I caught a catfish one time that would fit in a Volkswagen

[@tonycardone990]

Every catfish I ever caught would fit in a Volkswagen. I even caught some that would fit in a Smart car, a school bus, a Boeing 747, and some that would fit on a motorcycle, or in a Radio Flyer red wagon.

[@mr.shadestrains6033]

Awsum 🙃

[@larryrussell5884]

@@tonycardone990 That is just shameless braggin' Tony. 😀

[@davehendricks4824]

I had a Volkswagen once. And if I put into it all the catfish I caught, there would still be room for 4 people!

[@Scott.Farkus]

@@davehendricks4824 My brother had a Chevy Malibu that we went catfishing in one time, we used chicken liver for bait; when we left we put the fishing poles and the bait in the trunk. He forgot about the chicken livers in the trunk and drove around for a week wondering what the smell was. After that you couldn't find 4 people that would ride in in the car.

Myth or not? "Wind out of the east, fish bite the least"!

[@michaelporrazzo1180]

wind out of the west bite the best

Spotsville Kentucky railroad trestle bridge on the green river. There is a 700 foot deep hole there. The Army Corp of engineers sent down divers to check it out back in the 70s. They came out scared to death. Catfish and paddle fish big enough to swallow a man. Fishermen have tried to catch the monsters with saltwater electric reels and steel cable. And still get broke off.

[@wompbozer3939]

You’re high. If there was a 700’ hole in the river it would quickly fill up with sediment.

[@jessiemae6873]

Back in the late 1970's my sister had some friends that scuba dived Cheney Reservoir in south central Kansas. They told her they would never dive near the dam because of the size of the catfish they saw. They would do the rest of the lake, but never again the dam. No claims to car sized fish, only fish big enough that the Kansas kids didn't want to be near them. Always wondered if those divers ever did an ocean. Fish are really big there. And, as muddy as that water is, I've always wondered how they saw anything at all.

[@FishinNStuff]

I've wondered the samething . I've put Gopros in the lakes and couldn't see anything . I know firefighters that are divers and they say they can't see anything . But they still say they are really big catfish down there lol

[@icanhazgoodgame3845]

I heard the basically the same story for a lake in Texas. I think its a story to keep kids away from dams which can be dangerous.

[@ronniehooper5618]

I always told if cows laying down. Fish are not biting. 😅

[@FishinNStuff]

🤔😃

[@iShawn0624]

This one is true 👍🏻 I have tested this one 😁 Of course I think it’s the barometric pressure but if every cow in the field is bedding down the fish are as well

[@joesummers9864]

I was told the opposite if they ARE laying down it's good fishing now I'm confused

[@513coneyslinger]

I have an uncle who dived in the Ohio river here in Cincinnati. There are deff not fish that big, there are some very very large catfish down there though.

[@williamsporing1500]

Yea, I’ve seen some big ones caught down in Newport

[@djpat5998]

You should check out the mekong giant catfish, it's the largest catfish out there. The largest perch is the Nile perch.

[@seymourwrasse3321]

almost 650lbs, still not as big as a VW

[@willtrax71]

Just a cool video thank you my friend stay safe. Semper Fidelis

Thank you Paris Tennessee

[@tenncutt]

The Bay Area of California had the legend of sturgeon the size of cars when the divers were working on the Benicia Bridge. There are some bigass Sturgeon in there. Supposedly they use to pull 1000 pounders out with horses and mules back in the olden days. I'm thinking I heard 1800lbs reported

[@aliceking3145]

Ok, myth or fact? "If the cows ain't eatin' the fish ain't bitin'." Per my Dad and Grandpaw from Mule Holler Tennessee.

[@drunkwoodswyllia4885]

When I was a kid, we had a big flood that flooded the soybean fields close to where I live. The Point Remove creek runs through this area towards and connects to the AR river. Towards the mid to end of summer, the flood had been long gone and we were in a pretty good draught. I was riding my 3 wheeler down the Point Remove creek, mostly mud with a few feet of water in places. Well I came up on a large brush pile and there was a catfish the size of a sofa! It had got caught in the brush and died. Even though it was rotting, it was freaking huge!

[@russhayes4882]

Glad to see Cranky is back in full bloom !

[@rodneycaupp5962]

It took a real educumater to teach us these important thangs bout fishin

[@brianlykins6663]

Well, Mr. Cranky, you and Keith did it again. Ya'll done another purty good video. I'm not gonna argue with science, but I gotta say that they are wrong on line color. Crappie don't seem to be line shy (in regards to line color). But an old bass, line color makes them nervous as a long tail cat in a room of rockin chairs. Keep up the great work there, brother. God bless you and your family, and ya'll have a blessed day.

[@MrSoarman]

I know fishermen that park their boats 3 days before full moon, while I keep on fishing and cleaning fish.😊

[@stevencochran4274]

I believe the dive n Ohio river to recover the body’s from the silver bridge collapse is how urban voltswagon legend started … along with the mothman

[@markmorash1682]

Loved it, especially the "cars as big as catfish.... wait, did I get that right? The myths that are almost as fun are the ones on big deep lakes, such as Tahoe, Lake Champlain , Loch Ness, etc. You should compile a list of lakes with "monsters" and then advise us as to the gear you think we'll need to land em.

[@FishinNStuff]

Lmbo 😁 . That's a great idea lol

[@Catman-mg9ye]

That makes a lot of sense!!!! Lets go fishing!

I had an older gentleman tell me that over in Alabama, at Weiss Lake he seen with his own eyes 3 catfish swimming up river that was so big you couldn’t have put all three in a long bed pickup at the same time. I was young at the time and looked for them every time I was close to the water. Great video Keith.

Eileen that means so much more than you realize . That you very much. I really appreciate that

[@carlstreet7095]

Here's an old myth: fish quit biting at the first clap of thunder. (Probably started to get the dummies off the water when there's lightning)

[@chrispeguero2404]

I think the only one you miss was about fishing before and after the full moon

Dewey Dam in eastern Kentucky , divers went down to work on the dam, one said he never go back down there but that what they said Volkswagens

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

100% SPOT ON! and yet, there are some people you just cannot convince. Same ones think Mitchell 300's and Zebco (Abu) Cardinals were the best reels ever made. It is in their heart, not their brain, and there is no convincing them otherwise, so it is best just to smile :) and keep quiet.

[@sciguyjeff]

Fish really smell when they are out of the water for a day or two. lol

[@stevencompton5087]

Sounds like the story of fish trap dam in Kentucky. Always heard these stories mainly the one of big blue.

[@mobelue]

My Daddy told me or repeated a similar story about Santee. He said when divers were needed around the dam, they had to hire out-of-state divers because the catfish (always catfish) were so big. The locals would not dive. Was also told that the freezers had to be cut end-to-end to hold said cats. Long live the legends!

[@AllenGoodman]

I grew up hearing the same stories from my papaw. 👍

It most have been 50 years ago now.Divers went down below the lake Martin dam.And said that very thing.That there was catfish as big as VWs.I think it made the paper.

That was the best . You are awesome brother great info and I'm so glad that someone finally got that out there. I can tell you as a diver when you run into a big catfish under water they look a lot bigger than they are especially in dark stained river water

[@FishinNStuff]

Well I would think I'd be pretty scary to find a huge fish you can't really see lol

[@jefflay5818]

The more i watch this video, dude you got me cracking up 😂😂😂

[@davidhopson9802]

Very interesting I to have always believed that there. Was catfish big enough to swallow a man at the dams . Here in Texas like Sam Rayburn and Toledo dam

[@hanburgundy4317]

My PB was a 4' channel cat, and the guys who dive by the dam said they've seen 6' cats. I've seen a 5' carp pulled out of that lake, so I don't see why not.

[@snappybonesify]

Lol I know that pic of the Catfish in the bed of the truck. It's in the next town over. Lampasas Tx.

[@MrEQ2009]

I was swimming in gasoline alley just above Davis dam in the waters below hover dam. I saw a fish as long or a little longer. I’m 6’5”. I t was the same size of a black tail shark. Amazing expierance.

[@paulmeade3180]

I want in. Those are pretty cool. Crap happens and sometimes we have to leave in the dark those would be awesome to have

[@doncoe8165]

I caught my biggest bass in January. A 9 pounder!

[@choccolocco]

Winter has always produced big bass for me. Just have to slow down, and try and drop the bait on their head. I believe I read once that the big bass were more likely to bite in the winter, because of the opportunity and their sluggishness. (A little tip I learned decades ago can help; use some “hot hands” or just your own hands to warm up the lure. Plastics and jugs work best. Sometimes the little bit of extra heat will be sensed and cause a fish to bite when it might not have otherwise.)

[@saxon6]

Good for you!

[@doncoe8165]

@@choccolocco thanks for the tip

[@MysticKnight38]

Lakes that freeze up in winter go through to inversions every year. They affect fishing. Spring inversion the warm surface water drops down. The fish go from post spawn to summer fishing habits. The next inversion happens late fall. The cold water at the surface drops . That inversion makes fish suspend. Your fish finder will show targets at all depends and they don't bite or at most light strike. They come out of it and go into winter routine. I don't know if southern waters do that. It sounds like they might to some extent by what you described.

[@223rocks]

Grew up near Kerr Lake. I really miss it.

[@James-oj6ck]

I lked this video. Great work.

[@Thegoofyairgunner]

I live a short drive from Kerr and there are catfish as big as they get. They are definitely big but a 100 lbs is just a touch smaller than a car. 😂

So funny Kentucky dam is where my grandpa "Steve Boros" worked, him and his friends dove down to check for cracks,not to fix the dam...the Volkswagen that he was speaking of was in fact a beetle he drove to work every single day until it caught on fire one day😂 facts Thank you for this video grandpa wasn't afraid of anything I can recall but did request cages for accidental reasons, like one of them get caught in the current and literally go in their mouth! Which he also said the spoonbill seem to be even bigger❤ Me and my brother's have tried our whole life to land one, we've had to cut lines before because was dangerous not much leverage, I even have some Kentucky dam videos of us fishing 🎣 on here and snagging,thanks again I was so amazed to cross that story sense my grandpa came home excited being a fisherman to see such a thing,he would love to know that legend will never die,so maby not your standard Volkswagen, I don't know what I would do even if I got ahold of the one's they saw swimming with the current on the bottom of that massive concrete wall, I would fight it as long as possible just to get a good picture of it on the top of the water.

I've been a diver since I was 12yrs old and have dove in every mud hole in alabama including around most of the dams. I'm 59 yrs old and have never seen a catfish big as any car. Now if u take a 100lb catfish and lay him on the tailgate, that's a big catfish. If u swim up face to face under that muddy water to the same catfish, that's a BIGGGGGG catfish. One things for sure if a fish ate me he'd be full cause I'm a pretty big fella. Lol

From my own experience: #1- Biggest catfish I ever caught bit while I was sitting in a warm summer rain! #3- I catch more fish on red hooks; I don't know or care why, only that it works! #4- Scent disperses slower in cold water, so the fish that find food by smell bite slower in winter.
