@@link_legend2934 I didn’t even say anything. Just tired of sifting through UA-cam videos about fishing and having to hear religious shit in a lot of them.
We have a local river that has given me and my fishing buddy 4 flatheads last year. Each one was caught on night crawlers. We had two 25 pounder’s, one 35 and one 45 pounder.
Love the video! but I always believed that fish was pronounced croppie, even though its spelled crappie, so I looked it up and the pronounce it right web site says Croppie is the correct pronunciation, Thank you for the video have a Blessed day😁 Trump 2024!!
A 25 pound blue is worth a boatload of flatheads to me! Blue's are the best tastin' 'cat there is, and I could make several months of dinners from a huge blue. Honestly, 'cats over 20 pounds USUALLY have alot of wasteful fat. Har' in Okra-Homer, years ago up on Spring River, my Grandma and me caught 3 blue's that totalled about 20 pound. We fried and ATE my 8 pounder on the bank for "breakfast" with Paw-Paw's help. We got some channel cats too using crappie for bait. You probably know, ain't NOTHIN' tastes like one that was swimmin' a half-hour ago fresh-cooked on the banks!
It's like this. It was his fish he used to catch a dandy. !! He can what he wants as long as it's legal if he's putting it out there to be seen by a bunch of karens!!😂
The bait stores at the Mississippi river aux Bose from Cape Gerardo To tunica, cut off just below memphis and on farther about thirty or forty miles south sell huge fantail goldfish Just like they sell menows They work best of all especially if you're fishing with yoyo's and trot lines
Lol...every one where I live mistakenly calls green sunfish " perch" ... Perch, true perch are a gamefish and not allowed as bait in most states. Most likely this gentleman's " perch" are actually sunfish. I was at a fishing seminar once and a Northern pro fisherman freaked when he heard folks saying they used " perch" for bait. I had to explain that southerners oflen call green sunfish " perch".
Crappie are also illegal here in Az and we used to have a one pole limit then that charged for a 2 pole stamp and now we can use 2 poles, but no baiting for deer and no trail cameras and only one deer per year, some years I get a nice buck with a bow then I get drawn for gun season and its a wasted tag not legal to do both but you can buy a archery tag over the counter and get one in the draw? The Game and fish or as we call them coot and carp commission SUCKS here! So I go to Oklahoma for deer we get 6 each!
I live on a private lake and never tried crappie as catfish bait, but now I need to try it cuz my lake does have blue catfish and flatheads among many other fish species
I'm not sure what state you live in, but check the regulations before you do so. In my state, crappie is considered a gamefish, and it's illegal to use them
@@dereksteele2284 Yeah but you can easily get away with it on private lakes. I live in Georgia on a private 250 acre lake and tried almost everything for catfish bait, but even wardens aren’t allowed to trespass here cuz the land has a lot of history with my ancestors who came to an agreement with the government in the early 1900s. It’s a long story but the property was owned by my ancestors from way back in the early 1600s
@braxtonpierce8768 just because you have a low chance of getting caught doesn't make it legal. I also wouldn't be going online and telling someone about something i do that's illegal. I don't know what state you're from, so I really don't know whether it's illegal for you or not, but either way, it's not hurting my feelings
@@survivingwith812catfishing go to the state of Tennessee TWRA rules and regulations for hunting and fishing website and look up the legal baits allowed and what is prohibited. Game fish are not legal bait in Tennessee. If you catch a bass or crappie in a cast net you must release it even if it is a baby fish. Game fish can only be caught by using a fishing pole in hand, no limb lines or jug fishing for them. I'm 60 years old and have lived and fished here for my entire life and know the laws well and anyone from out of state better read the regulations before going hunting or fishing here or pay the price
Where exactly is it legal to use game fish as bait?.... More importantly why would you take a delicious fish to catch a garbage fish most likely full of worms?
Yes...thank you! A muskie, pike or huge walleye...I'm with it...but wasting the slab of a crappie on a fish without fins & scales in pretty much blasphemous! Nah.. just bustin his ball! Have fun & fish folks!🎣🎣🎣💯😛😛
God bless the states the foreigners haven't screwed up the fishing. Not naming any nationality but here in California were lucky to catch a 6lb anything. All Fishermen should follow regulations regardless of nationality ! Local law should be followed at all times !
That's exactly what happened to the catfish population at my favorite lake! They had to up the legal size and then decrease the daily bag limit because They would literally fill up buckets of 12 inch channel and blue cat's. 😅 They measure them from the longest whisker to the lengthist of tail fins. I'm talking catfish with six inch bodies, and when they can't catch em with hooks, they start throwing cast nets and running gil-nets, but they always end up littering the ground with thousands of shad! It's gotten so bad that they've even managed to hurt the baitfish population and Whenever I clean catfish they have nothing but moss and grass in their bellys! 😢
Probably could have caught that cat without using a crappie like that. And a pair of long nose pliers could easily have gotten the hook out of that cats mouth.
Play he caught a couple of crappie that big I'd be taking them home to eat. Because I would have caught some bluegill or or went and got some shad or skipjack. shad and skip Jack are oily fish. They put a scent out there faster and stronger than other fish that's why they can pick up on the scent of them much easier and faster. So I would have used something like that can taking a crappy home to eat.
Dang...so you're telling me that you couldn't use any other trash fish for bait🤔. You used one of the best, if not the best, freshwater fish for that little fish...pitiful.
Where is this? In Minnesota everything you’ve been doing is illegal!!! Can’t use game fish for bait, on the river you cannot fish with more than 2 lines in the water!!! EXCELLENT VIDEO THO!!! Thank You 🙏

Using a Crappie that big to catch a Catfish is like trapping racoons with a piece of sirloin steak 🥩😅
😂😂😂 that’s the best narrative For this post. It’s crazy 😜
I agree what a waste.
I like ribeye better
True that!@@ShiningLightFishing
You have obviously never eaten flathead catfish. A 40lber is as mild and tender as any crappie you have ever tasted.
Waste of a good eating fish
For real
People nowadays will do anything for attention it’s unreal
My words exactly
Got that right
Man those are A one crappies. I would've cleaned them boys up butterfly em season and put a cornmeal jacket on em and stunk up my kitchen

Man that crappy woulda been a good meal lol.
Nice catch but I like crappie to much
I agree there's nothing better in a fish fry then a white perch like that. That was a huge crappie where I come from.

It was , for the catfish that is
That bluecat would have been a better meal

I would eat the crappie, and left the scavenger fish on the bottom.
Good advice
Why do people think catfish are just scavengers? Catfish are predators and this video proved it...
They just go by what they have always heard rather than learning for themselves.
Still a nice catch . Even better fried

Great video that was a fantastic blue New Subscriber, take care

Awesome! Crappie doesn’t compare to how good flathead tastes. Besides, anyone can catch crappie and bass.
You got that right!
Thats a blue, not a flatty
That catfish did not eat that 14 inch crappie. I don’t believe it.
Thanks for your comment.
That fish isn't big enough to have swallowed the crappie. It got knocked off in the fight reeling it in

Several years back my brother got a ticket for using a crappy as bait the game warden said it was because it was a sporting fish
They are legal in Tennessee . If caught in rod and reel and over ten inches and your limit is 15.
It’s depends on your state
@@tangobear5359It’s illegal in Missouri to use sport fish for bait . It’s also illegal to hunt over bait like they do in Texas . I use perch or shad.

8 ounce
