Snagging Asian Carp In The Spillway And The Hooks You Need For Snagging

[@zilla5142]

I know exactly where you at. I worked at the chemical plant right there by spillway for 25years. Cool video. 👍

[@JDSFML]

We use to take them and bleed them into a 5 gal pale then cut the meat off and cubed it up and soak it in the blood. Makes great catfish bait for channels and blues. But no the state i live in wont let us use them anymore. Some bean counter decided that using them for cut bait will cause them to spread into other waters.

I love snaggin its a big adrenalin rush when you pull hard and feels like you hit a brick wall down there,, best feeling in the world !!

[@Meditation409]

Those Asian carp are actually delicious! Ive eaten a lot of them now. 💯❤️

[@viclop912]

Carp are supposed to be shit fish, they have to many bones

[@Meditation409]

The Asian Carp are what we call them in the United States. The real name of them is now Copi. But they are not directly related to the common carp most folks think of.

[@viclop912]

@@Meditation409 o ok I wasn't aware, I've only caught common carp and grass garp, I wasn't aware that they weren't related to the normal type of carp. Thanks for the information.

Tip for snagging.. what I do is just a steady retrieve kinda slow kinda fast you will run into them once u feel it move the end of the line.. set the hook as hard as u can you will tell if it's on or not

[@joshwagner8468]

Yeah you right. Yeah you right. Mr. Hood. Great catch guys

[@robertjanko6709]

Now that is a big piece of meat! Best for fishballs. You can feed a whole family with just one of these asian carps.

Nice one can't wIt to see you on the lake

[@judithschwalb3846]

So good to see you back in Norco!!! Dang it, wish I had known. I live in Norco!!

[@Beadfishing]

You should try rigging a single octopus hook, use a 4/0, snell that to your mainline and then run a 2 oz lead about 30 inches below your snelled hook. Single hook gets better hook ups than a treble does. This is speaking from experience Run a baitcasting setup, use 50lb braid. Best carp setup

[@brandonedwards9812]

I was using a #5 treble, biggest legal for Iowa, with a jig head on bottom. Literally throwing onto piles of carp.

[@saltrock9642]

Mornin M.Hood! 🙂

[@reelingwithrobby]

Fished the river next to the spillway not too long ago and caught nothing but rebar Lol

[@PlatypusRoll]

How do you not snag everything else on the bottom? Is there a trick to not snagging every log and rock in the way?

[@johnwatson1433]

Explains really well

[@RiggedPFA]

Good video 👍👍 Haven’t been to the spillway in a really long time

[@richardcoleman9645]

Done this a few times. Better if you tie the weight directly next to the top of the hook. Near the eyelet of the hook. We made ours with extra lead under the eyelet around the hooks. But not down to far.

[@luxnox9303]

Man! The water has been so low around here lately, the Mississippi is super low too.

[@richardcoleman9645]

Take the guts too. Great catfish bait guys. If not, use it to chum the water next to where your fishing.

[@ExploreTheOutdoorsWithDerf]

Nice. I got a box of 8/0 from basspro. I can't wait to give it a try on the missouri river later this month. Where did you get the 10/0 and 12/0?

[@derekstine937]

[@rondellperry8320]

Hey Mark Check out the one I snagged on my channel over 4FT Long. 83LBS and those are SILVER Carp you guys caught again I say to you I'm glad you are feeling much better from that food poisoning episode nice recovery 👍🏿

[@Chozen98]

Isn’t snagging with treble hooks illegal? I’m in Indiana btw

[@lennygid8452]

you know as crazy as it may sound you should catch bleed and clean one of these fillets of the silver carp ,and do a catch and cook , it is in no way bad to eat according to some chefs that have tried them , but i would love your own honest opinion , stay well

[@jamestboehm6450]

That is a pile of catfish bait. But it is also two that wont reproduce.

[@benrusso4591]

They don't want them to reproduce, they're invasive

[@freshnorthwest6756]

we are allowed to snag King Salmon where i live, snag a 45lbs King in the tail its gonna be a LONG fight lol... Did u filet that fish while it was still alive??

[@hugoresendez7834]

what size treble hook you used?

[@nachokid]

12/0

[@rodneywhiting4049]

You don’t take any home to eat?

[@zyxwfish]

I think there are ways to get them to actually bite hook bait.

[@raintees5049]

There filter feeders.

[@upyoursassmonkey]

I've seen Russian videos were they catch them using bait. They call the fish tolstolobik, but I don't speak Russian so I can't figure out what bait most of them use.

[@zyxwfish]

@@upyoursassmonkey awesome!

[@upyoursassmonkey]
