Huge Flathead Catfish Came Back for More

Be sure to check out my website www.kayakcatfish.com
This is footage from an awesome day of kayak catfishing. I was drifting on the Tennessee River with cut skipjack suspended. It had been a pretty slow day and I missed two big fish. My luck changed when I hooked into a monster flathead. It was a fun fight and a heck of a battle in the kayak.

I use circle hooks. Before making a comment about how I need to set a hook, please take some time to educate yourself on how they work if you are unfamiliar with them. Also, there are children who watch my channel. Please refrain from using profanity. Any rude or vulgar comments will be deleted and the person who made it will be blocked.

[@plutoplatters]

a LOT of people would have NO idea about the circle hook "setting" dynamic one has to be about to "picture" physics here.

[@faithislife86]

Never had much luck with circle hooks myself. though im not very patient when the biting starts. Im crawling out of my skin to set the hook. Probably why I don't catch many fish lol. Great video and awesome fishin.

Great video! I bet catching those big cats on a kayak is a blast. I've always been leery of the zero rig, especially with circle hooks.

[@mikeleikam2892]

Lovewell reservoir in Jewel county Kansas has some monster flatheads. Small lake and easy to fish.

[@mikeleikam2892]

@@wickedoutdooradventures6694 we fished the inlet in the spring. We'd tie on a heavy weigh on the end than come up 8"-12" and tie on a big hook and use a bluegill for bait. We were fishing off the bank and holding the rod straight out and let the weight go straight down to bottom. It was fast water coming from an irrigation ditch. If you go on Earth you can see where it was. It's in the north east end of the lake. There's a big concrete tank that breaks up the flow and prevents erosion, usually its under water and can't be seen. If I remember right they open the canal in May and flatheads get good during may- June. Been almost 30 years since I fished there. There's something like 105 steps from the parking lot down to the canal! And they are 1/2 steps, awkward to walk. I think the lake has been really low for the last couple years.

I fish at the local Country Club golf course, "members only" but im not a member. One full moon night in July i snuck into the golf course and took 2 poles, and a tub of chicken liver, no lights, no sinkers, just a wad of liver and a number 6 size hook. As soon as my 1st poles got into the water, i seen huge catfish fins swimming around my liver like sharks!! And i hooked up instantly and got my line broke!!! 40lb mono, brand new. I retied and kept fishing, caught 3 huge channel cats, biggest one was 14lb. And one huge flathead, 44lbs. All released. I went back several times and never could get em to bite. U are absolutely rite about releasing the big fish. Ppl always catch a 50lber and take it home to clean it. The paylakes have cleaned out my stretch of The Ohio River that i fish. Used to be able to get on a couple 25 to 30lbers easliy. Now u can fish it all day and catch one 5lb blue. Theyre destroying the river.

That one was bigger than the last one for sure.My favorite catfish out of them all.Their so ugly till their handsome.Kinda remind,s me of a lot of my friend,s mother in laws with that huge mouth.ha.ha.Their the one catfish that doesn't play by the rule,s when fishing live bait laying flat on the bottom.Many time,s even when using a circle hook they will swallow the bait down deep in their gullet before they even run.I caught a big flathead back in the seventies down deep in it,s gut and put it in a big metal stocktank I kept live bait in, and in a few day,s it died and when I gutted it I found the hook went through it,s gut lining into it,s vital organs.I believe if one is down in the gut its best just to cut the line and turn him loose and hope for the best.Many time,s you will catch a huge cat that is blind in one of it,s eye,s and most of that im sure if it was traced back to the cause,it was done as a juvenile by a hook going up and through the back of it,s eye before it was released.Last year I fished a spot that about a week before I watched a you tuber catch and release a 50 pound blue in front of a dam.When I went up behind the dam there was a bunch of log,s jammed up in a pile,and there was a big blue floating dead in among the log,s,and when I looked at it close I could see a green line down in it,s throat.Many time,s ive watched their videos and when it,s hooked in the corner of the mouth they will show it and say,it worked the way it was designed to right in the corner of the mouth,but then many time,s on a flathead that,s gut hooked they wont show that part so you wont know it was really in the gut.If I was solely fishing on bottom for flatheads to release I would use a j hook style and let them run a little then set the hook to help eliminate gut hooking. Hope your out on the water soon,and feeling better.

So love the C&R. I grew up on the upper Mississippi. I was real young back in early 70's and would try to snag cats that were 5 to 6 feet long, they'd come up to sun themselves in the damn overflows and I never did catch one. I guess they were 200lb to 300lb fish. Met an oltimer years later and got to talking about them days. He said he and his buddies fished out the area sad enough. Used to use the winch on their trucks to get em out of the water.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thankfully catch and release is becoming a more popular concept in the catfishing community. Hopefully we will see an improvement in the big fish populations because of it. Thank you for watching!

[@outputcoupler7819]

Man, I miss going catfishing. Haven't been since I moved out of Alabama ten years ago. Used to go down to the Alabama river with some buddies and fish nights below the Claiborne Lock and Dam. Lots of nice cats caught out of that stretch of water. I've heard tales of 50+ pounders coming from there, but the biggest ones we ever pulled out were probably 20ish plus or minus a bit. Didn't have a scale back then, so mostly just guessing. Great way to spend the weekend, camping out on the river, slaying the bass by day and the cats by night.

Piece of advice that’s the best I’ve gotten for fishin, from a old timer if you could imagine that. When you think you lost the fish and didn’t hook, instead of immediately reeling in to see if you have any bait or recast, just give it a minute. If he spits it out, leave it sit, slowlyyyy reel in. Caught so many blues off this technique. It’s a bad habit to always reel in immediately after losing the fish, if you still have bait, he could come back or get another could bite. No use in reeling in quickly to throw it back out. Hope this helps I promise it will work 50% of the time!
