Locating and Catching the Giant American Catfish

[@spessimyn1]

So glad to see you fishing again uncle steve! Im sold on the quality of every piece of gear on your boat, your net and rod both didn't flinch. Ill be down this summer to buy gear from you in person.

[@ParkerPursuits]

That’s saying something when a cat makes Steve Douglas shake! Absolutely a giant blue congratulations!

[@Bcviper201]

Was awesome meeting you today. Love the videos glad ya doing better health is most important. Be safe and keep up the awesome videos 💯

[@jmc442]

glad to see the King of catfishing make another , thanks Steve

[@stevetackett581]

I’m glad you picked him up, it really showed how massive that cat was!

[@mikecha1957]

Heck yeah Steve as long as I've been watching you it never gets old my friend. Very nicely done.

[@daniels4227]

You never disappoint, what a great trip. Good to see you found time to get out!!

[@mrbungle42023]

This is why we come to you for catfishing advice. Well done Steve!

[@stillwater62]

What a Blue! I am glad you caught that monster, and wish you could have landed that second monster. I am telling you, you need to write a book. Future catfishermen will sing your praises as long as their are big catfish to catch, and men to catch them. Just another fantastic video, thank your wife for the great job she has done in recording your adventures over the years. She is a Pearl of great price.

[@robertpowell1743]

this is why i started catfishing i dont get this type of adrenaline from any other freshwater fish. your channel is what got me started 6 years ago and ive been a cat addict since cheers man what a fish!!!!!!!!!!

[@peterderidder9922]

OMG that first fish was gigantic ! He was also verry dark... he was easely between 40 and 50 kilo. A real monster Steve ! nice work from you ! I'am thankfull you shared this vid with us ! So thank you verry much steve !.

[@BillieRight1]

You have made a great video that can make those watching get excited watching you pull that monster in. Monster Rod Holders and Monster Rods are well named. That monster catfish sure gave you an adrenaline rush! WOW!!!

[@joebuchanan9563]

I just love it. As an old farm boy from Illinois, I'm used to fishing creeks & ponds. To have a chance at big blues and flat heads on the Tennessee River would be a dream come true. I guess you catch so many smaller blues that you don't bother filleting the one I saw you catching in this video. You're making me hungry for catfish!

[@fishingwithvance]

Wow Steve. That was a freakin horse. So great man. Great stuff. Congrats. Fish on!

[@wileysanders5333]

You is one of the best teachers and fishermen I learn a lot that I learned it help me a lot and I have been catching more fish keep up the good work 💯

[@kristopherverrett9108]

Best part of the video is your reaction and excitement. Pretty cool

[@nickperkins5453]

I hope you are able to make time and have more of these awesome videos!! I enjoyed them all thanks for posting and stay safe!

[@fishinwithbigmike2674]

That excitement is the reason y we do what we do. Awesome video Steve!!!

[@willo.6281]

Holy catfish! Congrats Steve, that fish was a giant for sure.

[@donniedickerson8077]

Good One,, If That First Fish Wasn't 💯 there's not one in the pond you can bet on that , Ya had a Good Day Out For Sure , Thanks For Taking Us Along ,, Tight Lines To Ya 🦈🎣👀

[@ryanhickenbottom2811]

Love to watch you fish Steve thanks for the helpful information and congratulations on your great fish

[@countryboycatfishing2293]

So great to see you out fishing again. I really miss watching you

[@rabidfan9497]

Glad to see out fishing regularly again for those of us who can’t.

[@philiph1802]

I am so thankful for you to catch this fish. I don't say that much because of course I want to catch it but if not me I'm so glad it was you. I bought my first four monster rod holders and couldn't be happier with the product. The brackets they came with for my boat worked perfectly.

[@williamhenley44289]

Awesome video gonna fish the Missouri River this spring and summer gonna take all the lessons in all the videos and apply them to that stretch of water

[@bava01]

Steve Douglas, you have made some amazing content and I personally have learned a lot that I am now passing down to my boys. Thank you for another great video and I hope to land a monster lack that sooner than later. Here in Oklahoma we get big blue and flatheads, but not like that one.

[@TheWeekendAngler]

Steve, that is one beautiful fish! Congratulations! Little known fact, the scale manufacturers use Steve's arms to calibrate their scales. :-)

[@markgrant654]

Your Monsters are definitely real. That was an Awesome Fish. Keep em coming Boss!!!

[@ryant4915]

Always on the big fish Steve. Great to see you back on the water. Hell of a fish!

[@PalmettoCats]

Steve, I almost bought you a scale, but I want to make sure you'd like it. I donate one just so WE will know how big those fish are. OHHHHH MERCY!!!

[@kristopherverrett9108]

I’ll grab one this weekend if you can get it to him! Let me know.

[@whiskersnstripes1049]

[@gsanchez7154]

[@jerrydoyleenglandengland5961]

I've said it from the start...YOU ARE THE MAN...!!!!! GREAT VIDEO.

[@isaiahboren5652]

I'd love to see you bank fish a spillway, I've always bankfished ponds and in my area pull out 10-15 sometimes 17-18 pound channel cats. But bullheads on a spillway would be an amazing video. I love your channel. Have been subscribed for 3 or 4 years now. I appreciate every video! Thank you

[@grdray2138]

Great video Steve. Awesome fish. That monster is another to be proud of. Thanks for showing.

[@JoshGreenAdventures]

[@billyhoward2200]

[@philliprunge4373]

[@kennymarshall6389]

Great fish Steve , always enjoy watching your videos. Keep em coming.

[@michaelcuellar6619]

💥Awsome Video Steve, Your First Fish Was A Monster....Wow... Keep it Up💥

[@nathanrobinson7741]

I have never caught any catfish over 20 lbs. You give me hope Steve.

[@Coyotes254]

We don't have Blues in Pennsylvania... so I'm always amazed when I see these giants. Huge ! I would have liked to see the other biggin'. Cut another bait and get back after them. Nice job.

[@walkersbigadventures]

That catfish is huge!

[@brittwilkinson8412]

Wow nice one , Steve of all people you should have scales on your boat , great job though !! Really like watching your videos !!

[@myronhigh3527]

Great day on the river buddy! Congrats on the HOG ya caught, and the fight on the BIG'N ya lost! God Bless all!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I’ve Been waiting on this one 👍

[@robertalvarado8653]

Steve Douglas is getting old but he really is a living legend🎣👑

[@jonathanwhite6881]

Nice one, Steve! Like I said before, you are the GOAT!

[@kingscatfishing671]

That's definitely a fish of a lifetime. Both of you did a great job.

[@larryking606]

Steve , A Monster is right ! For a FIRST FISH or last fish ! I have never come close ! It is a shame you didn’t have a scale ! Congratulations

[@lcrecel]

My heart just dropped when you pulled up that line without that fish. I could tell he was a monster, put as they say, that's why they call it fishing and not catching. Great job. Rock on....

[@jeffsmith350]

Loved to know how long he was. Very nice fish.

[@tylerstraub3764]

Steve you’re going to have to setup one of those winch systems like those guys on Wicked Tuna use to get fish in the boat!

[@kristopherverrett9108]

That’s awesome! That tail slap when he came up was great. Great video.

[@goulacat5589]

Awesome job “Catfish Dude”. Great seeing you back on the water. Great also seeing someone who’s respectful of the awesome fish swimming these waters. Returning them promptly to fight again & not just parading them in front of a camera and audience. Your the man Steve!!!

[@garyanddoris6022]

I change line every year then I'm good to go , ive caught nothing no where close as you have my biggest is 51 pounds , but ive caught plenty of them im known as a legend here in Southern Kentucky, also known for making those famous pond monster bank rod holders, but I truly enjoy your channel.....

[@crazylewiemike]

Another Great Video From The Catmaster, Sure Would Have Liked To Layed Eyes. On That Second Big Fish ,A Great Day On The Water For Sure

[@mikehuhman2538]

Wow what a fish! Great job. Like you said nothing better than a fish to make your heart beat! I would say you got that one is a heart attack! Great release.

[@darrelwray4904]
