I've got a nighttime bank catfishing memory for you. Had two rods in the water on a hot spot on my favorite bass, cat, crappie and striper lake in North Carolina. I hooked an 8 pound blue cat, was busy bringing it in, then the other pole literally ripped over the log it was resting on and went into the water. I dove into the water and swam out 30 feet to grab the escaping pole while holding the other pole straight up in the air. I swam backwards, treading water, until my feet touched... Then I literally walked backward out of the water, and walked all the way to the parking lot until the catfish was flopping in the bank, then brought in the 7 pound bass that had ripped my pole out into the water. I landed both fish. It was wonderful, I ate well the next day. I never locked my bail again.

You’re a hell of a fisherman … I’ve learned so much from your videos, You’re a very laid back, Easy going person! I love the fact you don’t swear, And if something doesn’t go as planned , You shrug it off and try again without loosing your cool I’ve recently switched to strictly catfish this season and your channel is an tool to learn from. I have been fishing the cuyahoga river in Cleveland getting some nice Chanel cats and flatheads .. I got a spot about a mile from my house that is kinda hard to get too if you’re not swift on your feet , if you ever travel to Cleveland Ohio sometime and want some nice cats I’d be glad to show you man… 🍻

[@unamtristis9967]

My dad watched all your videos. He passed recently. I just subscribed cus he said you were very knowledgeable. Lookin forward to learnin from ya.

I hope I can back that up. My condolensces man.

[@Dave-yw2wc]

I usually bring my kids with me when I go fishing. They are pretty young so pretty much pick a spot and don't move. Some times it works out and I'll catch 5-10 cats other times I get skunked.

Catfish are either very active or very quiet it seems. 😆

[@stephendoe7594]

The "move to get bites" idea is great, except when you are like me trying to fish the Brazos in Houston. There are only a few places to get down to the river, and you are lucky to get a mile of sandbar to walk along. Oh what I would give for a bank that looked like this one. Most of the bank round here is nothing but 20-30 foot clay bluffs.

[@historias2884]

come down to the sabine in port arthur. good shores here and there

[@jonathanmccue9592]

San jacinto river under the 59 overpass, you you walk down about a half mile, that has never let me down at all. I’ll just walk that bank.

[@bootsparlow641]

I fish the Brazos north of you between college Station and navasota. Big, wide bends, very little sandbars, and it’s all farmland so vegetation is pretty clear- you can normally drop right off the bank. I pull out 20-30lb flatheads often out there

[@triciabadillo3734]

[@ayandantungwa3943]

I'm new in fishing.. We are approaching mid winter here in South Africa. Is winter fishing worth it. Can I catch fish in rivers and dams?

[@ElkinsEric]

@@ayandantungwa3943 you can but you need to be on top of the fish and slow down your presentation. They fish will eat but they are in conserve mode; they’ll expend the least amount of calories to get a meal. Tight lines!

[@sealofakatosh]

Fishing can be stressful if ur doing it for food. If u snag up a bunch or lose fish or get nothing all day it can be pretty frustrating. I enjoy fishing but if I go to fish I'm tryna catch fish not just sit there & look at the greenery. Id just go hiking in that case

[@jasonrunyon2663]

I've watched several of your videos. I just subscribed. I really appreciate you and thank you for showing people that a person doesn't need a boat to catch fish. Bank fishing is awesome!!! Just my humble opinion.

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoy them man! I just like to fish. I have a boat, a kayak, and a pair of boots, and I fish in them all haha

when the drum are spawning and near the surface, they will drum like that next to the boat. you can actually feel it in the aluminum boats.

Get yourself a medium or medium light ugly stick. If you want a lighter rod, get a medium berkley lighting rod. Those rods are great starter rods for everything.

How long are you leaving your bay out before repassing/re-applying? Also, what rod strength and realize would you suggest? I currently have the lews cat smash combos and they’re ok but I’m looking into conventional reels. I’m best with a baitcaster so I’m hoping the leap isn’t too crazy

For channels like I'm catching here, 30 lb braid and a medium light trolling rod makes the fight a lot of fun. I usually rebait every 15-30 minutes.

[@ConnersvilleBarber]

@@RiverCertified fantastic thank you man! I actually have a Lemiglas medium light rod for steel head and trolling so now I just need to pair it up with a good reel. I’m kinda leaning towards the shimano Cardiff of some variation

Try taking the drum and clean it. Cut it up in about 1 inch pieces. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Boil drum for 1 minute and take it out then dip it in melted butter and enjoy. You can put a little of garlic in your butter.
