    I just love it. As an old farm boy from Illinois, I'm used to fishing creeks & ponds. To have a chance at big blues and flat heads on the Tennessee River would be a dream come true. I guess you catch so many smaller blues that you don't bother filleting the one I saw you catching in this video. You're making me hungry for catfish!

    I am so thankful for you to catch this fish. I don't say that much because of course I want to catch it but if not me I'm so glad it was you. I bought my first four monster rod holders and couldn't be happier with the product. The brackets they came with for my boat worked perfectly.

  • @BillieRight1
    @BillieRight1 3 роки тому +1

    You have made a great video that can make those watching get excited watching you pull that monster in. Monster Rod Holders and Monster Rods are well named. That monster catfish sure gave you an adrenaline rush! WOW!!!

    What a Blue! I am glad you caught that monster, and wish you could have landed that second monster. I am telling you, you need to write a book. Future catfishermen will sing your praises as long as their are big catfish to catch, and men to catch them. Just another fantastic video, thank your wife for the great job she has done in recording your adventures over the years. She is a Pearl of great price.

    I'd love to see you bank fish a spillway, I've always bankfished ponds and in my area pull out 10-15 sometimes 17-18 pound channel cats. But bullheads on a spillway would be an amazing video. I love your channel. Have been subscribed for 3 or 4 years now. I appreciate every video! Thank you
