Thanks!

[@PhillyAK47]

If you ever in Philly again hit me up. I'm a teacher and have my whole summer off and hunt for flatheads nightly.

[@fishingislife3818]

wavygr what is mercury

[@stashphl5348]

Tan Bui where do you catch them at ?

[@kerbygator]

vergas B It is a heavy metal and is produced by coal burning and iron mining.Goes up and then comes down and it gets on the land and in the water. It eventually is absorbed by the fish.

[@romeroadrian7312]

Dude, you give a good rep for fisherman. You were being very respectful to other anglers.

[@romeroadrian7312]

I could watch videos like this all day. You gotta do more.

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for the kind words! Tight lines and FISH ON!

[@justloggit22]

Those Mexicans or Asians never catch and release. Hell they eat the left over bait when the day is done.

[@mikelyons7511]

ConservativeYankee22 Barr when you're unsure of what nationality they are just call them amugahides.

[@iainohalloran42]

Sonam Drukpa what do you mean when you said Asians kill like you do and then watch what you say who do you think you are you can’t dictate to other people. You are right by saying different races kill but where you went wrong is you blamed different races in fact you should keep colour out of it as pretty much everyone has the capability to hurt others and worse piece brother don’t be single minded please look at the bigger picture respect and love for all

[@farsnip78]

The fact you gave your fish to someone who appreciated the meal. Wow awesome.

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for watching!

That was very nice of you for giving them the fishes you caught much respect ✊🏽

[@garymiller2656]

I love it when nice people like you Chat give there fish to nice people like them. I give people my fish all the time. Some people think that they are different because of there race, just because there a different race than you does not mean that they are any different from you and God made you and every one else who you are and don't be ashamed if who you are.

Very respectful and nice guy. I always give a lot of my fish away too...but damn man...if I am there first, ya'll need to give me some space. The respect needs to go both ways.

Nice technique, I've seen people do well free lining in heavy current here in Kansas also. Drum are my nemesis, I catch more Drum than cats some days, always a good fight though with those.

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Van! I agree. Drum fight like the devil, especially on light tackle.

[@KxngisL0st]

Van Ward when i was living in kansas i caught more drum and snakes then anything else

[@Troacoli]

From kansas also. I agree. Fishing under a dam I always seem to get more drum than anything.

[@FatDougAndTheEasyListeners]

I was surprised that folks didn’t eat the drum in Kansas. I ate every one I caught and they’re way better than those white bass out of Tuttle Creek or Big Blue River.

[@calvinmyers2896]

Do they taste good? I was referring to the drum.

[@andrewmolina1617]

Awesome video. Every work break I kept coming back to it. One of the better fishing videos I've watched in the past couple weeks. Im subscribed to quite a few. Keep em coming man.

Hey Chat I know this video was 4 years ago but I just want to commend you for your great fisherman ship even though people rudely crowded you against the damn wall literally in my opinion they had no respect for fellow fishermen and I just want to know you appreciated and you are a role model on how to not lose it on someone when they're crowding you out I think it pissed me off to no end but I truly enjoyed your video 👍🏿

[@ChattCats]

Thanks for watching! It's actually quite common for that railing to crowd with people. I'm glad I got there before the crowd, haha.

[@evanherrera7182]

good stuff man

[@ChattCats]

Thanks, Evan!

[@rhino3292]

This is definitely a effective way to catfish. I tried this many years ago and I was shocked at how well it works. Never seen anyone else try it until today.

[@rhino3292]

I didn't know if you would read my comment that's cool you seen it. I was going to mention that I mostly free line with live bait. Mostly larger baits such as bullhead large bluegill and larger suckers 6 to 12 inch. I use this method for large flathead especially during spawn. If you get it anywhere near a flathead it will be ate immediately. If your bait runs like crazy you know you put it near a flathead. It's like a free fish radar lol. Just throw that bait back in that same area until it gets ate. I have caught several flathead over 80lbs by using this method. I also accidentally caught a few large bass and couple musky. Great video!

[@mikethurman9504]

Great video! You should try for bass with those size live shad near the current breaks. Hook them behind the back fin with a 3/0 hook and let them swim, free line them, just remember to let them run with it a ways before the hookset or you will miss them.
