These are the by far the biggest catfish caught by anyone that made a post on KZbin

[@littlemanoo]

Boy that is way on down the river!😀

[@qtpie4u]

Great video! I used to think the mighty Mississippi River had the best tasting catfish until I tried the rowdy Roanoke via NC. The Mississippi still holds a special place in my belly. 😂

[@davidmillhollon486]

You don't play around , mr. Hood you get job done, love your video's.

[@savemeaplate1550]

Man the Mississippi has always had some real monsters in it. My biggest Flathead came out of there and 1 of my biggest blues looks like yall had a great time

[@HermanTea]

Just found you a couple of days ago. Binging on you M. Hood. Think so far is my favorite. I am awestruck by the location.

[@danielcombs5389]

good show buddy.....wish i was hanging out with ya..hell i bring the beer

[@tellmethatstory9889]

Awesome. I love Mississippi River catfishing. We catch more Spotted cats than blues, but we fish live bait exclusively.

[@lancerogers9694]

You fished that horn and walked the hole, good intro too. Subbed!

They are fun to catch!...I get some big ones on my kayak....they can tow you around pretty good! I usually use braided line, if they go into some trees I can usually work them out. Looks like a good time! Cheers!

Mr.Hood - have you ever fished in the Mississippi River in the area of Lutcher/Paulina area on the east bank

[@chiefhookumpullum4581]

I use to live down there man what a place

[@jmood2394]

What is the white spinning reel he is using with the red line called?

[@thomascope2119]

How long after the big barge went by did you start catching fish vibration in the water stirred them up moving

[@ajrockinshockin2893]

Wow 👍excellent video with plenty of action. Those were definitely good fish 🐟. 🐟

[@robinwatkins6775]

Looks like a nice weekend camping, fishing adventure. Is that possible or am I dreaming Mr. Hood.

[@250ozarksuziki]

The barge bite is definitely a thing had it happen to me plenty of times

[@marshallgeorge3819]

Those blues hit like freight trains and are as tough as a flathead.

Nice fish. Want to see fish and cook. So I’ll subscribe then

[@shaneb3300]

Always love your vids but always puzzled why you don’t keep any fish to eat? That 38 lb cat could have provided a fried fish feast for you and 25 of your closest friends!

[@aldenunion]

Bigger they are they get muddy and must be soaked in milk (The fillets)...Smaller better tasting.....

[@Stoplyingandlearnsomething]

@@aldenunion many people believe that because the bigger they are, the more red meat they have. All you have to do is fillet like normal and cut off the red meat that spreads out from the lateral line and soak in salt water like any other fish. That red meat is what tastes awful. Super clean white meat when you do it that way. I still see people using skinning pliers. You can’t see the red meat that way because it leaves that silver skin

[@Stoplyingandlearnsomething]

@@aldenunion but……..I do support people releasing trophy fish. That’s a different meaning to everyone and to each their own decision

[@aldenunion]

@@Stoplyingandlearnsomething My local river "The Susquehanna" ,highwaymen toss Roadkill deer carcass off bridges,etc and they bottom feed.(Much like shark in ocean they keep waterways clean) We cut the belly meat out (like you) but we have Amazing other fish that live off the offspring those breeders make.(Musky-Northern Pike (boney but grind up and mix with potato for fish patty)Walleye,Small mouth etc... In our river the breeders make so many babies each season.. When they get over five pounds,they bottom feed and so many 10-15 inch fish live off off Helgrammite and Darter,worm and are fresh because not feeding bottom yet.. The Baby cats set in shallow rapids ,everything small stays in shallow rapids with small mouth in my River so they do not get ate. Sure as you said,they can be done up proper but oh!!!! give me a nice fresh blue about 12",eat them all day skinned and baked.,lol... I like pond bullheads that wash into the crick that are tributary. Many people in my area sure do eat the Breeders though because when water gets high it is tough to get anything else. We slap on a cut crick chub (scaled with head and tail removed).. But late summer so nice to stand in shallows around boulders and drift fish the 12 inchers with ultra lite.. I guess if having a huge fish fry the breeders sure are great..Darn,I am hungry for fish now.lol.. You have Mercury warning in your region now?

Thank you.

[@BIGGSIPP01]

@ M. Hood. Always good to good things happening back home. Great video. Can you or anyone on the channel tell me if this place is open to public fishing or do you have to have special permission and/or access to fish it. I'd make that drive down from my original home in Mississippi to get there. Never really fished the river.

[@aldenunion]

I am not from there but in my state with a valid license rivers are open to public. If you must walk through private property is another thing but if you can access river on open land you can walk the shore line anywhere.

[@jakebridgetimpastato5622]

It’s open to the public.

do you fish up around memphis

[@johnelkins4250]

Big blues fun to catch trash to eat

[@philipculver2719]

I looked up how long a catfish can live out of water. It said some can live up to 15 to 18 hours. But I would not try it. If you release them within a few minutes they should be fine. Catfish is my favorite freshwater fish to eat though.

[@jimraybyers7789]

Nice Fish

[@Harpplayer504]

Pink lips? I live with a pink lipped Cajun Queen that had web feet from standing in Bayou Lafourche !

[@donniet348]

Is that in Louisiana? I need a bank fishing spot for the mighty Mississippi. I've never fished it bc I don't know any spots around there. If anyone knows please tell me.

[@martymcfly9342]

Maaaaan. What is your PB? I'm a spinning reel guy. But I wouldn't trust it on the river. I seen 80 lb blues caught on king Kat combos from cabelas. Caught the fish (Destroyed the reel). I want to get them out as quick as possible (if they are not really deep) and back into the water as quickly as possible.

[@austinchandler6330]

Where is this guy from that rod looks familiar

Great video, and big catches, any chance u could, donate to hungry families?

[@sawssman965]

I read that you should never pull the fish backwards when releasing it into the water. Seems like it would be even worse in muddy water. Great video tho.

Do anyone know how to get to that spot
