Shallow Water MONSTER Blue Catfish

Join in as we catch a few early cats. Then we have a EPIC BATTLE with a 47# blue anchored in 4 feet of water.

[@edwardlamb803]

You’re a master at multi tasking! Lots of rods/reels, lines, bait, cameras, anchors, and more… I have caught some catfish as a youngster in Missouri & Kansas, but moved North when I came of age. Ended up commercial fishing on the Bearing Sea for many years. Now I’m living down in America, desert Southwest country, no water and of course no fish! But I get to go fishing with you vicariously through the magic of your videos. Thank you sir.

Thank you for the tip on running the boat to far on the bank. I love watching your videos for the info on how you rig your fishing rigs. Just a suggestion. You might do a show on how and why you rig your rigs the way you do. I know it would be hard to do it in the boat. But if you would do it at home in a room, on the porch or in the garage or shop that would be great. You could also make a short video of fishing on a slow day and edit in a rig tip to make it a longer show. In other words I'm looking for all the help I can get. Thanks again.

[@whiskerpigfishing]

Thanks for watching Larry. I appreciate the input and will try to do a better job. I think I forget that there are new people coming in all the time. I seem to error on the side of not wanting to be to repetitive. I may try a rigging and tackle show later this summer. Thanks again for the input it is highly valued and much appreciated.

What state or states allow that many poles in the water!?

SC, GA, Ala, Fla, Ind, Kentucky, La, Nc, Ten, most of the southern states. The fish possession limits are what regulate the impact of the removal of fish. It's not controlled by number rods. Thanks for watching and the comment, Austin.

[@2809jupiterjohn]

Wow. Never get your lines crossed? lol. Here in New Mexico we can only get a 2 rod licence. I've had strikes on both rods at the same time. And even caught 2 trouts on same rod. Have never caught a fish that was to big for my moms pan. With wild fires destroying our wildlife. I gonna check to see if my favorite lake is open yet. And watch more of you. Thanks

[@whiskerpigfishing]

Thanks for watching John. It is unlimited rods here in SC on a boat. I get them tangled from time to time. Tight lines

[@shersboy5181]

I like his videos because fishing is really just about having fun and he definitely seems to encapsulate that. The thing that kills me is how many rods this state allows a person to use. Takes a lot of the intricacies of being a really good fisherman out. You really don't have to figure out where the fish might be when you can just throw 1000 rods in at once. I'll never understand why that is legal so I'll just chalk that up to another example of the South being the South.

[@whiskerpigfishing]

Thanks for watching

[@stevenhall9349]

[@lesterwallis6617]

sir i saw that you use a lot of bait cast reels how do you keep from bird nesting them

[@whiskerpigfishing]

I have been fishing with them for 55 years. The only real way is to cast them. When I bass fished I casted in the yard around an hour every day I didn't fish. Don't get discouraged cast 20 and 30 feet until you learn.

[@TylersDreams00]

Question why did you release the bigger cat??

[@whiskerpigfishing]

Thanks for watching. I don't keep the larger fish or very many of the small ones. You can only use so much fish. I fish multiple days a week. I don't usually keep a cat over 10# unless it's mortally wounded because our fish spend a lot of time buried in the lake bottom. If you think of where the pollutants settle it's in the lake bottom. A catfish's whole body is like a tounge. My opinion is that they absorb some of these pollutants through there skin. Keep in mind I am not a scientist or claim to be one. The other reason is there are not as many fish here over 30# and there are multiple 1000's smaller fish. The natural selection process leads me to try and protect the genetics of the ones that survive to be full beard pigs 🐷🐗🐷. But to each their own. If you harvest a fish through legal means then it's your fish to do as you please. Just my opinion have a blessed day.
