Fall Catfish #1, River Fishing Huge Flathead And Blue Cats, Plus Gar

[@lilesmw]

Love your catch and cooks!

[@brandonjustes947]

Two things I laughed out loud about: 1. When that gar turned on you. 2. When the guy threw his cast night out and it didn't open AT ALL. Awesome video! Can't wait to see more!

[@drw5252]

Great video

[@chipwhackerman7087]

It is, but in some areas there are lots of snags, I just got back from their awhile ago with a few catfish myself. ..

[@BiPolarBoy1]

That river is full of those size flatheads and bigger. Giving that fish to the kid wouldn't hurt the population 1 bit.

[@froggleggers1805]

Nice. LOL that Gar wanted some of you.

[@samuelbayse3010]

you make great videos man.

[@MHoodFishing]

Thank you.

[@redred3144]

M. Hood Fishing make sure to get the scale off the hook

[@boi_boifortnite7139]

[@Rat-ret]

Great video. Good size fish. You should do a bowfin day.

[@RichBinell]

That gar is an amazing prehistoric fish. Nothing mamby-pamby about using caution when the SOB has teeth like that. Good work releasing the fish.

[@kfox79]

The bigger the flathead the better they taste and opposite goes for blue cat smaller the better

[@chipwhackerman7087]

I just came back from that exact spot with a couple of nice blue catfish I didn't know that about flatheads, thanks for the info

[@countrygirlfishing]

For all the hard work you put in this summer and got skunked , you sure did make up for it !!!! Good job and great catches !!! ^5 you deserve it

[@joshuajones7065]

He was homeless u should gave him the fish never forget where u come from u could have blessed him it was his choice

[@dididjsnebdjdudsksjskksjss2146]

Big fish like that especially out of the Mississippi gonna do zero good for him besides maybe a stay in the hospital from the containment's

[@scottodonahoe9505]

Flathead fillets are my second favorite pink meat !

[@johnharkins4830]

The big ugly one "shovelhead" you done right by letting that old dude go maybe you should have given the homeless guy one of the blues you caught ? 😉💯💪👊

[@RustyNail5856]

that place really looks nice.

[@stevehogan8829]

ah, see what happens... I spoke before watching,,, nice looking couple of cats.

[@landryj1k]

We had fun in delecroix yesterday. Took home 15 trout and a nice 22inch red. That's about all I want to clean! Nice catfishin man.

[@hunterwatkins3711]

great video man. Your my favorite fishing youtuber

[@RDGREPTILES]

cool video and nice catfish

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey M. Hood. I've seen you do some catch and cooks but not really on catfish... have I just missed those vids or do you tend to end fewer catfish than others? Just curious. Really enjoy your vids. Catching up with some vids I missed earler. Get to go surf fishing tomorrow at the beach finally. Hope it goes well. Thanks. Nice Alligator Gar. Looks like he may have swallowed,,,,nope, easy peasy and an exciting release. Cool.

[@littlemanoo]

My favorite show!

[@stuwelsh6339]

you handled that guy begging, way better than I would of, haha. nice fish man

[@SuperHank777]

That's s nice flattie!

[@SuperHank777]

Awesome job releasing that flattie!! I have eaten flatheads in the past but always let them go now.

[@fearm424]

Any tips on fishing the muddy rivers Ohio and muskingnum? Bait/Location/etc?

[@MHoodFishing]

I've never fished there.

[@dthemetalleprechaun7970]

The Muskingdom is wonderful for flatheads though I personaly wouldn't eat em, there's a couple good spots right around zanesville and you can hit the licking river as well from near the Y bridge, live bluegill and larger shad work great but when all else fails cut the shad and cast to the nearest structure

[@lajackabill]

Can you do a Sac a lait catch and cook

[@petesampson4273]

If you ever run into someone who really wants a fish to eat and you don't want to kill the fish in hand? Offer the leftover bait. I've actually done it a few times and everyone leaves happy. And, out of the Mississippi, a 30lb cat is no treat. In addition to tasting like mud it would hold a hefty dose of various chemicals as well. I don't really eat enough fish to worry too much about contaminants but for catfish I only really like them under about 14-16inches. Where I do most of my catfishing I generally get about a dozen little ones for every one over 5lbs. (This is in Minnesota where they grow slower.) or so so collecting enough for a meal is rarely a problem.

[@dylansizemore2587]

was he smoking a joint around 13 min and 40 seconds ?? lol nice fish by the way

[@Lone_Star_Outdoors]

I'm here 4 years later wondering the exact same thing, it must have been a rollie or a joint lol

[@theroadjack3437]

dp you set the hook with kahl hooks or reel it like a circle hook???

[@angryangler2850]

i use trokar king kahles 9/0s and I always set them best hooks I've used for flatheads

[@basskiller5865]

Nice flat it always good to a big one go swiming away

[@itsRufus]

What a nice fish

[@anajay78]

How does the Shakespeare gear hold up?

[@MHoodFishing]

The rods are ok. The reels with all metal parts are ok yet there are some with plastic parts that suck.

[@SproozGooz]

wow, those were some giants

[@Capt_Billy]

Ohh yea its that time a year! I've managed to catch multiple big cats the last few weekends!

[@nate03kahn46]

Hey just a lit isle tip when hooking cut bait or live bait always remove the scales from the hook point it could cause missed fish

[@mattdixon2763]

The sob story beggar crap was annoying. Good on you for not falling for it.

[@vonvomit5666]

When you started to mess with the gill plates I thought that you might have hit his gills. But you didn't. Nice flathead!

[@dareptile2653]

Do you take in people wanting to join you? Seems fun and you seem cool to me. I'd really like to catch some crabs.

[@robertmount1379]

I'm glad you let the big one go...

[@jkv2744]

Where are you fishing at in this video??

[@Brendan_O]

I would also say that a fish that big is a good breeder size, especially if it was a female.

[@lorinhillery]

What state are you in? Do you ever come into Arksnsas?

[@PokemanTrucker]

That is an awsome bait alram! What kind is it???

[@josephhoag3910]

Hey hood we're is that area about I stay in New Orleans n I been tryin to get me some nice cats I went fishing today on highway 1 and caught 3specks n a nice flounder but I'm tryin to get a freezer full of cats can u give me some advice on river hot spots I'd appreciate it

[@Toddwoods532]

whats the length of that rod please?

[@angryangler2850]

nice flathead bro congrats

[@SuperHank777]

I've never known cats to roll on top, only carp

[@MHoodFishing]

They do it at sun rise and sun set a lot. We call it boiling.

[@josephhoag3910]

[@MHoodFishing]

BFS

[@outdoorsman5533]

Great video where do you live

[@ChattCats]

Nice job!

[@VearonTheOwl]

M. Hood Fishing i have a challenge for you. Catch a fish with a pickle.

[@robertmount1379]

You had a scale on the tip of your hook. Gotta clean them off

[@marklong2528]

I tried live bait a few times trying to catch trout and they seem to like fake lures

[@philliprader3778]

on the live bait when you put the hook threw you didn't clean the scales of the tip so that's more than likely why you missed that run

[@catfishtales2844]

Nice!

[@stickyrice537]

You been eating too much cat..

[@jessiegarcia8465]

Always release big cat fish they have to breed ,

[@robertwarren4706]

do a catch clean and cook

[@danielwalston9666]

Doing good there my friend! I have a simple recipe for that big op if you want me to send it to you!

[@user-jq5rn5pn5z]

Thar was a fish that I got it was small I was swing it around a catfish jumped to get it and thar was a catfish I named boby yep he took the bobber 😅

[@joedirtblah301]

Was u smoking a joint man💨😜😈🌳💯

[@THEBLACKANARCHIST]

dont set the hook on circle hook rookies

[@hookedonbassncats]

Khale hooks are the worst designed hooks ever made. There pointless. Looked like you left a scale on the point of the hook. Luckily you still hooked up.

[@soloaquatics]

I need some cat in my freezer also. I'd love for you to take me fishing in the river!! m. Hood

[@Toddwoods532]

never mind thank you subbed

[@Rebelution-nk5mp]

You left a scale on your hook

[@Capt_Billy]

2:20 he did!

[@pescaconchuchin4277]

I subscribe to your channel I hope you do the same thing in that part of the country you are a good channel.

[@wiltondemuth6973]

you kept the wrong fish flat head cats never get to big to eat those blues are almost to big they get oily and fatty 80 lb flathead is as good as a 2 lb flathead

[@chipwhackerman7087]

I didn't know that, thanks, I just got back from that exact spot with a few blue catfish, I am glad to know that thanks

[@noonereally5926]

Wow, here you’re talking about needing fish in your freezer “like so many other people in the south “and you turned away a homeless man when he all but begged for that catfish. I have one word for you sir , Unsubscribe.

[@Thedave2224]

give a man a fish he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish he will eat for a life time. those fish take years to get that big and should be let go so they can spawn and make more so people can catch them for years to come. eat the little ones and let the big mature ones go.

[@chipwhackerman7087]

I just got back from that spot and if I was catching them and some one said that they were hungry I would not have the heart to turn them down. .. I caught a couple of nice ones there today Depending on the water level there are spots that will snag you consistently. ..

[@bouncinbobberz5722]

Dude wasn't homeless he was just trying to get a free fish. I've Met many people like that.

[@andrewsaldivar2112]

A flathead like that deserves to swim away... nice fish man.

[@dustinbudd8135]

When I catch a gar I kill it because they just eat the other fish

[@stuwelsh6339]

Dustin Budd so do the Catfish. it's the circle of life buddy

[@chipwhackerman7087]

We kill fish and eat them too
