Looks good . I am going to go to Walmart and get me some garlic cheese. and if theres any left after I get done eating it ,I will make some cheese bait.

[@TheOregonOutlaw]

~MRC~ Use that same anti-stick spray to line the ice cube tray before you load it with the melted concoction and then chill it at least 6 hours. You'll be happily surprised at how easy the baits will slide out. One more thing - you CAN use food coloring for color - I use it to color code the various mixes of baits and even use "Pro-Cure" UV to add scent and visual aid to the fish. Also, I STRONGLY suggest using old dried cat tails to add the fiber you wisely spoke of - most catfish LOVE the stuff so even the fiber will add another PLUS to the recipe. You're doing great - keep on catching!!! ~Tight Lines~

[@phrygian360]

I've seen a lot of your vids out on the water fishing, but after seeing your live bait freezer rig and this video I must say, you are the "real deal" Can't thank you enough for taking the time to share this info! Keep doing what you do :)

[@Juanelo1946]

Kris, oh my, thanks a lot for the shoutout. That was totally unexpected! I'm in the middle of a new Asian fish recipe right now! So, thanks for the tried and true homemade recipe for stink bait. The plastic molds are just the ticket! Your long experience is immensely valuable! I would bet your bait is a winner over commercially available stuff every day of the week. I love your tip on folding back the line over the treble hook, then putting the bait down over that. Nice! So thanks again my friend! All the best to you and yours!

[@bigmacsmalegmailcom]

That is a great technique with the hook and line. Learn a little sumthin Every Time watching a Muddy River Catfishing episode.(learned a LOT of "little sumthins" in this vid) Thx Kris❗

[@dcascario]

What is your you tube link for blue gill?

[@Juanelo1946]

Domenic, I have several videos on catching and cooking bluegill. Go to the link that Kris provided, kzbin.info, then click on "videos" to see the list. Thanks for your interest!

[@Todzilla386]

Great idea! Been thinking about doing something similar myself but now tippy gave me a blue print to work with. Thanks again Kris!

[@Drewskimac1]

That's a good recipe Kris, i will try it, thank you for taking the time to share it :)

[@DJEmpressAlyda]

Hi Kris just wanted to say i have been subscribed for a while now and i want to thank you for posting educational videos. After only fishing a few times with my dad when i was a kid here about 30+ years later i started fishing again about a year ago and fell in love with the being out in nature relaxing yet having suspense at the same time. I am hooked. ;) thanks again.

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Alyda S Thanks for the compliment! I appreciate viewers like you! You make all my hard work worth every second!

[@joroyamaortiz8723]

Great video!!! Like always, learning something new.

[@tunnelvision_space]

Brilliant video luv the way you present it on the treble hook. I want to make a ground bait to prep the spot for a few days before fishing

[@uglyfrog7263]

Love this video, great job.

[@jaymacklin8303]

Nice job man ,also jaunelo is great !

[@MrRedforman1]

You could just cut up the cheese into small squares, put them in a Ziploc bag and pour in some garlic salt. Let it sit for a few days and you got good catfish bait. Been catching catfish up to 15 pounds using that little recipe.

[@Blue_Cat_Mafia]

Cool vid man, it's greatly appreciated!

[@armandogarcia7610]

Very good video Kris and I like how you have that homemade barometer that Steve Douglas showed the community how to do well have a good one brother and as always I enjoyed your video

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Armando Garcia I was wondering who would be the first to notice that! Good job and thanks!

[@williammorris886]

muddyrivercatfishing you have to be my personal chef haha

[@hoakiejoe630]

Just tried it with blood meal instead of the dehydrated chix livers (which I use too) for a tasty blood cheese bait. Works great.

[@bighoss1592]

another additive instead of the chicken liver that works really well is freeze dried krill. ALL fish absolutely love it and its easy to grind into a powder plus its super oily i have caught tons of channels in the lakes and ive even caught a few flatheads out of the gila river.

[@nicklankford1217]

Thats pretty cool man

[@onlysimps6256]

I look up to this guy

[@TheHillbillyHybrid]

Awesome job

[@hankgarcia7572]

I'm definitely going to try making my own stink bait. I was wondering though if you've ever tried using any of the catfish foods that you find at feed stores that come in 50lb sacks that farmers use to feed their cat ponds, like grinding it up and using it in a stink bait.

[@roybeardjr5635]

Awesome thanks for the info.

[@markhannan5410]

Limberger cheese works great I would recommend anyone to use it in homemade dipbait for catfish you take limberger cheese and minnows and some rotten shad and mix it together and if it gets to soft add flour and if it is to hard add cooking oil use a stick to stir it .

[@robertplunkett3427]

I thank you very much I'll give it a shot

[@SuperFourwinns]

Nice job. Great video.......

[@jimrivergear]

I normally use worms or some sort of cut bait, however, this would be very handy to have, will probably give it try. Thanks!

[@ELRORRITO1]

I sure do love Juanelo's videos also. But this new series "Cooking with Compa Kris" is nice. Keep up the good work.

[@Juanelo1946]

ElRorrito, I think Kris' Fondue de Stink Bait is the greatest! :-)

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Juanelo1946 I was tempted to set a bowl of chips next to the melted bait, dip a chip in it, and bite into a regular chip off camera so it would sound like I actually ate some. haha

[@Juanelo1946]

LOL! Hilarious! By the way, I mention you in my forthcoming video.

[@bigmacsmalegmailcom]

muddyrivercatfishing You Should of Done It! 😜 Aah HaHaHaHa❗

[@JohnLopez-jt1cj]

Dats kool,gotta try

[@axerxes3981]

Kriss.... fascinating video!! Can't wait to try it. However, what is and where do you get the "cellulose fiber"?? Where do you get it??

[@DeDrizzie]

Have you ever tried cut up hotdog with red koolade? I do ok on it sometimes

[@MrHistoryfreak]

Have you ever used dry or powder shrimp, i made a dough recipe with that and got all kinds of cats and bass

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

[@chasman4359]

looks good but I do question the fiber material. that can bind the catfishes intestines up. I will have to try your recipe out.

[@rubenveliz8284]

muddyrivercatfishing What did you use to make the shape of the bait before you had those ice trays.

[@jerrywaters4814]

I have a recipe for cat fish that your cheese. Shad oatmeal maple syrup and peanut butter. Trick is to put your shad in a gallon pickle jug, lit it set in the sun 2 weeks. Cook out side after 2 weeks and add all

[@handyallaround5776]

great video as is all your vids,,,,,,,,,whats the biggest fish you ever caught a prepared bait,,,,,everyone always say max size cat on prepared bait is under 25lb or so?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Yes, usually the bigger ones are more selective about what they eat. You're more likely to catch them on the natural forage fish in the body of water that you're fishing in. There's always exceptions to the rule though. If there isn't enough forge food to maintain the fishes diet, it will eat anything it can to survive.

[@lasonconrad5666]

Believe it or not i used to catch flathead, blue, and channel cats with crankbaits used for bass fishing +muddyrivercatfishing

[@catfishryan2188]

Hello,I'm going fishing for catfish really soon and I am 14 years old and I really want to start making my own stink bait.this video really helped me get an idea of how I'd like to start making it.do you think that a bait made from limburger mixed with bleu cheese melted down.infused with garlic and parmesan cheese powder and little cotton fibers would work?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Junk Silver Stacker Sounds like it might. The idea is to use your imagination and creativity to make your own bait. You're on the right track. Just keep messing with it until you get it to where you are happy with it and it starts to produce fish. Good luck!

[@joellenzimmerman4493]

Hi, Chris, I know this an older video but do you think anchovy paste would be a good additive? I watch all your videos just never commented.

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

I sure do think it's worth a try! I've heard lots of good things about anchovies. Let me know how it works for you!

[@wickedlokz1849]

Gotta make your bait edible to snack on lol

[@brianoldham8502]

would the cheese hold every thing together?

[@haroldcale4767]

I find microwave my cheese with all kinds of stuff and after adding hot sauce to it and let it stand to get hard again than cut to size and go fishing... LOL

[@AdmiralBirdy]

Could just chill it in a block about 3/4 1 inch thick then cut it in little squares to use. Would eliminate trays and release agent.

[@queendoyle6537]

Nice video can you make some crappie bait

[@buddahmayne9273]

Damn man I love nachos to much to feed catfish instead.. 🎣 haha.. Gonna have to give this a try though.. 😎✌️

[@outdudedoors]

I'd use that much at the first brush pile

[@ultimategt1228]

Can I use flour or corn starch for the fiber??

[@plutoplatters]

used to have a problem using Velveeta cheese for trout... ME... eating the bait up ! I used to put handfulls of dirt in it ... only was I could stay out of it

[@diegomedina7344]

Kris would you suggest to use benefiber on this recipe? Thank you.

[@diegomedina7344]

Oh I see. Thank you Kris

[@jasonmorser9521]

Muddy have you ever made your own dip bait to catch catfish, if you do can you share a recipe with all of us.

[@slabseeker4627]

I wouldn't put it in the freezer it will take all the moisture out of it the fridge will be enough.

[@martymac5372]

Hey Kris, did you only put the tiny little amount of fiber you showed putting in? That didn't seem like enough to make any difference for that whole pan? I just knew from the look on your face before you opened that liver powder that it was potent LOL. Looks like you dried quite a bit of liver, it takes a lot of wet stuff to make not so much dry powder. I dry all my hot peppers toward the end of summer for using in the wintertime. And if you don't mind where do you get that cellulose fiber?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Marty Mac I know it didn't look like much but it is really thin. I bought it at a local concrete supply store

[@martymac5372]

muddyrivercatfishing Hey Kris, as always thanks for the info! U be the best! Looks like it's supposed to get to around mid 50's here in St. Louis on Monday, think I will go do some bank fishing with those blended liver/sardine sponges I made up last week. Will let you know if they like it. Thanks for the recipe !

[@reginaervin8042]

The clam juice smells enough for me lol hahahaahah

[@DevDoesAThing]

how often do you use this bait for fishing ? and how effective is it compared to some of your other baits?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

musixfreak90 I use this bait mainly in stocked ponds and it works well.

[@DevDoesAThing]

What bait would you recommend for a fairly well flowing river im tired of using raw chicken liver and losing bait to other nuisance fish. btw I literally went on a watching binge of all your videos last night till about 3am love the videos very informative.

[@renemonreal6034]

Do you have bass bait

[@user-kr1if9pp1v]

What is the name of the added powder, please explain to everyone who reads my comment

[@AndySjostrom]

more food for thought. spraying the ice trays with a cooking spray make s it easier to get the baits out of the tray and you won't need the tweezers..

[@Andrewriffe]

you should do a review on soap bait i hear it works but never tried it

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

andrew riffe I will this summer

[@Andrewriffe]

ok thanks

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

Hey I just started dehydrating the livers today my dehydrater said 155 degrees it runs at so how long to dehydrate the livers?

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

oh btw I'm dehydrating 2 containers of livers my dehydrater is so large

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

+grumpy old fart I don't have an exact time. I just do it until they are completely dry and brittle.

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

+muddyrivercatfishing I'll probably leave it running till Saturday it drive's my dog nuts he smells itbut can't get to it

[@chrisguerra2111]

I have a question does it have to be white cheese or yellow would be or also is white cheese preferred?? I recently have gotten "Hooked" on your KZbin channel thanks for all the tips you share

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Chris Guerra any cheese should work

[@chrisguerra2111]

Awesome thanks and keep up the awesome work just finished seeing your Give away episode that's awesome I will be keeping up with your channel

[@kalebtrammell]

How long did you dehydrate it for?

[@briantran8932]

Do u need to freeze it or put it in the fridge

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Brian Tran if you plan on fishing within the next few days the fridge is fine, but if you want to make some to fish throughout the season then freeze it and thaw it out before you go.

[@contreeman]

CAN I USE VELVETA?

[@onlysimps6256]

If you put plain cheese on a hook would it work

[@jimmyronsonet2811]

King killer boss it probably wouldnt stay long

[@EMT507]

Is this good for lakes and rivers or only stock ponds?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

EMT507 should work in all of them

[@cliff4715]

did you try using a fish oil?

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

OK Kris be honest, on a scale of 1-10 How would you rate the bad aroma?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

Steve Douglas on a scale of 1-10 the bait rates at about a 3-4. On the same scale the dehydrated chicken liver rates a 20+

[@BlackWarriorLures]

Oh, Steve, you can get a pretty good stink on it. I don't use cheese unless it has turned doo-doo brown. I also dice up maggots, use soured dough, and fish oil from a trapping supply companies. You can get all kind funky stuff from trapping supply companies to get a good stink bait. So doo-doo cheese, dead maggots, soured wheat, fish oil and then you can add garlic or aniseed oil on top of that. I think it's the amino acids in the cheese, oils and wheat that make them bite, but the stink draw them in. Watch out though, every dog in for miles around will find their way to your house. This also makes a good coyote bait.

[@05jboog]

What kind of fibers were you using?

[@bassnbluegill1406]

This is an old comment, but he was using celulose fibers. Cotton balls, or the fuzz from cattails works great.

[@MarcoAntonio-vy9dl]

WHAT TYPE OF FIBER DID YOU USE

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

How long did it take to dehydrate the chicken livers with food dehydrater to the state of being able to grind them into bait sents?

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

grumpy old fart It took about 2 days

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

muddyrivercatfishing Hey so you suggest spraying non stick on the trays first

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

I tried it the first time and the baits came out really greasy. I learned that you can do it without the spray by banging them on the concrete or working them out one at a time with a nail.

[@GrumpyOldFart81]

muddyrivercatfishing my food dehydrator has 5 trays use all of them or just the liver filled full ones

[@smallblockfuelie]

Ever try skunk essence in a catfish bait?

[@andrewwolflethecatfishmast790]

I have. It worked. Got kicked out the house.

[@silvestree1]

hey kris just wondering what the process was to make your liver that flaky

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

I use a dehydrator and then grind up the liver with a blender to make it into a powder

[@mwmnmwm]

that is a look of dread every time you look at the liver powder.

[@muddyrivercatfishing]

mwmnmwm let's just say I learned the hard way not to dehydrate chicken liver inside the house, haha!

[@markhannan5410]

I would be eating most of the bait but the catfish loves it too

[@jcjcoleman13]

How would you make a dip bait or a punch bait?like secret 7 or the magic bait stuff,that looks like peanut butter

[@justdoingitjim7095]

Start with any cheap cheese. Mostly I get cheddar and it works really good. I have a place in East Texas where I can buy a five gallon bucket of cheese scraps for $40 dollars. It holds about 40 pounds of cheese. If you have to pay retail it gets really expensive. Put some processed fish oil in the bottom of the pan to keep the cheese from sticking and melt the cheese on low to medium heat. Add more fish oil after the consistency has gotten like peanut butter. Let it cool to room temperature. It will have hardened up somewhat, so add more fish oil until you get the consistency you want. If you want punch bait use cattail fluff. I usually add about three normal size cattails for every five or six pounds of cheese. After that you can add anything else to it that you think will help. Personally I only add a small bit of anise oil and fish with it like that. Remember, commercial fishermen who targeted catfish, used huge hoop nets and mostly used just plain cheese scraps for bait. I figure if it's good enough for commercial fishermen then it's good enough for me! Good luck!

[@jamesbarron1202]

@@justdoingitjim7095 can you tell me where your getting cheese scrap in east Texas. I'm in Denton county and can't find any around here. I've been using store bought good cheese and that gets expensive.

[@justdoingitjim7095]

@@jamesbarron1202 I get my cheese here. www.boatcycle.com/catalog/product/bait-items/cheese-trimmings/ I buy the five gallon bucket which is 40 pounds for $40. Find out if your fishing buddies need any and you can sell enough to them to make it worth the long trip. Anything you charge will be a lot less than they're paying now. They have the cheese in different size containers, so you can get whatever amount you want.

Kris ,that was a great video. I never would have thought of dehydrating chicken livers. Hey , I just watched a video on catching fishing worms, thought you might like the idea. This guy picked up a dozen or so walnuts (still in the husk) from under a black walnut tree. He crushed open the husk with a rock , put them in a bucket full of water. stired it up and poured it around an area where he thought there were worms. They started coming to the top immediately. You have to have some clean water to rinse them,cause the the stained water is toxic to them. here is the link if you want to ck it out, kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4vYpYyce9ygbq8
