    Why I like Dieter: He's mature. He doesn't shout. He doesn't start each video with "What's up, guys?" After all that, the fact that he gives good info is a bonus.

    Dieter, I love your channel, but I have 1 request:
    When you catch decent sized blue, can you give more details about the environment you caught them in? Depth, temp, etc. - just a few more technical detail in other words.
    Less experienced trophy fisherman like me could use that to set patterns throughout the year.
    Thanks man.

    Oklahoma skunkings continue. Fished 10 hours yesterday all over the lake end to end. Caught 2 small blues and 1 small channel.
    Unfortunately we provably have 2 or 3 more weeks. At least.

    Fished lake Bridgeport here in Texas on Saturday 6/29, using chicken breast. We SLAYED them, fishing from the bank, consistently pulled in fish for about 3 hours in the afternoon. Filled a cooler full of eaters and went home!

    Not so much where I am. I went Friday morning then again in the late afternoon and did not catch a single catfish. I did catch a 35 pound gar. While fun to catch, that wasn't what I was after. Even shrimp didn't entice them. This weekend is too hot to be fishing, so I plan to wait another week or 2.

    Back home in Belmont Ohio the local lakes n Ohio River like fishing in a bath tub😢. I tried my luck last night in Sandusky up by Port Clinton Ohio n bite was on. Not as fast n furious like April May but caught catfish between 2lbs - 12lbs. Out about 5 hrs. Mostly males n handful small females. Didn’t see any huge ones caught. I did lose one thinking pushing 20lbs. Good sign for back home😅

    We are about 2 weeks or so into spawn, but are trouble is rain. Minnesota and Wisconsin got heavy rains causing the Rock River to rise 3 ft or so then the level will go down an right back up. My neighbor went out yesterday an told me stay home, the current moving along heavier, big trees have pilled up on the docks wing damn again.

    Seen the last videos man honestly I’ve been killing it the last month in the heat. Night fishing with live baits. 20 lb flat, 36 lb flat, 30 lb blue, and several other blue and channels in the teens. But I guess it comes down to your location and when and how you catfish. ✌🏼

      A fish an hour is on the slow side here. Two an hour about average. Anything above that is golden.

He tried to flip it over the dock and lost it, but that changed my mind on stink baits. After experimenting with a few Ive settled on Berkley Powerbait catfish bait, it stinks but not nearly as much some others and catches bigguns, at least the Cut Shad flavor does

      To me, and a lot of other people out there including a lot of my female viewers, there is something creepy about an old man putting a woman in scantily clad clothing on the boat to get views. Not to mention, I have a lot of kids that watch my channel, and like it or not, we as known UA-camrs are role models to these kids. I'd rather use my time to educate them in a postivie way.
