On this video I'm with my step Dad Garret and we are running "cans" for catfish. This is an old method used by locals where I'm from. Although this method can be done using just about anything, the term comes from the tactics origins, using metal paint cans. I hope y'all enjoy!
I'm 52 years old from East Alabama and was raised catfishing my whole life with my dad on the Chattahoochee River and surrounding lakes & Occasionally the Tallapoosa river & we always used trot lines. And my dad always had a commercial license and I have never even seen or heard of this. This is a cool and innovative way to fish.
Same here, Alabama born and raised 45 years ago. My dad taught me to fish, run a trot line, noodle and jug fish. Never seen this method before.
Same here I'm from Southeast Alabama the Chattahoochee is only 8 mi from my house lived here 62 yrs never seen this method I've done a bunch other different things but you can bet I'll try this out on the lakes both Eufaula & Seminole lol 😆
Beulah raised here. Never bucket fished before. Can't wait to hit it hard this year.
The best part of this method is that you don't have to go out to check your buckets if you don't want to, and it don't matter either way 'cause they can get away if they want to.
Alabama myself. We fish Guntersville Lake and river side. I have never seen this .
I have fish and hunted with my dad ever since I was 6 years old and I'm 59 years old now. Never seen anyone fish with buckets. Thank you. Always love learning something new.
Never to old to learn !! Hard times a coming. Thank you for teaching new ways to feed the folks.
No problem!
definitely a passive food gathering skill . i will remember it . but i live by rivers so it's different than a lake . still may work in some areas , i'll have to try it and see .
edit: plus , the materials will be available loooong afte they stop making anything plastic . and a canoe or kayak would work just as well .
Thank you. Where I live hard times here and more a coming.
@@fallingtidetv what do you call this type of fishing?...is it trapping?...and the other question is, how many time's has other people come and jacked your fish from your bucket's?...is that considered fish jumping 😅🤣😂 like claim jumping?
That’s awesome. I just happened to come across this video. Thanks for sharing.
My father and his buddies way back in the 1930's , 40's and 50's used 55 gallon drums. They knocked holes in them with railroad spikes and put them in the streams flowing out of the near by lakes.
In the morning they stand the drums up and let the water run out the holes.
Dad said that they would get 200 to three hundred catfish in one barrel.
Man I’m was born and raised here in Louisiana and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this, that’s awesome.. I make and fish hoop nets , wire nets,trot lines and all of that but never seen a can line until. This was pretty 👍🏼
Never seen it done before
Me, too.
I'm 80 years old, my daddy Ann I used to go catfishing, of the lake bank,and run trot lines at night and caught lots of channel cats, but never this way. FASCINATING! LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!!😂❤🎉
I've heard of cans but I never knew what they were talking about. That's crazy! All the grocery stores could go away tomorrow and we coonasses will survive. Great video bro.
That’s right brother!
They put 50 gallon drums at the bottom of the Mississippi and pull out monsters as big as a man.
Not many Yankees know why you call yourselves “coonasses but I do 😂
@@fallingtidetv what town are you from? I heard one of you say but wasn't sure what you called it
Aint no stoppin a country boy.
I live in Rowan County North Carolina. We were raised up to hunt and fish without using any bait. I use jugs like yall do. And I also use car tires. Thanks for sharing your video. An always be safe and keep on making them sweet memories that will last yall a lifetime. God bless yall..
I've seen it done with different items but never like that. This was an amazing video and thanks for showing the world our culture. Please make more videos with your step dad because he's awesome!
Will do!
He made a fine stepdad
Will this work with all cats??
Would be interested to see the next step thru unloading, the sale, how much they make, where they sell and way to prepare by good cooks; All would be super series!
Yeah it would!!! I'd love to learn how to do it all!!!
I'm 66 and fish the Mississippi River all my life in west central Illinois. Never seen or heard of it before. Was neat to watch and learn different ways of catching the good ol cat fish. Great video Thanks for sharing!!
Haven’t Heard of it, Is Probably Because of The Laws, Being Different ??
Its illegal to catch fish like this in Mississippi as you are considered grabbling and raising the laying structure above the water line to trap the fish.......
Save some future .....cleaning house is less for you neighbors in the future ?
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE ! Have lived in The South on the water and been fishing for 55+ yrs and have NEVER heard of this method of catfishing before ... Pure Genius. Thanks for enlightening me and keep the videos coming.
I do not understand the people in the world who reject the family interaction. Learning from the older family is priceless. A good way to spend the day.
My grand daddy used to bucket fish up here on our private family lake, we catch some fine fish these days thanks to him providing incubation homes for these cats. I just had never heard of it happening anywhere else in the country...my father told us boys that his father's great grand daddy passed it down since mid 1700's.
I failed to mention we are from mid state Maine
Those fish are ideal size for eating. I used to go down and fish on the backwater of the Pearl River in southern Mississippi. We would fill two coolers with fish ready to cook in two days. We would bring it home in Illinois and have a giant fish fry in a small town. We would have the yard full of neighbors for Catfish dinner. They brought the fixings to go along with the fish.
As a kid I used to love to find beer cans on the lake bottom because they would always have a small catfish inside them. As an adult we caught them in tires. Sew the insides to make a donut and cut 3-4 inch hole on the outer tread side. Sometimes have three or four catfish in a tire
Found a paint can one time with two fish in it but didn’t realize people fished like that. Amazing
How you get the fish out? Sounds like a great idea
I have never in my life heard of that! Wow! Funny thing is, I’ve been saving every jug and bucket I could get my hands on, for a gardening project! I’ll be diverting some of those jugs to fishing now.
Dude !!! How Lucky can you be !!! I was raised with no father, no step father, no mother, no parents, no relatives.... born in Fort Worth , Tx. , come from an orphanage........ Garrett is Awesome !!! Look at God Blessing You !!! I dream of having relatives !!! And Strong Men in My Life !!! Your Mother Is Extremely Blessed to have you Both !!! Rock On Garrett !!! Wish I could have a step dad that could be just a little like You !!! Enjoyed this Video!!! Wish I knew people like ya"ll !!!! Peace Out !!!
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 I don’t take it for granted.
Just befriend 2 any family n when they like u then they become ur family. There is Jesus n every person. JESUS LOVES US OL!
That is awesome! Helping the environment by providing a place for them to spawn for the next generation and keeping the fish. Nice!
I've never seen this before, but I will try it. My dad told me when he was young, he would catch catfish by what he called hogging. Wading the edge of the banks, feeling up under in holes, and catching huge catfish up to 4 feet long. Not me. I guess I'm a little chicken. That was in around Muskogee, Oklahoma. I live in South Carolina now, and I will try the buckets. I enjoyed the video.
I used to live just N. of Tulsa.
I'm now in Northeastern Fl. and if law permits it I will darn sure try this method here.
Man what I wouldn't give to have that lifestyle! True southern gentleman, stuck in Washington State! You got yourself another subscriber, Hoss!
Man this one made me smile the whole time. I just might have to try this one day. The big lake looked flat and calm; I wish I would have ran out that way. Me and the wife and kids launched in BG Mother’s Day just to take a short ride.
It reminds me of how there are still a few eel fishermen in Japan using an old traditional method. They use segments of big bamboo with the joint holding one end closed to trap eels. Basically, they are providing the eels places to hide from predators.
I would rather fish in the lake or a river than in a stocked pond! And I’ve never seen it done this way! Amazing and fun looking!
The catfish in my pond are really going to appreciate that I saw this video. I've been wondering how I could help them breed. Thanks
I’ve caught catfish almost every way I thought possible……but I have never saw that technique! That’s awesome! This video definitely earned you a sub from me
Hell yeah brother I appreciate that!🙏🏻
@@fallingtidetv your stepdad had that system on point! Y’all earned the sub. The old ways are usually the best ways
Same
Thank you for making and posting this video. I'm 54 an never seen fishing like this. I've fished my whole life, thinking we need bait to catch fish but now I learned we don't. You provide a place for the catfish to lay eggs and then you take the fish from the cans an let eggs hatch out an making more fish to replace the ones you take. This is in my opinion the absolute Best way to fish. Like dad said, if for any reason he is not able to run his lines the fish inside can leave after depositing the eggs and the babies hatch out an swim away ready for next two fish to get inside the cans. You provide a safe place for them to lay their eggs to keep other fish away from eating the babies also. It is a win win in cat fishing and I truly thank you for showing us all a better way of doing it. We don't hurt nor kill fish if we are not able to check our lines, that's awesome. Best video I seen this year. I am sharing this with all my friends and family. Even to ones who don't fish. Because I know they know people who do and this is by far the absolute best way of doing it. Thank you again and God bless you and us all.
He has his technique down solid. Tell your dad thanks for sharing with us
I am almost 58 years old and live in Southeast Missouri, and I have never seen or even heard of bucket fishing. It is a very cool way to fish because you don't need any bait and you can find buckets everywhere. I just happened to run across this channel looking for fishing videos and saw this. First time viewer and had to subscribe!! Keep up the good work and have fun!
I'm from Missouri also wonder if this is legal here
Simple, effective, good for the environment, good for the fish, good for my table & good for my wallet. Why am I still typing? I got to go catch some fish y’all! Thanks for the video!
This man and his family will never go hungry! Very innovative way to catch fish. I enjoyed watching.
Very thankful for your time showing us how you good ole boys do it down south. Very informative skills. And very happy to see that you put the eggs back in to continue the circle of life.
Duupty duupty do....universal for "go likea dis".... Love it!
We used similar traps in the Sacramento river delta But we didnt use the string line. Just one at a time with a marker buoy. Great set up you have there 👍😊
I MUST try this! I am 67 YO, and I SCUBA Dived most of my life, and used an Arbalette, Pole Spear, and Pneumatic Guns to fish. Using a pole, the only thing I ever caught was a cold! LOL If this works, I shall give it a go! Thank you both for imparting this method! Much appreciated!!!!
I am from Oregon and never saw such a wonderful method to catch catfish and provide nesting areas which are in probable short supply.
I'm in my 40's, lived in 4 states, catfished my whole life. I've never heard of such and damn sure gonna try it!
Goodluck! I hope you do well using this method!
I've tried similar for targeting shrimp , out of minnow traps and 5 gallon buckets . Didn't work but I only did it for a few days .
I’m from Monroe and have spent most of my life on the water fishing for catfish. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life but you can bet that I’ll try it in the future.
Hey Lannybrantley, do you know my brother Norman. C? I'm his sister down in Nawlins He loves fishing & I don't know if he's done it dat way, but I have. His last name is cambre & so is mine. Yeah you better try it, it will up your catch!!
New subscriber here; never seen Can Fishing before, but my Dad and his brothers used old tires, sewn together at the bead, with a hole for entry... Same concept, but this is easier on an old fisherman! I moved away from Louisiana about 30 years ago, and I was glad to hear your accent...!
God bless ALL of us!
WWG1WGA
Thank you, God bless!
Over 30 years ago, above Ferriday on Lake St. John I've seen this method used. Actually the "jugs" we used were old freon containers with a 3" hole drilled in the sides and a few drain holes in the bottom. I'm not sure where this originated from but I was first introduced to this in 1990 or 91. Thanks for sharing.
In Mississippi here, I have heard of pipe, can, and net traps, but this is the first time I have seen someone make a trap with a plastic bucket.
Thank you
Never have i SEEN fishing with NO Bait. Noodlin' yeah, but that is ALL about just Eatin' Size - GREAT ! Thank YOU !!
I hope you can get out there and put it to the test! Thanks for watching!
Old guy in KY here and thought I tried all methods for catfishing but you proved me wrong. Great video and this old dog learned a new trick. Semper Fi
That’s awesome! I’m going to have to try this out on lake pontchartrain. Too many issues with traps and trot lines with it being brackish water but this might be exactly what I need to do.
I hope you have great luck with it!
That’s a great life! Man I wish you showed us how he prepares them to eat. I know how I do them, just would like to see how the man does it. Great video.
Thank You both
I’ve seen it set up like that in the water but his rig and how he does it his way is awesome love it man
Just to see that he's not harming them as he's preserving the catfish in the lake is impressive!
The male catfish are guarding the eggs. He is taking them away.
What do you think happens to the eggs..
Diminishing the new generations slowly
@@dennisvanloock5728 Some are eaten by the males when hatched, then eaten as juveniles. So what’s your point? Eggs aren’t in every bucket. He’s catching fish hookless. No harm here. Enjoy!
Next pair of catfish move into the bucket usually within the day, the next male will do as good a job protecting the eggs as the other
@@fallingtidetv Ow , this changes it all. I apologize for commenting earlier. I did so having only very little knowledge of the situation. Keep up the good work!
No worries, thanks for asking the question! I hope you enjoyed the video!🙏🏻
CAJUN INGENUITY never ceases to AMAZE!!!
Never ever in my life have I seen it done like this. Awesome job guys learn something new every day.🔥💪🏾💯🎣
That was the first time I have ever seen that. The ingenuity of the line and the process was completely awesome
My dad who is 85 did things like this with his dad and uncles when he was a kid. He and I tried it a couple times with some old pvc pipe on the river batture, but we never had any luck. I can’t wait to show him this video. My pawpaw and mawmaw had the crossroads restaurant in des allemans when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. I was going ask where you were. Then I heard you say des allemans toward the end. I’m sure you know a lot of my family from down that way. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Can’t wait to see more.
I’m from Ohio, 65 years old, and never even heard of this. I have heard that if you want cats in a pond you drop in 55 gallon drums for them to spawn. So, yeah, I see it.
AWESOME video and learning experience. Thank you.
Living in Michigan and Indiana all my life, never seen this genius sustainable method before. So great! Thanks for the ride along.
I have heard of it but never seen it. I have family in Louisiana and remember my Uncle telling me stories of catfishing with cans.
I have raised several strains of ornamental catfish and sold them. And the breed the same way. Always amazed me too!
I'm 54 yrs old born and raised in louisiana and have never seen this. Its awesome!!
Thanks
that's the coolest thing I ever seen you need to get your step daddy on there more often he's pretty cool
Man I appreciate that!
I have never seen this before, although we use buckets and boxes to noodle. I will try this method in the spring with my son. Happy fishing and God Bless.
Amazing, but I guess it only works when they are spawning. I've never fished much, but this looks like a ton of fun! I wonder if there are other ways to preserve catfish that would taste good. I wonder if they can be smoked or salted or both. I think I'll look into it. (Edited findings) I looked into it, and there are tons of ways to preserve the catch at home. Search smoking (NOT cold smoking) catfish. It looked really good! There must be precautions against parasites, because it seems like most catfish have them from what I found. After what I've seen I really don't believe I'll be trying catfish sashimi anytime soon. 🤢
I grew up in South Africa... spent time in the Houston area, lived on Lake Texoma... never seen this. Thank you for sharing. God bless!
Wow you knocked it out the park with this episode I really enjoyed this!!
I’ve never seen it around ponchartrain area but only once I’ve heard of it, I had a old timer tell me about the concept he did this in lake Verret area, only difference is he preferred old Freon bottles but also used buckets. Very cool Nate thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for being here brother!
Thanks guys. I'll be trying some can fishing this weekend here in Arkansas. Really enjoyed watching ya'll.
I was amazed the first time I saw a jump box used. Grew up in South Alabama and have hunted and fished my entire life. 55 yrs old and never seen anything like this. I wonder how it would do with a little river current? Appreciate the video
An old-timer once told me when he was a kid they used those large metal milk cans to catch big flat heads, they would lay them alongside Bridge piers during the spawn.
If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have believed it! Absolutely amazing! Sheer genius!!
Howdy just found your channel. Although I'm from Illinois near Chicago my Dad was born and raised on a farm near Savanah Tennessee and the Tennessee River near Pickwick Dam. Spent many days running trot lines with him. Probably my best quality time and memories with Dad. God bless! Never seen anyone bucket fishing before. New sub. God bless!
Love this can't wait to try it thanks for the info I never knew a can and no bait wow !!! I'm in and saving baby fish at the same time plus the best eating ones too !!!
8 inch catfish are the only ones to eat . It's all I eat.
@@nick9227 Hello Nick! May I ask why u only eat 8” catfish, is there a difference n taste to other sizes, or is there a different reason? Thank u and have a wonderful day!
@@joybickerstaff194 in my opinion ...yes. They are better. It's like eating a crispy catfish like you would eat an ear of corn. Finger food. Once you eat a few you learn how to eat it down to a skeleton without getting a bone in your mouth.
They are very popular in fla especially around Lake Okeechobee.
Been eating them for 55 years
never have i saw anything like this this great when spring time comes its gona be first on my list
That was a very cool video. I have never seen that technique. I live out west though and catfish, though there are some, aren't the top target fish. But what a great way to fish. Trot-lines or any unattended lines are not allowed here, but I wonder what they would Game department would say to a hookless line. lol Great video. Thanks for sharing FT TV.
My Daddy and I fished trot lines all my young life! This is a new one! Im gonna give it a whirl. You guys are amazing
never seen a method like that before, awesome how effective it was and that it allows the eggs to still hatch!
Never in my life, but I Love the ingenuity of it. People can survive if they have common sense & learn from older folks. Pass it on to keep it alive. Thanks
That is awesome, I have never seen that in my life and I'm 52. I might have to steal the idea and try it up here in west central Louisiana. Thank you for the great video. New subscriber here, keep up the good work.
That is a good way to get it done. I'm going to try it out thanks for sharing yall
first time viewing your channel, I really enjoyed it and the folks with you! I will be watching more!!! This was awesome!
That looked like it was a blast. I will be doing this in my area. Thanks for posting this awesome video.
Not only is this just a really cool way to fish but his method and technique is outstanding. I've never seen this done until now and I'm mind blown.
This is absolutely amazing I love it I am 55 years old and never seen or heard of this Thank you for sharing 👍
Remarkable video. I'd never seen anything like this before. It's truly incredible how sustainably cost effective, resource reuse efficient, and high yield productive the entire process is while also being fun, entertaining, healthy & totally awesome overall. Nice job & video gentlemen....thanks for the survial lesson, it could be key considering how crazy the times we live in are these days. Fish on....the rope...in the bucket at the end.....lol😎 Aslo....appreciated the knowledge you shared & subscribed cause the presentation was pleasant as well....fist bunp👊👊
I’m in Iowa, and used to live inCalifornia. I have never heard of this method in my whole life! Amazing! Thank you!
What I love about this method is thousands of of eggs have a safe place to hatch and restock the population, making it a sustainable resource, fantastic.amen to you sir
Awsome!! 60 yrs old and fished all my life, and never knew of this. I have a pretty good size pond on my land here in east tx, will give it a shot for sure!! Thank you!
That was amazing. So much fun! Thanks for posting.
a. first for me!!!
It's the first time I have ever seen anything like this! Genius for sure!
Damn, all my years of fishing, this is AMAZING
now I wish I had a boat, that's AWESOME
By far the coolest way of fishing I've ever seen. I should've known yall were Cajuns. I love it. Will, try it one day. God bless from lake charles.
really enjoyed this video. never seen cat fishing this way before. not sure it's legal in my area, but boy would it be fun. thanks
I am 61 and have fished my whole life and have never seen this method of catfishing. Great video! Thanks for sharing this always love learning new things.
That is insane really cool. Thank you for sharing this can ya do it in rivers i wonder. Can't believe no bait and catch that many catfish. Hats off to yall
Thanks for watch the video! It’s kind of similar to noodling if you think about it.
I grew up along the Mississippi River near Wisconsin. We fished with trot lines and floating jugs but I have never heard of this method. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Is he selling them whole or skinning out ??? Would like to see his process . Great video
I have only heard of noodling or fishing with a pole and line...Its great!
Man this is really cool. I seen a video on this about 6 mo augo. I never knew about this method. I live in Arkansas.i run trotline, limb lines ect.. but never have i done this. You can bet you're bottom dollar i will be doing this. This year. I live close to a huge lake that the average depth is about 8'deep. This method will be perfect for the lake. Cool video.
Better check with game and fish, I think this is illegal in Arkansas
@@guyarnold9162 i don't care. I'm gonna do it anyway. Naw just joking. Defintly have to check that out.
I’m 48 years old and live in Manchester Tennessee. Never even heard of, much less seen anything like this. Absolutely gonna try this
I have heard about it but never seen it done. I grew up between des allemand and bayou gauche. Some of the best tasting catfish come from des allemands.
Yes sir! I grew up back of grand bayou right there!
I always love and enjoy something new or a new technique about fishing etc and this was a treat because I had never heard or seen anything like this nor would have ever thought of it. Awesome video thankyou.
It goes without saying that if you plan on doing this, check with your local DNR to make sure it's legal in your state/area.
Love it! If I ever camp near water with catfish I'm tryin it out!
Such a cool video keep up the good work and I cant wait for the hunting content.
Thank you!
Ive cat fished in both virginias, both carolinas, Kentucky and Tennessee. The closest thing I've seen to this was an old timer setting trot lines with a paint can on each line on the Santee river in the 1960s. I always wondered why and thanks to you, now i know!
We had a catfish hatchery in North Florida. We used to put the metal milk jugs that folks used to put out the fresh milk for the trucks to pick up the milk from small producers. Put them in about three feet of water all around the 7 acre pond. The male catfish go find a female that is ready to lay eggs and chases her into the jug. She lays her eggs and then he stays in the jug to fertilize the eggs and then protect the eggs until they hatch. However, we would come along every day to check for eggs. You bend over and run your fist into the jug to feel for eggs. The male would bite you if he could. You put a black bucket down under the water and transfer the eggs to the black bucket and put them back into the boat keeping them out of the sun. The UV from the sunshine would kill the eggs. Then we took the eggs up to our hatchery where we put them into our hatching tanks which were open halves of fiberglass tanks split lengthways. We had home made paddles that we rigged up to an electric motor with gears and a spindle to move the paddles back and forth slowly to keep the eggs oxgenated until they hatched, usually about 3 days. The baby catfish live off of the shell of the eggs for a couple days and then you start feeding them 50% protein food after you have moved them to another none hatching tank. After they get to about 3 inches we haul them to our fingerling ponds and after equalizing the water temperature from the hauling water to the pond water we put them into the ponds where we continued to feed them regularly until they were about 5 inches or so or bigger and we would get orders for stocking ponds for people and seine up the fingerlings and sell them by the hundred. Of course we always gave good measure and put 110 instead of a hundred. I stocked many a pond around North Florida. It was cold in the water getting the eggs, too, mostly they layed in late February to about May when the temperatures rose. It was interesting. Women always thought the catfish had a good system, the female laid the eggs, then her work was done. The male stayed and protected the eggs and the babies until they were ready to survive on their own.
