Net losing. That armband and rope gets stiff in freezing temperatures, it doesn’t exactly loop around your wrist every time. Luckily I got it back.

I know it! I was in a hurry to get it back I’ve lost too many.

@@Gokywildcats11 it’s one of the Kentucky River locks.

@@Jaydrizzy2408 it’s really shallow out there but if you get your bait in just the right spot there’s a drop off on the other side of the log and that’s what I was aiming for. It’s about 10-15 foot after that log and then it’s only 2-3ft deep, if that, the rest of the way into the bank. In the summertime when the river is low you can walk out quite a way and actually see the drop off on the other side of the log.

You have to love it when you’re able to save them!

@@HuntFishVa Yes they get huge on the Ohio River. This year I landed a bunch around 30lb off the boat, had a friend catch a 50 in the boat next to me. I know they get much bigger than that I just haven’t been able to land one yet.

@geoffbohartfishing nice fish...tight lines man...🐟🐟🐟

@@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude I appreciate it Steve, thanks for watching. I’m looking forward to seeing you again at the Catfish and Crappie Conference!

@@ljmck7739 Thank You!

Same here in Louisville I fish down at Eva bandman Park on River road im trying to figure out how deep I should fish

@Jaydrizzy2408 I've caught big fish in the Louisville area in water 5ft deep and 30 ft deep, but I almost always fish strictly on the bottom. If fishing from the bank I would recommend hitting the outside edge of bends in the river where its usually a bit deeper and if you cant do that, look for piles of logs and trees and cast at them. Hope this helps you get a big un!

@@ky00buckshot I use Ande’s Monster Monofilament 40LB Main Line and I use 80LB Ande’s Leader Line. I have been using Ande’s for a couple years because I’ve always heard good things about them. And it has low memory making it a great line to use on a baitcaster despite the heavy test! If you fray the line I do recommend pulling off a few feet and retying, it does break if it gets frayed. If you are looking for a Walmart/Baitshop option I recommend Berkeley Big Game I use that when I am out of Ande’s.

I gotcha... just thinking about switching to braid with mono leader.... No particular reason other than just a change for a change..lol. I bought a couple of the MH 7'6 whisker seeker rods over the holidays.. Alright Man.. keep on keeping on!

@@ky00buckshot I’ve been running that Berkeley Braid on one pole and really like it a lot compared to other braids.

@@claybeverly9201 I know it, I was scrambling to get that back! Thank you for tuning in!

@@dontraylor3391 Next time we’ll have to gather up some more wood! That cold is brutal!

@@CaptainKenFishing Thank you for watching!

@@mikewilson5101 I use size 10/0 and 8/0 Trophy Cat Tackle hooks. If I’m fishing for blues or river fishing I always try to use 10/0 and for channel cats and creeks I’ll use an 8/0 circle hook.

@@bankmasteroutdoors Thanks man 💪

@@TheChiefSmokem Thanks bro despite the cold weather it was a pretty good morning!

@@tonyknott3789 it’s a small lake. Thanks for watching

I’m not sure, but Markland has signs saying to stay back the 150 feet (50 yards). I think the sign on the lock wall says to stay away from it 300 feet or yards, I can’t remember. It’s very dangerous by the lock wall when they let boats through. I’ve seen some giant waves almost take boats out over there so I usually stay away. You could check out Carrolton Boat ramp it’s very nice, or Ghent, but it doesn’t have a dock.

@geoffbohartfishing thanks, yeah, definitely need to stay clear of lock wall when discharging water. Will look at carrolton-ghent as option, thanks

@@TheChiefSmokem thanks man! I appreciate you watching! It should settle down soon!

@@brianshelley4416 it’s high right now. I filmed this right before it got cold out, my friend and I didn’t have much time that day so we just caught a couple and left.

@@thomasmetzger9234 Thank you! I know it, I’ve been eyeballing one of those nice cutting boards. They have a catfish and crappie event in February, I’ll probably try to find one then. Thank you for joining the channel and I appreciate your service! 🇺🇸

@@mikewilson5101 12-18 inches

We were using both 2 and 3 inch Stinger Hooks and the Finesse Minnows are 4 inch.

Yes they are very similar to Walleye they are excellent table fare! It was a great time as always fishing with those guys! I appreciate you stopping in to check out the adventure Happy New Year!

@@darreldavis9458 I’m not River Blood but you can find any dams on google or on Maps. You can use vevay and carrolton boat ramps.

@@garettehaire7362 Unfortunately I don’t. My friend Chief Smokem takes me when I go and it’s a lot like a fishing spot. 🤐 I believe outdoor flea markets are closed this time of year but if you google outdoor flea markets near your area you can find them. I have to drive 2 1/2 hours when I go with my friend. He’s got a whole channel mainly flea marketing if you’re interested in more videos like this give him a watch. I’ll be posting another one like this next year.

@@thomasmetzger9234 I would like to come up and visit the area one day! I go near the Toledo area sometimes but haven’t got to do much fishing yet.

@@thomasmetzger9234 Thank you for your service! And Merry Christmas! I am looking forward to coming up north to check out the great fishing asap, I just found out how to catch Sauger this way recently from Jim, he lived above Lake Erie and is also an Army veteran he was telling me up there it’s common to catch walleye 26-28in.

@@rayhollingsworth2588 We were on them! Sauger are excellent eating, we mainly caught Sauger but we caught a few Saugeyes and Chief Smokem caught a nice Walleye. If you’re ever up north and looking for a fun catch, i would give it a try. But, I bet you’ve got all the nice catfish down in Southern Mississippi! Thanks for tuning in!

@@garythomas-z9t We were outside of a creek mouth in NKY they seem to be sticking to in front of creek mouths in about 20ft of water on the main channel.

@@TheChiefSmokem Thanks man, that was definitely a blast out on the mighty Ohio River with Captain Pugsley! 🔥 I’m looking forward to the next one 😎

Hope you're doing well and had a great Christmas brother. Puff Puff & Many blessings.

That’s a SeaArk ProCat 240

@ thanks, looking to buy and that looks like a lot of room!

It’s the nicest boat I’ve ever stepped on! So much elbow room and it comes with a 250 horse Yamaha 4 stroke engine. It’s also got an 80 gallon livewell I believe, you can literally lay down inside the livewell.

@ thanks, looks like a nice rig.

There are some good spots on the Indiana side. A lot of good fish are caught from over there but it is snaggy in places so bring a lot of tackle.

@@geoffbohartfishing Thanks!!!

Thank you! It’s a good running engine we test drove it yesterday and it rips!
