I was fishing top water one time at the aquaduct stumbled across somebodys lines in the concrete slab cracks. Pulled up a 25 to 30 lbs catfish. Log rolled him back down the canal bank. Gigantic fish.
Yup, whenever I land a striper I get it to the side of the wall and just backpedal instead of yanking it. The thing that sucks with catfish is sometimes their sharp ass pectoral fins get caught on the cement lol
I hook my net up to an old extendable swimming pool service pole. Can extend up to 18’. I’ve lost a few good ones too. That was a nice fish man, cool videos, subscribed 🤙🏼
After the third one slipped away I was rooting for the fish. High comedy, but I respect your dedication and love for fishing. 😂 Maybe the Delta or some of the canals are a better fit.
That ladder will hold probably hold you. I have some advice for fishing there. I’m disabled when I fish there I have to use a rope. Tie up to my vehicle or any secure metal pole that’s already there .and also my waist. I can’t swim lol. If you not comfortable with that. Other option long gaff, Or long rope and a crab net so you can pull it up from the bridge
definitely gotta spend the $$$ and get some good quality line, pline or sunline fluro my go to. also make sure your knots are tied correct, if it doesn't look good when you seat it retie it. and like other people say walk it back.
@bigdade4209 I do buy a new pack of anchovies every time but only in case I run out of the older anchovies. To be honest, that's one of my secrets. I throw whatever is left in the freezer for the next trip. The older anchovies will develop a stink, and that is what attracts the fish...the only problem is, once they thawed out, they get mushy very quickly
You should have gone down the latter. It would have held you up for sure. I've landed tons of fish doing so. If your net is short, you'd have to unless you take your chances scaling aqueduct wall. Crab net would do the job too.
Over all I likened you video,, yea put out some more I watch n comment just joking with you you good fisherman bro, peace n love some Jesus ok,,,besafe love you bro,,peace
We use our ocean fishing rods for the catfish in the canals of imperial valley. 40-60lb line . Be careful fishing alone. The video does no justice how steep the walls to can be. Not to mention all the slippery sand and gravel around.
You have a perfect hook set but wats the use if you can't land that son of a biscuit eater, ,n I'm sorry to say biscuit cause it got you hungry,,,running tonthat corner every time was at least a good workout,,,now RUN TO JESUS
Big mistake trying to bring up your big fish by hand. You should've taken your time to fight the fish to wear it out, and then thumb your line and bring it up with your rod inch by inch if necessary.
Put that other pole in the pinche truck before you break it ,,nombre way don't let the fishing world down ,,by being a sloppy fisherman, come on guerrmo
You are awesome... I'd have thrown my fishing rods into the water... drove home, got my net.. back to the aqueduct... and thrown that in too!😊
So You're funny from all the videos I've ever seen, this is the best man. I can't believe this
Your video remind me of fun memories when I was younger fishing the duct. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
You're welcome...thanks for watching
Hi; brother ; can't fish with out the net on aqueduct, I have 10f pole on my net always , good show I'm so sorry your lost .👍👍.
Bro. Always bring a net. Let me know when you get out again. I would love to hang out and fish with you.
Mental breakdown just got you a new subscriber

One of those days, braddah. You'll get 'em next time.
Oh dang. You *is* indeed a very *biggie* boy. We are all glad that you did not go down the ladder on the first fish.
BTW, always keep the *net* in the truck.
You are a *_wise_* and *_law abiding_* human being indeed. *Subscribed~~~*
He might be able to go down but not up 😂 he will look like the fish flopping everywhere
3 strikes and your out bro🤣 but looks like you had some more at bats👍🏽
Yup, whenever I land a striper I get it to the side of the wall and just backpedal instead of yanking it. The thing that sucks with catfish is sometimes their sharp ass pectoral fins get caught on the cement lol
nice catch!! i like using braid for this kind of situations when no net , keep slaying!
Thanks
This is one of my favorite Videos.

After the third one slipped away I was rooting for the fish. High comedy, but I respect your dedication and love for fishing. 😂 Maybe the Delta or some of the canals are a better fit.
If it makes you feel any better, by the third hookup I had completely lost faith in you 😝
Looked like fun, good times 😎👍
We've all had days like that. You didn't give up.

Good fishing there bro. Try using a fish gripper. Its more handy and easy to carry as an solo fishermen myself. Btw be careful out there bro.
Thanks....will do
What time of day do you usually like to fish? In the morning or afternoon?
I like the afternoon...more opportunities for a biting window in my opinion
Nice one. Have you tried Bethany Reservoir?
No i havent...Bethany reservoir is quite far from where I'm from so I've never been therr before
@@ReelCheapFishing 1.5 hrs from me. I always to try but too far. Thanks for replying.
Thank you
When you go to the aqueduct always take an extended reach net!
Bro easy on your breathing sounds like your going to pass out.😮 Might need an inhaler. Great fishing tho.
🤣🤣🤣
Leave us smokers alone
Dang bro, I would have been your net man if I knew where you were.

definitely gotta spend the $$$ and get some good quality line, pline or sunline fluro my go to. also make sure your knots are tied correct, if it doesn't look good when you seat it retie it. and like other people say walk it back.
Will definitely keep that in mind
Ande fishing line very Abrasive proof

Are you fishing in the all American canal?
No, this is the california aqueduct

Anchovies
What was the bait?
Anchovies
@@ReelCheapFishing nice, thank you.
Do you buy a new pack of anchovies every time? Or just throw them back in the freezer for next time?

Why fish an area like that with no net smh
1 fish a day, keeps the doctor away 😅😅
Wow...slowly walk back instead of raising yanking your rod up trying to bring up the fish next time.
Damn....
should have brought a pier net.
Yeah I have one but I forgot to bring it on this day lol
You know you're not supposed to fish without your net😮😮😮
Ik the feeling on loosing a big fish man the was a big cat
Damn bro we need to work together u need to work on your health we all should be able to go up and down that latter
that hella sucks brotha.. ive fished there couple times and never caught anything..
I think I just got lucky that I encountered a school of stripers on this day
Yeah could be.. all you used was anchovies? I have the worst luck with them haha … I usually catch them with night crawlers
Dude you sound like you’re gonna have a heart attack.
You crossed the fence🤦🏻♂️ yep if game warden pulls up its GAME OVER
What happens if you get caught?
What are you talking about you can cross the fence, you think you can only fish over a bridge?
Fence only stops vehicles from driving
You sure u okay you breathe so hard
I'm a big guy lol
Bro!!!!!!!!!!!
Time for some Braided line
Maybe...I just hate it when you get snagged with braided line lol
Braided line gets cut easier than mono or fluro.
Emotional Damage
What in the name of poseidon did I just watch?
My fishing fails lol
We can tell you a big guy just by the way your breathing
Why are you breathing so hard it's not like you ran a mile lol 😅
You pulled to hard should have worn the fish out more thake your time more I know have lost a few stripers that same way...
You have a perfect hook set but wats the use if you can't land that son of a biscuit eater, ,n I'm sorry to say biscuit cause it got you hungry,,,running tonthat corner every time was at least a good workout,,,now RUN TO JESUS

@@daddydankykong I had one but forgot to bring it lol
Good content tho. Thx for showing what not to do video for the people lol jk haha@ReelCheapFishing

Big mistake trying to bring up your big fish by hand. You should've taken your time to fight the fish to wear it out, and then thumb your line and bring it up with your rod inch by inch if necessary.
Yeah I wasn't thinking properly that at the moment lol
Preparation bro should have a drop net ,invest in your channel,,,go buy a 70.00 drop net, come on soldier. Prepare. ,now RUN TO JESUS
Hey Ben, n I mean bendejo, ho home n get you net n come back nombre way,,,,now RUN TO JESUS
Too cheap 😂 learm from yoir mistake
Put that other pole in the pinche truck before you break it ,,nombre way don't let the fishing world down ,,by being a sloppy fisherman, come on guerrmo
Use braid. 20 pound braid will not break like mono.
Let me know when you decide to go out there next time I’m down shoot me a text
U a sorry fisherman,,,,😂
I thought keepers are 22"
