Locating and Catching Trophy Catfish in the Winter

In this episode my son Landon and I will be targeting trophy blue catfish in backwaters along the flooded Ohio river in early January. We found exactly what we were looking for!!
I also share the equipment that I use to target these fish along with some information that I have learned about catfish on 2d sonar. Thank you for watching and good luck on your next fishing adventure. #catfish #ohioriver #riverfishing

That son of yours is a lucky boy to have a dad that teaches life lessons on and off the water. That's becoming a lost thing to kids these days.

Wake up Landon!!! Its all about thr girth!!! Thanks for the information! I run 2 garmin 93sv uhd and agree on the colors of the cats.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I wasn’t aware that you used garmin electronics. We need to chat about them sometime. Im really starting to like the garmins. Thanks for watching man.

[@RiverRat-2112]

Yesterday I stumbled across a youtube fisherman I had not seen before and I liked his take on the boat maintenance matter. His take was that "spring maintenance" should be done in the fall before the weather turns. The idea being that you take care of the steering, water separator, and such before any water in there from the last year has a chance to freeze and cause you more problems. It made sense to me.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Team reeling the blues👍 he’s a smart guy. I enjoy his videos. Thanks for watching

[@RiverRat-2112]

So much to learn about big catfish fishing. I thought a simple Carolina rig would do the trick. Never thought about a 3 way swivel with the clip on one end to change out weights fast. Might try that someday.

Woohoo thumbs-up number 730😁😋😋😋 man this was a great video....

Question about the aluminum floor. Is it slippery or do you put some kind of coating on it? Thanks for another great video. Stay safe and catch more fish!

On your fuel,we have Marathon stations here,they carry a recreational fuel that is non ethanol, if you have any in your area check them out to see if they have it.. (Actually they are the only one I know that have the fuel)...

Where i you get the rail mount for the light you put on your winshield frame? I have been looking for the same thing but wth no luck.

[@forgottentrails]

What length is your boat?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

18.5 thanks for watching 👍

[@MarkMeadows90]

I'm a cheap-o when it comes to wanting to catch big catfish. I've been using a Zebco 404 for many years to catch cats under 20 lbs. I haven't caught anything over that yet. Would a Zebco 888 reel be alright for catching catfish over 30 lbs?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

In my opinion, yes it would, a lot of people would argue with me in that but if you use the drag right I think you would be just fine. It might not last for years and years catching 50# fish but an occasional big fish I think you would be ok. Thanks for watching and good luck.

[@richardcolbert6264]

👍👍

[@jackiegayhart574]

Hagen your tangling with catfish rods I noticed had blue handles not the cork handles. Did you get them that way or did you modify them , they look really good?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Why don't you use clickers is one way better are just preference....I've all ways just used my carp set up for cats 2 hooks with slide sinker and clickers...But im gonna try your set up..

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Most of the waters that I fish have to much current to use a clicker. The current will simply pull line off of the reel. I also prefer to lock down the reel since I like to use circle hooks. So basically just preference. Thank you for watching.
