This CONCRETE PIT is Hiding One of The BIGGEST Fish in The WORLD!!! (New PB!)

[@MrSchwach]

Went lake sturgeon fishing. The guide used lots of night crawlers on a big circle hook. Like 5 crawlers on each hook. Worked great. Try it.

[@fishingwithmikeyanddad310]

Just one will work. As long you in the right spot. Caught 62 pounder with one worm

[@JefferyHagen]

I remember an article in Catfish Insider ( over 20 years ago 🙄) where said he used a big circle hook with as many night crawlers as he could fit on the hook for giant catfish. His philosophy was that the bluegills would nip at the night crawlers which would then attract the catfish.

[@noahreineke9569]

@@JefferyHagenHmm. You’d think if the large fish were attracted to the bluegill, they would then eat the bluegill and not the worm. I’ve never caught anything over 8lbs on night crawlers. However, with live bluegill and cut bluegill, I took my personal best catfish from 8, to 23lbs. I caught nearly a dozen 10-20 pounders that year too.

[@Eke817]

We use one night crawler and one-half slice of bacon on a circle hook. Rarely fails and the bacon is like candy to a fat kid.

[@noahreineke9569]

@@Eke817 No, I catch all sorts of fish, and I can catch them reliably. Not to say that a night crawler isn’t a good bait. But it’s not as good of a bait for LARGE fish like large flathead or large blues. Blues are good on cut bait, and flathead live bait. Generally speaking from my experience, and the experience of most people I’ve seen.

[@steveklick]

Dude, that was one of the sickest fishing spots ever. Places like that are something out of my dreams. An old unused dam that's just been left to nature with all kinds of rockpiles and jams and structure and such. You have to go back there.

[@j0909vfjklc]

I'm sure that blue gill is glad it was colorful and cool looking. Live to see another day

[@DelightfulGlassblower-sn1xk]

Long ear sunfish

[@steveklick]

I felt the same way. I was like dude let him go, and the fish was like dude seriously you could make a wish right now! Very magical area. I would love to fish all day there.

Your last sturgeon video inspired me to get out for em on my local river. Landed a 6 foot white sturgeon from shore. Don't stop the search, it'll be so worth it when you get one. Cheers brother 🍻

[@rchrdjms62]

Thanks very much for the video. I see you've been utilizing some of my skills such as slipping on the rocks, and the fish breaking the line.

[@StB55-oi9yp]

Wait, I’m the one that is the master of those skills.

[@randya3423]

I’m old school with boats when it comes to fishing. I’m impressed with the amount of gear you can get on that kayak and the spots you can access especially dealing with spillways. A traditional flat bottom boat or skiff would be dicey in those currents. Loved this video!

[@alanshearing7515]

Stay close to your rods Nick , the one that got away!. Awesome spot . You’ll get the monster next time . Great video 👍

[@sestoelemento5397]

[@FarmerFpv]

Reminds me of fishing in the Trinity River except the water there is much cleaner and clearer. Good call on taking off. Lightning fishing rods and water don't mix well. I remember I hooked onto a huge Gar on the Trinity and it started to storm. I knew it was going to take me a long time to get the fish in. I was so scared the whole time. I had no choice but to bring the fish in to release it. Then it was 1 hour in an aluminum boat back to the dock. Never again. Lightening was striking all around us I could feel it. Scary. At least you caught some huge cats and spotted bass. It's never a bad day fishing. That spot is sick! Subscribed.

[@Chaedron1]

That is a cool spot! Apparently it used to be a boat lock, great video. Too bad you didn't get the target species, but those are some nice catfish.

[@GDSMedia27]

I’ve been fishing for lake sturgeon. Used a lot of big nightcrawlers on a circle hook. We never had to wait long for bites. Also here’s a tip that could be useful, while a catfish will but a real bend in the rod, the sturgeon bites were always very subtle and gentle. Even a 35lbs fish would gently tap the line so I had to hold my finger on the line so I wouldn’t miss a bite

Also saw an Aussie guy called Dennis fight and successfully land a 130lb Giant Mekong Cat, he uses a special harness as he only has one arm and I had to watch in admiration as he managed to get in the net a species that destroyed me later in the day

The wiki page shows the lake sturgeon as wanting different bait. That might help getting one to bite. Those catfish you caught were nice.
