04:15 go back with a magnet, or big tipple hook, and get that reel ho ho. Excellent vidio, no silly music, just sound of the water, and clunking of the camera brilliant
Damn, there's some pretty big bluegills in there! Was cool to finally see one of these videos without unnecessary music, effects, or over editing. Thanks for that. Good to know there's still grown ups making content.
You wouldnt even notice that monsters lie beneath. They are so used to it that they have adapted and became smarter. Locals probably only know the magic to catch them
My dad love eating bream and bluegill. It was like he had a deboner in his mouth. In less than a minute he had a stack of bones. I use to tell him i think you eat em....lol 😆
@Justin Prater ! Hey I think you have documented a significant zoological problem in your spillway! If I’m not mistaken on the bed of the spillway lie several Zebra Mussels a very invasive species of mollusk. You should report this to your local fish and wildlife and they should look into it immediately. These can have devastating effects on the habitat and ecosystem in your local water way. I would hate to see them wreck another fishery! Please listen to me? I’m serious. Time is of the essence! See 4:15 white and black striped mussels will be bad news! Take it from a fellow Kentucky man!
@Fun With Minerals they hyper filter the water and eventually with enough of them there will be no micro ecosystem to support the larger body of the ecosystem eventually starving out all life in the area.
That's pretty cool. As far as stripers go, I see mostly Hybrids, several largemouth bass, carp, sun fish. The hybrid has the broken lines and stripers are normally a little longer.
Just went to a creek near my house the other day. Fished a huge drain pipe thought I had a huge catfish but a nice Penn reel came up. Being that it was in Freshwater all I had to do was soak it in soap. Got it oil and lubed and used it already.
Looked like that fishing reel was in pretty good shape. That's what stuck out to me about this whole video! That, and all the Flathead Catfish, or as we call them in Louisiana, "mudcats".
I watch a lot of fishing and underwater videos, and I randomly found this one. I was just in Pike County last month, and filmed some awesome aerial video of the area. Lived there when I was young. So I was shocked when you said Fishtrap. I will share your channel on my relatives' pages who still live there. Fantastic video!
Ive been down that road before. I lost an Abu Garcia Revo Toro NACL and a Phenix inshore rod in the Sacramento River. I was trolling for striper in my kayak and one ripped that rod right out of its rod tube. Someone caught a really nice rod n reel after that I'm sure.
Wow! Stacked with a crazy variety of fish. Water has decent visibility for warm water fish . I been wanting to do this over in our bay on oregon Coast. These camera rigs are fun.
Fish after seeing the weird object- “I’m telling ya man we are not alone. My son Striper Sr. the 455th was abducted and he says they did things too him. Stuck things in his mouth and even kissed him.”
That sure looks like a fun place to fish the bluegill were massive and some of those large mouth were big too but the catfish weren't , but this video has got to be my favorite video I've seen in a long time I hope there's more videos to come
Was gonna say, I didn't see any "MASSIVE" catfish in this video lol Hell, I've caught a 3' and then a 4' channel cat, and those aren't even the biggest in the lake (Shafer, part of Tippecanoe) if you believe what the guys who dive down by the dam say - they've seen 6' cats, and I believe it; I've seen a 5' carp pulled out of that lake.
@@Lray4x4 That's what I found out years later, but it's not like I had a camera on me anyways - this was before smart phones. Took me five minutes to fight, rolling like an alligator - it kept trying to go under the dock, and I knew it'd snag up and I'd lose it if it did, so I had to keep pulling it back out when it lunged that way. Even tore my net around the rim in a few places. Caught him on a wide gap hook with two blood scented dough balls and a nightcrawler about two feet under a bobber. It's still the biggest fish I've ever caught, even if the two big steel heads were longer; I'd love to catch a big pike or a muskie.
Do you keep the gopro connected remotely to your phone or simply lower it on record into the water? I've been trying to use the cable method to tether it for underwater wifi without success
Wow, very cool!! I love seeing underwater footage! If only I had a micro camera built into my bait that was live-streaming the location of the fish... 🤔🙂🎣
That drum was swimming around down there like "oh no...dont mind me...I'm just here to eat yalls poops" in the voice of Bruce from family guy. Otherwise it's not as funny.
Justin Prater you’re very welcome. I was glad to see this video. I recently moved to the Midwest and have a pond in my backyard. I’ve tired to use a remote control boat with a Go Pro attached to see what’s underneath and it was a failure, too dark of water at the time. I thought about doing this same thing you did here, it’s just my pond is very shallow, so hopefully I can figure something out as well. Finish your weekend strong and stay safe.
You know you have a dirty mind when the first time you read the title, you think it’s a catfish, and a stripper in a spillway. I mean...I’m sure there’s one around there somewhere!?
That's crazy how for the most part the fish ignored the food he dropped. Especially when it looked like there wasn't much else down there to eat. Maybe they were thinking about all the other fish that ate similar foods. Spontaneous struggle and disappearance 🤔
Holy shit bro that’s the best underwater video I’ve ever seen. I live in southern Illinois rite between Ohio and the Mississippi rivers locks and dams everywhere. I would love to see what it looks like. I can’t believe how big those bluegills are. Great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve always thought night crawlers were overrated for many game fish, and this sort of proves it. It appears, the only fish really interested where bluegill
Thank you for not adding music to this video. Very nice. Thank you!
I agree. I hate that, especially when it's ghetto music or that royalty free stuff. Ruins every last video.
@@benjaminrapp7418 you fucking racist
@@sergioblanco6321 how is he being racist ?
I totally agree!!!! The peaceful sound of the water is Awesome!!!!!!!
Everyone makes mistake..

Is that what the was?
"GoPro finds massive catfish and stripper in spillway." I completely read the title wrong when I first saw it. LOL
Lol same!
Well. They have had a job loss recently 🙄😅
Lots of "stripping catfish" these days. Becoming an invassive species today for sure
JUST IMAGINE ALL THOSE FISH UNDER THERE AND YOU'VE BEEN THERE ALL DAY WITHOUT A BITE
That's what I'm thinking right now 😡😡
Not if your a master-baiter
@@BobkatTheBugMan my friend Jack Meoff claims to be🤔
Sounds like me fishing the other day lol
HEMIGANG_345 iamscorpio_345 real talk 🤦🏽♂️
More fish in that spillway than the tank at Bass Pro Shops.
Man forget the bass and catfish those are some giant blue gill 😂
Hell yea
I posted the same lol. Taste amazing, and give a good fight on the micro light.
Thank you for explaining lol stupid me thought those were someone’s pet Oscars they dumped in lol
I was just thinking the same thing
absolute whales 🐋
I didn't think there would be that many fish. Like an aquarium.
Nice video!

Who else wants to hammer those bass
not me I want them gills
Mike Vandyke do u eat them
I'll hit them bass
@@chaiselabrie6497 yes
I slapa da bass
Justin did you have a waterproof case on the go Pro camera I didn’t really get to see it?
This is amazing! Fishing is my favorite hobby, but I love seeing this even more!!!
Yes I agree, it's also much less stressful on the fish!
You would think dropping all that chum would start a feeding frenzy but most of them couldn’t care less.
They see probably hundreds of worms and other baits a week.
That place is so pressured none of them will strike at anything you throw at them.
Very well fed
You wouldnt even notice that monsters lie beneath. They are so used to it that they have adapted and became smarter. Locals probably only know the magic to catch them
@@justme5009 yep, dynamite
I can't believe how many fish there were.
I thought the exact same thing! And also, some of those Bluegill looked massive!
But good size too
Yeah this looks like a hell of a spot.
Go Midwest Fishing nice bait caster one the bottom too. Weird.
My dad love eating bream and bluegill. It was like he had a deboner in his mouth. In less than a minute he had a stack of bones. I use to tell him i think you eat em....lol 😆
Slice of paradise right there!!! Reminds me of 2 songs: elvis "kentucky rain" and john denver "country roads"
Even the bluegill are slabs
Whats a slab? Lol..
PLAIDSHORTS1 fat fish
We’ve got some beefcake catfish by my house
I was thinking the same thing! Some of the best bluegills I have ever seen lol.
BNO definitely Make sure you subscribe to my channel give aways after 500 subscribers

Bluegill, crappie, whitebass, flathead catfish, channel catfish, common carp, striper, largemouth bass, Buffalo, what else did I see
Them gillies would have eaten the gopro if they could have huh? lol
Zebra mussels
A fishing reel at 4:15
Some of the bluegill may have actually been shellcracker I think
I think I saw a couple gizzard shad in there too

@@megadthes8427 wow that's crazy
Yup and there's at least a dozen in that spot.
This is one of the best videos on UA-cam. That would be sick if you did it at a regular holes on the river.
Every fish was alert and fat, water looks so pristine and fertile.
*goes to popular fishing spot
*catches nothing after hours of fishing
*"There's no fish here!"*
And thats why i always love fishing the spillways
That's pretty cool. As far as stripers go, I see mostly Hybrids, several largemouth bass, carp, sun fish. The hybrid has the broken lines and stripers are normally a little longer.
I thought it was white bass at first but the broken stripes do look hybrid to me.
Awesome.
Not carp, buffalo. There's no barbles.
@@ut000bs I was thinking white bass
@@ut000bs Yeah. They’re definitely hybrids.
Whats strange is here in NY..we have no strippers...yet we have hybrids
That gave a interesting perspective of what it actually looks like down there.
So no one gonna talk about the poor baitcaster down there? 4:19
I would've put on my mask and went for it
Drop a magnet down there hope something on it is attracted.
Exactly
Peric moment

Right.?
We call them shovel head here in ohio
they are called gujons in S la, I used to live in Iberia Parish.
Lots of fish stuck living their entire lives in a spillway damn lol
@SelfMade Boss rip that mans chat hahaha get told and it is true that it flows into the river

This is better than a fishing video.
I love these videos they all looked like keepers to me even the bluegill looked pretty nice sized
Damn, so many nice healthy fish. What a great spot!
3:56 well hello there 😂😂
I like the little bluegill at 3:58 he's like oh my gosh this is my one moment of Fame 😁
Them blue Gill were slabs I'd be after them
I ate bluegill for the first time last year they were really good.
Dustin Williams definitely
Brooooo omg right!
Same
Bluegill or for kids to catch bro.. I want to catch something that's gona put up a fight and will be fun to catch not no baby ass bluegill lol
This is pretty serene. I've never considered being a fish. This is awesome.
Well having no understanding about fishing and being dyslexic, I am disappointed I got pulled in by the stripper. GG
Looks like a lotta hybrid species. Bluegill/Sunfish. Striped bass/Largemouth
Dude you are a Genius! I never thought of using my GoPro like that!!! Props
That bluegill checking out the gopro...ha ha...great vid.
4:18 rip to a good looking reel
John Leon I know right :(
That's just sad
I'd be trying to get that with a sinker 😂
That's the reel he threw in there after losing another one of them Hog Largemouths! LOL
Ive been down that road before. I lost an Abu Garcia Revo Toro NACL and a Phenix inshore rod in the Sacramento River. I was trolling for striper in my kayak and one ripped that rod right out of its rod tube. Someone caught a really nice rod n reel after that I'm sure.
I found this video oddly satisfying to watch, thanks for uploading it!
Did you have the go pro app on your phone so that you could see where you were going looking at?
Wow! Stacked with a crazy variety of fish. Water has decent visibility for warm water fish . I been wanting to do this over in our bay on oregon Coast. These camera rigs are fun.
Those largemouth are huge
Everything in that spillway looked healthy and nice video man!
Thsts awesome to see how they huddle up all together, nice footage
That flathead catfish was just laying on it's side in FML mode hahaha...
I thought it was dead at first haha
Fish after seeing the weird object- “I’m telling ya man we are not alone. My son Striper Sr. the 455th was abducted and he says they did things too him. Stuck things in his mouth and even kissed him.”
You know it's bed time when you're reading it as a catfish and a stripper :(
That's wicked awesome bro! Very cool to see those fish in their own environment, acting naturally! Nice job.
This gives you a perfect insight of things under water
Where’s the “massive” catfish??? I feel like I fell for one one of those nightcrawers!
:47

Those were some big bass down there like 7s
Az bass Angler definitely seven pounders
With those guts, looks like they were munching the big bluegill
Ben Green Insurance Agency plenty of bluegill there, fat ones as well!!
Az bass Angler maybe but the water makes them look larger on the camera
Az bass Angler full of carp. You guys don’t do carp hey ?
Do you keep the gopro connected remotely to your phone or simply lower it on record into the water? I've been trying to use the cable method to tether it for underwater wifi without success

Love the video. How are you able to control the camera so precisely while its hanging on fishing line?

Dude I never in a million years would have thought there were that many fish under the water over there
Well thanks to UA-cam I can finally scratch off another bucket list adventure
Someone lost a fishing reel.
What a variety of fish
That was cool. Awesome to see so many different species
Your video is exactly what the title says . I think everyone will agree , this was not click bait . Great job.
That Blue Gill squared up on the camera and was like what bich lol.
Friend: How'd you do over at the spillway yesterday?
Me: Man, that spots a waste of time, there's no damn fish over there.
Those stripers looked super athletic in that current
So how are you getting the go pro to move and turn ? Seems like you got it pretty much figured out .
Amazing footage. That place is loaded with fish and very little trash. The reel looked recently lost.

Dale Skelton makes perfect sense, plenty of those in the pond. Thank you.
re you showing the videos after imported to pc, or does bluetooth work like that underwater?
you could have a good day of fishing with a bucket of shiners!
The 672 dislikes are from people complaining about you not having the fishes permission to film them.
Orrrrr, maaaybeeee, not having the government's permission to film fish?
I was like damn they found a striper down there?!? 😱
Pretty sure that's a sand bass, not a striper or hybrid.
Dang that was kool...did yall see the reel on the ground?
You gotta scoop out that reel
Great video! I like seeing the fish in their environment!

best camera shots I seen so far
