100 Plus Pound Blue Catfish: Missouri River, Missouri - Northwoods Angling

[@imwyrmfood9925]

Much respect for letting that monster go. Something that big has earned the right to keep on keeping on. Thank you.

[@ronaldnorris2179]

You’re exactly right 👍

[@remingtonhahn3209]

100 percent just got a 60 pounder on the Missouri couldn’t imagine keeping it let it get bigger

[@brad325is]

"I'll one hand your rod" not the best choice of words lmao! Nice video!!!

Steve carrel: that's what she said

[@JayCole37]

Lol 😂

[@ralphfoster6254]

"We gotta double!!"

[@ralphfoster6254]

SWEET fish!!! Good goin guys,great fishing,thats what its all about!!!

[@tebeardenkahboom1]

I so admire that you released that Beast. Thank you for ensuring our future Anglers to have the opportunity to experience what it's like. Thank you again and good job and great catch!!!

[@theonefrancis696]

Fishing is respecting your prey :)

[@rickyh4796]

I agree. I release everything. I enjoy the sport and comrade of fishing.

[@encinobalboa]

Thumbs up for release!

[@TheGuruStud]

You can't eat it...unless you like cancer.

[@watercool5]

Here in Maryland, Blue Catfish are invasive and you are instructed to keep all of them. They taste great and the white meat is safe to eat occasionally.

[@TyPigPatrol]

Had to rewatch this. what an insane fish!

[@BPRbuster]

It’s so good that you let the super big ones go after catching. They wouldn’t be good eating and the number of super big really old fish have dwindled over the years with over-fishing. It’s good that these elder fish are still around to do their job of cleaning up the bottom of dirty rivers and streams all throughout the south. Good job guys! Respect!

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

that was a fish of a lifetime! great job guys

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Luke's lifetime! Jakob is due now! :)

[@Extremekhan24]

dang and I thought muddy river does well

[@FatBoyDan]

it sure is a fish of a life time .

[@heatherhoskin2002]

You are good at 🐟 ing 😘😍😋😇😸

[@rickjenkins9670]

How do I get one of those tomcat rods?? I love the action on that rod. Looks like The backbone comes all the way down to the first eye

[@londaharris1]

*I already own the Battle II combo **enjoyable.fishing** recommend and decided to try a Fierce II combo to carry out to the pier. Works great and for the money they are hard to beat.*

[@rmg03c]

Man, when that double hit, I lost control! My smile went from ear to ear!!! I lost it and I was there, on that boat!!! living it with y'all!!!! Awesome fellas!!! Just awesome!!! I have NEVER hooked anything that size!!! EPIC!!! And all that on a 'wet noodle' of a rod! Just WOW@!!!!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks!!

[@bogey2230]

Nice fish boys. You've got a story to tell around the fire pit for years...years. Kuddos to you two gents for putting it back in the water - to breed and spawn fish your kids can catch. That's a day on the river deserving of a cold beer and a glass of whiskey

[@danielcollins9850]

Thanks for the release. You guys are a true sportsman. A plus.

[@Comfortkingach]

That was an amazing fish. I knew you were gonna catch a big one. I still giggled right along with you guys when you got it in. Great job guys.

[@oneg1970]

Good job buddy. I appreciate you all throwing that big fish back. He was a giant.

[@Baboon4215]

If someone don't think that's exciting, then they must not like fishing. That is amazing, great job guys :)

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks Michael!

[@Baboon4215]

You brought out a really key point in this video that lots of people overlook when hunting for big catfish. I'll be posting my own stuff soon, but not just for catfish only. It will be all species of Bass, Trout & Musky on lures and flies. In December I'm upgrading my Sea Eagle inflatable from the SE-9 I've had to their 126 SR Model--awesome boat for smaller/bigger waters...our special needs son is super excited :)

[@TyPigPatrol]

This video blows my mind, every time.

[@phatone911]

That damn rod is SERIOUS. Great haul. Like a small human. DAMN

[@averageordinaryguy312]

I bet the beer went down easy after that!! Great job getting that monster to and in the boat.

[@claysumm5398]

Very Great catch you guys! That has to be close to a state record. Awesome editing as well.

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@grandpatzer]

This is one of the best KZbin videos I’ve ever seen.

[@bottomdwellerstackle]

Awesome job guys! Congratulations and THANK YOU for the release. Way to go!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks BottomDwellers!

[@rainfalledits]

The text on the cooler was dope editing

[@cameomiddleton79]

Wooohoooo!! Blue cats are my favorite fish to catch, but I've never caught one like these beasts! So jealous!

[@ronaldnorris2179]

That’s a fish of a lifetime!!!!

[@douglasmcmillion]

I used to fish and swim the Missouri when I was stationed at Offutt. I'm glad to see you released that giant. He deserved to live out his life. That thing was probably 18 years old. Good job.

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

That fish would be between 25 to 30 years old with their growth rate.

[@douglasmcmillion]

@@NorthwoodsAngling I thought blue cats only lived 20 years?

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

@@douglasmcmillion Depends what study you ready, most will say over 25, some say up to 20. I believe the fish that were aged show some up to 30

[@douglasmcmillion]

@@NorthwoodsAngling well how ever old, ive never seen anything like that.

[@velocityoutdoors5178]

I love that you released him hes literally 100x the size of the one i cuahgt

[@robstone5333]

Thank you for a great well-produced video. And many thanks for releasing your fish.

[@rickcruz7754]

Nice video a real fisherman respect monsters like that and release them good job guys..

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

+Rick Cruz Thanks Rick!

[@WesleyAPEX]

Probably the biggest fish in the river

[@travispeterson5359]

Probably not... Ive had fish pull reels off rods before.

[@cattrailsfishing3195]

Nope there’s one in that spot that’s over 130

[@thewibb]

AWESOME! Subbed when you put that monster back for the next to enjoy, she's been alive longer than both of you combined probably. Good shit!

[@andyattitude2000]

When you landed that monster I thought of the quote from "JAWS", "we need a bigger boat". Nice job and many thanks for returning those great fish back for the future to enjoy, not to mention saving all the great genes.

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks Andy! Northwoods is all about catch and release!

[@mariehampton740]

Even tho its 2 years later...... I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!

[@carlbamburg7439]

I fished the Ouachita River in N.E. La for years for these Blues and Opps (Flathead).. I've missed a couple in this range, but my biggest was about 45 lbs.. I always tell people they can HAVE bass fishing, there's nothing like multiple rods and the mystery of how big that catfish will be when it breaches.. They're a great fight.. BTW, we've always called that underwater geography you're fishing a cut bank.. Basically, a deep pool on the outer edge of a turn in the river cut away by years of current and debris.. ALWAYS ups your chances for big catfish..

[@nathanielschwaller5012]

that is a MONSTER! Biggest I've caught on the missouri was a 25 pound blue. Y'all killed it!

[@gregj831]

A one of a kind fishing experience. Absolutely incredible! I noticed you guys were fishing in what appeared to be fairly stout current?

[@TNRVG]

Amazing fish! Glad its back in its glorious 1080p resolution!!!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

We are also glad!

[@williamgreen9663]

Thats what legends are made from.

[@BBBYpsi]

That monster is prehistoric. What a beast it was & great job letting that old monster live out it's life in the river.

[@noujaiyang1513]

Small dude gets small fish. Big guy gets big fish. Perfect match.

[@cameronlevenger9395]

That’s awesome seeing him smile after catching that ole blue nice catch man wow!

[@discoveryoutdoorskcfishing236]

Absolutely incredible fish guys! I pulled in a pretty big blue yesterday myself but after watching this video I think yours might have eaten mine LOL

[@shawnakafawltytenor3544]

Agree with Bryan, no other word for it. EPIC. Awesome video, love that take-down!!!!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

We are so glad that take down was captured - I don't think there was any other way to get that captured but to have another fish already on and the cameras already going! Thanks again for the support!

Best comment

[@gixxxer1k]

Lol, Man, people who don’t wear crocs fishing don’t fish enough. Stand on a casting deck for 12 hours bare foot in the south or with shoes. Neither is desirable. Crocs are best of both, not hot and provide shade. Function over fashion my friend

[@saltysergeant1620]

Yeah baby! Awesome stuff! Finally found some fellas just like me! Happy fishing!

Who would make such a claim, and hadn't caught one. Well done Rosebud.

[@1981shooter1981]

The biggest cat fish of my live weight 3 lbs, now you guys erase my smiley of my face...

[@Turppa21]

No digital scale? maaaan. Wonder what it actually weighed.

[@bradhenke7552]

If you do the math for calculating weight. It was 118lbs

[@David-ll8bt]

I was fishing Offshore, Louisiana a few years ago, about 300" of water. Got a tug on the line, set the hook and reeled, and reeled, and reeled. Got it to the boat, pulled it in, it was a lantern, and it was lit! If you take 20#s off the Cat, I'll blow the lantern out. Just pushing your leg. NICE fish.

[@bgdesignandsolutions]

Yea but, it's not whether the lantern is still lit, it's how bright it is that counts.

[@epicrcs1299]

How long can cats survive out of water that first one just laid on the deck

[@thatguy.3612]

Catfish are one species that can actually last a good bit. I think the biggest thing in this case would be the revival before releasing, which they did.

[@epicrcs1299]

Probably because it was in a river so we just faced its mouth into the current

[@bradbetts3926]

ive been told 3 days i know for a fack three hours

[@DrDemento456]

Much longer than most fish I wouldn't say hours they are tough their skin is like leather but you have to remember to keep the slime coat wet

I'm from Pittsburgh PA and we have fish that big all day long in our rivers. I use raw bacon to catch cats or anything for that matter. Best bait I ever used, I never got one that big I can't lie and say I did but I've seen buddy's of mine and people I don't know that was fishing right next to us catch monsters like that. Awesome fish yinz guys both of yinz got monsters that day.

Missouri record is 120lb and I would say this fish is closer to that amount. Go take a look your fish looks nearly identical. What an awesome catch!! Once in a lifetime.. Congrats!!!

[@After_this_He_will_return]

Insane fish! OMG it was huge!! I have never seen a catfish that big in my entire life of fishing. My grandfather caught the state trotline flathead here in Oklahoma back in 1995, at 79 lbs. Look it up sometime if you're interested. His name was Floyd Hubble. It was caught in Lake Eufaula if I remember right. I could be wrong about the lake and the year. I was only 13 or 14, so that was years ago. Haha! Sweet video guys!! Thanks!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

+christopher bell 79lb flat!! We dream of that Christopher! Will definitely check it out. Thanks for watching!!

[@After_this_He_will_return]
