@@PalmettoCats I too watched catfish Dave’s video just yesterday, but it didn’t dawn on me until watching Justin’s livestream tonight that it was your channel. The Lord does truly work in mysterious ways so that’s one more view for your video and another subscriber for your channel. God bless you Kevin.✝️💙
In light of recent events i just wanted to let you know that you’ve honestly earned every single view on this particular video. Keep up the great work Kevin.👍🏻
What line an lb. Strengths do you use. I have several light salt water spinning reals that haven't been used in about 15 years an my grandson wants to cat fish so I need to ditch the old mono line an use a good quality braid. Any suggestions 🤔
I got gored by a catfish when I was small. Let me tell you,it's a very unique feeling its between a lawn mower spark plug zap and a Bee sting,not to pretty.
I have to go back and watch this one again. One of the great things about being old is you can wait a few months to go back and watch something again and they're like brand new.
Canuckster .. and I remember the eel damage on some of the bigger lake trout & browns as well eh? Am unfortunately in N IL now and I don't fish this end of Lake Michigan [who wants to fish looking at Chicago? lol], retired with wife and looking for property back up in the U.P. where I was born and raised. A man can dream even at my age ..
I was gonna ask a stupid question like what would you do if you hooked up on like five poles at once but I just pictured myself there and I already know like lots of frantic thrashing mumbling and probably swearing as I would no doubt fall down or off the boat during this but that's just me!
Hey bud, new subscriber - great videos! Im brand new to fishing, can you answer two basic questions for me? I notice you use a spinning reel sometimes and more recently bait cast reels - any significant difference on when to use those or juts personal preference? Also, I notice your usual go-to rig has some type of neon floaty looking object on the line. Can you tell me what type of rig that is and what that object is? do you just have it sitting on top of a swivel and then leader line with your circle hook? thanks
Welcome Jim. Personal preference really. I think the round reels give me more control on my casts, a little more finesse. That’s a Santee Cooper rig. It’s a 3” peg float with a versa rattle. It spins in current and rattles. On top of the swivel is a sinker slide, clips to your sinker and slides up and down your main line. Hope that helps.
@@PalmettoCats Awesome. Also if you have time - If im sticking to smaller lakes for now with less current - can I still use a peg float and versa rattle or are they less necessary/effective than just a base rig? And is it ok if I use just a standard inline lead over a sinker slide for the same reason? Really appreciate you Kevin
Kevin, What a wonderful happy fellow you are, I am a first timer and will subscribe. Of what I have learnt of the Lamprey I am fairly sure like the other gents those are Lamprey wounds. Love the set up of your boat, it would suit everyone. Keep up the good work, best wishes from an Aussie.
I've lost so many fish because I'd have to many rods going. I'd be running back and forth, setting hook on one rod then other rod would go down, or one fish would get me rapped up in other rods. Now I only use 2 maximum. If fish are slow it's a good idea though. Nice video.
Found the same to be true on Lake Meade in Las Vegas, that was back in the mid 70s to mid 80s, it's just about all dried up now, sadly. Used to catch some of the nicest Channel Cats out of that lake.
great day man a day on the water is a gift from GOD it renews the soul nice fish love the camera work to need to teach me some of those tricks great video tight lines and BIG TAKEDOWNS
When I was a kid, I use to sit on the bank of one of our local creeks and catch large mud cats using earthworms and a cane pole. My grandfather taught me how to fish like this, he grew up in Texas. In the early 1900's it was more about survival than fun. How times have changed.
Another Awsome video! Be nice if someone would make a camera that looked like a baitfish for holes like that.You started out fishing like me……. Sit for hours and not a bite. Lol
Not sure why, but most fishing videos have reels with the clicker still switched on. I never leave my clicker on when I'm in process of winding on as it's just another distraction I don't need
Much respect for catch & release, my friend. Thank you. BTW, The red marks you encountered on the fish are from Lamprey Eels, enough of them get attached they can drain all the blood from the fish.
In this one I had many rods and reels. Uncle Lou rod in the thumbnail, Catch the Fever rods, hellcat rod. Piscifun 6000 and Abu Garcia Catfish special.
@@ivanleterror9158 , Snakeheads will kill and eat, they don't care what it is, they're very territorial too. We have them up here in Michigan and they are edible. The DNR says once caught do not release.
Kev.....man I had to come by and let you know that this other UA-camr that is well known has given you a little praise. BTW, it's self explanatory lol.
@@PalmettoCats Well I mean for someone to be looking at a "small youtuber" and wanting what you have, call it praise or flattery lol. I mean youtube has plenty money to spread, just enjoy each other's success.

Lamp ray makes those sores. Great video Kevin. Thanks brother
Awesome thanks
Yes thank you for this video and no profanity me and my son enjoyed it
Glad you enjoyed it. You won't ever have to worry about profanity on my channel.
70 foot hole! Wow! I'm lucky to find a 7 foot hole where I fish on the Little Pee Dee. Great video!
Yeah, it's the only one on the river.
Mind checking me and my dads channel out
Catfish Dave sent me to find this video! Good job! Hope you continue to grow.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video. I would love to come to the States and fish your beautiful waters. Keep up the good work, fellas. From 🇬🇧🇺🇸
Thank you so much Kemper
I noticed the way you use your rod holders off to the side for lower setting that is pretty slick
Yeah man, I call it 3rd gear! Hahah
Awesome video PALMETTO, u the man! Keep them coming! Blessings good sir!
Mind checking me and my dads channel out
I appreciate it
I'll sure try when I get a chance my friend.
@@PalmettoCats how do you like that mad katz pole?
@@pedrocruz4710 I haven't caught anything on it yet. I'll let you know when I catch a few.
Great video, bro! We'll have to link up when you're in East TN.
Thanks man.
Great video Kevin. And the monster cat tournament was excellent. Just wish Justin from Kayak Catfishing was in it. You two together are crazy.
I’ve asked him to do one of my tournaments but it’s just not his things.
What line an lb. Strengths do you use. I have several light salt water spinning reals that haven't been used in about 15 years an my grandson wants to cat fish so I need to ditch the old mono line an use a good quality braid. Any suggestions 🤔
I use 25-30lb monofilament. In this video, I was using mostly Ande Monster Line. There is a link to it in the descriptions of most my videos.

Thanks for watching
I really enjoy these videos where you test different ideas or methods.
Thank you Georgia
Catfish Dave not happy 😒 lol 😆 cool vid buddy 👍
Thanks Benji
@@PalmettoCats 😊🤜🤛
How many lines do you have in the water at the same time?
Depends, in this video I had up to 8. We’re not limited from the boat in SC
Awesome video Kevin. Those look like lamprey sores on that fish.
They do don’t they?!
Gotta love those suspended rods. My favorite,Nice video
Right on, just getting into it.
That's pretty cool that you are able to use that many rods, in the state of Ohio we can only use 2 rods per angler.
I agree.
Same here in Michigan.
👍
I'm Minnesota we can only use 1 😞
@@BobbyTucker Umm. We can have 3 rods in MI bud. Another reason we suck less then Ohio. Go Blue! 😏
The sores look like lamprey eels wounds, we see them on the salmon here in the great lakes.
Yeah, that’s what people have been telling me

A man can dream even at my age ..
Dream away my friend
Here in Colorado you have to pay for an extra rod stamp to fish two rods and that's the limit!
In SC we can fish as many as we want from the boat.
I was gonna ask a stupid question like what would you do if you hooked up on like five poles at once but I just pictured myself there and I already know like lots of frantic thrashing mumbling and probably swearing as I would no doubt fall down or off the boat during this but that's just me!
Lol. I actually have a video where that sort of happened, without the cussing. ua-cam.com/video/FifMYb3fN1I/v-deo.html
Nice fish thanks for sharing this video with us 👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching
New hooksetter here. I enjoyed the cornucopia of bates. Great video.
I'm looking for rod holders for my pontoon. What brand are those? The last ones I bought were absolutely junk. Great video!
Monster rod holders the best on the market
Oye donde puedo conprar una caña
Hei! Can you help me to find and buy a Hellcat Rod mediul!?! were did you find it
They are out of stock but the website is www.catchthefever.com
Nice video. Are there anything like lampreys in there? That might be leaving those marks.
I'm not sure. But they sure look like it.
Great video bud! Enjoyed watching!

Yes, an in line lead is perfectly ok. The rig is designed to suspend you bait off the bottom. The versa rattle isn’t necessary.

Great video Kevin did you Mark fish in that hole are just decided to just drop lines down to see what would happen
I marked one coming into the whole.
REALLY KEVIN.... 3RD watching it.. Can't wait for you to come back same place in the winter and catch some bigger hogs....
I hope so too!
How did you set your pontoon in place when fishing this deep. Did you anchor?

I think a lot of people still fish like that, but yes, with the times comes advancements. Sometimes I think we're too advanced for our own good hahah.
AWESOME VIDEO as ALWAYS 🤙🤙🤙 what make/brand of boat was that you fished in with kayak catfish??? AWESOME little boat🛥⛴🛳
It was a scout, but I’m not sure of the model.
KOOL BEANS THANKS ✌✌✌
Just emailed for a brochure 🛥⛴🛳
The marks on those catfish are from eels bites
Thanks!
Great video Kevin keep up the great content
Thanks Chad

Do you always use a pontoon or sometimes a bass boat?
Always. I don’t have a bass boat
Catfish Dave brought me here.

Oregon has a 2 rod limit for a single setup.
That stinks
Not sure why, but most fishing videos have reels with the clicker still switched on.
I never leave my clicker on when I'm in process of winding on as it's just another distraction I don't need
Yeah, I was using it in case I fell asleep. I just forgot to turn it off on the first fish.
