I dropped my baits in a 70ft hole and this is what I caught! {the original}

Today I suspended baits in deep water for blue catfish. I also tested a theory that more time on a spot would equal to more hookups. #suspendingbaits #bluecatfish #palmettocats #bluecatfish #deep

Much respect for catch & release, my friend. Thank you. BTW, The red marks you encountered on the fish are from Lamprey Eels, enough of them get attached they can drain all the blood from the fish.

I use 25-30lb monofilament. In this video, I was using mostly Ande Monster Line. There is a link to it in the descriptions of most my videos.

[@clarkg9805]

When I was a kid, I use to sit on the bank of one of our local creeks and catch large mud cats using earthworms and a cane pole. My grandfather taught me how to fish like this, he grew up in Texas. In the early 1900's it was more about survival than fun. How times have changed.

[@PalmettoCats]

I think a lot of people still fish like that, but yes, with the times comes advancements. Sometimes I think we're too advanced for our own good hahah.

[@adamking4246]

I've lost so many fish because I'd have to many rods going. I'd be running back and forth, setting hook on one rod then other rod would go down, or one fish would get me rapped up in other rods. Now I only use 2 maximum. If fish are slow it's a good idea though. Nice video.

[@PalmettoCats]

That would be a great problem to have

[@BobbyTucker]

Found the same to be true on Lake Meade in Las Vegas, that was back in the mid 70s to mid 80s, it's just about all dried up now, sadly. Used to catch some of the nicest Channel Cats out of that lake.

[@jimsawyer6955]

Hey bud, new subscriber - great videos! Im brand new to fishing, can you answer two basic questions for me? I notice you use a spinning reel sometimes and more recently bait cast reels - any significant difference on when to use those or juts personal preference? Also, I notice your usual go-to rig has some type of neon floaty looking object on the line. Can you tell me what type of rig that is and what that object is? do you just have it sitting on top of a swivel and then leader line with your circle hook? thanks

[@PalmettoCats]

Welcome Jim. Personal preference really. I think the round reels give me more control on my casts, a little more finesse. That’s a Santee Cooper rig. It’s a 3” peg float with a versa rattle. It spins in current and rattles. On top of the swivel is a sinker slide, clips to your sinker and slides up and down your main line. Hope that helps.

[@jimsawyer6955]

@@PalmettoCats Awesome. Also if you have time - If im sticking to smaller lakes for now with less current - can I still use a peg float and versa rattle or are they less necessary/effective than just a base rig? And is it ok if I use just a standard inline lead over a sinker slide for the same reason? Really appreciate you Kevin

[@PalmettoCats]

Yes, an in line lead is perfectly ok. The rig is designed to suspend you bait off the bottom. The versa rattle isn’t necessary.

I was gonna ask a stupid question like what would you do if you hooked up on like five poles at once but I just pictured myself there and I already know like lots of frantic thrashing mumbling and probably swearing as I would no doubt fall down or off the boat during this but that's just me!
