Thanks for sharing John, another batch of good eating. Good luck with your deer hunting this year.

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Very nice my friend

[@Zbo59]

Went there yesterday for Sauger, started down near the beach, no luck, then went to the lower walk and waded into the water with 2oz lead spoon, no luck, and then went to the upper deck, no luck. Went to Meldahl and go my limit. Hope you have a great Sauger season sir.

[@RegularDudeFishing]

I never fished for them at Meldahl, but I heard it good and good for hybrids too.

[@gentlegiant3227]

I live in the tri state and was wondering if that place was good for sauger. Thanks for showing how it’s done

[@christiancampbell9880]

Man I'd love to meetup and fish with you. I live about 5 minutes from the greenup dam and I wanna fish with someone who knows how to catch sauger and walleye.

[@Jesuslovesyou929]

[@DearHenryA]

[@bingo45373]

We use to catch them here but they changed structures around here and messed up a lot of fishing for us had to go ferther this yr to get them

[@Buckrun11]

Nice catch. Hope the deer hunting is going good.

[@RegularDudeFishing]

[@thesaltygoogan]

Glad to see videos like this of places I know. Subbed man. Don't mind the haters. I get the same thing too. Fish on man.

[@ALotOfFishing]

[@robertveith3400]

Forgot to tell you my father in law caught a 24 in sauger

[@richardreger6026]

We regularly catch 14 2 18 inch seen a couple caught Dubuque Iowa dam 24 but they rare great eaten fillets

[@Ranger-xc8xm]

I think I seen you that night I was there in a ford ranger and asked you about a good place to catch blues and flat heads.. Was that you?

[@carlblanton1569]

I remember after 9-11 they stopped letting us fish the tailwaters after dark.

[@codybrewer4611]

You'd do better with lighter line and a light/medium light action rod.

[@billsflippnfinds]

Did you end up changing grubs or did you stay with the silver glitter?

[@RegularDudeFishing]

I stayed with the Silver glitter.

[@chipsammich2078]

Do you get snagged alot? I fish a similar dam but smaller and more current bigger rocks I'm snagged all the time..

[@RegularDudeFishing]

Yes, unfortunately that is a downfall of fishing close to the bottom.

[@chipsammich2078]

Regular Dude Fishing This will be my first year sauger fishing.. like I said the spot in hitting is just like yours but a smaller damn,more current and bigger rocks.. Any suggestions.. I know it's kinda an open ended question but just looking for tips

[@RegularDudeFishing]

I use a fast action (stiff) rod so I can feel the bottom or the rocks better, and I use the lightest jig head I can that will still reach the bottom, but not go too far into the rocks to get hung. Most of the time I use a 1/16 or 1/8 oz jig. I also try to get the wire hooks instead of steel hooks, sometimes they will bend so they come free instead of breaking the line. Hope that makes sense and helps a little brother.

[@chipsammich2078]

Regular Dude Fishing Yep makes perfect sense. I'm gonna have to go bigger on the weight though the water is usually really flowing here.. what's your favorite colors?

[@RegularDudeFishing]

Well it depends on the water, if it is clear I like silver glitter or white. If it a little muddy, yellow works for me here in my area.

[@txntom2789]

Dude target a large game for food don't be killing so many little fish just to eat! Everytime I want fresh fish I go for big blues or Flathead no need in all the killing multiple fish.

[@michaelws6247]

Txn Tom that’s like sayin don’t eat chicken because it’s small, eat turkey. People catch and eat bluegill & crappie all the time too. Sure flathead makes some fine table fair but different species of fish taste differently. Not to mention they all make your poll bend 😉

[@txntom2789]

Jeff James I think your logic is flawed it's much more wasteful to bag limit 20-25 small fish vs one maybe two big ones and too it only takes a couple years fr good size cats the other hand those small ones are the same age too so you're not getting it really.

[@Kinlow54]

Normally, the smaller sauger are the males. It does nothing to the population to keep a limit of these. Keeping the big females is what affects the population. This is why in Ohio you can only keep one catfish over a particular length (channels, flatheads etc.). Also, if you are eating fish out of the Ohio river the smaller fish are less toxic with the various chemical pollutants. Big flatheads, channels, and blues are loaded with mercury, pcb's, farm fertilizers etc. Thus, the smaller the more healthy if you are eating Ohio River fish.

[@chipsammich2078]

Txn Tom That's the dumbest thing I've heard so far this year.. Congrats..

[@2idiotsfishing378]

Txn Tom any professional catfisherman will tell you keep the medium sized ones. You do not want to keep bigger ones. You need to look up selective harvest
