Destroying Arizona Channel Catfish on the Bobber! (Ft. REEL Fishing Arizona)

We finally made it happen! Jeff Lewis and I got on an awesome bite at Papago ponds here in phoenix Arizona. I was catching them nonstop on the bobber and jeff was getting them on the bottom!
All of these stocked channel catfish were caught on Stryker punch bait. We both had great success. These urban ponds are being stocked here in the valley so be sure and head down to your local one to catch some fish!
Bobber fishing for channel catfish has been something I wanted to do for a while here. So glad I was able to get on them today! Pond catfishing can be tricky especially here in the desert, so don't be afraid to switch things up sometime!

Awesome you’re fishing with Jeff. I watch his channel all the time. Two legends in one spot oh man.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Thank you man it was a great time!

[@darynrussell2898]

Great fishermen

[@TheFishinMagician20]

I appreciate that 👏🏼

[@gnazziog5226]

There is a canal just East of there that is awesome for fishing. You could walk from that pond up the hill and be there. Always had great luck there. Good luck out there.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Sweet! I always wondered about that canal! I appreciate the tips

[@sebastianrios3133]

@@TheFishinMagician20 I just came back from fishing that canal with my dad. We went there like at 6:00 in the morning. The bass and stripers were biting like crazy! If you want to get the most out of those fish, I suggest going at the crack of dawn. They like to feed at that time.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

@@sebastianrios3133 really? That’s awesome I will have to check it out!

Love stryker alpha blood, my go to. Great to see you and Jeff together. Two of my favorite AZ channels.

Heck yeah I been waiting for y'all to fish together salute to both of y'all

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Thanks man 👊🏼 we’ve been planning for a while!

[@joshchilders-fy1pk]

That's what happens when you fish a pond that just got stocked and your in the right spot

[@TheFishinMagician20]

That’s right!

[@user-fm9qq9uk5h]

Where can I find the striker bait you use, I use chicken liver and sometimes hotdogs and it is always hit or miss with it

[@TheFishinMagician20]

They have a website called strykerbait.con and a Facebook group

[@izzysanchez4067]

Thought I would try the stryker bait. Man it was so gooey it was falling off my hook. Doesn't look anything like yours. Do you mix anything with it to make thicker? You guys are very entertaining. Keep up the good work.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Yo that happens sometimes when it’s hot. If you know where to find any cat tails you can add them in there and stir them up and it should stay on better. Every batch is different so you must have got one that was more on the runny side. It happens

[@izzysanchez4067]

@@TheFishinMagician20 I appreciate the quick response and input. Have a good one.

First time seeing your video. I just moved to the area last August and just started learning about local lakes. I would like to meet you sometime and learn about fishing local lakes and canals.

What size treble hook were you using with that bobber?

3 I believe

[@Im2LegitFedEx]

Love the videos as always bro

[@TheFishinMagician20]

My man I appreciate you 🤘🏼

[@CAcatfishing]

It’s funny how people swear catfish are strictly bottom feeders but this video goes to show they can be caught near the surface no problem lol great video.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

I know right! Shows never be afraid to switch it up! Thanks for watching man

[@kimbrigreen950]

Killing it dude! Great to see you and Jeff together. I was gonna go to Desert Breeze on Tuesday, but it looks like Papago instead. I’ll try the same spot to see if they’re still hangin’ out there. I’ll let you know!

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Thanks! Nice! I’m sure it’s been hit hard this weekend but there may be some left 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@DwightManfreddi-uk8gq]

Go ahead to papagos. After this video every numb nut in Phoenix will hit here now. Wont be a fish left in it now. But good luck trying to scrape up one or two.

[@hosgs14]

You ever eat the cats you catch? We need a catch clean cook episode.

[@deeshizzlee]

He actually has a video of a catch and cook in a canal, check it!

It’s in the video, Stryker punch bait

[@cody.chambers.9421]

Took me all morning, but I finally caught two catfish with bread

[@TheFishinMagician20]

Awesome! Good work 👍🏼

[@markhannan2569]

You guys just got struck by Stryker

[@TheFishinMagician20]

indeed!

[@JayJayFromAZ]

He's bleeding pretty bad and puts it backs....Should've kept that fish to consume.

[@TheFishinMagician20]

If they’re released quick then blood coagulates and they he fish are good usually

[@DwightManfreddi-uk8gq]

Jeff just had to go fishing with this BOOB. Very disappointing. Cant we just edit dude out and have a video of Jeff?
