I really appreciate the way you break down points you’re fishing and the speed you’re doing it. I don’t know of too many other YT catfish guys that do that. Thanks for the content and the lesson!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for your support. Yeah I really have no secrets when it comes to that. I just like to help where I can.

[@bjcoutdoors]

Awesome video brother. Some dang good blues and a flathead to top it off. Enjoyed it👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you brother. I appreciate that.

[@PopPopJoe]

Nice day thanks for sharing!!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for watching. Means alot.

[@4digitfishing]

What an awesome bonus fish to end the video. I don't catch many flatheads, but want to learn to fish for them since there's a river full of them near me.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah they are one of my favorite fish to catch.

[@EastTennesseeWhiskers]

Great video ole boy.

[@trinityoutdoors]

[@mickaburkhart14]

[@Netacat51]

I like watching your videos. Keep it coming. Weigh a big one sometimes

[@cattucky7297]

😂 say what they like But Hot clear bluebird skies that melt u N burn u Our my best days 😂 Not the cloudy Cool perfect overcast no wind Days Thnx for sharing👊

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was definitely clear and hot. Like you I prefer the cloudy cool days lol.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Umbrella and a fan weather. More to come. I hate lugging an extra battery and stuff on the boat, but worth it.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah last year was brutal. So not gonna go through that again lol.

[@michaelknight9112]

Man awesome lesson today going to try that method for hooking heads

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I've noticed for me anyway that I get better hook ups.

[@SteveRaymond-sk9tk]

great video as always ! One of these days im sneaking over that way and be the designated net man !😀

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 some days I could sure use one.

[@SteveRaymond-sk9tk]

@@mickaburkhart14 anytime lol

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Well Done Micka. Your fish would win all of the tournaments over here at Watts Bar. I've had the worst start to a season ever, nothing over 30. Past few years, way too many people keeping fish, even the big ones. Jugs everywhere. :( Good to see you catching some dandy cats.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I hate to hear that. I hope people start to realize what they are doing to the fishery.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

I have to agree with you. I have noticed the exact same issues on Wheeler Reservoir. I haven't been able to go out at all this year due to back surgery, but the last few years I have noticed a large increase in jugs (especially lost or abandoned jugs) and way more guys showing off the 30-50lb fish at the ramp. Forget any other issue, I just don't think catfish over about 10lb taste anywhere near as good as the smaller ones, not to mention how many chemicals those bigger fish have had time to build up in there systems.

[@OverlandAddiction]

i zip tie little double bells on the end of my poles and i never miss a bite✊✊

[@RiverJunkie]

Good stuff Micka, enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking us along!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I appreciate your support.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Always enjoy your videos. Gotta get the algorithm to push you to more fishermen.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I'm doing what I can on that. I know it just takes time.

[@robertwoodward388]

I like your video's awesome job keep up the get job

[@fredziffel3443]

@10:00 it could be coincidence... I believe it's a preference. Some days I want sweet tea... Some days I want a cold beer !😅 A GREAT DAY for some GREAT FISHIN !

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you. Yeah your probably right.

[@ronaldburnett3078]

Get it done brother good video as always I’m getting some of those rod keepers you have it’s cool idea and also some guys flipped a jet ski on my lake and lost a bunch of rods and reels that were bundled together so yep anything can happen

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah I almost lost two running down the river and hit some wake from another boat. So ever since then I always run them.

[@OverlandAddiction]

i use thoes little cheap double bells on springs that have plastic screw type clamps that arent verry good but i put small zip ties around pole and tighten them🤣 havent lost one in yrs

[@stevewilson7146]

What river do you mainly fish? And thank you for your videos very helpful stay safe PEACE from Dayton Ohio PEACE ✌

[@mickaburkhart14]

I typically fish the Cumberland river. Thank you for your support.

[@robertwoodward388]

What kinda of net is that I like it

[@mickaburkhart14]

It is the net Madkatz has. It's a pretty good size net.

[@raydalton1110]

cool catches bro, I clicked on your link for the hooks you use, are they same hooks your using in this video... "Catfish Hybrid Circle Hooks | TripleThreat" ? ? If, so what size you using 8/0 or 10/0 ? also when i buy these should i use the snell knot ? i fish on the bank with rods in rod holders and what I do is when the rod bends down for a bite i just lift up fast and start reeling if thats the right way.... also we use cut pieces of eels and do good on blues

[@RiverJunkie]

I think he runs the 10/0. They are good hooks.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yep the exact hooks I use. I get them in the 10/0. Seems to be the perfect size for me. But you can definitely play with the 8/0 and see which is best for you. Yes a snell knot is going to be the ticket. How you set the hook sounds like it's a perfect technique. The great thing about them hooks you can yank them, reel down or slowly pull back on em.
