[@frankweathersbee2553]

Beautiful country! One of my best fishing buddies moved to Tennessee last year the river photos he sends me are great.

[@FishinNStuff]

I really like that cutting board , you know you don't see many 10 year olds that can guess a fishes weight with in 2 lbs while its still in the water . And he's a good camera man , really good camera man . Most adults have problems holding the camera that smooth . I might need too borrow him haha

[@omaraldana752]

[@zachwalls461]

Spencer from river citified made a good quote. If you're catching eater channel cats its likely a monster flathead probably isn't there cuz they will munch

[@REELFishingArizona]

That was a good day fishing. We don't have blue catfish around phoenix, I wish we did !!

[@codyrobison6817]

[@rustysetser9754]

By the way your camera man does a good job for any age 😉 great video sir!

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Great Video Buddy! I wish the Fox River had structure under the water. Other then a VERY small amount of rocks and very small amount of timber on the sides it's a desert. Happy Fishing!

[@kentuckycatmanoutdooradven4643]

Great video brother ya need to come up to ky one day soon!!!!

[@BUBS_HD]

Hagen get ya some off road crocs, I swear you'll love em! Cabelas n Bass Pro put em on sale alot for bout $20 n they have a thicker sole with great traction. Check em out, you won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work like you always do buddy and God bless you and your family.

[@BUBS_HD]

@Tsunauticus III I've been wearing them for 8 years now daily with no problems. My job requires that we shower out to remove any possible contaminants so they're convenient for that.

[@CaptnScott]

Dam dude I think your my southern doppelganger.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I had to google what the meaning of the word was😂thanks for watching

[@ronaldthomas7918]

The things about fishing is One more cast You never want to leave

[@danielcannaday2207]

Good video man first time I've seen your channel I'll be checking it out again I love catfishing and like seeing kids out their learning and fishing towe don't have any really good catfishing close by me but I'm blessed that I have the lower James River about 3 hour drive away so I fish it pretty often and we catch some really nice blue cats in there and you can catch small-to-medium channels until your arms fall off but we mostly target bigger blues and we catch a few striper when they're running

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you

[@Yelladog78]

I know everyone loves shad but where I live live bluegill/sunfish/brim/perch whatever you want to call'em works better for flatheads and they're a tough little fish too

[@mckrkl]

I am so glad to see you teaching your son catch and release... Alot of people keep everything they catch. Dont ever keep more than your share. Yes, there are alot of fish out there. Are there alot of quality fish compared to the 1800's. No. I just subscribed to your videos. Im all for a man keeping fish, and Im also for the catfish, or any fish. Great job. I enjoyed the video.

[@brianforrest3377]

Great video guys 👍 that was a dandy blue cat

[@jacobdunlap9097]

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I’ve had great luck with it. Never had a reason to change. Thank you for watching

[@davidstradtman8232]

Always good to see you fishing with your son. Hope to catch you out on the Kentucky sometime this summer.

[@seawolfchopper7594]

I really enjoy your videos. Do you two ever fish KY Dam ?

[@Fins-Scales-and-Tales]

Good day on the River! Like you said, "It's hard to leave 'em when they're biting" Awesome Video!

[@rogerjosephholder1320]

I started the boat ramp you are at about a year ago. How far up the river is the damn. I have been up past that waterfall and the fancy campground on the right hand side going up river.

[@rogerjosephholder1320]

I am just after a few eater size channels and do good for me in that section.

[@dondig2617]

Great video, I wonder how many people have fish finders?

[@williamcook2010]

Is that a shatter cat rod I see break through the clip bought two before the B@m silver cat rods. Haven't hooked up anything big curious what you thought there stiff

[@oGREATWHITEHUNTERo]

Hey man I live in waddy ky and I fish the ky river and taylorsville every chance I can I would love to go fishing with you sometime man

[@eugenegress5896]

Not bad Looking Rods. Its nice ,you dont have to spend alot of Money on Rods Reels, and get the job done. I Love name brand Reels, but Diawa, And Garcia, refuse to offer a left hand crank Reel, Except " OKUMA" as one example. We just use Big 6000 series KastKing Sharkey3 Bait Feeder Reels, And Wisker Seeker Rods. Good Quality for Money. We just use Mono all Around. Berkley big game ," SUCKS" on Spinning Reels, but just fine on Open face Reels. I use Orange Co Polymer Wisker Seeker Line. Either way , you have a System that works for you just fine. Heat Shrink is great especially, keep handles new or dinged up ones protected. Great Video Thanks.

[@FreshwaterSouL]

Awesome video👍.What camera do you use?

[@mikestevens4225]

Will you do a video of the rods and reels you use?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Here ya go, thanks for watching 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5LTk2t7bNRogLc

[@brandonsetters7608]

hey bud! great video. been waiting to come across someone from kentucky! i am from mt. sterling but live in frenchburg now. you ever fish cave run??

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Thank you, I have never fished cave run, thank you for watching

[@garrisonh]

Cool

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Great video bro. I definitely want one of those cutting boards. Do you have a lot of luck near the locks?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I haven’t fished around them to much but normally gar make it impossible to keep baits in the water from my experience. It’s a great place to catch shad anytime of the year. Thank you for watching.

[@gregtrent5068]

On those multiple hook leaders, have you hooked a really big fish on one of those? Wonder how strong they are. Like the idea of more bait.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

If the knot is tied right they are very strong. The technique that Chris souders teaches is great. I’ve caught some 30s and 40lb fish on them. I’m confident that if a monster bit on one it would hold him. Thank you for watching.

[@andrewjames5908]

never really targeted catfish here in my home state of Ky but I know there are plenty of good opportunity's to catch lots of good cat's here. I'm close to cave run and the three forks of the Ky River in eastern Ky and some beautiful stretches of the KY river around the Irvine Richmond area so as i'm gettin older now and the bank in the bend of a river or a old log in a reservoir seems to call my name a little more, So love your channel and it's always great to see a Dad taking his kid fishing great memories for you and him , good clean channel. God Bless.

[@bertblue9683]

What's the year, make and model of your boat? I'm looking for a new boat and like your design.

[@BMGPITTBULL]

What’s those blue rods with the metal reel seats?? Appreciate it.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Tangling with catfish extreme series. Out of all the rods I have owned they are by far my favorite. Light as a feather, soft tip and a ton of backbone. Thanks for watching👍

[@johnnymissfire8464]

How do you get that garmin to look so clear on the down imaging? My water column always has a lot more fuzz or clutter in it.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I have everything in auto for the most part. Sounds like you could have some interference coming from another unit or something. Thank you for watching

[@jimmyalley1448]

Hell yeah

[@jimmyalley1448]

I’m going to come go fishing with you lol

[@rigNcast]

What kind of poles do you use? I call them barrel rods but i don’t know any good ones or anything I use spinning reels (for saltwater) but I want to do some more catfishing but I want those type of rods you use. (The barrels) let me know please!

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I use tangling with catfish (Twc) rods. Thank you for watching.

[@MuskratAdventures]

Good stuff brother! Never count out them small rivers!

[@mauricebenning2641]

What's a go rig for rocks

[@glenncapps5964]

What kinda of reels do you use

[@randywilson6869]

R u going to add a live scope to that garmin?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Not planning on it. That’s a lot of money lol. would be awesome for catching bait though. Thanks for watching👍

[@TheMustangStampede]

I watched a jon boat redecking video of yours guessing you did a full boat upgrade

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I still have the jon boat. It Needs some carb work but I will continue to fish the smaller rivers in it. I got this boat mainly to fish the bigger bodies of water. Thanks for watching.

[@TheMustangStampede]

@@hagengrubbsfishing i just re did my 18ft jon boat. It had original plywood, carpet for like 77. I went ahead and bought all diamond plate aluminum. It turned out nice.

[@TheMustangStampede]

back watching this again lmao, and I now have a 2021 crestliner 1870fcc tunnel hull with a 80 hp jet

[@psychonursehomestead9680]

Do you experience with different Cast Nets. I bought one 3 years ago and it was garbage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I like the betts super pro and the fitech super spreaders. The larger the mesh the more durable they are. Of course the mesh size greatly depends on the size bait you are looking for. I strictly use 1” mesh. Thanks for watching.

[@bretthubbard3349]

What settings do you have the fish fonder on

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

I just leave it in auto. 👍

[@braystewart6134]

Where’d you get your lights on the back

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Amazon

[@davekennedy4002]

What locator are you using Hagen?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

It is a garmin 93sv, thank you for watching 👍

[@brettwillbornsr.8437]

Why is the drift sock out .does it stabilize the back of boat ?

[@hagengrubbsfishing]

Yes, it keeps the anchor rope tight in light current and helps keep the boat from swaying as bad in windy conditions. Thank you for watching

[@jessiemathews3957]

Where can I get one of those cutting boards

[@hagengrubbsfishing]
