[@steveescher1554]

[@brayestep8737]

I really like the flapper technique I'm looking forward to using it this spring and summer

[@matthewhuf2460]

Great video! Everytime i watch one of ur videos it gets me pumped to go out fishing again! Can't wait to catch me some more river monsters.

[@matthewhuf2460]

Where on the Schuylkill did u fish? i understand if u dont wanna call out ur spot but a general area would be a ppreciated. i usually fish around manayunk.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Matthew Huf Valley Forge stretch on this trip.

[@matthewhuf2460]

+Sea-Money Fishing okay cool

[@nchemi5135]

lol that damn flapper works everytime. we use that here in the Carolinas

[@johnj.bluvas8702]

What I called the Schuylkill River as a kid growing up in Minersville Penna flowed BLACK as the coal mine washed the coal it produced and dumped the water in the river and it flowed black long after I left Pennsylvania. Learned to swim in it. Today it is but a small creek and flows clean and pure.

[@leehannon6939]

it definitely works I caught a 20 lb flattie from the bank 2 nights ago was my first time using the flapper rig I definitely dig it lol

[@LRO1986]

Great cast! Right into the slower water next to some structure! Hell yeah!

[@mrwho2189]

Tried the flapper tonight on the Missouri,no cats but the small mouth bass were all over it!

[@skeemask4933]

I fish with a chik that likes to thump her flapper before she'll cast it in a nice deep hole... 👍🏻 Hahaha U guys crack my shit up! Nice flats boys

[@michaelmcintosh1870]

you guys are putting out good info thanks im going to try the flapper

[@WesternPaAnglers]

Nice great video .....love to catch big flathead ....good job guys

[@jniszczak]

Great video guys. I am new to catfishin. Spent some time above the bridge @ Betzwood, caught my first channel a few nights ago. Will definitely try the flapper. Any suggestions for bank access north of the bridge? Thanks!

[@daniscajic9096]

Didn't watch the vid yet but know it's gonna be great

[@davet3236]

What part of the Schuylkill is that? I'm looking for new spots. You've inspired my son and I to fish for flats! Loads of fun

[@cesarmacedo1175]

Grate video . hey what's the name of that river

[@RedLexLuthur]

What's that dark shadow at 3:13? A few seconds later you turn in that direction sharply but it's gone by that point.

[@ezekielmajor5511]

What are the best locations along the Schuylkill to land some good size catfish?

[@ilovemyaltima]

Was wondering you said this was in valley forge , saw you firing at night. Where did you launch from ?

[@MrJallbee]

Chris, I was wondering what kind of reel capn kenny is using? It looks like an old penn 209 maybe? Keep up the good work I realy enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@TheWolfePit]

I was wondering WTF was going on......I recognized your voice Chris, but not the channel name. You changed it right and I'm NOT losing my mind? Good fishing once again! Larry

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+TheWolfePit haha yes, new name, all is well. thanks!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I dont know what Kenny was using, looked like some older penn conventionals of some sort on some oddball heavy action boat rods haha, I was using a conventional and spinning setup, the conventional was a st croix mojo musky 8' with a penn squall 12, the spinning setup was a shimano baitrunner OC 6000 on a st croix mojo inshore.

[@seanb9422]

I always use King khales for the flatheads what kind of circles are those I've never seen them fished this way, pretty sweet

[@TNRVG]

Nice fish! What type and size boat is that?

[@joeyjennings5104]

where you guys at??

[@greatsea]

Incidentally, my brother used to make an awesome snapping turtle sauce piquante. Mmmm. Anyway great vid gentlemen. Can you eat fish out of Schuylkill?

[@SwingmanVendetta]

Personally I would not eat anything from the Schuylkill - Check the back of a PA fishing book and it has recommended guides for how often you should eat fish and from what water body (in PA) they came from. It also lists the contaminants.

[@neildrummond5711]

I just started catfishing this year I've caught tons of channel cats but tried for flatheads only about 2 times. both times skunked. I was using live sunnies or just chunks of sunny. fished below the norristown dam in the Schuylkill didn't catch anything is there anything you recommend I could change up to attract more flatheads?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+Neil Drummond Youve got the right bait and the right area. Check your spot and make sure the water depth is adequate, look for 5'-10' of water. When did you fish?

[@neildrummond5711]

I went on Thursday night fished from like 5:30 til about 8pm when it was warmer had one bite. probably not deep enough water I think it was only about 3 feet. I'm going to try above the dam where the water is deeper next time.

[@lojj999]

Hey nice flathead! I have been watching your videos and i want to catch those monsters too! I was wondering if there are any good spots at pottstown schuyklkill river. What ounces weight do you use?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+seil park Thanks man, we usually use 3oz weights, sometimes if the flow is low we'll go to 2oz or if its really ripping we'll go up to 6oz. I dont fish much above black rock but I believe you could catch these in the pottstown area. Might want to try downriver some, towards black rock and even further south.

[@robertbalderas24]

+Sea-Money Fishing what size hook do you use and are they circle hooks? Great videos great river great flats!!!! subscribed

[@yuriyknysh5697]

Thank you very much for another great video :)

[@eddiesommath2008]

what fishing line you using. mono or fluocabon 20 or more

[@weqrfawe1336]

always great to see the flapper in action! what type of fish was that that you cut in half around 3:40?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+weqrfawe that was a rather large sucker, perhaps my favorite flathead bait.

[@lloydrose123456]

+Sea-Money Fishing a fallfish I believe I catch em sometimes

[@photophil2149]

Where on the Schuylkill is this. I'm in the county.

[@harrisonmyers508]

What rod did you catch that first flathead with?

[@rodneyjohnston6280]

fishing for catfish I always call it a waiting game don't you think so it's nice when you can catch and one after another that is a good idea the way you cut that bluegill it all has to do with the scent

[@rockyriveroutdoors9229]

Some one killed Kenny 😂

[@Outdoors1996]

What size line and rig did you use with the flapper and size sinker ?

[@tracyl4383]

+Devin Adams If you fish where 40lb+ cats live, you should be using a 2' leader of 40-60lb and a hook 5/0-9/0. Sinker depends on current, land or boat based. On a boat we use 2oz eggs and let them drift and move, but also use 3-8oz for anchor baits depending on current speed. I suggest fixed weights, NOT slide weights. A secret tip is to use a wine cork threaded onto the leader as a "slip float" which will elevate and flap the bait in the current, at the perfect height. We also use a small jingle bell between the cork and the hook and im gonna stop talking now.

[@deezsquuezeorg]

Tracy L. explain in better detail your set up you mentioned with cork and bell thing. please and thank you. I have some screen shots and think I know what your doing but please show.

[@randellking4983]

what the name of bait fish you cut that was so bloody

[@putkyleinthebrig803]

redbreast sunfish

[@shiroikin]

it was a small common carp by the looks. they actually make good bait. Edit after a second look it was a sucker.

[@overhead6283]

[@romankozlovskiy7899]

You don't use chumming for catfish because they are all spread out fish and they might go for chum and not bait
