Every time ccf uploads it's like Christmas morning

[@johnnydeal3961]

That was some great entertainment as always. Awesome challenge dude!

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Johnny!

[@GPTInDaHouse]

YESSSSSSS!!!!!! LOVE IT. 12:57 " Not a bad fish guys, probably about 7, 8 pounds." What are you talking about?! I haven't even caught a cat over 1 lb let alone any fish over 1.5lb. it's just my life

[@ChattCats]

Keep fishing and learning as you go! You will break that mark hopefully soon. Tight lines!

[@jsteger2009]

LOLZ great comedy when the pole went into the water

[@ChattCats]

That was intense, lol.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Holy cow! Awesome job dude! That was an awesome torture test for that outfit. Nice cat! Makes me want to order one to go with my Dock Demons! 👍🎣🐟

[@ChattCats]

That would be cool. Have fun and tight lines!

[@jeffjackson5331]

[@ChattCats]

Cool. Catching catfish on light tackle is always fun. Tight lines!

[@bstar0826]

Nice new trolling motor ! Where's the old one? I'm looking for one like the old one you had

[@jasonkirkland6211]

The way that drag was yelling I bout died laughing lmao😂😂😂

[@ChattCats]

Lol.

[@phdyoutubedegree1939]

its amazing how a fish can stay down when they have no appendages to grab anything down there. lol.

[@ChattCats]

Using that little micro rod really made me work to get that fish in, haha.

[@michaelfowler9750]

Looks like fun....i was just challenged using a Barbie pole fishing on ohio river. It was all fun til we hooked a 18lb carp. Got it in tho took forever. Good job, way to stick with it.

[@ChattCats]

18 lb carp on a barbie rod....nice job getting it done! That must of been super intense.

[@i-84grow.49]

you was on point about the lbs,,,congrats 30k...

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Juan!

[@Fins-Scales-and-Tales]

Wow! That looks like a ton of fun!!

[@ChattCats]

It was fun and crazy all at the same time!

[@adrianthebest3310]

Nice ! I have a couple and i like to grip it as if im casting instead of the back to give you more leverage and i put the cap on the back to make it longer and it feel reel nice i have no proble what so ever

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for watching!

[@cameronhall3200]

U are a great Cat fisherman I love to cat fish too but don't get as lucky as You Tho Keep it Up dude Love ur Vids

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Cameron! Tight lines man!

[@cameronhall3200]

+Chatt Cats Fishing Urwelcome Can I have a shout out plz in ur next vid

[@ReelCanadianFishing]

i bought one of those rods. doesn't it smell weird?

[@ChattCats]

Haha, I didn't smell it.

[@adventureguy4119]

I caught catfish on an ultra light what’s the difference

[@ChattCats]

Ultra light rods have WAY BETTER action than the micro pen rods!

[@scottgrizzle5879]

I'd like to see you do some carp fishing with hair rigs,often you will catch carp and nice catfish together, that would make a great video.

[@ChattCats]

Hey Scott! I do need some more carp fishing in my vids. I'll see what I can do. Tight lines man!

[@andrewtaylor4332]

What kind of boat do you have?

[@ChattCats]

[@natemcwilliams6881]

Great video

[@ChattCats]

Thanks!

[@BigCatRiverFishing]

Did someone get a new trolling motor? Great video man!

[@ChattCats]

Yep! I love it!

[@tracy1765]

Great video Joe, my husband has a pole like that, he hasn't used it yet , I bet he will now!!! LoL haVe an awesome day 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@ChattCats]

Lol. Awesome. It's fun.

[@randybryant9936]

wow great fight

[@ChattCats]

It was intense!

[@whitewaterjunkies7036]

Darn I was hopin I could see you out on the water

[@ChattCats]

I'll be out on the water more this Spring.

[@bigron8346]

I don't think those pen rods where intended to catch big catfish they basically are made for bass and panfish

[@bradenherren7364]

Lov yo vids

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Braden!

[@whitewaterjunkies7036]

Is this in Decatur alabama

[@ChattCats]

No. It's in Chattanooga, TN.

[@donnasaunders4220]

Is the cast good?

[@ChattCats]

Not really, haha.

[@geraldgoudeau]

Wow that's cool

[@dizzi9077]

good vid

[@ChattCats]

Thanks!

[@eldindudic8895]

I caught 2 catfish on the lady fish rod! she is one HECK of a woman! give that rod a whirl!

[@daltonhedrick8581]

Now just imagine spooling the reel up with some 25lb braid and catching a 25 or 30lber lol

[@ChattCats]

That would be quite the challenge. The parts on this rod/reel combo were super cheap. I was very surprised that an 8 lb blue pulled the reel out of the reel seat while it was in the rod holder. Crazy stuff!

[@daltonhedrick8581]

Chatt Cats Fishing heck yea, possibly new challenge in the future? Lol

[@cadebeasley3627]

Nice

[@ChattCats]

What's up Cade? Hope you enjoyed your three day weekend.

[@whitewaterjunkies7036]

If you want to meet up I have a pond that has 60 pounders in it

[@ChattCats]

Wow!!

[@jerrywillis6075]

We're only allowed 2 rods where I live

[@ChattCats]

That would drive me nuts.

[@bigron8346]

FYI they are called guides not eyes

[@TNRVG]

Cool

[@ChattCats]

It was super fun

[@yaboiiplayz125]

Bro your so cool

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for watching. Tight lines!

[@bgfishing4803]

you should try an actual legit pen rod from penfishingrods.com they are not made cheaply and have caught up to 23lb carp! nice video

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for the suggestion. Tight lines man!

[@aidanlau795]

Too expensive

[@anthonydipippo380]

@@aidanlau795 4 different pen fishing rod sizes & 10 different reels. Of course we're more expensive. =)

[@marklockwood2146]

Good torture test for a rod and reel I might not buy or trust

[@ChattCats]

Haha. I don't think this rod is made for big fish.

[@madmullet1990]

👍👍👍👍👍🎣awesome

[@ChattCats]

Thanks!

[@TwistedAutoGarage]

Nice video

[@brockblazier9885]

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Ernesto!

[@ChattCats]

Hey Brock! I typically use fish grippers when handling catfish.

[@brockblazier9885]

Chatt Cats Fishing oh sorry i wasnt talkin bout you i was talking about ernesto i thought that he was holding it by the line but after I looked at his profile pic again he was holding it attached to a stringer sorry

[@anthyaguirre2124]

[@ChattCats]

[@yangtse55]
