Catching GIANTS Under A Bridge!! (Catch and Cook)

It wasn't where I wanted to spend the night, but was where I ended up. Fortunately, there were some monsters under there, and I even caught a few!

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

I've been doing that same exact type fishing since I was oh about 14 yrs old and was allowed to go camp by the river about a 1/2 mile from our home. During high water the river would wash out sharp tall dirt bank curves so Farmers started dumping old Car Bodies over the bank to stop the erosion, most of these old cars were wrecked so badly they hardly had a 2foot square that wasn't smashed up, anyway this method of stopping erosion was very popular back in the day and there were no less than 4 such places in a one mile stretch of the river, of course this provided EXCELLENT COVER and ambush spots for big cats and for their fry to hatch and grow in a protected environment. I'm sure you can see that fishing around the old wrecks was a real hot spot to catch some seriously nice Flatheads and Big Channel Cats.....I would take my Coon Hound with me and my little tent in case it came up a rain. I used mainly Fresh Cut River Bank Cut Willows for rods and nylon Trot line string with big rusty nuts or bolts for sinkers but used store bought Salt Water Hooks about the size you show in the video...they were so very sharp and tougher than hell...plain hooks like the old Eagle Claw would get straightened out some times before we could get to them so I just stayed with the Salt Water Hooks. Me and th he Hound would set up about 6 poles (3 above and 3 below) the corner filled with cars and as soon as it got Dark I would send my Hound out to find a Coon to run an tree and that's how we spent our summer vacations from school. I would check poles every 30 min till around 3 am then every hour till after sun up. My hound and I had more fun catching Catfish (that always went home with us) and Treeing Raccoons all night then sleep and lay around all day till night time and start all over again....it was a great childhood. TOM SAWYER or HUCK FINN had nothing on me that's for sure and certain.

[@davedoessomestuff8176]

That's an awesome childhood. Thanks for sharing.

[@gunfish444]

Hi, Good job, Great Vid. Eye's welled in tears as I watched this, for that was my father and me some 59 years ago. Dad had a boat and moter but many a Saturday summer night we spent under the stars and under a bridge. Two rods out with cut bait, corn, shrimp or livers just to catch anything for me to fight and reel in. He would throw lures and jig and minnow to catch Walleyes, Pike or Bass. That were quickly filleted, egged, breadcrumbs, cast iron and hot oil. At 6 years of age my palate had yet come to delight in freshly caught Walleye and Pike. So it was the old hot dog on a stick under the bridge in my sleeping bag next to the fire. Thank You for bringing me back in time for some very special memories.

[@RiverCertified]

That is an excellent story sir. I really appreciate you taking the time to share it.

[@gunfish444]

@@RiverCertified Sir? Just UnclePete. I'm one of those people. Not too much into Cats more of a Muskie dude for over 40years. But I don't care what it is Big Fish are cool. Spent 3 weeks in Jamaica many moon ago and spent the cash a went salt water fishing for a day. Medium light tackle for saltwater and just slated the Dolphin. Ice cold Red Strip a 46ft Bertram that I got to drive balls out from the tuna tower. He just told me Have gun and look for any kind of shit floating in the ocean. Small fish will sit underneath any kind of wood with weed attached to it. And the Dolphin just bunch up eating them. Caught 12. only 3 Bulls. Big was 67" Big Fish Are Cool. Have Healthy, Safe and Fun Year. Peace Out, UnclePete

Sike, he's most likely in Iowa. I've only seen a handful of his videos in other states and usually it's south. And I'm almost certain there's not any flathead that size in the whole state of Washington. They just don't get that big northwest.

[@monmixer]

14 to 20 inches, they be good. I attract raccoons when I start cooking. sometime they just sit behind me and wait for a little one. I toss it to them. then run down the bank. You hear some serious bone crunching off and on for 15 or 20 minutes. then they come back for another.
