I’ve been trying to catch a giant one living under my front porch for a year, and a half. In the process I’ve only managed to catch 2 raccoons, 7 skunks, and 20+ opossums. I’m going to switch from cat food to worms, and see if I can catch that pesky flower bed killer. 👍 from Texas.

Poor bastard. Broke my heart hearing you had a cooler in the bed of the truck and came home empty handed again 😢

Shoulda gave them .22 cents.

Wild fishing. It's weird going from fishing a river to a creek and then a lake. They all fish so differently. Hopefully you'll post more! I'm here after watching your Chromium review and unboxing. I'm hoping to visit Kistler sometime soon to meet them.

I don’t like to kill animals but 20-30% of armadillo’s carry leprosy

Here in Georgia I'm just starting to get a armadillo. They do tear up the lawn and flower gardens. Just bought a couple traps today and will see what i catch.

Yep, catch them in your cross hairs. Please dont let them go if you catch them. They are everywhere lately. Mid Missouri.

Texas State dept says "dispatch" them

Gee whiz...thanks neighbor. That explains my crappy grass and lack of flowers in my garden overnight. LOL

And I love the water fall and the Patel boats they are so gopd

My grandparents have a home next to their and I live the put put golf and the river they have some good trout their my family actually works there so I am always there like %80 percent of the time and I go all around the park I know every staff there and I can fish to so you can hit me up and I will give you the axes and we can go together

Nice! Working all my favorite spots in The Woods!

Armadillos dig in the ground and expose themselves to harmful bacteria such as le leprosy bacteria. Like tetanus use caution. Lock jaw isn't pretty and neither is leprosy.

So you can hunt in Sam Houston with a special drawn tag or anything? It’s open for public hunting (with appropriate permit)

Everything is easy when you got money and golf cars and nice house, when you have money life is much easier

Thanks you really helped me when before is struggled wit tying knots 😁

What lake?

Thanks for the video, new sub, keep it up

Give a neighbor your problem

lol, typical crystal beach fishing. Catfish, Catfish, Catfish, Catfish, sunset, pack up.

M brother just caught a 7.8 lb large on the exact bait

I almost busted an ankle one night so now they get the pew pew.. try throwing some cayenne pepper in the areas you see holes and put the dirt back on it and this should help deter them. Also pour some of that cayenne pepper around areas of your fence you see holes.

Thing will probably beat you back home

Don't let them go.

I don't want to kill them either but they are driving me insane. They are just doing what they do but my yard and garden looks like someone shot it up.

all the armos around my house only come out at night and at different times so it's super frustrating trying to find out where their coming from. I have gotten up and down all night looking outside trying to catch em in act but apparently missed em because the next morning I go outside and find what looks like pig rootings from where the armo just mocked and laughed at me and dug my yard up some more. Steam boiling out my ears! Oh and while surveying my yard at 2:am last night I find a giant opossum in the back yard, so I'm thinking the critters are ganging up on me now 😮 They both got to go, one way or another

Pretty sure the 100 and 200 is the actual size of the reel, not how many yards of line it can hold. It is a 100 sized reel.

Awesome video. Do you have any specific colors you use for Spring time. During Pre spawn to spawn?

Was this in Sept ? Thats all i caught last yr along with seaweed

What did you figure our with this? Mine has same issue and sound when spinning the prop

The bug is a hammer bait no doubt!!

Mind blowing how different texas is. In NM, just next door, water is still in the 40s.

Setup?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Awesome video man!! Makes me excited for spring!! I'm into making fishing videos too, and I absolutely love what you're doing! Keep up the fantastic work! 🔥🔥🤝🤝

I can't believe they are playing around with this disgusting animal !!!!

I would have used either cheese cloth or a fishing mesh to wrap the cut bait, It keeps bait stealers from pecking at it. Also, would have juiced it with some mullet scented gel.

I fish East Bay at night a lot out of Matagorda, in my kayak. One thing about fishing at night. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It'll test your patience. I fish a lot of back lakes and sloughs and when there is any wind, which is most of the time, precise casting is difficult, because you usually can't see your lure. If there is no wind, then don't forget your bug spray. lol Sometimes those shallow coves really heat up at night, especially on a low tide that flushes the bait out of the grass. You will hear schools of reds coming toward you from 50 yards away because they are popping the bait so hard. A large noisy top water, like a Super Spook is usually my first choice. I have caught 26" trout up in sloughs where they would never be in the daytime. It is best in the summer when you can avoid the 90-100 degree daytime temps.

Dude get you a climbing stand and get away from trails and you will get deer every season trust me I get them every year shnf and Davy Crockett

Beautiful spot. Water looked crystal clear

Fish net with a long handle would have got him.

Use a wooden trap. They work much better and need no bait. Once you trap an armadillo it, leave it in the trap for around 12 hours. It will put its scent into the trap and that scent will attract other armadillos. The more you catch the better it works. You need to take them farther away to relocate them. Otherwise they will eventually return to your yard. Take them at least 10 miles away, preferably in a wooded or swampy area. BTW - If you are quick enough, you probably could have walked up to the one you chased and picked it up. Do it quickly because they will buck and jump out of your hands. One night I caught a mother with three babies following. I walked right up and picked up two of the babies. The other two were gone by the time I was able to contain the two I caught. i put them in a bathtub until I relocated them the next day.

I'm going tomorrow morning to scout

Thank you for sharing. I need to rehome the armadillo that is tearing up my yard and I don’t want to kill it either. Thanks.

Nice! I just picked up a few of those same swim baits. Ready to target some big fish

Sam is tough I do wear the orange lots of newbies with 308 Rugers scary

I liked where you hunted in the wood's

I think you need to scout more into the brush and see if there are acorns dropping or see if deer are bedding up there

Hope you checked that downed log for nope ropes before kneeling by it.

Good to see you still out there giving it hell. A little tip when doing this type of scouting. Try not to walk on the actual trail it self, but stay maybe 10-15 yards away from it. Mitigate scent as much as possible. One last tip, carry your climber with you. That way if you find good sign, you can climb 20-30' and hunt it. Most truly monster bucks are killed on the first sit, in a brand new spot. Get a good harness for your climber if you need to.
