I did.as soon as you said Red River .i live in Bismarck and fish on the Missouri River.never caught none like that..would love for you guys to be my guide on the big red river..good video

[@christowphersadventures6527]

Pound per pound channels are the hardest fighting catfish I think! I love catching giant channel cats! Fun looking trip!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

They are up there for sure. Flats are a whole different fight... same with blues. They all have their perks that's for sure.

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

@JohnnyRingo Many yes

[@Chris-sf7ug]

Lake Jacomo, MO has the state record for channel cat in MO. 34lbs,caught a 18lber last year off fresh cut asian carp.

[@tyrrellroach5872]

Glad to see someone can still catch big channels. When I was a kid in the mid 90s someone in my home town caught two channels in the same night. One channel was in the mid 30s the other was like 45 pounds. Both were long and thin the big one was probably pushing 4’ long. Both went in the guys freezer. I knew the guy and saw the pictures. I have never seen channel cats so big by the sounds of things I’m not likely too again.

[@mikehuhman2538]

You guys should be on live tv! Frogs my favorite bait candy for the fish. Thanks for a great video!!! Keep up the great fishing smiling wisker's.

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Appreciate it Mike.

[@timsmith8761]

Good to see you back at it guys. Luke one of my all time favorite videos on all of KZbin is your 100 pound Missouri River Blue. 😃

[@landonboston4235]

Me to mainly because i fish the missouri so much so that was cool and that video was very good

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

We will be headed back shortly! To the Missouri that is.

[@BigJ76937]

Those are some HOGGS! AVG channel cats in my area is about 6-8lbs, with a few teen bruisers here and there.

[@myronhigh3527]

Great trip boys!!!! Glad to see you found some rod benders! God bless!!!👍🙏🙏🙏

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks Myron!

[@CTRFishing]

Holy cow those were some MONSTER Channel Cats! Such hard fighting fish

[@Rivamonzter]

I think they over estimated the weight a hair, but obv the Red River has been recognized as the premiere Channel cat water in NA. The power plant lakes in the midwest that are too shallow to support Blues, are also some top notch Channel Cat fisheries. My home lake is one of these. It has an avg Channel approaching #10 and a healthy population of #20's.

[@gr3ktbad281]

Caught my pb flathead on a bullfrog. Definitely an underrated bait! Tight lines and good times brother!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Thanks Gr3kt bad

[@StrengthPack]

Great video gang! Ole Red River Luke of the North does it again! I had a blast on the red over the weekend. Caught a couple on frogs but fresh cut gold eye seemed to attract the bigger ones.

[@l.cmoses6138]

Catching pretty good channels here in northern Illinois too. Nice fish, Tight Lines!

[@jasonsims4029]

Biggest channel I've seen in SW Missouri is 12lbs, drifting in stockton lake. That ain't nothing up there. WOW!!! Great video!

[@chriswalls5831]

Nice trophy channel had my 20 lbs line break like a twig big catfish over 30 lbs I had.

[@terrywagner8569]

awesome channel catfishing i fish channels all year long in cali. my PB is 33.4 lb males channel cat..good to see other large channels being caught...can you eat them there

[@richardlong314]

Gotta love how your average is a chunk here in az

[@anthonyl.mcghee7751]

That is a fantastic video guys, bravo to a great day in the river.

[@panterabacon1655]

The average channel Catfish is 14lbs then there's gotta be at least a 60lb World Record Channel Cat lurking in the waters in North Dakota.

[@huntemup309]

Always a blast by Drayton for the channels!!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Some of our favorite stretches of water.

25 lb test line 100 lb channel catfish I was using fistful of beef liver on a tiny little hook

[@Hammy1TV]

The Red River must have plenty food to grow big. Use have a vacation house on Clear Lake california. Channel Catfish there were average 10lbs, my PR 25lbs and a lake record 32lbs... How big do these get to on the Red River and what are they eating to get so big?

[@tyc.8148]

Clear lake lake record is 46 now caught last year in the tournament

I've never caught channel cat from the red River but I know that their some of the most delicious fish where I'm from so I'm just wandering why you guys don't keep them

[@YETI-q7o]

[@aaronsmith9030]

I just got a new boat back in March. Got a 1870 crestliner retriever fcc with a tunnel and a 115/80 mercury.

[@millertimeanglingmta9295]

Red is a bucket list destination for me! So close, cant believe we havent fished it yet! Was it that slow that you guys only caught 4 fish? What was the "Interesting day" about? Nice fish guys!

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Hey Miller - the bite was fairly slow, but we definitely caught more fish than what was shown in the episode. We just like to show the most entertaining (which usually are the biggest) fish so that you guys don't get bored 😁 What was interesting is that we put on almost 70 miles that day in the boat to land on a broken dream lol.

[@millertimeanglingmta9295]

@@NorthwoodsAngling I had heard it was pretty slow this season. Just wanted to get your take on things. I've only ever gotten 1 chan over 20. As a teen. And I've been chasing ever since! Awesome fish and awesome video!

[@dooksofhazzardoutdoors9915]

There only that big because there from Canada lol that giant probably been to lockport,mb a few times

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Definitely bigger in Canada! This no crossing sucks!

[@noahgonefishing23]

So ur telling me catfish eat frogs dead and alive?!?!?! I GOTTA TRY THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattwodziak1750]

What kind of net are you guys using?

[@savagebbqgrilling8450]

Do you catch or buy frogs for bait? They are not easy to come by around here.

[@adamgrove9471]

What is baitcasters are yall using? Love yalls videos which yall put out some more lol.

[@TuttiFunFishing]

Hello I'm 75cm Channel catfish in Kasumigaura, Japan

[@spurbronc9449]

Why are giant channels so rare and giant blues are so common nowadays? When I was a kid in the 90s, catching blues were rare and maybe that is because I fished ponds but still i caught them over 10 pounds a lot. Now I rarely catch huge channels and catch bluea all the time and yes channels bite like real big cats. Like leopards and lion jaw power!! Lol. I once saw a guy break and cut finger down to bone from one biting and rolling. I told him and he no lisen 2 me🤣

[@cincinnatiking8008]

I received a channel cat bite last week. I decided to grab one by the mouth for the first time. I'll never do that again 😄

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

lol it definitely hurts!

Catching fish

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

True.

[@sephuris5555]

Never ever make another trip over towards the North Dakota I might swing by so I can catch

[@joshblanton6175]

Do you think fingering their gills is better for the fish if they aren't that big? I mean if your fingers can take that clamp how is it better than slamming your fingers in their gills?

[@Fisherdanpro23]

What happen to all the new videos bro??

[@TheAsthmatic91]

What make and model is the boat?

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

kingfisher 1875 Falcon SJ

[@Landerjosh]

Did you just say the AVERAGE size channel is 14lbs there? That doesn't seem correct lol. If you catch a channel over 10lbs here, it's considered abnormal.

[@dalenesbitt]

Go a bit further north to Lockport. They're even bigger there. Not hard to hook into a 34" kitty there.

[@patrickruhe5450]

Using the frogs alive? Whole? Cut?

[@NorthwoodsAngling]

Whole and not alive.
