Checking Trot Lines with the Moron Brothers

"Kentucky Afield" TV goes adrift on the Kentucky River this weekend, July 7 and 8, to show that with a trotline, you can do more fishing by 9 a.m. than most people do all day.
We join "Lardo" of the Moron Brothers singing duo as he and Tim Farmer seek the secret to setting a trotline so that morning sets the hook on catfish.

[@reserrvoirman]

my kind of guy ,reminds me of growing up in my town when life was the river.Fishing at night by the kerosene lantern and swimming during the day,living outside.I wish I was still there.

[@hawk6111]

I like that man. He has tons of respect for the river and the fun and sustenance it provides as well as takeing care of it for future generations of fishermen

[@johncuervo3019]

Yes sir

[@randymiller3949]

This is pure country laid-back HEAVENLY FAMILY living at it's finest!!! The thick southern accent that is as southern as my accent just adds pleasure. ME & MY dad did this all the time here in Mobile Alabama up until he died 3 yrs ago. Now I'm doing this with my 15 yr old nephew & MY 13 yr old daughter...they love it...AND I REALLY LOVE IT...FAMILY IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT & WHAT IT WILL ALWAYS BE ABOUT TO ME!!!!!!

[@tednugent8501]

Randy Miller What thick southern accent?😒

[@glennso47]

My dad used to catch some of these catfish while fishing the Mississippi River near Savanna Illinois.

[@mwatkins2464]

I love this guys set up in his boat house and his mentality on fishing. Not many men like this around these days. Wish I could fish with him. 👍👍🎣🎣💪

[@impacc44]

listening to this guy voice is relaxing enuff for me along with fishing

[@nicstr28]

Man I hope we never lose this lifestyle. Grew up w a dad that fished and hunted and had me out there from 7yrs old on. Spent a lot of time in the everglades in airboats at his camps on stilts. Hunt deer by day and catch catfish off the dock. At night my dad and his hunt buddies would fire up his airboat and send me out by myself so j could gig frogs. Man i miss it.

[@joesterkis8342]

[@rmachayes]

Lord this brings back many, many fun-filled memories of running trot lines on the Tombigbee River near Jackson, Alabama. My uncle has a camp on the river where we would often spend the entire weekend fishing. It's true, catfish will bite almost anything if given enough time. We once used ivory soap on a drop line and did catch one catfish. The river is heavily used by tugs pushing barges down to Mobile and up north. They use to drag heavy chains to run the bottom and bust the lines. Buggers

[@murderfase82]

That Guy is Literally My Freakin Hero!

[@jessetate6244]

I love this guy. Love how he understands and respects the law. Too many people don't realize that we have to take care of what we have.

[@OldMeanGeezer]

Thank You for posting this video. It brings back a lot of good memories for me.

[@tomblount5635]

[@outdudedoors]

I could hang with these dudes. I'll be down, if and whenever I get to retire. Great video

[@ddkelso9003]

KENTUCKY AFIELD!!! Good ol' Kentucky! Best place to live on earth!

[@DesertFernweh]

God bless them good ol boys!

[@kirvin2]

I live in KY and used to set trotlines as a kid every year on vacation. It's a lot of work checking your lines at sunrise and dusk, but you'll have more than enough catfish and turtle to eat. I cracked up at that one comment. "I think they taste better than chicken. I could eat 'em with one foot in the far (fire)!" LMAO

[@briansmith6350]

Some of my fondest memories are of doing this stuff!

[@JUGGINGFORCATFISHcom]

Looks like you folks were having a good time.Hope you find the mules! lol

[@ChrisJHintonphotography]

[@surferdude8086]

I want to build a log cabin and live there. 👍

[@davidgreve1081]

Do I qualify for being a Southern Boy? I live in Central Arizona. When I was a kid in The Great State of Texas, my Uncle taught me how to fish for catfish, Both with a trout line and with a pole. The most fun I ever had! He knew where all the good lakes were, and we lived next to the Red River, but mostly just pulled carp from it. So much bone in carp, we had to pressure cook them to be able to even eat them. Catfish is still my favorite fried in cornmeal. My Aunt had the best recipe for cooking catfishin cornmeal in a cast iron skillet too!

[@FatBoyDan]

5* I Trot Line on my river to,Nice fish.

[@SuperOlds88]

Great video.

[@ChrisJHintonphotography]

Tim you guys need to do another fishing show... this is a hit

[@gregorybennett5865]

Me and buddy went down to the river over yonder and was hoping to catch some fish when we saw a limb with a lot of string and lures on it from people trying to catch ol Tom the big catfish that was down there but nobody could catch em. So me and budy had a plan, we got tied our line off with a chain and hooked it to a nearby oak tree and cast our bait in there and when we came back that oak tree was nearly pulled into the water so we hooked the chain to the horses and once we undid it from the tree we waited for the team of horses to pull it out...well last thing we saw was the horses ears going under water bout 30 feet off shore....me and buddy called it a day

[@1_fishin_magician153]

thumbs up !!! from Lake George, NY * FISH ON BROTHERS.....!!!

[@davejames1452]

A man at one with the planet 🌍

[@craycrayray2432]

So cool!

[@hankstar56]

My grandpa would shoot a jack rabbit and cuts cubes out of it and let it sit in the sun a couple days.. you couldn't pull it off a hook. catfish loved it..

[@billmcneil1308]

My brother in law uses the skin from the catfish for bait and catches quite a bit of fish doing it

[@terryogletree2128]

I'm gonna give it a try , I do use the roe and liver

[@stanjohnson1835]

This is a great video... I could eat it with one foot in the fire

[@Bigcharles81]

im just curious to know what size jon boat was used in the filming of this episode

[@jonboynumba1]

Coulda just as easily been the warrior river in AL. Bubbas...we're just the same all over I guess. Makes me wanna go do some jug fishin!

[@FatBoyDan]

Trot Lines are the way to go on rivers

[@jeffreywaltiere4830]

Thanks for that laugh

[@paulatkinson4439]

There sure isn't anything lazy about running lines. I just found your channel and glad I did. You OBVIOUSLY have yrs of experience and know what you are doing. I don't see any guys that cut the tails off & let the fish bleed out. It is truly best for the fish to be alive. Wack tails and let them hang(head up) and pump the blood out. .... just wondering why more folks don't do that. My way is certainly not the only way. I notice that the fish tastes even better, when bled out.

[@50Grassy]

Makes me homesick:(

[@1995bassfisher]

good video 10out of 10!

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

This really needs to a nationally syndicated show !!

[@robeftyearian8760]

[@mr.wizard2974]

[@hillbilly2248]

[@12teamroperhunter]

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

It's public domain I guess. Grandpap told it back in the 50s.

[@Samsworthwatching]

Is this in Kentucky

[@randybutler6717]

AWESOME

[@dhuanabsa774]

Are the barb sting painful? Love the Southern accent. Been only to Maine and New York City Jan 2019. Beautiful USA.

[@DBerry610]

Yeah a little. The worst thing is the spines have venom in them that well cause swelling if they puncture your skin.

[@702havingfun]

Ohhh yea!

[@Jamesmax22]

Always thought it was trout line listening to Hank Williams Jr. Never called me by name just hillbillyyyyy.
