This Bank Fishing Rig Catches Catfish!!!

Discover the ultimate bank fishing rig for catfishing in this video! Join me as I reveal my most successful setup, featuring a robust leader line, oversized circle hook, reliable barrel swivel, and your preferred sinker rig. With larger hooks, we ensure maximum bait penetration for powerful casts, while a short leader enhances casting distance. Quality gear not only facilitates landing big catches but also amplifies the thrill of bank fishing. With my boat temporarily out of commission due to a malfunctioning trolling motor, I seized the opportunity to make the most of shore fishing. Dive into the world of catfishing and elevate your bank fishing game with this winning rig!

Thanks for some bank fishing action, Billy. Since Catfish Dave has totally abandoned his original core followers, good bank fishing action is tougher to come by.

Nice to see a bank fishing video for catfish, hope its first of many.

[@bigbear1499]

[@williamcornelison4721]

Being I don't use of a boat, you are my go to guy also.....

[@ratoneJR]

nice

[@buckreynolds1779]

HOw long are your poles ? Went bank fishing yesterday and realize my 7.6 rods for my boat are not long enough. thanks for video

[@coltonwalsh9974]

What is the reason for a snell instead of polymer on the hook

[@TNRVG]

The Snell adds a "trigger" action to the hook because of the straight eye.

How was the head when you tried it???😂😂😂😂😂

[@TNRVG]

Watch the full video to see!

[@gregorypeck37]

@fishingwithbilly I definitely did, buddy. I am surprised no fish bit when it got dark. It's all good, they will start feeding more with the weather warming up, since it's in more shallow, they gotta come out their deep winter holes. Good luck bud on your next adventure

That is the best sound in the world - when that fish is runnin!

[@jons868]

Look like a channel

[@TNRVG]

The bottom fin is a razor blade so its a Blue. Channels are round.

[@gailjohnson3544]

I could never understand how you could stand so far from your fishing pole or not even having anything supporting it so the fish wouldn't pull your rod in the water

[@TNRVG]

That is what the bait runner is for. Fish picks up and runs with bait. I grab pole, lock it down, run to set hook. Although I really didn’t do that here.

[@brodyburkett3740]

That blue was at least 7 pounds

[@TNRVG]

Still fun to catch!

[@brodyburkett3740]

@@TNRVG absolutely. Great catch sir

[@davidgarcia9808]

I have notice you don't use rod holders very much, just lay the rods on the ground why is that??

[@TNRVG]

It’s because I am using the bait runners. When they run with it I lock it down and run like some shark fishermen do (and Catfish Dave). I really did a bad hook set here. The “double action” hooks forgive you on bad hook sets.

Thanks@@TNRVG

[@AltonMiller23]

Dude, move your camera closer to the action.

I Ruther bank fish thin be in a boat

[@TNRVG]

I like having a boat so I can get away from it all. I personally only know of 1 quiet bank spot and its an hour away from me in the mountains.
