[@mikecannon6378]

Dude you were fired up today!!!!

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Dang Dieter you sure handled that cove like a champ,nice fish .hope new boat works out for ya.. great video.👍

[@geraldlathan2355]

Always enjoy your video. Good fish

[@djcrisp4889]

Man what a flurry of fish! Great job!

[@floydandcarlahampton2846]

Love my old 83 model deep v lund..nice fish

[@larryhobbs8769]

Good one Dieter. Look like a Chinese fire drill. What model Lund you fishing out of? How long is it. Looks roomy. Thanks

[@robertmceuen3630]

I know what you mean with that round ball handle. My Shimano Miravel came with one. Immediately on gripping it, I loved the round ball. Never felt one before. Great video and great cats. Thanks.

[@flatpicker75]

Awesome vid! I hate that the fall cat and crappie bite are both prime at the same time...choices. You ever thought of doing a show on High Rock?

[@smithfamilyfishingadventur3212]

That is the stuff dreams are made of!

[@ab513x]

Hey dieter you should try out pro line monster blue crab baits, has been slaying the big fish, just soak in chicken or shrimp for 24 hours

[@mikedelay7137]

Hi Dieter, I love the videos. I have a question for you. We have a canyon reservoir with channel and flathead catfish. When fishing the old river channel in 70ft of water, can you catch fish dragging the bottom at that depth? Thanks in advance for your time 😊

[@DieterMelhorn]

I would be shallower, on the edges.....

[@brilliantfishingnc]

Fall is my favorite time to fish 🎣

[@koreywilliams4570]

I can't seem to find any cat bank fishing the lake. I managed to get 3 good sized ones so I know there are some in there. Ive tried dough bait, live bait and cut bait. Nothing seems to be working at all. Last weekend I got a bass on a live bluegill I was fishing the bottom on my cat rig.

[@dudethibodeaux2889]

What kind of trolling motor is that? I'm in the market for 1 and I haven't seen 1 of those yet. Thank for the video sir. 😊

[@mirta19422]

Not just a reel handle its a fidget spinner for when the fish are not bitingj.

[@perseusbeatkraken]

Just watched a friend pull a fat 60# blue at about 9am!! Fall is upon us gentlemen

[@jghillstudio1857]

Wreckers or checkers with this one….great info, great work out for rod management on new boat…keep pounding brotha!

[@Quabee63]

Hi Dieter! Can you please relay the rod, reel & line combo you were using and made mention of. I can't quite pick it up. Cheers~

[@DieterMelhorn]

Big Cat Fever rods…medium light drifting rods Ancient Mariner reels Ande Monster monofilament line and leader

[@timothymcvay7286]

Awesome video capt

[@jimsmith-i3r]

Great video

[@H1m0thy101]

Hey, any tips on fishing the mississippi this time of the year? Specifically near st. louis, thank you so much and love the content!

[@DieterMelhorn]

I’ve NEVER fished there, so my advice is useless! 😜

[@H1m0thy101]

@@DieterMelhorn You oughta try and make it over here sometime, there are 100+ pounders caught frequently. Regardless, thank you for the reply and wish you the best of luck with your endeavors!

[@paulstuartwilson485]

Raining here in the Mighty Razorback this morning. When it stops, I'll be heading to the bank of Lake Ouachita for some catfish and see how it goes. 👍🇺🇸

[@cliff_rogers7919]

Woo Pig Soooiie. I'll be a couple hours south of you on the Ouachita river outside of Eldorado if the rain quits here.

[@joerob3449]

Central Arkansas river here! Glad it’s finally raining!

[@JetTurner-d4x]

You missed a bite at 5:00

[@JetTurner-d4x]

I saw that too

[@DieterMelhorn]

Y’all were paying attention!!!

[@papad2752]

Hello, Dieter, I'm a new subscriber and was just curious... I see you like Circle style hooks, can I ask what your views are on Kahle style hooks?? Thanks.

[@DieterMelhorn]

Here my video on the topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6qWmnx3edaAm9Esi=5j6uchGOlaYphRz9

[@catlifeoutdoors6369]

You’ll love the deep v the more time you spend in it.

[@kencleg7721]

Probably rides better than my flat bottom but our waters are super low here in Texas those 20’ are launched elsewhere mine w a 60 yam my draft is 5-6” at most w motor up

[@Angrybird53593]

Are you fishing a Santee rig?

[@duaneleach652]

Would you recommend Andy on spinning gear.

[@DieterMelhorn]

Ande is great for spinning or conventional reels….

[@davidmyers1671]

It's been weird here in Central Illinois. I always catch channel cat at this one lake. Now I haven't even got a bite for two weeks. What gives?

[@LovingDeantheGodMachine333]

Kinda been like that in some my river spots in southwest Pennsylvania. Best advice is just trying all kinds of different tactics. Cause this kinda the transition period of the season so what was getting bite before might not get bite rn

[@charlescrenshaw7266]

I’m in Wisconsin catfish suck these year do you think fall be better

[@kevinthornton8874]

I might have missed it, but what is the planar boards used for, that you are taking off the line when reeling in a fish? Sorry if thats a dumb question.

[@waynevaughan2781]

Planer boards are used to spread your lines out away from the boat. They are designed to pull outward as the boat moves. This allows you to cover more area.

[@MikeBoyette-jc4xx]

😂 how long should you set a one spot before you move when fishing for blue fish

[@tylerfite8660]

Do you happen to know what the water temps were? wasn’t sure if i missed you saying it or not ?

[@jeffreylankford6240]

You live on lake Norman what’s the biggest Catfish that you know of that’s been caught there ?

[@dboyMMA7100]

85 pounds I think

[@LGB120]

Still trying to catch my first catfish

[@Cosigner22]

Counting fish is usually like counting beer

[@jasonh.8362]

Useless!😂

[@mikecannon6378]

You gonna stick with the Lund for Guiding?

[@DieterMelhorn]

Depends on the number of people, and where we are fishing. There is a place for both boats. The other day when the wind was blowing 19 sustained, with white caps, the Lund was the ticket….😆😆😆🤣

[@joedarden2276]

Ya We Fishing

[@dboyMMA7100]

That reel is an alibaba rebranded Sougayilang. Lol

[@the420xtc]

nice thx

[@georgemccart5783]

Nice

[@jimkindle3563]

👊💪👍

[@kennethelliott1537]

How long does your chicken breast lasts before you trash it

[@DieterMelhorn]

30-45 minutes with no bites….

[@kennethelliott1537]

I meant before you throw the bag of chicken away

[@kennethelliott1537]

I’m talking about your bag of chicken. How many days do you use the same chicken before it goes bad enough to where you won’t use it and change it out to newer chicken. I use chicken breast all the time.

[@DieterMelhorn]

@@kennethelliott1537 maybe two days. A chicken breast will usually get me through one trip fishing.

[@kennethelliott1537]

@@DieterMelhorn Thank You for your time. I know you’re a busy man. By the way I Love your videos

[@charlescrenshaw7266]

Why the catfish won’t bite chicken here waste money 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@joerob3449]

I have only caught blue cats on chicken do you have blue cats there? If not that may be the problem

[@charlescrenshaw7266]

Don’t think so

[@terenceparrish6292]
