is a white rooster tail.... not big into live bait, but i can handle it...no prob
Keep after it... sounds like you have a good appreciation for the outdoors and fishing. I've formed some good friendships with people that I met fishing and only see when each of us show up in the same spots every year... no planning, just show up and fish together :)
Cool video!
Thank ya' sir...
nice catfish for sure
If you want to catch some big catfish use shrimp for bait. I use it when I fish the Chemung river for catfish. It works great. We have three species of catfish in the Chemung river the flathead channel and blue. That white albino catfish in the Chemung river nicknamed big sam is hybrid with all three species the flathead channel and blue. I don't know how rare that is. Great fishing Robert Gildea Romans 6:23
Great video I subscribed I'm John C Brownlee from Lake Tawakoni in Wills point tx.
I think this is amazing. I go fishing all the time I'm only 12 and a girl. I ketch catfish all the time down bye a lil creeck bye my house I caught a 13 pound catfish from using a strawberry
That is awesome. Had you used strawberries for bait before?? I've heard of using grapes in the summer when they're falling off the vines, never tried it tho...
I kno I love to go fishing aswell and I caught two catfish with my hands one 2 years ago and one 1 year ago one is about 4 inches and the other is 3
4:43 mysterious people in background that vanish in the forest
I catch and release......right into my cast iron frying pan! Nice fish, great video! Never mind the ignorant "catch and release" types, they wouldn't know what to do with a clue if they had one....
Nice catch bro
That's a nice channel cat!
Yes and... "thank you sir, may I have another!?" :)
Those are some really big channel cats. Every where I go along the river I find garbage . People just don't care.
+Jake Radcliff - Sad and with no thought for the consequences. While fishing here my year old pup ate a discarded stink-bait holder with treble hook and leader attached... I worried I'd lose her and blamed myself, she's my little one. It took two days to find out what made her sick. Not something anyone should have to go through due to inconsiderate entitled people... So thanks for helping clean up the "garbage" and... picking up the trash :) ..."Kid, a person can be smart, but people are stupid..." MIB
Great video, finally someone that actually keeps their fish, when is dinner?
Thx! ..dinner comes when the fishin's done!!.. tasty nuggets they were!! ..Did someone say Spring Catfishin is just around the bend and all the lakes have water.. Woop-Woop
Nice cats dude. Keep the videos coming
Thanks... will do, the spring season grows near B-)
I agree nice fish
nice catches man! those are some really big channels!! i just landed my pb a week ago a 30 pound flathead..
With those muscles i'm surprised you didn't just swim out there and pluck them out of the water by hand.
...with a knife between my teeth
I think this may be the only person that may strike fear in chuck norris
amazing channels guys
Thanks for watching and the compliment :)
So if I catch fish from here,I too shall be this ripped
Dude, them are great channel cats. Depending on the state your in, there could be a record channel cat in there. Here in ky the record is 32#. Great video, and yes I clean up after me and the inconsiderate ones too!!
+Ross McClure - Thanks for the comments and being one of the "good ones"... gotta change some of that negative perspective and reap the rewards... fish on
+Ross McClure Hey I'm also from Ky, where do you do your catfishin at?
+Monica Grant I'm also from Kentucky, I usually go to Frankfurt at the fish and wildlife hq pond they got, the catfish are decent there but not nearly as close to 15-20 pounds :/
+Monica Grant ohio river mostly, some ky river, and some of the small state lakes around
that's gon be some good eatin
not really I like the 5-12 pounds they taste the best older ones are best left to breed
That's some big fish
+Mckennis Savoie - Spring is here... gonna get me some of that. Looking to go bigger :)
wow big catfish
biggest channel cat ive ever seen
roma kozlovsky - Me too! And the biggest I'd caught to this point... But, I've been fishing so stay tuned...
That looks like one of the best places to fish and live. That first fish your dad showed was so clean for a catfish. ready to eat. Have you guys seen or caught the giant catfish that are over 6 feet?

+حمزه محسن ةنانعهغفغعهعععععععععتااتتتعغاب
Sum big channels!
thanks
That looks like more of a lake than a pond
..definite pond, it's only like 5 miles across and 20 miles long?? :)
@@redlinetimber oh yeah, definitely pond size.
Nice fish just wish we could catch something like that up here in Illinois they hard to catch up here and we use liver
Keep on keepin' on... that's why we call it fishin'. If there's perch or crappie in the lake target some of those, then cut the head and tail off, stick a knife in the gut and fish it like you normally would. You might be surprised at what rears it's wiskery face :)
Nate McCombs i live in il and catch about 10 a day and all over 9 pounds and a 7 pounder every once in a while use hotdogs or shad and you will start too see better results
Is that a private lake? Or is it public water? Can you or will you tell us where it is at?
Sure is some pretty country! Live or cut bait is always best for the big ones!
Marty Mac - Big, big public water. Any of the "5 top places to fish" in the "Sate of Jefferson" will produce fish like this... Timing and Bait is key :)
I know where you are mr moonbuggy!! I caught my biggest cat in the same lake
about 30lbs
Awesome, thanx for checkin' in... I'm looking for a 30#er. Is it green and white with whiskers?... I think I left it at the lake... :)
water is low right now! Where you caught those cats it is dry
Where at???
I caught a 18 pound blue catfish during a crank bait
I've said it before.. they're top tier predetors that will go after live bait fish... or crank baits, it's a good way to target big cats
Nice guns
Anyone else notice the fish jump at 3:45?
Yea
Also at 2:00
What i do is i take a ten can and drill holes in it and put chicken liver in it and cast it in the water so u can get a bunch of catfish to bite
..there's that... Then there's the: no attractant shall be used or placed in the water so as to attract fish without being attached to a legal hook, line and rod attended by a licensed angler... just sayin'..
I didn't want to go fishing today because I wanted to go to the shooting range and blast off my guns...after watching this video...I'm fucking going fishing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't gonna go shooting till the weather cools down... now I've gotta go do it. I just boresighted my sporterized 6.5x55 swede M94 carbine. It's a 1911 Carl Gustav, w/bipod and CP 4-16x40 scope... Thanks the push as well as the thumbs up and tuning in :)
1moonbuggy Nice!
Is it bad that I just came to watch this video to see the guy shirt less
..pretty straight foward, but General consences is.. No.. :) thx for the compliment, much appreciated.. Fun!! :)
oh yeah...nice
...keeping the dream alive till next time :)
kid movie's
ever used bacon for bait? works pretty well, if you ever get the time you aught to do a video of fishing and comparing different baits. I'm 14, and the biggest channel cat I've caught was only 6 pounds. i wish i lived closer to a lake, i just fish in the small creeks that run around here. how deep of water was you fishing? and was it a rocky bottom or sand?
Never tried bacon. Since I've begun targeting big cats, I've found they perfer letting little ones eat the scraps and then they eat the little fish. Kinda of a "two fer one" deal. I'm casting 80 to 90 ft from shore and sitting about 8ft deep in the transition zone between the rocky points and the sand/mud flats. At 14 that drivers license is just around the corner, time to start saving money and mapping your future trips... Tight lines and bent rods :)
1moonbuggy
Yea I've noticed that too. The little cats eat up the liver and such the big fish prefer live food. The problem I have is hooking my bait fish. I hook them to get attention of the larger fish but the way that works best kills them after only a few hours. If you don't mind spilling a few secrets how do you hook them and about what size are your bait fish and what kind of bait fish do you use? I personally prefer bluegill about 1-1.5 inches but I'm definitely open to suggestions!
Holy Smokes!!
...that about covers it.. I was thinking the same thing along the way- just incredible fishing! ...Thanks
What kind of bait and rig??? Nice job btw
while u were reeling in the first fish i saw another big one jump
Yep.. @ 2:03 on video on left side.. I saw that also. Looked like a nice size bass possibly
Chelsea Henry - Big spawning Carp... lots of 'em :)
WAR should be replaced by fishing , then the world would be a better place. Instead of fighting , jus have a fishing tournament.
but then the world would be over fished and that's almost worse than war
+Omari Mitchell - Wouldn't that give Asians an unfair advantage... they seem to do pretty well in tounaments
+Ty Pree - It'd have to be catch and release fishing for sure :)
They will clean out a whole lake if you let them...they even keep the babies too
That younger dude is ripped, and looks extremely sun burnt.
At 3:26 was a nice fish breeching on other side of pond!
+tokiesgalore - Big spawning Carp... would make for some fun bow-fishing! Speaking of... Brownlee Res. on the Snake River has a Big Carp Bow tournie in late spring... big fish and crazy home built boats/shooting platforms
awesome fish! what bait did you use? and I assume you where on the bottom?
Cut bait... whole anchovie, cut in half, dipped in tuna oil. Rig an ounce of lead on a slider and fish it on the bottom. Leave the bail open and turn on clicker... let 'em take it for a 10 count... then, cross it's eyes with your hook-set.... :)
The key to eating big cats is to hang them and cut the tail off and bleed them out before cleaning them . The meat will turn white .
Now we're getting somewhere... Keep those fat cats alive on a stringer and/or wet gunny sack until you're ready to cut their tail, no more yellow catfish meat, just clean white flakey fillets :) Great input
You can wack 'em on the head, right before cutting the tail, so it's knocked out... But the general idea is to allow the heart to pump the blood out of the vessels to increase the quality of the fare. Proper handling and care of the catch is how I show respect for the harvest and those that enjoy the bounty :)
1moonbuggy love it... about how long does it take em to bleed out?
Fifteen to thirty minutes... enough time to set up the cutting table, get out the hose and sharpen the knives. Next, the fillets go straight into the Food Saver and then the freezer.
hog-tacular lol reminds me of halo
Explain?... I know Hog-tacular, but what's halo
1moonbuggy halo is a video game
Huh, KO... how do they use "tacular""? ....at the end of words as well
Damn ! Where,when and what type of bait ? Nice job !
Can't say where (ethics and all), during the first warm-up of the lake in spring (may-june), typically "cut" bait-fish that the big cats are targeting: bluegill, crappie or shad (use the gut section) And I like herring, as it's oily with lots of shiny scales. ;)
1moonbuggy
Oh yeah,gotta watch the ethics lol !
this is huge fishing, who didn't try to nail catfish, that one doesn't know and thinks it's easy. nope. fishing like this takes some expertise. ..
Thanks for the BIG thumbs-up... you're right, this was a pretty special trip for us as well... it doesn't happen like this with-out lots of good ju-ju :)
He is a good size for eating also nice and fat lot of meat on him :D
Yep, just fillet all the "color " off the meat(reddish lines on skin side) and trim the yellow fat to a minimum. Now ya got the best tasting flakey white fish there is... better than Ocean fish in my opinion. Mmmm... fish tacos, pescado al mojo de ajo, nuggets and hushpuppies. Time to hit the pond!!
Awhh the samon rods done put the " mustards on em' "
Whats that mean? Lol
Well after a little chuckle, I gave it some thought... Back in my logging days we used to say, "never holler 'ho' on a hard pull". So when I'd hook a tuff "turn" of logs, I'd tell the operator to "put some mustard on it"... in reference to "pouring coal" or "putting heat" to the boiler (steam boiler "donkeys" were used to yard logs back in the day). Basically, I'm making a colorful reference to the amount of pressure the rod puts on the fish :)
great looking fish what kind of bait were you using??
+Ryan Hogan - Anchovy, cut in thirds, dipped in Tuna oil... I fish it on the bottom. Using a 3.0 hook, w/24" x 25# leader, clipped to a locking snap swivel, with a sinker slider moving on the 15# main line... leave the bail open and wait...
+1moonbuggy awesome thanks for the help
Those are some pretty long rods
They're salmon and steelhead rods designed for PacNW rivers. Super sensitive tips with blank thru design for a stiff back-bone. They allow for casting long leaders (tuff to cast a six foot leader with a six foot rod), working fish around or under the boat and afford solid side pessure when turning hot fish... And they work great on BIG catfish. Here fishey...
might have to get me some of those
I know someone who caught 200 pounds of fish in two hours.. They only caught five fish maybe
what kind of bait yall used
nice
Thanks for the comment... B-)
Man I would love to go on a fishing trip with yall are yall located in texas
... I can say this is a West Coast lake, CA
Awesome man keep making those amazing videos I really enjoyed watching
Thanks... tight lines and cold drinks :)
Nice fishing , what are you using for bait?
Some years are better than others and this was a good one! We're fishing whole herrings, cut in half at the guts, dipped in tuna oil. My other video "Using cut bait to catch BIG catfish", shows the rig and bait. Will be posting a new one on "How to Tie an Egg Loop knot to hold Cut Bait".
this place looks amazing wheres it located?
I've only ever caught small catfish. Make no mistake, I take 'em home, skin 'em, clean 'em and eat 'em up. I'd love to see a video on cleaning those big bastards. How 'bout it?
Lawson Poling - I like it. Big or small, we eat 'em all... just like Grampa used to :) I'll shoot the fillet process and post that up after this next trip... thanks for the suggestion. Bent Rods and cold beverages to ya!
If you don't mind me asking, where were you all fishing.
Looks like a great day on the water with you pops. Where you all fishing? What part of the states? I live in Indiana and I catch some nice cats also.
where are u catching these big cats
van scott - Nor-Cal, "The State of Jefferson"
Look at them fish jumping at 4:48! They are begging for some attention!
Breeders aint eaters man... unless its a private pond leave em for future generations.
man I hate the croc roll these big brown trout I fish for in TN do the croc roll I lost a 5 pound trout last week cause he was doing the croc roll had 6 pound test on and snapped it like nothing he pulled the drag way out down river
What reel are you using to land these cats?
I would like to know what kind of bait do you use that really works?
frank sanchez - Fresh cut Crappie mid-section w/guts, sprinkled in fairy dust (dipped in tuna oil)
don't hold the fish with your hand in the gills you could brake bones and could also could really hurt the fish if you are doing cach and release
+Gadge Miller - Yeah, big Cats have strong boney gill plates that can crush fingers and I always release them into my freezer cache... B-)
They get released in to my frezer ti
;3
Hey man, I need some advice. So I went earlier down to my local lake and went fishing for a couple hours. I only caught 1 fish. Am I using wrong bait, or what? Please tell me!
just an unlucky day man :/ we all have emailed xD better luck next time
+ByArtiful - ?? Water temp, ?? Bait, ?? Time of day, ?? part of lake did you target.... a little info and I'll try to point ya in a better direction :)
If i catch a flathead and it's big enough for filets it's going home with me
what are you using for bait and rigs i love this vid thow
I prefer the cut herring or shad, something with shiny scales and lots of oils. The rig is a 3/0 octopus hook tied to a 24" leader, with an "egg loop" knot, under a sliding sinker set up. Coming soon: a "Rods and Rigs" video to help give a better visual of the system and knots. Check back soon and... Thanks for posting up!
1moonbuggy Just subscribed. Hope to see that video soon. =)
@TommyTomLP - Thanks for tuning in, the Sub and comments. Got some more in the works, still fine tuning. We'll see ya then, if not sooner...
4:40 people walk by in the backround
... and left some litter to be picked up :(... Garbage breeds like rabbitts
Where are you fishing?
what baits u are using fir catching cat big so big??
...cut up bait-fish. The kind they prey on; shad, crappie, perch or kokanee salmon work best. I like to dip the pieces in tuna or shrimp oil to help disperse the scent trail as well...
Too bad they couldn't be released to be caught another day they would have been great brood stock.Selective harvest!
+Eugene Parkison - Would you be happier if I told you I lost as many as I caught...
+Eugene Parkison - ....NOT! But there were a few involuntary releases, missed hook sets, etc... So, I'm sure there's plenty left for breeding... I'll let you know this spring :)
that is a big catfish
there was a fish jumped up
Golden Bonefish... spawning Carp, the bait fish come for the eggs, the catfish come for the bait fish and I'm there... for the scenery ;-)~
Where was this?
...the Golden State/state of Jefferson
Please tell me that you did not release it after you caught it...I REALLY hate that!!!! Get some canola oil, a cast-iron skillet, season salt or Old Bay seasoning, black pepper, a catfish batter or some cornmeal, some hot sauce and mustard WITH a couple of beers, AND DINNER IS SERVED, BABY!!!!!!!! Add a side of grits and some collard greens...and you won't get up from the dinner table!!!!
Kevin James -That's what I'm talkin' ...and now I'm really hungry
Kevin James i hate fish lol
TheSlightlyHomosexualFeminist - Sorry Charlie... it's the chicken of the sea. We don't like fish with good taste, we like fish that taste good :)
+Kevin James tell me you don't get "catch n release" ? imagine that
If you don't love catfish, you shouldn't be fishing for them, and you're the ones who lack good taste.
Channel cat take a very long time to get that big. Sad to see them go. Anything over ten pounds should be let go. They are a reproductive means for the water.
Bryce Coffman - So you're hoping for a date?... get her number, leave us out of it and take her out for some Farm(dog food) -raised(in poo) Sushi..... enjoy
Where is this place at that u are fishing?
What the rod and reel and what pound test is the line?
Actually, all rods are rigged with 15# Berkley Trilene Big Game (extreme fighting power) ulta-green... I do use the 20# Big Game for chinook salmon tho.
ware are you guys fashing at
Where is this?
What type of catfish is this?
...big fat Channel Cat :)
What lake are you fishing at?
Since I think you can keep a secret and no one else is listening.... in the State of Jefferson, at the top of "no name ridge" is the spring head for "can't remember creek", follow that downhill to the impoundment and then you've found it... :)
