CRAZY Catfishing Action From the Bank!! (Frozen vs Fresh Challenge)

This was the most ridiculous trip I've had targeting catfish! We caught more fish in an hour and a half as I've had the pleasure of experiencing. Everything lined up. Weather, location, and time of year. We also found out if fresh bait or frozen bait matters when the fish are fired up like they were. We could barely keep our rods in the water!

[@garythatcher90]

A cubs fan, OMG

[@EmbracetheQuestion]

Hey Spencer, do you have any vids yet showing how you fillet these cats? You seem to make quick work of it when you do it. Thanks!

[@cbreezy2020]

Can’t wait to see some 2021 flattys

[@RiverCertified]

That makes two of us!

[@darrend13131]

Sam deserves a regular voice on the podcast

[@RiverCertified]

I'll pitch it to him. You won't hear me argue that

[@Gqburnside007]

What's the best bait for catfish your option

[@ron2893]

Mom was good luck for you , congrats and best wishes to her today

[@RiverCertified]

She usually is. Same to you dude!

[@concaveeruption8266]

Omg. one after another. You found a good spot .

[@RiverCertified]

It was definitely our lucky day!

[@ryanharrod1155]

Slayed um.

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir.

[@mikecha1957]

Nice little competition. Fresh is good but frozen works in a pinch.

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you sir. It's fun to mix it up. Gotta agree!

[@markmiller8137]

this boy is one badass fisherman,reminds me of myself when i was young..

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Looked like a great time! That's for sharing.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for watching!

[@drow8569]

this was fun to watch! hope to get in to them like this my next time out👍

[@RiverCertified]

I hope ya do too man!

[@angelasheppard7197]

So whats a good temp for catfish to swarm like this? And is it different for each species? Thanks for sharing

[@tylerallen1671]

Yee yee

[@joshpearce9864]

Fresh is so clean clean

[@RiverCertified]

Haha I reckon it is

Great video man can’t wait for another one!

Glad ya got a kick outta it!

What made you pick this part of the water? Is this a lake or river?

[@kendimizekadarbalk]

Good job👌

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man!

[@leroyjantz9717]

Wish I could get it to them like that here in colorado

[@jessicadaletski8305]

Taking a break from work on “Happy Fathers Day “, yeah so..........can’t listen and think at same time........so uh........FISHIN AND PEEIN WITH U!!!

[@markdishmon681]

That's a good day of fishing.. thanks Sir Rat great video.

[@RiverCertified]

I couldn't ask for a better one. Take care sir.

[@halibuthooliganinc1058]

Fresh always wins unless its a bunch of bullheads then its just on

[@RiverCertified]

Accurate haha

[@chuckstith838]

Bullheads are live bait

[@TheArby13]

I remember an occasion that the fish were biting so fast I had to hide behind a tree to bait the hook. I don't see any trees. How does that happen? 🤔

[@waterratlyle2590]

Great video sir. Looks like a BLAST for sure!

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir, glad you enjoyed it!

[@nitramza861]

At my local lakes in Central/SE Ohio, I don't have much luck on frozen shad for channels. The bullheads seem to love it. Frozen bluegill is my go to for channels.

[@RiverCertified]

As long as you're catching fish man, that's all that matters!

[@gunner5050]

There's nothing like catching catfish and talking to mom at the same time! Lol!

[@RiverCertified]

I think she's good luck haha

[@jefflance3648]

Spencer that looked like a lot of fun !! Great video,keep them coming!!

[@RiverCertified]

So much fun! Glad you like em!

[@chuckstith838]

Pound for pound Sam has you beat.

[@RiverCertified]

Without a doubt haha

[@nmangling]

Love the competitive fishing! Makes it that much funner! Great video bud 👍

[@RiverCertified]

They're definitely a nice change of pace. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shartshow]

Great video. Love the days when the bite is 🔥

[@RiverCertified]

That makes two of us haha

[@thecripple69]

awesome man non stop action.

[@RiverCertified]

It was the best action I've had on cats in a long time, if not ever.

[@thecripple69]

@@RiverCertified that's awesome man two years ago we had a day like that ice fishing for pike we caught over 20 and about 10 over of them were 15 pounds or better 2 were 25 plus best day ever

[@RiverCertified]

@@thecripple69 that would be burned in my memory bank forever

[@stephenvanorsdale7294]

This video just confirmed what I always thought. Fresh bait always. Only use frozen in a pinch

[@RiverCertified]

I'm a fan myself!

[@todd2426]

I recently started fishing for cats and can't find them to save my life but you pull that many out in no time.

[@RiverCertified]

I'm just lucky haha

[@todd2426]

Those little details escape me at times haha. Glad you enjoy them!

It's a blast when they're biting like that. Was that a lake or a river?

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir. It was a lake.

[@charleslong7843]

Where you guys fishing at just wondering am in midwest

[@RileyReneau]

Sams Voice reminds me of Merlin Olsens.

[@RiverCertified]

I'll have to tell him that

[@bradbex9051]

Awesome action like always buddy. Those channels were on fire.

[@RiverCertified]

Much appreciated. It was too much fun.

[@thewhiskertamer]

Awesome day of fishing!!!

[@RiverCertified]

I had a blast!

[@derekporter4119]

I’m from Des Moines iowa and trying catch striper on the desmoine River where’s the best place to find them at in the river

[@timduke4616]

Below Scott st all the way down as far as you want to go or even center st dam can do good👍

[@briansuttles6743]

great video, lots of action. a trip like that you don't forget for a long time. friends and fun top notch. stay safe.

[@RiverCertified]

They're the types of action I dream about, at least for channel cats. You do the same sir.

[@juanRodriguez-zp6et]

Nice where you catching all these catfish at I live in Texas

[@timshoff4593]

Who is hitting the thumbs down button? Most definitely someone who doesn’t like catching fish. Great day. Good job

[@jennifermitchell2191]

I don't usually comment...but...did a giant spider run across your foot at 11:11??😮 Also, love watching the fishing 🎣 ❤

[@RiverCertified]

Possibly. Thanks for watching!

Riverstacherat

[@randall517]

Had a day like this once in upstate NY. We caught over 30 channels between the 3 of us in about a 2 hour span. Only reason we stopped was because we ran outa bait. Such an awesome day.

[@RiverCertified]

That is awesome!

[@crosscountryliving710]

Hope you catch a GIANT!!! huge fan. Keep it up✌️

[@RiverCertified]

Hope you do the same!

[@franklukas4527]

Great video, are you in Illinois?

[@migogang7498]

Man that's what you call a successful day on the job😂.... Great content man

[@RiverCertified]

Dude, it was almost too much fun. Almost.

[@michaelgingerich8250]

Fresh or frozen. Doesn’t matter as long as your catching fish. 😎.

[@RiverCertified]

I can't argue with that logic!

[@MikeTatman]

Great video. Are those wire rod holder you use all the time home made or commercially available? I would love to try them. I have some that I built but they are heavy and bulky when having to hoof it.

[@RiverCertified]

They're home made. I'm trying to find a way to sell them. We will see.

[@MikeTatman]

@@RiverCertified thanks bud for the reply. Keep the awesome content coming! I love it

[@stevenknowlton6045]

Bro! That was a Channel Cat crushing session. Awesome video!

[@RiverCertified]

Couldn't ask for anymore than that. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tackle2thePeople]

Super cool vid - casting into the vid must have been tough! Glad y'all still were able to slay em

[@RiverCertified]

Its not too bad. I've had lots of practice haha. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@johnmommens5952]

Wow! What a great day of fishing. Plus a good friend along. Life don't get much better.

[@RiverCertified]

Amen to that!

[@trevoranthem2573]

What size poles are you using?? I have the 9 1/2 rode, I just think that’s overkill for channel .

[@RiverCertified]

Those are the new catfish and carp ones. The 9'6" MH are solid channel cat rods when you need your line up high, at least imo.

[@Tristen2134]

what lake are you fishing in?

[@tylersumners7770]

Hey Spencer I've got a bait question for you, if I'm unable to get nice sized bait for flats but I have plenty of 1 1/2- 2 inch baits is it a bad idea to put 2 of them on a hook?

[@RiverCertified]

It's always good to mix it up. Elephants eat peanuts sometimes

[@lew-e]

reminds me of the pond we used to fish out of with my grandpa. Except we'd keep them all then spend a couple hours cleaning them for an evening fish fry. Damn good times. Awesome day of fishing man!

[@spudsmccatfish]

Epic day! I’ll take fresh over frozen any day but I have seen it work the other way on occasion.👍👍

[@RiverCertified]

Gotta agree on both sir

[@eanderson2378]

I like the challenge videos.

[@RiverCertified]

I'll keep that in mind!

[@ZeroFksGvn]

Damn good video bro! I haven’t had a day like that in forever, hopefully this year. 🤙🏻

[@RiverCertified]

I hope you have a better one!

[@larryoliver9915]

U guys caught some fish the bite just came on coming and coming 👍👍👍

[@RiverCertified]

Like nothing I've seen in a long time. Thanks for watching!

[@daron1967]

Wow. What a hot bite! What river were u at?

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Like a reverse Energizer Bunny 🐰

[@richardstellings5143]

Spencer I had a day like this a couple of weeks ago I couldn't put a rod in the holder and I was getting bit it was nuts they were all Lil guys the biggest one was 26"

[@RiverCertified]

Sounds like a super fun day to me man! Happy for ya!

[@user-ql2on8bz7d]

Never seen a cat fish with chicken skin

[@RiverCertified]

First time for everything I reckon

[@MsKindaSorta]

Your feet were wet the entire time?!!! Wow

[@RiverCertified]

They're water shoes. Still comfy when they get soggy.

[@Gold3nOwlz]

Crazy Sam makes them 40lbs look like 8lbs when he holds them lol
