Tips for Catching and Freezing Skipjack Herring.

[@jawjerker9470]

Man I don’t care what anyone was says, catching skipjack are a blast!!! And they double as bait so that’s 2 times the fun👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@anthonyfoutch3152]

I use to catch skipjack at a power plant near me that weighed over 3 pounds. I didn't know I caught a possible worlds record. I caught a Drum over 50 pounds too. They're thousands of fish of all types there. One guy even caught a Piranha.

Your a great father always evolving your son. Good on ya for keeping him outdoors and teaching him. He'll remember for the rest of his life.

[@fillinghamroy9963]

Incredible video! So good to see a great father teaching his son the right stuff!

[@DieterMelhorn]

Great video. I've never gotten into a mess of them like that. One day I'd love to be able to load the freezer like that with skipjack. Good stuff....stay healthy..

[@256juggalo]

Come to Wheeler Dam In late April early May when the run starts. Last year I caught them till the end of November!

[@DieterMelhorn]

Nice video and good explanation on how you keep them iced. Binge watch evening on HG Fishing......"don't take more than you need".....great advice....

[@g-mane7497]

7:08 respect buddh. Thank you for reminding the community that I often see guys waste the natural resources we have and forget that it takes tiem for them to grow too.

[@michaelrogers4285]

Thank you Hagen, hope you and your family are doing good, and hope you’re all staying healthy and safe.

[@robertmceuen3630]

Excellent you are excited. I would be too. I love fishing. Fishing for b as it is the same as fishing for any fish!

[@leesmith5419]

Thank you Landon that was one of the most awesome videos I’ve seen it taught me a lot how to get skipjack specially since I’m new to this area of fishing on the Tennessee River long-term saltwater fisherman

[@Tone19]

Been watching for a couple of months the shoes are amazing you make me wish my old man was n my life lol

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Definitely looking forward to fish for these guys!! Looks like a blast!!!

[@FishinNStuff]

You always make the best bait videos man , this one should blow up . I appreciate you lifting up the camera just enough so I could identify where you were at . Yout secrets out haha

[@timhalcomb4041]

Thanks for sharing your wisdom you guys had a great day . You and the family have a blessed day.

[@patriotcatfishersofamerica7985]

Sand right my friend y’all were on the skipjacks. Catching bait like that is so much fun. We don’t have skips but we do have whit perch. We catch them on sabiki rigs too. Thanks for sharing this great information. 🇺🇸

[@markwillis1424]

wow!! need to go see if we can catch any at our little dam in Calhoun on the green river. thanks for the tips love your channel.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you. Good luck 👍

[@markwillis1424]

my buddy rabbit gardner ordered 100 of them jigs so we gonna try them.

[@bigkoutdoors4380]

Another great video! Took my wife last week and caught 79 from the bank. She had a blast👍

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

Man alive what a blast!!! I took vacation all next week cause i know theyll be there. Landen was putting it on em!!! Proud for u guys!!! Awesome Awesome day!!! Tight lines guys

[@TonyLoman-hb3cr]

Some of the funnest fishing there is good way to start a kid fishing especially when they are on 🔥 and its every cast

[@lutherprince9304]

Great job guys!👍👍

[@DaleWyman]

Cool video. I am so torn between using frozen bait and fresh caught. I catch mainly gizzard shad. I get them on ice as you do, and within minutes dry and vacuum seal then immediately freeze. I am lucky to live on a lake with a good amount of Shad and I simply walk from the dock to my shed where I seal and freeze them.

[@christignor146]

skipjack is the best bait and canned up for snacks , just like kipper snacks ,,,

[@CreoleCatfishing]

Wow those are nice!! I bet that was a blast. Great advice on proper bait storage.

[@troydautermann5813]

Just watched this. I admire your effort, and enjoy your channel.

[@BlackChrome84]

Great video and a hell of haul of skipjack!

[@SoUThCReATiOn]

Excellent Video!!! I enjoyed watchin them double catches

[@coopcity4979]

I've been waiting for this video for 2 weeks! Looked like a lot of fun. Great video

[@sequa1_adventures506]

Would love to see the freezing tech and how to video. With some more jack fishing. Great vids by the way.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I love catching skipjack herring for fun. I haven't used them for bait, yet. Maybe someday.

[@danuellewalker8587]

Landon im pretty sure you caught the most and definitely the biggest. Awesome job 🎣🎣🎣

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Super awesome video nicely done my friend 👊

[@solorivercatfishing3509]

My favorite time of year is skipjack time. You are right, it's all about the timing. They are moving around our dams now.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Good video Brother. I learned something about freezing bait Thanks for sharing

[@johnsimons9039]

That's enough bait for at least two fishing trips😳. Great video

[@seanjohnson8622]

Kept some shad from the Columbia for channel cat in Washington State, good bait for sure! Limited to 3 hooks here, will try your tips next June! Enjoy your vids, got to spend some time catfishing in South Carolina with my son in the Air Force this May, love those blues!

[@budm9982]

Amazing! I've never seen this before. Makes me feel that I don't know so much. LOL No one that I know has fished for them this way. You have definitely taught me something today. Your boy is a heck of a fisherman, too. Good job, kiddo!

[@thearmouroflight102]

Outstanding video thanks!

[@RadFingerz]

Hagen I am very close to lock and damn number 2 Lockport. I have showed multiple friends you're videos we are impressed. I don't big catfish much just channels but I have a great buddy that you would like that is wanting to buy some skipjack off of you . He would really appreciate this and would spend some money or even if he could get 50$ worth. We could drive to meet you wherever . You never have mentioned selling bait but being you are so close and these are so easy for you to catch than us noobs we figured we would ask lol! Thanks brother enjoyed this content for 7 months now

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I would gladly help you out but unfortunately I don’t have a bait dealers license. But I have already started seeing some skipjack in the Kentucky river. It’s normally an early morning only bite on the Kentucky. As soon as the water clears some it should be on. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching👍

[@RadFingerz]

[@BUBS_HD]

Another great video Hagen! Gotta love the great memories you're building with Landon. I wish we had skipjack like that here. Have ya looked into buyin the rolls for your vacuum sealer? You can make your own size bags and saves a lot more money in the process.👍 Stay safe out there and God bless you and your family.🕇🇺🇸🕆✊

[@borfishing7690]

Holy cow that’s a bunch of bait👍🏼

[@randyclary8144]

[@dennislanning8076]

[@whiskerwhisper]

Heck yeah brother that's a load

[@allthisfitsverywell4203]

The clump and seal from Walmart works very well in my opinion better than vack bags

[@rodneil5409]

I might have missed it; however, what time of year is this? I’m going on my first trip to the high River, and I like to have an idea a good time to go. Thanks for your time and your videos.

[@user-bn3zo3mh5v]

Awesome video! Love the boat! Love my Deep Vs! I don't want to take your spot over but just wondering which river system you are on. I am in SE TN and never tried for a skipjack before, but going to give it a try this Spring.

[@karlmhoon]

When do they rum at the Newburgh Indiana lock and dam?

[@whiskersnstripes1049]

Hey Hagen, I've heard the skips are starting to run down at Wolf Creek dam in case your freezer is running low and need to get some close to home. We're going down in the morning ourselves.

[@whiskersnstripes1049]

Checked it out and they're not there yet. Should be soon.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thanks for the info

[@kaseyjones1298]

Man I wish we could catch skip Jack like that here

[@mikecha1957]

Awesome video. No skipjack here in southeast Virginia. We get large gizzard shad here. I wonder if this method would work with those?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

O yes. I freeze the big gizzards as well. I do well on them in the colder months.

[@wileysanders6055]

Im going to get more of my outdoors gear tooking care of i gots to get me some more fishing in the last time i did some skip jacking kids was out on the dam we all had some fun all you got to do is take a child skip jacking when you get home they going to want go again that year we had some fun on the dam

[@thecountrylife6078]

Really enjoy your content does your buddy make jigs for everyone or just personal use would be interested if he does sell them

[@johnnybx3254]

Nice 👍 God Bless🙏

[@sizematterzcatfishing4722]

[@chriswalls5831]

Thinking if i can buy it frozen

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

I’m jealous lol my go to spot for skipjack is closed because of the covid19. All of our public parks are gated or roped off.

[@hillbillymoonshiners9353]

Them's is big as crappie hehehe😎👍

[@riversidecatfishing9360]

Good morning! When are the skipjack running around what month?

[@jamescannon4917]

What name brand an size food saver do you use to vacuum skipjack

[@Rivercatoutdoor]

Hey hagen what time of the year and what temperature of the water do they move up to the dam ?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

It varies a lot from river to river but normally they start showing up in April and may pretty good. Thank you for watching👍

[@mtsmts3864]

What should I do with my bait if I catch it a day before I go fishing. I'm not keeping them alive as i dont have an aerator and I'm kayak fishing. Should I quit freeze them or just put them on ice? Thanks! Love the vids

[@kingbeau44]

where is this at?

[@ryanswink1431]

Where do y’all fish at? We live in piedmont of NC

I'm new to river fishing wear can I catch skip jack near st louis mo thanks in advance

[@paulmiller676]

Where is the closest place to London ky to catch skip jack

[@floridawaterboys3489]

You ever think about shipping any out? I see so many videos about using skip jack but we don't have them here in Fl. at least not around my area. I've saw some sites that sell that but I'd rather get them from someone that takes care of them and they're fresh. Never know how old they are from bait sites

[@yaboi8616]

That might as well be a micro tarpon Iooks exactly the same

They do look very similar, a lot of people call them Tennessee tarpon. 😂 Thank you for watching👍

[@addisonfolkers9775]

i do this with big shad. do you freeze shad the same way?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Yes. I actually done a video on freezing shad as well. I think they freeze just as good as skipjack do. Thank you for watching.

Where is that

Anchor. Used trolling motor for a while but battery didn’t last long. Thanks for watching

Hagan can you fish from the bank to catch skipjack ? I have a boat but I heard it can be dangerous, 18' deep v

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Yes I fish for them from the bank most of the time actually because a lot of times you can catch them better from the bank. Thanks for watching and good luck fishing👍

[@randyroberts8754]

Hagan, thanks for the info, 3 hour drive down there, and I really don't even fish with skipjack, mostly shad caught the day of fishing, just wanted to get out of the house, great video on being safe on the river bad things can happen quickly out there, sorry for butchering your name.

It was either an anchor from monsterrodholders.com or one from never lost anchors on Facebook. Both are very similar. Thank you for watching👍

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Any of the break away anchors should do good. It’s kind of amazing how good they hold honestly. I normally recommend the never lost because they hold just as good as any and are priced right. Here’s a link if you want to check them out. 👍www.neverlostanchors.com/
