[@DieterMelhorn]

It's not that expensive.....LOL!! Go to my website and check out my guide trip rates....there is a link in the description....most of all THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

[@BoxVanMan]

The best catfish content on YT!

[@DieterMelhorn]

Thank you!! That is my goal.,,,

[@InbredJed82060]

Thank you so much Mr Dieter! After becoming permanently injured, I wanted to pick up a low physical hobby. I didnt about know anything about cat fishing. Through your videos, ive gained a great deal of knowledge and picked up a hobby which I can't get enough of. Im much happier and i have something to look forward to in the evenings. God bless you sir. Thank you for being such an awesome guy

[@FRGGuideservice]

Keep pushing man glad you found fishing.

[@InbredJed82060]

@FRGGuideservice thanks friend. The amount of technology today is really a game changer, too. Like the apps that show you fishing spots. What a world we are living in.

[@pedrocruz4710]

Great info Dieter! Thanks man

[@tyronne1987ify]

Wish you would come fish down here in Alabama at Lake Eufaula in Eufaula! I’d love to learn how to fish in my area!

[@kiddtwist5036]

Just wondering if you could do a few videos on bank fishing for cats im disabled and on a fixed income so all i can afford is fishing from the bank

[@stevehogan8829]

Get out and fish when you can is the tip for the Decade. Thanks Dieter. I'll be up your way in another few days. Hope to get our somewhere , Ohio River, ,Dale Hollow, who knows. I'll get out when I get the chance.

[@Yelladog78]

You're either going to have to catch them early or late coming from or going to feed grounds or catch them on their beds - just like big whitetail bucks outside of the rut

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Suspending baits in the wood and other heavy structure works for me. No fish in 10 min move your bait. Front, side and back of the "pile" 10 min each section then move to the next spot!

[@want2boutdoors274]

Mark you're just the flathead guru, in my eyes.. always putting in that work..

[@CatfishandCrappie]

@@want2boutdoors274 Nah I just share what I have learned! THX ;)

[@russbrown6453]

Love flatheads. Prehistoric fish! Biologists are young with "college degrees"

[@want2boutdoors274]

Great video Mr. Dieter, always a great video when you cam learn to get some flatties or catfish in general during the day.

[@fatfreddyscat5173]

Thanks much for another great instructional vid! Always an enjoyable presentation.. d:^)

[@takedowncatfishing]

Another great video Dieter. 💪👊

[@DieterMelhorn]

Thank you and THANKS watching!!!

[@Rippinlips513]

I’ve been catching them on live bluegills lately

[@jrodholverson966]

What kind of boat are you using

[@RiverRat3030]

I enjoy your videos bro I learned a lot from you my friend 🙏

[@DieterMelhorn]

Much appreciated!!

[@williammason9789]

Something strange going on. First 7 minutes weren't Dieter! Some kind of music. I've actually caught a smaller flathead than that first on. It had to have been from the spawn last year. It was caught last year. About the size of my pinky finger. Tiny little dude. Yes, I released him.

[@DieterMelhorn]

It's harder to catch a small one than a giant one!!! LOL!!

[@williammason9789]

@@DieterMelhorn Actually, I catch a tiny one like that almost every year. 😀

[@dondig2617]

Great video as always. I've never caught a flathead I'm 68 and actually just started fishing 3 years ago. I have a jon boat someone gave me no sonar but I have a depth map of Lake O' the Pines. So how deep are you talking about I don't do night fishing? Thank you for your reply and helping me learn to cat fish.

[@DieterMelhorn]

You’re only 68….you got time time stuck a pig of a Flathead!!

[@1320MotorWorks]

They taste so good though!!!!

[@rodcrissup694]

I was doing a little day time cat fishing and lost my abu garcia 6500 pulled in before I could get it in my rod holder can't afford a new one so I guess a stick and string will work. Can i get someone not on disability to send me another one I loved that reel it was a great reel please help

[@adamperry6928]

What u using for bait?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Bluegill and white perch

[@shaneroberts9264]

Trolling crankbaits for daytime flatheads, is the only way I fish for Flatheads.

[@bennelson5076]

trolling for flatheads, with what rig?
