Limb Lining for BIG Catfish

[@williambatson-v7g]

I sleep five to seven hours a day and work the remaining save brakes to shower, and eat, grab a cup of coffee and back at it again. My life has never been so enjoyable. I'm convinced if your not enjoying it? Change something. Keep changing it until it's all you want to do. That's how you know it's right. I'm 62 and working harder than I ever have , averaging 18 hours a day seven days a week. 126 hours a week. 6552 hours a year, with no days off That's over three times what most work every year. And I'm making shit happen with a smile on my tired face. 💕 I make videos of what was handed to us around camp fires that no longer burn. Im watching you. Love it man.

[@daniels4227]

Guys its not possible for me to love this video more... I grew up in Southern IL fishing in rivers just like this one, and it brings back many memories. Thank you very much for sharing and keep the videos coming!!!

[@mikemueller5397]

we always run limb lines on the kaskaskia by new memphis and always average 20 to 40 pounders blues channels and flatheads

[@agapeclinicsinternationalm6867]

Oh yeah brings memories from 40 yrs ago, with dad n grand dad ....running down n seeing those limbs shake just brought chills to a 10 yr old and plus it meant we were eatin those next couple days. Enjoyed the video.

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

Dad bought me and my brother a 16' deep-v aluminumcraft in 71 I was 8 Dave was 10 we figured it was for good work around the house chores,.. soon we realized our sister dumped her children off , our niece's and nefues. Well there were 13 mouthes to feed that's when we understood that hunting and fishing was a necessity,.. and fun. Great video

[@heathschwab]

Very nice. I sold cats in Alabama 23 years ago for 3 years I loved bushhooking and trot lines got my first 2 40 pound flats on each way and finally week ago got a 38.6 on rod and reel been long time trying to get me a fish that big again. But good vidoe I sub to see how y'all doing it out there man I miss running lines. Being disabled just fish from shore mostly now. Y'all have a good week god bless

[@basshuntet1455]

Just wanted to say I love these kind of videos, fishing/ hunting is super!!

[@loutippey9792]

Fine bunch of cats. Catching on limb lines is fun especially if you have small children on board. They get real excited when you ease up to a limb that is bouncing up and down then they see a 10 or bigger catfish come up. Good job.

[@glencoe6305]

You all remind me of the friends I hang with, boat, even the area looks like it,river ,cornfields,and all.

[@semco72057]

Those are nice size catfish which you all got off of your trotlines. It bring back memories of trotline fishing here in Arkansas where we caught many large catfish and had one heck of a cookout on the lake.

[@Trotliners1]

Good fishing there fellows, ignore the trolls and people telling you how to fish. Trolling is usually a sign of jealousy, keep the fishing videos coming!

[@stacybeasley2234]

you probably pick up road kill too.

[@MegaSandman1977]

Lmao

[@indianacreekwalker4474]

i can't believe you kept those little guys hahaha ...well done guys

[@pullemfar]

Great bid fellas!!!!! I typically throw them big flats back, not cause they don't taste good, its just so they can live to catch another day. But the blues and channels are destined for the plate. I do keep some flats, but only under 15lbs. Anything over that is considered a a spawner, so they get released. That's just something I and a few others do, just a good practice I think is a good habit to get in too. Especially since bass fishers want nothing more than to see all catfish gone. I hate to be the one to help their dreams come true.

[@johnmeeks9856]

pullemfar why do bass fishers want all the catfish gone?

[@robertbrindle8901]

let the big flats go !!!!!!!!

[@RustyNail5856]

You guys done good. nice looking fish,

[@rodneybush4684]

Sally S of Colonial Realty closed a deal with Bojangles in McMinnville, TN. Heck then I came across this new BIGFISH Invention for catching catfish. It lights up when you have a fish. I want Bojangles with me on my fishing trips. Its awesome Chicken!

[@vortechysi3759]

That looks like fun. I miss catfishing in Lake of the Ozarks Warsaw mo.

[@stevewebb5362]

love fishing brother make more videos me and bout 45 other look at this show brother keep the videos coming????

[@bobbygreen2291]

I am 63 and I grew up around an old man who fished with his bird dog , he loved to catch bass top water and his name was Paul Oakley and he lived near lake Hickory and fished there almost daily.and this was 50 years ago and guess what , you look just like him.

A friend of mine and I used to limb line several years ago, in Bella Vista Arkansas. Lots of fun.

I hate people bashing limb lining and trot lining. that’s the oldest method of fishing known to man. Y’all keep catching them fellas.👍🏻

Nice looking fish guys

[@gilbertramirez6626]

Hey y'all enjoyed the video . What size hooks do you usually use ?

[@buddyfuentes]

Boys, y’all know how to produce a video. You show us how you bait and rig, then takes us with you fishing, no annoying music...while talking to us. Thank you for sharing.

[@kennethsmith8844]

Here in SE Georgia we have a pond full of 3-4 inch bluegill just ready to be used as bait!😁🎣

[@williambatson-v7g]

I miss limb linning we cant do it in Illinois and more. To many left them and skiers found them the hard way😅

[@onebaddj]

Dude thats a nice run of cats. Love running limb, jug and trotlines. Limber green branches are the key to limblines.

[@RedfishInc]

Ah to be young again! Enjoy it fellas, it goes by too fast!

That's so much fun to do love lime lines

I know both these boys personally, ya'll keep doing the damn thing.

[@unicornsteaks6769]

If I had to survive on what I caught, this would be my #1 method. The whole family would starve on what I get with a rod/reel. :)

[@MegaSandman1977]

Then you shouldn't be fishing period

[@kylepeak7033]

@@MegaSandman1977 you're an idiot. Sometimes bass fishing can be tough.

[@kylepeak7033]

Hey man if you want to feed the family with the reel, go for bluegill. Around 8 inches are decent eaters, you can fillet them or descale, and clean them.

Sitting here watching this in Illinois while it snows , planning on running some this summer , it's got so bad here your lines get robbed , can't do it unless your camping on the river to protect them , in gonna do some weekend camping can't wait

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Do ya always keep the boat just below the water? And is there a certain size of line that ya use?

[@JohnRobertson870]

How does the console boat handle limb lining/trotlining? I am about to trade up and have thought about going with a console steering this time around.

[@michaelshoffner6584]

love the duck tape on the rubber boots lol

[@j.rbry.8990]

How deep, or how far off the bottom should the hook be?

[@kingfisherblues57]

My brother and I rig up a bit different. We use a railroad spike as a weight and only use live bate (bullheads work well). Last year we caught a 94lb flathead. But we are in a different state.

[@MegaSandman1977]

94lb flathead let me guess you kept it

[@tmb515]

94 pound flathead?!? That’d be the state record in all but 4 states...

Fucking idiots

[@beebop9808]

Used to have days like that down on the Stackhouse road.

I always hit the limb, with a paddle before going in, to put them out to knock out the snakes.

You guys got any tips? I have been limb lining for bout a month now in a huge lake a biggest one in indiana and its feeder creeks which are pretty deep and wide also. I have tried deep ,shallow and all live bait. The only fish i get are channels and a blue or two. There is a forum called catfish1 and they have links for every state and there is a link for the lake that i am fishing and a topic called flatheads in lake monroe. And a bunch of dudes holding up big flatheads in pics. I cant catch one. I dont even want huge ones i want 10-15 pound ones let the bigger ones breed again. What gives????!!!

Those big fish dont get that big cause they're dumb.

BDGaming Watch the video. It tells you where they're at.

[@mr.wizard2974]

One negative about limb lining you really better be aware of wasps nests because wasps really love those locations to build their nests, so, fisherman STAY AWARE!

[@hankb1604]

An effective way to catch catfish. Please remove your limb lines when your day's/weekend's fishing is done. Too often I have removed dead herons/egrets from the drop lines of others who leave the lines hanging rather than to take them in at the end of the fishing trip.

Better find some bigger trees to tie to if you come to Oklahoma to limb line.

those big ones cant taste all that good??

[@xtc601x]

if you know what youre doing and you devein them they taste wonderful

[@milldabeast519]

leviticus ftw you mean if your standards are that low? you knowledge of fishing has nothing to do with the taste of the meat in an animal.

[@milldabeast519]

leviticus ftw and "devine " catfish ....lol you mean the blood line??

[@xtc601x]

milldabeast519 if you dont know what youre doing when you're cleaning it i mean.. and no i meant "devein" as I said. When you filet them, you'll actually notice red streaks throughout the meat, and if you dont take these VEINS out, by the process of "de-veining" him, he'll taste too strong. this process is unnecessary on the smaller ones

[@milldabeast519]

leviticus ftw thats funny ! ive filleted over 100 bullheads channels and blues and ive never seen the veins you speak of.... maybe because theres isnt any u can "fillet " out..... theres the blood line that runs dead center on the skin side and theres a wack of blood in the sac around there spine... there is no "veins" running through the meat to cut. the veins appear once u cook at as tiny little hair lines of black through the meat. either your full of shit or you were cutting something other then veins out of a fish
