How to bank fish for catfish

[@Drewdown2002]

Just getting my channel started, I'm a 71 year old disabled male, just got a new mobility scooter so I can finally get to the water after having to take the city bus to one spot to fish in a wheelchair., love your channel Dude!

[@floydaltonmiller]

This has been a great bank fishing video, the gentleman doing the fishing is a good presenter.

[@okwildlifedept]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Catfish.Knudsen]

Agreed!

[@greywolf7586]

Not only I like your fishing tutorials, but I love the way you express yourself about our creator, I can tell you are a very humble man, please keep uploading more videos. I’m a disabled person but I got to great friends that whenever they off from work take to fishing with them, and more than anything I thank GOD for His mercy on me.!! God bless you sir.

[@abrammartinez8788]

You're so right, there is nothing like catfishing from the bank, just so relaxing.

[@tc3724]

Dude has the best fishing spot in KZbin catfish history.

[@Catfish.Knudsen]

Late Texoma is def one of the best catfishing spots. I can't WAIT to get out there.

[@perryhunt7368]

Thanx 4 da cool and informative video. Keep it up. God bless.

[@smiley6168]

I live in the Bayarea we have some of the best fishing in the California Delta. We got the bay the ocean and the lakes. I will try to go out this weekend and catch some catfish and striped bass. Thanks for this beautiful show

[@shadomane]

Thank you for the video. That was a good video. I lived in Sallisaw, Ok. for 5 years back in the 90's and fished Kerr Lake and tailrace below Kerr dam for cats and normally always had good luck. Oklahoma has some of the best fishing in the nation and good folks too. Think I'll move back there when I retire in a few years.

[@pdrgolferman]

My favorite lake in all of North Texas. Great video David.

[@PONDRIVERBOYS]

This fella needs to do more vids like this.

[@okwildlifedept]

We certainly agree!!

[@SMaamri78]

Awesome video. Just ordered a 9 foot rod and Penn Battle 2 6000 reel. This video is just what I needed to see. I want to do some bank fishing at some large nearby lakes. Very informative.

Thank you for posting this video it reminds me of catfishing with my dad as a kid. Dad is gone passed away but those precious memory's of chicken livers & nightcrawlers catfishing with dad will last a long time. Good luck they make good eatn'.

[@okwildlifedept]

Thanks for watching. We are glad this sparked some good memories, as that's what it's about!

Grew up in the Texoma area, getting back into fishing, so nice to come across an okie channel to learn catfishing 🐮🖤🎣

[@kodachrome27]

THIS video and David Banta is what originally got me interested in trying catfishing! I've been trying different spots in NE Oklahoma every weekend for the last couple months and am having a blast. Thank you for such a great, informative video!

[@wakichunu]

still fishing? were you able to catch some catfish? if so, which lake has been most successful?

[@zmanphoto]

David, you need to do more of these. I need to learn how to fish again! The city has corrupted me. Your friend, Mark Z.

[@kiteman357]

I use this same technique to fish a large reservoir. 11 ft. surf rod but I use an Okuma 550 bait-runner reel. Works like a charm with circle hooks. All I have to do is flip a lever and the fish hooks himself. Great video by the way. You sir have a great job!

what surf rod can you recommend for my first? Not necessarily low end. Thanks

Dude, you are the man. Just discovered this video, and you are probably long gone by now...but I needed to tip my hat your way regardless. Fishing for a decent meal while having a good time on the water taboot. Cheers from Kansas!

Excellent video, I've been away for a while and your video inspired me to get back out there and battle some cats. Bless you

Doyle, meet David Banta. Thanks for watching again and again..

[@lsd-25ayahuascadmt7]

What a well put together video, you've got a voice fit for radio. Me and the fellas have been catfishing these past few weeks, a few bites every hour, but not hookups. I am going to try smaller baits, and also recasting more often.

[@TheAllsumr]

great video. I'll be fishing tomorrow night and will be using some of your tips and pointers.

I like to use circle hooks, cats hook themselves. A bank bait slinger now since had to sell my boat. 85, family scared I may fall over. Love cats. Used to go 3 days a week fishing after retiring, now once a week. Fla . 🐻😍😍😍

I like this video a lot! Them hooksets! The tip on how to make a Y rig has really helped me.

[@recoveryisfnawesome8961]

What an awesome video. Thank you for opportunity to watch you catch some good fish, from one bank fisherman to another.

[@sofreshsoclean3000]

A very informative video, David, I would have loved to have been out there with you and caught some of those nice catfish!

[@ernestwalden3894]

I'm 50 yrs old and been fishing off the bank sence I was knee high to a grasshopper lol. The biggest blu catfish I ever caught was 57 lbs. But just this past weekend I had something take my pole out of its holder drug it through high grass and through brush and it went so fast I couldn't catch it

[@bobdashiell6714]

Nice video, I enjoyed watching it.

[@VanGuard1020]

Cool video, made me want to catch some cats for deep fry here in SoCal.

[@andys4971]

Pro tip, if you live in an area where there are residential Retention ponds, try for catfish in there cause there’s some monsters. Me and my friends fished one for just a few hours and reeled in 5 7-8 pounders and I got the big one of the day at 10.53. Maybe not 40-50lbers in there but that 7-10 mark is still tons of fun

[@jenbilbrey1089]

I live in Austin Texas. Yeah I'm a Longhorns fan LOL anyway love you video and I have heard of Lake Texoma it is an awesome Lake big catfish. Nice video my friend good luck to the Sooners this year

U have the best teels,and 11 ft. Rods,all u need is a yamagatsu circle hook so u don't have to set the hook,it does it all on it's own. Great info. For cats,thanks.

[@OzarkPursuit7883]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@thecrazyvaper9301]

Yup, cut bait. If I catch a carp, it gets filleted and cut into strips. I've caught 4 cats on the same bait. I use treble hooks though

Awesome Video My Friend My Best Bait For Big Blue Catfish Is Cut EEL

[@fredstratton2841]

Loved your video. Here in Ontario Canada we are only allowed one rod when bank fishing. Such a stupid rule. We have a limit so I don't see why we are curtailed to one rod. Very frustrating.

[@akfrmab9206]

I live in Ontario and it's because dickheads set up 8 rods and kill the fish population

[@keithnichols9149]

Well actually in Oklahoma the limit is 2 rods. He is breaking the law in this video.

Breath job👍I just started fishing cats with my hubby an its an addiction

[@haroldcale4767]

Personally I think any boat without bells and whistles would be okay too. You think? Any ways living in an apartment with no parking a boat is hard life, so I'll have to bank fish anywhere in Kentucky, Rivers, Lakes, Creeks, and yes by permission Ponds. God Bless and hope you get fishin some.

I want to see your rig. I use a Carolina rig. What do you use David?

[@TheRforrest]

great video, very informative

[@keithneal5768]

Liked the video. Just a few questions. Where did you get your 11' surf rods in one piece I am thinking? What type of reels are you using? Why not use circle hooks? Better hook set in the top of the mouth. I am using an 7' Berkeley Rod with a Ambassador 6000, that I bought back in the middle 80's. I have a few cats on it here in East Texas. But I was using for bay fishing in my home town down on the Texas Gulf coast. Thanks and good luck. Keith

[@700xxn]

Awesome video brother!

[@tarusgaither819]

[@HookFaced]

What reel and rod are you using ?

[@calebbutler1752]

i love your videos man do more

[@DanielWalker-kr3ch]

Your choice of location for time of year is spot on, but it looks as though your using a spinning rod with bait casting reels, I’ve never seen guides that big on a bait casting rod before

[@ronlund1953]

Hi David. I've looked for those hooks and I can't find them, even on Eagle Claw's website. Is there a part number on the box you could share? Thanks, Ron

[@patricko1563]

Hey just wondering what reels are you using? also I am a bit puzzled as it seems you are using baitcasters on spinning rods.

[@TripFishingMyLife]

Nice video.. Great fishing bozzku.. I like it.. Thanks

[@DavidMartinez-dl8lg]

Just some advise man. If you use circle hooks you won't have to set the hook. It'll set itself once you start reeling. I like the gamagatsu hooks

[@DavidMartinez-dl8lg]

Good video by the way.. The lake looks awesome.

[@BrentStewartCCIM]

Great video in the promised land Dave! I'm gonna be back down in Okla fishin at the popular Grace's Pond. Any recommendation on amount of lead I should use?

[@stonewall73448]

Brent, as a rule of thumb, I always recommend/use a minimum of 4 ounces of lead....but 5 would be even better, particularly in a pond scenario.
