I am a die hard bass fisherman but you have definitely opened my eyes to catfishing. I may have to try out the Detroit River this spring... Keep the videos coming .

[@robertj.oliverphotographer3622]

Steve you rock the catfish boat ole buddy! ! Thanks to you and your videos I'm now the proud owner of two new tangling with Catfish extreme poles and two Catmaxx reels just like my Hero. Keep the videos coming. . Your wife is a great camera person and we wish she would land a big one every now and then too. You are blessed to have such talent and a friend to capture it all for you. .

Robert J. Oliver Photographer thanks for dropping by to leave a comment Robert, I have tried to get lisa to fish but she doesnt have the interest in it she said, she likes being behind the camera she says. But I will show her your kind comment, she is an awesome camera person and works hard to get the shots.

Hi Steve, I am running a little late getting to watch this video but I finally made it. Just got off the Ohio River. My brother and I caught 7 this evening. Thanks for all the instructional videos that made that possible. I have been using a lot of your instructions and doing well. As always this is a great video to watch. I like to save and replay these when there is a foot of snow on the ground. Stay safe and we will be watching for the next edition. Tom

[@Grey_Wulfe]

Another great video Steve. Watching these trips brings back memories of trips to Lake Norman with my uncle in his old bass boat. That was where i caught my first decent channel cat and ever since then I have loved to fish. Thank you for your example of good sportsmanship and respect for the beautiful creation God has given us to play in. Hopefully some day I can afford a decent boat to try some of these techniques on the rivers near me.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

zombie weasel thank you so much

[@cordelltravis5475]

Awesome video Steve! I would have loved to be in the boat that day. I still don't understand why you don't keep ANY. There had to be a size that you'll keep for dinner.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Cordell Travis the smaller ones would have been fine to keep for table fare but the main reason is im too lazy to clean fish after i have been out on the water all day. lol

[@cordelltravis5475]

Lol believe me i understand!

[@Trapper234]

Great professional video! Thanks

[@riverrat6998]

Awesome fish Steve thanks for sharing this trip with everyone!

[@scottmorgan4889]

we have a couple of honey holes for cats in south carolina. we have santee cooper and lake monticello. i go to each one, have hooked some bigen and have now upgraded my equipment. my goal is a 100 lb fish. might not never get it, but if you dont try, you definately wont. i met my other goals-51 lb striper, freshwater, 3.5 lb crappie, 10 lb largemouth. It gives me somthing to strive for. i may well get it on monticello.

[@brushycreeklures]

great vid

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

brushycreeklures thank you

[@billyscott85]

Hey Mr. Steve, awesome video, keep em coming! I went down to golconda a few weeks ago and current was pretty crazy. Looks like a lake where your at. I may head back down there soon and see if it has calmed down. Have you been on that part of the river lately? I am new to fishing the big rivers and trying to learn the best way to go about checking river conditions and currents etc. before making the trip down there. Maybe you have a vid on that already but if not i would appreciate your input on that. Thanks

[@daveward1935]

The only time I fished the Ohio was in winter, about in '90/91 (from bank). Very cold. Wheeling.W. Va. Didn't even get a bite, but that place has flats written all over it, so tried it anyway.

[@rossmcclure5618]

Great stuff as usual. I've been "puddle jumpin" too much. Man, the fishing is tuff above Markland. Nothing like it was 5 yrs ago.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Ross McClure your right on that,

[@markymark6555]

+Ross McClure evil pay ponds! Thats why.

[@Catfishinky]

As always a awesome video Steve!!!!! Hope to see more like this 1...Thank you for all you do!!!! Fish On!!!! :)

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Catfishinky thanks

[@nastytater557]

Loved it Mr. Steve....I would however,like to see the camera not being shoved down at lake level when the fish gets brought in. But other than that,Great Video.

[@marshallhurt8814]

Hey Steve, great video! Nice cats your catching! I haven't been catfishing for while im ready to go now after watching this video. Think mit hit the river this weekend do some catfishing. Keep catching the biggins and keep the videos coming.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

[@lesforemoremoreforeles8626]

[@joshroan8828]

I found this channel by accident now I'm addicted. Not only is it entertaining but informative as well. Thank you Sir and keep up the great work.

[@gscompton1965]

Steve as always ...love the videos,my Question is can you do a video on your down time on the Rod Holder...why use them ,or will the pole jump out in the water ..etc.... think it would be a good video explaining to alot of folks Thanks as always your Friend Greg

[@paulatkinson4439]

Rod holders will make you think you have a new boat. Frees up room on the decks & floor & certainly helps with the housekeeping in the boat. I make my own bases. Love the rod holders. Also, picked some arm rests to put on the pedestal seats, OH BABY ! Not only comfortable, but a bit of a safety feature too.

[@deebartley5178]

Thanks Steve for another great video! Had fun watching and even feels like I'm right there with you! Really like this different style show.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Dee Bartley thank you, glad you liked it

[@Joe-kb1sm]

I'm a bank fisherman. Good tips though.

[@smokingmotivation400]

Same here but a boat will be coming soon

[@joemoon4272]

Hey Steve, really enjoyed this video and liked how you said in the beginning and end, have some fun, and mostly have some patience. So many people I fish with are ready to leave if they don't catch a fish in the first 15 mins.

[@J.Da.Goat4597]

[@dougmcginnis691]

I enjoy watching your fish videos, Steve. You've taught me a lot. I live near Portsmouth. I like to kayak fish but haven't got up the nerve to fish the Ohio in it. I'm not sure what I'd do if I cough one those monsters.

[@garymccraw1466]

Awesome Video Steve

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Gary McCraw thank you

[@stevenbrooks9299]

I would love too fish with u and learn how too catch these monsters if I could be a guest on your show

[@jbattison]

Glad to see more fishing videos! keep it up. Do you always need flowing water to find the skipjack?

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Jeff Battison its been my experience that water flow is best

[@dougmcginnis691]

I enjoy watching your fish videos, Steve. You've taught me a lot. I live near Portsmouth. I like to kayak fish but haven't got up the nerve to fish the Ohio in it. I'm not sure what I'd do if I cough one those monsters. I wanted to go to your conference last month but need to be with my mother who is a Hospice patient. Maybe next year.

[@jeremyweber8592]

great job Steve i liked this vid. keep them comming

[@emerydages1370]

Very nice Video on a 3 hour catfish trip, need to get me some fresh skip jack or shad...

[@rossmcclure5618]

Shad don't cost much if you have a cast net, and learn to throw it. Also, if you live near a dam on the ohio river, you can catch skipjack right now on sabiki rigs. They are a blast to catch. There are videos on this channel on how to catch em. I was catching 2 at a time today.

[@anajay78]

Gotta love the circle hook.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

anajay78 i like them , they have caught me alot of fish

[@BillMikesAnglingAdventures]

not bad for only a few hours out on the water - video looks great on my 55" tv

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

***** thanks bill

[@matluv2fish2005]

Another great video Steve! I have had some really good luck with circle hooks also. I have had some instances with them hooking back into the bait when using live bait. I try to hook them shallow but still had some issues. Any suggestions on fixing this? Thanks for sharing.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Matthew Helms mattew thats just going to happen from time to time, check your baits often

[@paulatkinson4439]

Always enjoy watching Steve's videos. I have made an observation, & would like to pass along an experience, may save my fishing bruthahood a little grief. I used to wear sandals , or clog type shoes while fishing. Kicking them off for comfort (can be a hook hazard). 1 evening, I got up to check a rod or possibly throw the net for bait, whatever, & a sandal type shoe, halfway came off a foot, causing loss foot to slide & trip me. I came down on the gunnel HARD with a shin & knee impact. Fellas, I'm tellin ya, it hurt like the devil, & was painful for quite some time. It finally stopped bothering me, but had me concerned about damage for a good while. It's laced on boots ,shoes, or bare feet for me now. Good fishin to all.

[@rayhedrick3161]

I really enjoy watching your videos. I fish the Ohio river about 40 miles south of Louisville ky every chance I get. My results are quite different than yours of course. But I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what your doing and why! Love your new boat btw!!

[@mississippimud3118]

3 hours! I couldn't catch those in 3 weeks Steve. Nice Fish

[@jessebrake5865]

More like the catfish king

[@SuperHank777]

Love the videos, why don't u use live bait? Seems u mostly use cut bait? I can't catch any flatheads where I live without using love bait it seems.
