Unexpected Catch Trapping Creek Monsters!

[@jamesmckay2134]

There's just something about these short creek vids that are just peaceful and fun to watch. Thank you Daniel and Houston for the quick content even if it's 10,15, or 30 minutes worth. I look forward to each one. God Bless y'all Arms Family!

[@jamesshaw3230]

Yea reminds me of being a kiddo back in tha day. Love those creeks.

[@unspoken_vic2783]

I never get tired of y’all posting thh

[@sharonharris7245]

Houston is my favorite KZbinr ever! I tune in to see him with his big personality and his youthful zest for life with Dad! He is really going to do well! I hope he keeps up with KZbin because we love him & want to see where this goes!

[@pattyshannon6475]

Such a beautiful creek. Love the boys enthusiasm.

[@delanomiller]

Daniel you're making great memories with Houston and his friends! Great job you and BJ are growing raising your children!

[@wykeishacraft6820]

Good Evening to Arms Family Homestead and all others too. Great to see family and friends out enjoying themselves. Enjoy and stay safe.😄😄 Looks Fun Houston

[@BillyRoberts]

I used bacon, string, and a small rock to fish for craw dads. I was in grade school. Tell Houston I would have loved to have a dad like his.

[@willowsverge3046]

Hershey kisses are a LOT different at our house!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 So happy to see the classic “hay/hey” joke still gets used! Dad had us competing to scream hay first on every ride to town, until mom made us all knock it off before her brain exploded! Lol🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@wendyh3891]

Oh my gosh I wish I had grown up with beautiful ponds like that I would have been a happy as a pig in mud! Smile Houston you are so blessed! You will catch lots next time. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦

[@jonathancraft549]

Lol!!! Houston needs to smile. It happens you don’t always catch what your expecting. Throw him in the pond get him to laugh.

[@oldben6086]

Think that shirt on Houston’s friend was just great! Don’t go ragging’ on my Sooners! 😜 Another great video of Creek Life! Buck up, Houston! Not every adventure ends with success! Maybe it was the jalapeño in the sausage keeping them mud bugs away! 🤣

[@Carson122]

Love y’all’s vids I have been watching for about 1 year now and I have been liking these vids and the pool pond vids hope y’all get to 100 mil one of these days keep up the great work

[@highlydriven9185]

Your property is amazing! You guys are living the good life 💪

[@joanlovelace6865]

HEY!! The look on Houstons face made me laugh!!😅😂😂

[@avidnapper]

I love watching your videos, I think I’ve watched all of them now, Houston is awesome and Emma lee is so pretty, I used to love playing in streams and rivers when I was younger and I can’t wait for my daughter to be old enough to do these things with, keep being you and making fun, family loving videos from the UK 🇬🇧

[@geterrdone9429]

Heck yeah, raise her up right!

[@janicereeser1965]

Really enjoying the creek and Houston's new pond videos. Houston sure enjoys the catch and cook but when there is nothing to cook I think he takes it personally because he does not want to dissapoint us. I am enjoying the hunt for them as you all try different ways to make it work...oceans of respect Houston from Florida 🌅☺

[@stevegraeff136]

Anytime you see a young father and child out in the outdoors exploring stuff new or old it's a good thing for a set of old eyes to see

[@daniellesduckheadhomestead3127]

Super fun!!! Keep up the good work raising those kids. So many memories being made.

[@brendagervais5566]

The joy of missing the crawdads-always the next time. And Earl has really grown- nice clip job

[@slk8322]

SO ENJOY YOUR FAMILY VIDEOS GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS 🙏🏻

[@jackiehorsley9263]

Cool video that was a nice fish that Houston,s friend caught

[@susanfrey7065]

Huston maybe next time we want to see that smile. Remember it's always in God's hand. God bless you from Michigan ❤

[@heidimarie1198]

Hey Houston - want to sound professional - if you have a person with you - do the anchorman introduce. Hi I'm Houston, this is Keaton and we are filming for Arms Family Homestead. This helps with persons new watching.

[@tylerdeen5061]

I hope he sees this

[@marylouise890]

A wonderful idea 💡

[@marylouise890]

But y’all did notice how much he has grown this summer so far. He’s much more mature. 👍☺️👍 It helps too that he has the Best of the Best Cameraman, On #KZbin 👍😊

[@sleeptreat1177]

Professional?? He’s like 7. You’ve got to be kidding…

[@marylouise890]

@@sleeptreat1177 he’s 8 👍 And #Houston Rocks! Bright future in from of this young man 👨 👍💙👍

[@gingerreid8569]

Awww, Houston...life is full of disappointments...you don't give up, you get up and go get 'em again!

[@wesleyhackney]

Love summer cause it means lots of creek videos. Don’t apologize just keep them coming

[@vmorganbogart]

We used to use bacon to catch crawdads, in the creek, when I was young. We had so much fun. The creek was in a city park across the street from my house. We spent a lot of time at & in that creek Blessings, Love & Hugs from Vicki in Ft. Worth, Texas 🇺🇸👍❤️🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sissysimpson792]

my grandkids love watching your videos

[@carolynmesser7199]

I like seeing video at the creek with the kids so wonderful to be raised there thx Daniel 💕🙏💕

[@jennifercaldwell4160]

Cheer up Houston! What a life you live with your mom and dad!!😎

[@gwenmilam3774]

Houston, cheer up please. U have a really great dad who goes to do all that great stuff. You have some great friends in Jacobi and Keaton. And you have that little metal pond that your dad has been helping you build. It is looking great, by the way.

[@janiefable]

Try raw bacon to catch crawdads, we use to tie a piece on string and put it down the holes, caught them every time.

[@gellben1456]

Salt pork worked for us as kids.

[@nancymontgomery8897]

We caught them with baloney on a string.

[@esthercruz9384]

My dad suggested using raw chicken skin or chunks of the raw fat to catch crawfish.

[@ljtlove4519]

I used to catch tons with raw liver.

[@annesels2028]

In the Netherlands they are an invasive species, we see kids at the boating piers use slices of lunchmeat pork to catch them off a pier…they would tie some line to clothespins which held the pork and ‚fish‘ for them…not really a trap but the crawdads seemed not to let go and went after that quickly.

[@steelerboy25]

Always love watching your videos! Welcome Keaton to the videos-your and Houston are awesome together! Nice catch Keaton!

[@JamesMoore-oy8jq]

Your blessed to relive your childhood while Raising a fine young boy

[@islandpalm3261]

I take my 6 year old and my 8 year old creek fishing 🎣 in the mornings . They love setting traps and creek fishing 🎣

[@schmarbinfamilychannel6959]

You guys need to do a crawl fish catch and cook at the creek!

[@fishngnana68]

I would love to be able to go on their farm, meet them and especially fishing their Creek

[@violadyck5006]

Jacobe is such a nice young man thanks for taking care of the turtle Houston

[@robertgrimley9077]

Try oily baits for crawdads like mackerel, seafood cat food, herring and anchovies. Need a good stinky bait. If the population is there you will catch them.

[@Pingaz420]

crawdads will eat anything

[@jcty87]

I agree

[@whats_herName]

I like the way Keaton releases the fish. To hit the water from a height is a jolt that don't feel good for humans so I imagine it don't feel so good to a fish. Good on ya Keaton for releasing fish gently.

[@greatlifemore879]

Move the traps try one a little deeper and one a little more shallow around rocks, crawdads sometimes hide under the rocky areas. I’m going to try to start putting up more videos in about a month on my channel. I just got really sick and was in the hospital with two collapsed lungs, pneumonia in both lungs, both kidneys infected so much I was in ICU.

[@joannepantale483]

I hope you're feeling better.

[@russellwatters5891]

Nice speck! That was totally unexpected. I'm sure that the crawdads will make their way back into the creek, predation from Houston and Earl have diminished their numbers...lol

[@krystalcampbell7749]

I enjoy watching y'all videos. They are much different than some other Videos, what I love the most is watching the kids be kid's. As for here in San Antonio Texas we like to use raw tortilla dough to catch our crawl fish maybe with a mix of some Big red soda,pop some even call it coke

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Daniel, I have always had great success catching crawfish with the catfish heads and stuff after a big fish cleaning. Crawdads like smelly stuff.

[@bicycledad7660]

That beautiful nature is your back yard ! I would be over joyed ! A win in my book !

[@viccimauldin2235]

Loving these creek videos!! And Houston's pond. Houston, it is okay to be disappointed. Love to all. Enjoying the summer with y'all. More videos on fishing would be good if y'all decide to do it. Maybe take Houston's new friend with you.

[@TM-iq6sx]

The bueaty you have at home. Cherished and protect . God's love.

[@panda18770]

That crappie sure looked like a small mouth bass. Crappie are usually more rounder. Either that or I need stronger glasses. Lol. Either way it was a nice fish. Great video.

[@kphuntingandfishing4337]

I think you need better glasses lol

[@annamarkham-roberts4304]

Huston and his smile just gets cuter... maybe you should get big crawdads out of back yard

[@ansleykinnamon4380]

Poor Houston! I'm sure he'll get back to normal soon. He does love a successful video. 😃

[@kansasjoe3450]

Seining shallow muddy ponds and ditches after hard rains. Try creek bridges with bacon on fishing poles.They will hold on bacon quite awhile , you have to swing them up fast. Best way for big ones.

[@earlshaner4441]

Hi from Syracuse NY brother and everyone else and thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures

[@keithsmart8437]

I like to use canned catfood for crawdads tuna would probably work good also although Ive never tried it but I bet bruanswager however u spell it would work good too

[@robertmalis4493]

Hey Daniel I think the bait they use in Louisiana it’s like a cubed type or a compressed type of bait I’ll see if I can’t find it and link it to you

[@b.visconti1765]

Love the cover picture!! Happy Summer!

[@karenspeer7378]

That was Fun!!! What a Beautiful Place!!! God Bless!! 😀👍❤

[@phyllisschlautman1375]

Raw bacon is the best bait for crawfish!!! Tie it in the nets with some string. Love the creek life!!!

[@rheasala1012]

Hay Daniel, a tip from one okie to another...Us 8 kids when we wanted to go crawdad huntin we would sneak into the kitchen a get a tater and peel it then the braver of us would sneak a piece of mama"s crochet thread and tie it real tight around that tater take it to the creek and when we found some rocks in shallow water we would lower that tater down between those rocks and with minutes a crawdad would shoot out from under a rock and latch unto that tater and the kid who had the other end of that thread would carefully lift it up out of the water...sometimes we"d get two crawdads on one tater. we all wanted to do it but didn"t dare take 8 tater"s.

[@odonnellsaussiehomestead8257]

Yes Huston is going to look back at his life with such fond memories thanks to u Daniel😁👍. I have such great respect for you Daniel👍😎 . One day love to stop by hand say hi ,if we ever get out of this covid 🤣

[@rhondabritt972]

Sorry no crawdads. It's nice to be able to try to catch though. Love your creek life. Hope ya'll are having a great evening. Love you guys.

[@kathylewis7543]

Thanks for sharing you guys try Jimmy Houston he had something about crawfish!!! Happy fishing!

[@sherryuhlenkott3417]

Raw chicken for crawdads, it's what we used here on the Oregon Coast

[@Jonigmickna]

Saw Houston yesterday on the Bass Masters Commercial!! 👏

[@patriciafleming8402]

Beautiful place to have on your property. Great for the kids!

[@carriegrosenick6426]

Houston, don't give up your going to get them. Love you guys. 🥰❤💖

[@lotusblssm3580]

Jimmy Houston realeased a lot crawdads in his pond/lake

[@ghostridertnt5229]

Hello I do crawdad trapping and I have some tips. Try fish like bait fish for example salmon, shad, or herring. But for salmon I would use the remains of the fish. Shad is supper oily so it is the best bait in my opinion. That will attract the crawdads fast. But I do worry since there are so many predatory fish in your creek that not a whole lot of crawdads get very big. Anyway good luck 👍. Love your videos!

[@giannavass731]

houston youre such a try hard but i love youre videos so i keep watching youre channel

[@phoenixrising3219]

I used a regular fish net (the ones from pet stores) and my hands to catch craw fish. I was always able to catch more that way then a trap.

[@christyrjurinadesigns]

Hey Keaton that's an awesome shirt just ask Jimmy Houston!!!! And good luck trappen creek monsters

[@SgtChaseScott]

My merch arrived at the house today. Y'all keep up the amazing videos.

[@daniellekish5107]

I love you vids I have been watching for about 2 3 years now

[@juliemelnychuk8162]

Keaton, good catch. Earl, got a hair cut..👍😊

[@edlintz]

When I was a boy my dad used liver for bait. We caught a ton of crayfish!

[@lindamaskus5142]

I'm not sure I've ever seen a boy so young who loves fishing as much as Houston doe.

[@nancymontgomery8897]

LOL, Earl got scalped! I can't believe how hard little Gemma has to run on those tiny legs to keep up with the rest of you. Houston, you didn't come away empty handed. You had a fun morning with Keaton, Dad and the pooches. You also caught a BIG turtle and learned that you might get some crappie in the future.

[@ryankimball6030]

What we use in Louisiana: Raw chicken wings or legs and beef liver works really well for crawfish. Those traps also might not be the best. The traps with the cotton netting and four wire supports are what we always use here in Louisiana. They look like pyramids kinda. You have to have a long bamboo pole with a stiff wire or long nail in the end bent like an L. Then you tie the beef liver/ chicken parts to the middle of the nets and let them sit for 20-30 minutes. Then pull them quickly from the water.

[@RollenTide85]

Here in Georgia we use cut bait and dice it up in small chunks. I usually put it in some stockings and let it hang from the top of the trap so the fish or mudbugs can't eat it up.

[@kimedmonson3134]

Use bag of frozen popcorn shrimp for crawdad bait. Works for catfish catching too!

[@traciek3946]

Poor Huston Better luck next time, You might have to do a catch clean and cook on somthing else until you get your crawdads (yabbies here in Oz) Hervey bay Queensland Australia

[@rhondawhite7028]

Love Keaton’s shirt. Boomer. Great video. Love the creek videos.

I have an Australian Shepard that pants like Bella drives me crazy too 😂😂😂😂

[@virginiacurrey2019]

Wow,,small mouth bass! Not much crawdads! Fun anyhow! Hope you haven’t lost the bass that was beginning to grow. Do you see any fish activity in the pond. We used to catch big crawdads with fat on the end of a pole in the bayou creeks in southeast TX.

[@carlbrindley5988]

Definitely need a bass fishing video!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@desireelivemore823]

Dad you can't control your kids emotions, he tired look under his eyes. I have 4kids and 5grandkids and you take them one day at a time. GOD doesn't tell you dad to smile you get a choice and free will. We accept the little one as he is. Love him reminds me of my son when he was little. He was kill it at 26yrs. So enjoy them dad as they are. GOD BLESS you you are an excellent father, but relax when he is being himself.

[@donnamcmanus7360]

Every outing is a learning experience 🙂 Was reading that some popular bait for crayfish is oily fish (herring, sunfish, shiners & fatty meat like chicken (maybe raw neck or back parts) or pork.

[@mr.konetchy7302]

I have never seen Houston so disappointed. Leave Keaton's shirt alone! (It's up to you to see that he is wearing your brand) Paul St Louis

Might be Daniel went to a different rival school?

[@roberttrains8696]

Hey Daniel and Houston and his friend so Houston caught a lobster hope you weather was great for you guys we had thunderstorms here in middle Tennessee the crappie was awesome if there is one there more.....Daniel you made laugh that little bulkhead was biting your finger that was funny so did you get the bass boat fix so what was in the trap any lobster in there more blue gills for the bass pond well good luck catching craw dad God Bless you guys Robert Guzman

[@markmarshall6434]

Use Lettuce chopped up in your traps. Start taking some Lettuce leaves down to where you will be putting your traps later and throw the leaves out there so that the crawdads will be use to them. I'm not a professional at this but I googled it and that's what it says. It sure wouldn't hurt. Good luck on your crawdad catch and cook. 👍

[@vanessafagan6883]

Wheres jocobi????? Nice vid man god bless everyones night!!!!

[@caitlynthornton4721]

I am a huge fisherman and I love your videos and your dogs I don’t have a dog but my grandma has 4 dogs

[@peggyrowe4354]

When I lived in Texas, the kids found crawdad holes in the mud. They wrapped bacon on a stick, and shoved it down into the hole, to get crawdads for fishing bait.

[@LindaPoorman]

Have you tried stink bait? The trappers in Louisiana use fish guts and such

[@meddler69]

Dead fish work the best for crawdads and leeches if you trap those there, dog food and bread work best for minnows, mainly because they float, I used to catch alot of bait for fishing here in Minnesota back when I was a kid

[@Sshellyd]

Y'all should make some Creek Life shorts!

[@nancymontgomery8897]

Great idea!

[@Boogercountybow]

At least Houston's friend is sporting an OU shirt which makes this video awesome!

[@alclements7876]

When I was younger we used to use a minnow sieng to catch crawdads and small minnows!
