My New Creek Fishing Adventure after losing 100lbs.

A new look at a bank fishing adventure 11 months after my last "back to my roots bank fishing" video when I didn't think I would make it out of there. Thank the Lord for new beginnings. Eat right and live healthily. For those who didn't see the first one. the Fat version • Old school river bank ...
I started a different channel on how I lose my weight and what to cook for losing weight here if you are interested. / @gettinghealthynow3837

Way to go Steve, great to see you again. You brought back my childhood.

[@jamestboehm6450]

Dang Steve, you handled that a bunch better than the last time you took that expedition. Very impressive what you have accomplished. Congrats

[@bradreynoldsbtcatfishingad7656]

Love the new rod holder designs. Lol. Congratulations on the weight loss and continued success of the fitness journey.

[@randywilson6869]

My friend and I use to do the creeks. We was about 7 to 12 doing all the time. We would have a campfire and u can take those little catfish down to the water and cut its head off gut it and wash it off. The mix u up some mud then put it all around the fish and toss it in the coals till u notice the mud is drie. Get it out of the fire and just tap on the mud and it all just comes off with the skin. U do need to take salt with u

[@williamcornelison4721]

Finally got to go fishing a bit with a buddy of mine...... Fished three hours and just got one bite, which my buddy grabbed my rod to set the hook. He didn't know I had a circle hook on my leader and jerked the rod..... Fish held onto the bait all the way to the bank before just letting go of the bait.... I couldn't get upset because he didn't know...... But the excitement of finally getting a bit on my new catfish rig was fun..... Still have plenty of time to put some in the freezer...

[@marshallgeorge3819]

Those 8-10" channel catfish have zapped me more times than I can recall. Those spines are sharp and strong.

[@zipchtkdn7804]

I love using news old blue Tika catfish baitrunner open face reels for that kind of creeke fishing and when they take off just lift up and turn the handle

[@HooksandHammocks]

Happy 4th of July Steve! Billy Goat Mode ENGAGED!

[@mailliw75]

100lbs thats impressive. Would love to hear more about that journey. I've cut out soda and fast food and trying sugar bits it's dang hard.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

i cut out sugar and bread and potatoes, and ate nothing but real food that comes from nature, like broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbage etc.and only ate about 1000-1200 cal a day. It took about 10 months to lose 100 lbs. good luck and thanks for stopping by to leave a comment

[@kevinwebster688]

Thank you, you also got myself starting on a weight loss journey and it was needed! Just making some changes helps a lot!

[@angelasheppard7197]

Happy 4th. Be safe. So proud of you. Definitely an inspiration.

[@toddworman4428]

We had a button factory close to where I live and we used to find big piles of clam shells with button holes drilled out of them. Of course that factory has long sensed closed but it is still a memory

[@earniederboven5100]

Heck yea steve great video..happy 4th to u

[@justincase6954]

Looking good, prolly feeling good, so that's good 👍

[@bluecollarfishingbrothers1028]

You look great!! Its a lot if work bank fishing!! More than just dropping your boat in! Makes you appreciate your boat, hahahahaha

[@obijohnkenobi4154]

I was wondering if you'd eventually venture back down there - "returning to the scene of the crime" in a way You maneuvered it easier as a skinny dude! 😀

[@tacobeller5941]

Man I hate finding throw lines everywhere! That's not fishing it's cheating!

[@michaelh7429]

Praise God Steve

[@a1duzit]

You know you have most people that would want to meet a movie star or a singer or rapper. Not me Steve Douglas, Chad Ferguson and all those guys that's who I want to meet. I live in Fort Worth so I should have met Chad by now

[@wienerdoggin74]

What is that in the log pile at 4:42 that looks like a giant jaw bone with teeth?

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

cow jaw bone

[@COYOTE5053]

So proud of you for losing the weight, thank you for sharing your knowledge on fishing 👍

[@sergioramirez3328]

[@Zbo59]

Creek fishing is always a great way to get back to basics and have an enjoyable time! You're story to weight loss ans better health is inspiring sir!

[@flippindocks8183]

Steve, I greatly enjoyed this. Yes, it's good to "be a kid again" and escape all the stresses of adulthood sometimes. Thanks for taking us along.

[@doubled3983]

Hello from Oklahoma! Hey who's that skinny guy down there on the creek? Good job brother!👍👍 I've been surprised by some pretty big fish in places like that. Good luck! Thanks for all You do! God Bless!

[@reedmitchell6716]

Great Job again. And Congratulations on your second chance at a healthy lifestyle. Us catfishermen need you.

[@HolyFire333]

Great video reminds me of my childhood days fishing the tributaries along the Ohio river in Kentucky, Ohio and almost heaven West Virginia 🤠

[@rogeramos5810]

Great video, l mix some dried cattail seed head in stink bait, the little fibers helps keep it on your hook or plastic worm better

[@seamurda100]

I really like the bank videos. Not enough youtubers do them.

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! I liked your video. I wish you good mood and creative success👌👍🌿

[@terrycrowe6998]

Looks like the lower jaw of a dinosaur at 4:42.

[@SlingNBaits]

My Favorite Catfisherman! Great video Mr. Douglas and thank you taking us along for the adventure!! I really enjoyed watching this video and I'm glad to see you're doing well sir! Take care friend & God Bless! With all my love & respect, - Cecil "Mr.Slingnbaits"

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

Thanks for watching Cecil

[@thesteadfastangler6724]

Moving across them logs nimble like a cat! Looking great brother, inspiring me to get back in shape myself.

[@buckeyebass]

Glad to see you in better health bud can't wait to see what you do with your new found freedom bud

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Yeah those ol stinging nettles will eat you up! And if you're where I think you're at, you might oughta look out for cottonmouths and copperheads, cause they are some around that part of KY, if that's part of the rolling fork then there is! But theys some pretty good flatheads in that little ol river and decent channels too! Anyways yeah you did a lot better this time than last didn't ya? After dropping that much weight everything gets easier don't it?! Glad you're doing alright bud! Next time you go down there you oughta have a couple pieces of livebait, like a couple of medium sized bluegills or green sunfish would be better, I'd just about guarantee you'd get into a flathead or maybe even a purty good channel cat!

[@TwiztedFishingTv]

That's why I go, it's freedom. I never made much money in my life because I have always been concerned with that feeling you get when your out there. I'm addicted. Besides my family that freedom is all I care about, everything I do is to put me outside.

[@Mikeypaulslingshots]

Wow buddy every video you look and sound better and better! thank you for sharing your life tips with us. Your the man!

[@BobcatOutdoors]

I see you made you some Rod Holders 🤣 🎋 Steve trips like this are good for the soul, thank you for sharing it with us!

[@PalmettoCats]

Looking good! Live all the camera work.

[@chipsammich2078]

I seen you take that first stick down.. My first thought was spiderweb stick but I quickly realized I was wrong lol..

[@geoffhenson9913]

You can climb like Spider-Man now. Congratulations on the new you. I hope that Itchweed doesn’t cause and Spidertingling.

[@joshuapeters4892]

Steve Douglas like your fishing videos one day you should come to Louisiana and fish and try some Cajun food like gumbo étouffée and crawfish during the spring time

[@Justdontreplybro]

Here in indiana muscles are illegal to use but where I grew up in FL it's very much legal. Can reach down almost anywhere pull up a handful, ever in FL hit the econ or st johns River give em a try shellcracker, catfish love em down there

[@joanieelliott-gray3679]

Maybe you would have caught more if you didn't have people driving by in service trucks blowing their air horn .😁

[@davidbeeler6379]

Hey Steve they are good bait. And good to eat. Just don't see them much now days. Im 59 ill be 60 in October grew up walking rolling fork river. Still do and yes look for things in log jams. Great video thanks for bringing back some great memories

[@olhippie1]

So good to see you more mobile than you've been in years ! You've got a new lease on life Steve ! I'm thrilled with your progress because it means not only will life be more rewarding for you! But your sharing the adventure with others will be inspirational and rewarding to those who follow your lead !

[@Scott.Farkus]

Here(VA) we can use Freshwater Muscles for bait IF they're native to water we're fishing, but we can't transport them to another water way.

[@robertflint4115]

Heck yeah Steve, putting them legs into 4 wheel drive. Couldn't have done that 100 lbs. ago. I have just started my "New me" and down 24 lbs. Thank you for showing me it's never to late. Rock on sir.

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

congrats keep up the good work

[@raywalsh6580]

Be careful on them creek banks buddy I can't keep my balance like I used to when I was younger I will be 58 Sep.

[@tfred2129]

Boy o boy. If that was South Mississippi, you'd be fighting off skitters and water moccasins

[@olhippie1]

I've been told by a guide at Santee Cooper those Muscles are the secret to why their catfish (blues) grow so fast and big on that animal that is 69 percent protein !

[@ericorange441]

Glad to see you conquer the river with ease this time Steve!! Wjen i was a kid many mnay years ago, we always used mussels for bait below Kentucky and Barkley dam and they were the best and yes they are illegal now.

[@williamheden6794]

If I didn't know better I'd swear that was Wills Creek in Ohio. Thanks for taking me with you.

[@melissaroberts70]

I mudlark every time I fish the creek or river, I make glass fish sculpture with all the broken glass I find.

[@stanleyharris4065]

I was watching your July 3rd video of 2022 and at 4 min43 in the video you are crossing a log and it looks like a giant fossil of a bottom jaw with teeth of a dinosaur it looked like it to me I paused it and looked at it what is that. It looks upside down

[@marshallgeorge3819]

100 pounds! Congratulations Steve - I bet you feel so much better!

[@dalehayslip5008]

Awesome to see you in such good shape jumping around like Spiderman 😜 really enjoyed the video

[@jimmylit]

THANKS , would love to fish with you , but your a long ways fron TEXAS .

[@KoolKatsFishing]

Dam u got your balance back. That's what I want to get to. Way to go Steve u the man. I am so happy for u. I've been watching you for years. U need tonraffle.off a few fishing trips with you! Hell just to get to sit down with you and get to hear all the fish stories u have. Thanks for all u do.

[@zipchtkdn7804]

I used to love fishing this Creek in my old hometown that after the son went down went from catching Creek chubs all day to going on the other side of the creek which was deep over our head I went from the shallow to deep like on a drop off and at dark till 3 hours in the morning you can fill those channel cats and carp just a nibbling on the bait or fingers wrapped around the line and when they run or pack it tighten around the finger it was fun times

[@Angler_bolsel]

*Mantap sobatku sukses selalu dan salam dari Engler Bolsel jangan lupa untuk jalan-jalan juga ke spot saya lihat-lihat straik di sana 🤙🎣🎣🎣 salam dari pemancing Indonesia 🇮🇩*

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

thanks

[@zackmurray6107]

Steve we lived at the creek when we were kids. Cousins from city would visit and that was the first thing they wanted to do. Good place for adventures.

[@jaredbrogden2906]

That’s my kind of fishing mr Steve. That’s where I find peace.

[@randygrenier5834]

Steve we only have channell catfish here in ct. But I would love to fish for blues or flathead you are the best enjoy your 4th of July and God 🙌

[@cornbreadburgess1950]

Hey brother you got it going on now , look like you feal better and any one that can loose weight like that needs to be complemented , Great job and have a wonderful day.

[@olhippie1]

I'm in my 81st year and have been so blessed by my life's focus on health & fittness. Great to see you Steve, enjoying the truth of such a healthy focus!

[@mattcissell6041]

Looks just like salt River, place I fished growing up

[@changeaddresses402]

Welcome back to the old school of fishing. Take it easy out there my friend. Omaha Nebraska support your channel.

[@williamcornelison4721]

Think you might take a battery powdered lawn trimmer to cut a small path....

[@paulr1917]

Great video. The fresh water muscles are cool. Congrats on the weight loss!

[@daveversion2.2]

The way I lost my 100 was via throat cancer. Kudos to you sir for doing it the healthy way!

[@pastorbillyparham]

Billy goat mode lol love it. Grew up with creek fishing and still do it occasionally.

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Look at you, as agile as a mountain ram. That's how we all started out as kids running up and down those Creek banks.

[@tfred2129]

Well growing up in South Mississippi, we would cut our feet as kids all the time on mussels. Those blues sure like them too

[@clydecrump5280]

Gonna start calling you half pint lol.but you exactly right enjoy all of it BIG or small

[@michaelwoods4599]

Trust me I know I had one Jab me putting him back in the water...I throw them in the water now...

[@blackdeath5026]

You are right about getting to smaller fish, when the big ones start losing the fun factor it's time to return to your roots and enjoy just being out whether you catch anything or not

[@someoldmanoutdoors9136]

This was a nice fun video. I'm happy to see you doing so well.

[@chadreil7419]

Steve you inspired me to lose some weight bud. Thanks.

[@berniceglover5811]

God bless you and yours and thanks for all that you do for me and unskilled fisherwoman

[@want2boutdoors274]

You're an inspiration to a lot of us Steve. What bait did you say that was again?

[@dbcooper692]

You look like you have been on the "Keto" diet!!! I guess no more fish fries!!

[@michaeltoby8474]

I have used clams before and had good luck with them. But you are not aloud to use them.

[@madtownangler]

Congrats !!!! I usually take a weed wacker and a loppers down to my parents once a year to get a nice path to the river. I have to leave the last couple feet alone so tubers don't notice a nice path to their road though. We can drive a car down to about 30 yards from the river unless its high.

[@brianboland1646]

Yes sir back to the beginning I started on old cat guy and at a school pond fool of monster 2 lbers 😂

[@martinquintana5837]

Good to see you out there. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. You and your family have a great Happy Independence Day. Aloha from Kansas

[@stevehogan8829]

Steve, what the hell!! Is that a Mammoth Jaw in that log jam? Check it out@ 4:43. May be just an old horse or mule jaw if my perspective is wrong but it is some kind of jaw bone and teeth. @Steve Douglas The Catfish Dude I used to see mussels like that on ElkHorn Creek in Kentucky. Been a long time back, like in the 70's. I'm 75 now so my goat mode is broke. lol

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

It was a cow jaw bone. Goat mode is broke huh? well I'm sure mine going to come to a squeaky stop soon too lol

[@berniceglover5811]

Hey man you are looking fabulous congratulations on the weight loss

[@laserbeam002]

Really enjoyed this post. My most fond memories are of times I spent with my father fishing in small stream, farm ponds and grist mill ponds and catching small fish. We used a cane pole he would cut himself and bait with worms I had dug up. You are looking good. keep up the good work.

[@michaeltoby8474]

You look awesome a hell of a job glad you are back on the creek. Looking good and healthy

[@austin72]

That ain't the same Steve lol congratulations man on the weight loss put the smoke on them

[@thomaskitlica5572]

I live in south Alabama and we use them and they are good for channel cats

[@CrazyT502]

Uh? Excuse me, but what was that with the big teeth? Was that a fossil of some sort? 🙄🤔

[@kennymccall3252]

I'm glad to see you've lost the weight brother it's inspiring to see that and that I can too my goal is for 189 I was 289 close to 300 I'm now 234 so I'm losing it slowly keep up the good work and God Bless brother

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

[@tomw3380]

Glad to see your in so much better shape Steve. That brought back some old memories of fishing the creeks near our house 60 years ago. We mostly caught small yellow bellies but the barbs were the same. As always, thanks for the trip.

[@_sneer_]

You had me for a sec, I thought it was a 100lb catfish you lost
