Fishing For A Muddy River Monster!

[@armandorjusino]

Not a single moment of a loud engine, no trash, obnoxious music or inconsiderate speed boat bum operator around. I will never cease to tell you how lucky you are my fellow angler friend.

When the bass fishing started to suck here in wisconsin i started going for cats, glad im not alone!

[@deadpanfish]

Nice bud! Caught 3 straight PB channel 🐈 in 2 days just last week... Dane Co. Still pinning the bass tho too. Whats your location?

[@calebl8698]

I live in WI too and just caught some hogs on a frog

[@tjholmes4727]

South east, beliot area. Ive caught bass the last couple weeks but its hasnt been as good since the last heat wave. Storms seem to have helped

[@donnysath9084]

I'm nw WI, Washburn Co. I fish from shore I still catch bass last evening. today I had a pike bit off my jig, then it rain.

[@askelson21]

You are the Bob Ross of Fishing and I mean that as an absolute compliment! Nice catfish!

[@useruser400]

The upside of fishing with shrimp: if you don’t catch any fish you can always grill the leftover bait.

[@rod708]

And we enjoyed watching you catch fish! It’s always a pleasure to be with you in spirit my friend, have a great day!

[@laynebeckmanwright6475]

You definitely the Bob Ross mixed with Mr. Fred Rogers! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you go for channel cats. Intriguing. Would love to fish with you Matt. I have been fishing for 50 years and it still thrills me. It doesn’t even matter if I always catch fish. It’s just fishing is my spiritual place. Always do CPR unless pan fish for a dinner. Thank you, thank you for I’ve learned so much from you and I Do appreciate your joy and ethics!

[@skippygirl959]

Your videos are so relaxing while simultaneously being super exciting whenever you hook a fish. I guess thats what fishing is.

[@davidfeldman611]

Just wanted to tell you that I have watched a lot of fishing videos on KZbin and your channel is by far the most entertaining and the most realistic. I’m from western Massachusetts and just started fishing about 4 years ago; and I think your content on how you look for fish is very useful. Thank you buddy and don’t change a thing!

[@jmcarthur3804]

I love you’re videos man, I’m in Wisconsin and whenever I see your videos I’m inspired to go out and dip a line. Hopefully someday I can have the privilege of wetting a line with you. I love fishing and always have, to be honest I get into a fight every other day with my wife for going out fishing. Please keep up and happy fishing

Channel cat river fishing is how I started kayaking and smallmouth fishing. Might need to do sometime, but then again the flatheads are calling.

[@HawkFishingandOutdoors]

Good stuff, that first one was a giant! I've only ever caught catfish by accident, but they're still fun to pull in!

[@ssdpqd2531]

What a first fish. What a toad! Catching kitties is so much fun.

[@lukemaunder4839]

Thanks for another one, never disappoints. You're as good as they come my friend.

[@toddwinegar7365]

HOLY CATFISH MATT! Really nice river cat , especially on a river that size! Me I am still waiting on the fall top water bite to get fired up here in TN. Gr8t video as always.

[@fatsidekick]

Man the fisheries you have access to are incredible. Also think your kind of minimalist approach pays such dividends. Great channel and video as always.

[@shaydonwoolstenhulme4436]

I love catfish. Their little barks are the best lol.

[@TheGrandPrixGT00]

Hey Matt I just came across your channel and it’s absolutely awesome to know that you’re right next door to me and Fishing the same Fish that I fish. I’m a big Mouth Bass hunter, & Northern Pike’s for me. This summer I caught my personal best Pike from shore. Caught her twice actually… and the 2nd time I caught her she didn’t make it. She swallowed my lure and was bleeding everywhere before I even got her to the shore, but she’s getting mounted as we speak & I’ll have her come my Birthday here next month. I’m SUPER excited about that. First Fish I’ve ever mounted and she’s an absolutely gorgeous Fish. I HATE that she swallowed it and didn’t make it back, but after 2 hours of standing in the water with her trying to get her to come back to life, she just kept wanting to flop over on her back. Killed me to have to take her, but couldn’t just leave her there to die. Well at least I’m mounting her and she’ll forever be mine. But LOVE your channel and content so far. Just stumbled upon it this morning, in my “recommended for me” section, come to find out only that you live right next to me in ND. And I’m right over the boarder here in MN. I’d love to be able to chat with you sometime. If you wouldn’t mind sharing some time with me. Absolutely love your kayak setup, you got so much stuff on there that I got questions about. I’ve been wanting one for quite sometime now but just haven’t been able to afford it. I really want to get one though. Seems like it’s quite a nice & easy way to make your way through the shallows & such. Anyway! Love to hear back from ya, names Jeff. Absolute honor to be watching your vids. I’d love to do Fish coverage videos like this as well, I just Fish from docks though & never really can tell whether you’re going to get a bite or not. So for me it’s just my personal hobby and passion. One of the things I’ve always done, just really got big and back into it about 2 years ago now. Sure have missed it. But I’m out there everyday now if the weather provides. Anyway think that’s enough typin here for ya to read haha. Thanks again for the content & hope to hear from ya. Thanks - Jeff

[@Flee24]

I'm so used to such clear water in your videos, this is more like what my river looks like all the time! Great content, love your videos.

It was pretty big for a channel cat, although they get up to about twice that size on this river!

I’m surprised that you target channel cat. I always thought you northern lads saw catfish as a trash fish. I never understood that; in Kansas we love ‘em.

[@everythingallin4905]

The more you catch them the more you love them.

[@hapa9615]

Perfect warm-up for tomorrow’s sea trout fishing. Great video as always!!

[@scottfrost8956]

Sea Trout are pretty boring… Fresh water rivers are insanely fun

[@amyevans5993]

@@scottfrost8956 sea trout are super fun, ive only fished for them in Florida but ive heard that in lousiana they can get massive, along with reds

[@jportillo9129]

I love your video!! A good trick, you can use a shower "body loofah" you can make a little bag with that mesh put the shrimp and "hook it" with the hook. So in that way the small fish doesn't eat it and you keep the bait in the hook all the time. Sorry about my grammar, isn't my first language.

[@collectors1031]

I love watching your videos they are so peaceful

[@honchoXXIV]

Hell yeah !!! couldn’t have been any better to drop a new video today

[@philsfishin8777]

a little tip for catfishing with shrimp, get full body shrimp WITH the shell still on, doesn’t fall off the hook as much when nipped at by cats or other fish, and marinate the shrimp with garlic powder and strawberry jello mix, works every time for myself it also helps that i live in the channel cat capitol of the world lol or at least of all canada

[@fishboneangling9627]

You put out the best fishing content hands down. Every episode is always fun to watch, please don't stop. Also, I don't wanna tell you what to do, but when I fish a slip bobber I like using an egg sinker. I think they give you more control, and you can buy them all the way down to 1/8 oz. But again that's just me. Keep up the awesome work Matt!

[@chrishoglo3761]

Nice! The biggie was a Blue catfish, the others were Channel. Looks like fun!

[@MrBionicBz]

YESSSSSS!!!! My day is always better when you upload a new video! Cheers from Kansas man!

[@george8214]

[@firstnamelastname7785]

I like to use elastic thread and do a few windings around the shrimp to hold to the hook.

[@maggelspaggel4073]

[@karldarby1611]

You can use a wrap to keep shrimp on hook for longer . We use it here in Ireland 🇮🇪 when deadbaiting for pike ✌️

[@mattwrightson294]

Perfect timing, thanks for the upload.

[@coltonfishes]

What a monster channel cat brotha!! Congrats, I enjoy the videos a ton!

[@True-crime-junkie]

You are the best by far. Love your videos.

[@LUCKYB.]

You need to invest in 36 egg pack a bucked and a package of Yest .and a small box of lard . Beat the eggs like scrambled eggs . Dump the yeast in the bucket put it up high where no critters cant get to it let the sun and heat rot the eggs . Melt half the lard pour it in the bucket and stirr good .if loose use corn starch . And last green food coloring cats can see green clear in stained water

[@carlwillis5505]

Elastic bait string. Works wonders, use it for sturgeon bait. In the state of Oregon, baroness hooks are required for sturgeon, so it's a good cheat to help keep the bait on a hook 👍

[@kockarSO]

Great video as usual, and super cool contrast to lure fishing action. sometimes it is nice to just sit back and enjoy the river. Some "elastic cotton" or "filo elastico" and no problem with softer baits.

[@RatKissa]

that first one was a monster! My favorite fishin channel of youtube thanks man

[@KG-jp6rx]

I've dipped lures and bait in Asian shrimp paste. What a taste treat for the fish.

[@douaher9646]

That's the biggest channel catfish I've ever seen 👍👍

[@daveversion2.2]

You are a brave man fishing for cats with casting rod/reel setup!

[@subaquaticsleepwalker7240]

That was awesome thank you. Your Rod and reel setup makes me reconsider my atomic bomber surf casting rig. It would be a lot easier to pack a 6’6” Rod too as I’m an over the road trucker. Super peaceful time on the water in nature I look forward to my next reconnecting with mother nature. Tight lines amigo.

[@liamallan1056]

Ever been up to the red river in Manitoba? I pull catfish that size out of the river in the middle of downtown winnipeg, buddy of mine caught a sturgeon too this year. Up north the catfish reach 20+ pounds fairly often

[@ndyakangler]

I haven’t yet but someday I’d like to! I wanted to bring my kayak up to Drayton this year, they catch some big cats there, but with the low water levels all summer the pics of fish I saw from up there all looked pretty scrawny and unhealthy. It was a tough year on all the rivers around here.

[@heavenbound358]

Use a mesh material and cut in 1-1/2 pieces and tie shrimp in. Keeps smaller fish from " stealing" . Cats aren't deterred by mesh. Same method as tying salmon eggs for big trout. Prepare all your baggies before leaving for the river.

[@Steve-sd7wk]

Chickens livers in a cut stocking end on a treble hook is popular here. I like to use the cheapest hot dogs, channels and blues hit them just the same.

[@clarkallen4541]

Try the shrimp with the shell still on…helps to keep gobies and such off our shrimp over here on Erie.

[@djsthemetereman]

My favorite fishing channel & there's nothing like stewed catfish especially with one's this size, you get big chunks of meat
