Your mention of Tilapia reminded me of the story of St.Peter, and the fish that fed the masses ! Seeing the large number in your net, let me imagine how plentiful they may have been in Jesus' time ! Using a cast net in my state, has very specific instructions as to what you may legally catch ! Typical bait fish, and Carp ! Fun to hear your enthusiasm with each cast ! I initially thought I'd be watching some guy pulling up old boots, and garbage ! 🐟 🐠 🐟 🐟 👍😊

You guys have stick fish too ! Yeah I've fished all over Australia and they are pretty much everywhere. 😎👍

[@kombotmarine1304]

Gotta love those fish sticks

[@SuperDaish]

Great videos. You should get a landing matt for when you're handling the bigger ones for the camera shots. Fish care is paramount

[@brucescanlan1162]

I remember living on the west side of downtown Houston getting off work and using Kroger breakfast sausage as bait fishing the canal that ran by Memorial Drive. I have caught many catfish and gar. Fishing was a big stress reliever.

[@menow7851]

FYI- friend in Houston found a honey hole. Lots of fish. But the runoff of a sewer plant and factories make the fish full of toxins. Don't eat them. PS- my friend ate many if these fish and he now has several serious medical problems.

[@brucescanlan1162]

@@menow7851 I agree as I would never eat anything from bayous. However, I had a lease manager on my apartment from Mexico who asked me to give him anything I caught, even a carp.

Most of them are algae eaters or at least omnivorous so there's lots of food. The bass eat the bluegills and small tilapia.

[@itztombz4159]

Please send me the link on where you got this cast net from.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I just bought it at an Academy Sports and Outdoors

[@menow7851]

Try Walmart or any sporting goods store. Because of the weights on it, make sure you have enough muscle strength to throw it far. Try the weight in the store, which is why I didn't recommend Amazon to purchase. Folks I know use cast net for free bait for line fishing for big fish. Good Luck!!

[@melissaclifford8398]

Since they’re invasive, why not keep the tilapia?

[@tw-ym8zr]

are those the same tilapias you get at the supermarket?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Same species, yeah

[@allenwalker5031]

Where is this at?

[@professionalbullshit1767]

Are those Buffalo fish a type of carp? Edible?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

They are a type of sucker and share physical similarities to carp. I've not heard of anyone eating them.

[@johnanthony2545]

Is it leagal to throw such a large net in fresh water. I’m thinking not here in Florida

[@heather2418]

In Texas I believe it's under 14 ft net, and only for non game fish on freshwater. Everywhere is different.

[@chitownnemesis2182]

Buffalo carp? They look totally different around here. Never seen a silver one, much less a slopped head one. Around here they are called grass carp.

[@adamjohnson7385]

I believe they are small mouth buffalo. They look like the ones we have in east Tennessee.

[@deerkillersinc1]

The smallmouth buffalo is not a carp at all. Here in Houston we have (native) common carp, (invasive) grass carp, and (native) smallmouth buffalo in all the bayous, though.

Cast nets are great , use 1 myself . Now for the real reason I am here ....... I would not do anyplace like that because of road pollution runoff . Those fish are def contaminated with everything that runs off the rds & yards in the rain . Last resort for a food source . Oh also I watch the lake reports as to which lakes have the worst contaminants & avoid them .

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I strictly do catch and release in the greater Houston area for those exact reasons
