Castnet Catfood and Zip-Ties for Huge Shrimp!

Cast net, Cat food and Zip-ties are all we needed to catch these massive Shrimp. I was invited by my good friend Joey Antonelli to help wrangle up some jumbo sized white Shrimps on this video. We had heard stories of catfood working great as chum for this species of Shrimp so we decided to try it out and we were very surprised by what we found out!

Yes good eye! That's my cut through from I95 to sebastian. Thank you! 🙏

[@chazzicili3244]

Those were some giants, awesome vid!

[@CaptMattBudd]

Yes I was pleasantly surprised by how big some of them were. Lobsters!

[@antwonstarr]

I hit the like button right after he said "1 throw of shrimp right there" and then showed the catch !!

[@kevinoreilly5568]

I loved cast netting for shrimps or any bait in the gulf. Love big throws. Threw near a cleaning station one time and caught a baby thresher shark, about 11 inches long.

[@sirsimms3465]

Same =]

[@moonpiespotlight4759]

Wait till you get a net full of baby hardhead catfish.. net ruined because they have barbed fins and are almost impossible to get out. Not fun.

[@QuicksilverdotFX]

​@@moonpiespotlight4759that's not ever bad man. Try catching saw fish. They literally rip your net apart before you bring the net on land. Catfish stuff is frustrating for sure not nothing like "nearly impossible".

[@banjobear3867]

Am I the only one that had a huge sigh of relief when he finally dumped the shrimp onto the ice?

[@CaptMattBudd]

Shrimp stay alive surprisingly long out of the water. As long as they're damp they'll still be alive.

[@JS-zb1vv]

Looks so good

[@CaptMattBudd]

👍

[@jabraxxus]

Come to Pamlico Sound in NC. They get even bigger. We refer to large white shrimp as GREENTAILS!!! Everyone waits for them to show up. I really like your fix with the zip tie. PURE GENIUS!!!!

[@CaptMattBudd]

Sounds like fun!

[@treashurehunter800]

Nothing like dip netting at night.what a mood setting thing.like your own aquarium.

[@CaptMattBudd]

I agree!

[@stormbringer78]

We catch em on bait here in SC...it's hard work but fun!

[@davem145mxr]

I miss the Cozy Kitten Cat food, best chum ever

[@Howardhandupme]

I throw cast net to get shad for cut bait to catch catfish. One time my 5ft net, I pulled about 150 4in shad. It was so many I couldn't get into boat. But I had bait for days

[@baylonaj]

Make stock out of the shells for soup. Yum!

That bird made quick work of that fish there

[@bloodOntheStep]

Idk how to catch them but when I peel em I like the tail on and I’ll get my finger and scratch the whole underneath starting at the tail going to the front and that breaks the whole bottom part of the shell the I just unwrap it

[@gunnerwaldmann6337]

We catch some time 1-2# each throw of shrimp here in SW LA. in the marsh. I seen when they runnin.. 2-3# a throw..

[@CaptMattBudd]

[@cperrodin]

Great video. just subscribe what months seem to be most productive.

[@kennethtrevathan2045]

I am wondering where you are at! I live in SC, and we catch the same kind/color shrimp here and we call those white diamonds.

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

Are those prawns? When do they curl before eating?

[@joewright3727]

When you tie the catfood can to the float..is the can on the bottom of the water? Or the can near the surface?

[@jaytua730]

the exotic was a cuttlefish. Good eating!

[@CaptMattBudd]

We never ended up using it for bait. He deserved freedom!

[@riverakers]

Incredible! In Va we are seeing the same species where we have never seen them before. Same size but in the fall,by winter they thin out. Location?Indian River?Near Sebastian?

[@CaptMattBudd]

That's awesome. Yea I was in the Indian river

So lucky ass!!! I'm trying to find out where in texas I can do this. Literally no videos here... wonder if u actually can here...

[@TheCoon1975]

Yes, you can get shrimp like this here on Copano Bay around Rockport. Right now in the fall is the best time to get the big ones.

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

What kind of cat food flavor do you find works best?

[@CaptMattBudd]

I think they would all work. Probably because they stink so bad! 🤣

[@ncoutdooradventures6148]

Capt. Matt Budd oh, ok. I thought maybe one of the seafood types might work better but didn't know. I'll have to try that next time I'm getting bait. Thanks

I mean shrimp are just big bugs when you think about it, the cat food is probably the most appetizing thing those shrimps have ever eaten. They mostly survive by eating fish poop.

Did I miss the part where you did the right thing and retrieved the can of cat food and the line and bobber, or did you just say "fuck it" and leave it, further polluting our precious environment? But, hey, you slayed the shrimps, that's all that matters to you guys, huh?

Since it'll make you feel better I'll let you know that after letting it chum for us for a while we pulled it up. Didn't think I needed to include that part the video or I'd be attacked by someone. Nothing quite like accusing people of being careless, terrible people though. 🤙
