Great video! Im loving this game right now, keep making more of these!

[@JVDigital1979]

Thanks, man! Yup, there definitely will be more of these on the way!

[@mrthaynes3346]

I'm on the PS4 and fish directly across from where you are using a 6/0 hook and crawfish and pull in 21/22 lb Flathead consistently. Leader depth around 90". Only fish for them at early morning 5-7 A.M. Love your videos keep up the good work man.

[@JVDigital1979]

Nice! Bumping up the hook to a 6/O is not a bad idea. I tried crawfish out here by rubble of old times; didn't have much luck with em. I'll have to try them at this spot. Thanks for watching, man!

[@trippytoxin]

damn, they sure do put on a fight, you might need a new stronger reel lol. I might have to try em and have fun on light tackle. thanks for the entertainment jake

[@JVDigital1979]

I could definitely bump the reel up a bit. You should go out there with a featherlight and see what happens lol. No problem buddy, always appreciate your support!

[@BasedAsher]

Really helped me and it was a day after my birthday served as a nice late birthday gift

[@JVDigital1979]

Cool, glad it helped. Happy belated b-day bud!

[@JVDigital1979]

I apologize for the mic sound quality in this. Experienced technical difficulties during recording.

[@blockbleedrmoe]

Thanks for the video I already love this game but you made it even better I'm killing Bass but flathead not yet but I'm crushing trophy fish salute

[@JVDigital1979]

No problem and glad to here your landing those trophies out there!

[@IAmTonySmith]

You are a human strategy guide!! Love the vids, you got a new Sub

[@JVDigital1979]

lol I do what I can ;) And thanks for the feedback and support!

[@wikusvandyk8784]

Nice one :) Must say you are a brave man for keep making your reel the weakest link in your setup. Line should be the weakest link ;) Reels can be broken with that setup as you found out already hehehehe. Like I mentioned before I don't like this river but you keep making it look like fun , as always I enjoy your vids and I think I will definitely give this place a visit again some time. Tight lines !

[@JVDigital1979]

Thanks, man. Yup, I figured the Prima 3500 would be enough to handle these badboys better, but discovered I could still bump it up to a reel that could handle fish this size better. Next stop, Oregon. Stay Tuned!

[@wikusvandyk8784]

Oh man you are gonna have a ball there. Don't go stronger than 3.5kg gear and line there. It will spoil the fun :) ( 8lb ).

[@JVDigital1979]

I'm looking forward to it. I want to have fun while I'm there, so I'll be sure to have some lighter equipment in my arsenal.

[@xgrunger4lifex]

You should be a voice actor!

[@gordonkeen3955]

I found out to duck meets good form as well

[@esco5593]

Since flatheads barely pay enough to cover the trip costs over one day, I go on multiple day fishing trips and spend the first day on bass which will cover costs easily. Then, for the following days, I just slam those catfish

[@JVDigital1979]

Yep, its best to fish multiple days at a lake. Get more of your money's worth!

[@tylerlee3858]

I hooked one on a white spinner bait with a 2 inch white shad trailer while bass fishing and fought it for a good 15 minutes but I ended letting it spit the hook

[@robrodrigues2041]

I loved the video, I am a less experienced fisherman in game so I bought the 17 dollar bundle of packs and have been doing well in Missouri, what lake should I try next. I'm level 13 about to be 14.

[@JVDigital1979]

Glad to hear you enjoyed the video! I would say your next stop should be Emerald Lake in New York. There is plenty of money to make there by catching walleye. I have a video for how to catch the walleye there if you need some help.

[@remcolenders2410]

how do ya keep em can some 1 tell me plz caught some but have to releasd em dont know ehy got anet and stringer

[@JVDigital1979]

Make sure you have an advanced license and that the single fish weight of your keepnet/stringer can hold a fish that gets above 30 lbs.

[@bubbyjunior25]

I caught a 26 pounders today with that

[@JVDigital1979]

Awesome, congrats!

[@aurorasark]

I caught a 21 lb using crawfish I also caught a 35 pounds with shiners

[@JVDigital1979]

Nice!

[@aurorasark]

Jake Vegas Digital you helped me thanks

[@jigsawalwayswins8636]

I've shredded reels using fake craws. They work just the same xD

[@tsunamino_1665]

You Great youtuber

[@angrydoggo7160]

At what depth should I set the bait?

[@Outdoordraper]

Wolf Mann that’s what I’m wondering I’m playing on Xbox

[@NiVRo90]

Why is your line the strongest?

[@american_chevy616]

great video Like always. do you know of there's a website that shows the largest catches at each lake? if so can you post the link.

[@JVDigital1979]

Thank you, BigRed. Actually you can filter the biggest fish per lake on the leaderboards in-game.

[@american_chevy616]

Jake Vegas Digital just figured that out yesterday. thank you

[@dylanyarkie9687]

Im only getting bass and shiners

[@dylanyarkie9687]

I caught a 28 pound cat with a jerkbait and on my other line that i had your setup on i caught a 16.777 gar

[@erickort1987]

i went to north carolina,i didnt have a big enough keepnet to keep the big flatheads :(

[@JVDigital1979]

You need the 110 pound keep net at the LEAST when going for those big boys.

[@erickort1987]

@@JVDigital1979 i just bought the fish cabin xs plus that should be sufficent,but the rod/reel combo i have nero 10`10 but the reel is low grade using minispin 1200,im looking at wincast 2500,that should match up with the rod im using

[@macokizlong14]

I saw a 14level guy that was cathing 30-25pounds Flatheads

[@jigsawalwayswins8636]

Dont underestimate lower levels lol

[@RustyShacklefardd]

You didn’t tell what depth the leader is supposed to be. But I caught a 33lb flathead at 30 depth somehow lol

[@JVDigital1979]

I 've had luck catching the Flatheads out here with the leader set between 75 and 99 inches. Congrats on that 33 pounder!

[@fncsethan7468]

Use shiners and you will catch bigger flatheads

[@zanstrnad4313]

How deep

[@Belal-nc9um]

Im level 16 and im watching high level stuff

[@JVDigital1979]

Nothing wrong with adequately preparing

[@ducatiniels]

Love your video's. But in this setup, you always break/tear down your reel. Your line is just to heavy. Got my biggest cat 19 pounder on just a 6 pound line. Fight took 10 real minutes. As long as your drag settings are in the yellow max.

[@JVDigital1979]

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I was hoping the Prima 3500 would better handle these guys, buy realized I could bump the reel up to one a bit more heftier.

[@sile2963]

I want vid in lone start lake

[@JVDigital1979]

I have 4 videos on lonestar lake on my channel.

[@spxral.5730]

I used 4 pound line and got a 19 pound flathead

[@KhondorFlex]

Just keep reeling...
