[@DWeezy62]

Don't reel in your large live baits to "check" them. Just grab the line and give a little tug to see if it tugs back and is still alive. If you keep reeling it in and casting it, that will sometimes cause it to dislodge or kill it by slamming it onto the waters surface. Leave it sit unless you are moving to another spot. Sometimes it takes a large fish a long time to find your bait. Occasionally tugging slightly on your line will make your live bait active and attract large predatory fish. Just make sure you don't do it hard enough to tear off your live offering.

You'd be surprised colin. I have fished the same stretch of river lots of times and caught the same fish multiple times. Sometimes they go back to the same place you initially hooked them at or at least stay within the same area so even if you dont cast to the same exact spot, you run the chance of hooking them a second or third time.

I caught a 47lb yellow on minnows from Frizens store. We ended up 40 lbs of fish fillet!! Best darn fish barbecue ever!!

[@joegrande4848]

Also, a good side arm cast works great too. Bring lure or live bait closer to water casts a mile by just a snap of the wrist. Keeping right arm at 3 o'clock position with left arm crossed underneath casting arm for control you're golden. Another plus with side arm never snag on low hanging branches. Can get live bait or lure out further. Another great cast underhand role cast.

[@AFishBicycle]

Circle hooks are counter intuitive, you have to just wait for them to take the bait and then you do not set the hook. You reel down and then maintain pressure. Let the hook do what it’s designed to do. Setting the hook on a circle hook will pull the bait out of their mouths every time. Good luck and tight lines!

[@paulking2279]

AFishBicycle Yes! I was just about to comment, “don’t set those circle hooks, just reel.”

[@adammcgeorge3538]

Yes sir, just reel. Setting the hooks is for j hooks only! If you want to set the hook, use j hooks... If you don’t, then use circles... Don’t do both!

[@basslikethefish613]

Yes! I mean the dude is out there catching fish, but those hook sets were giving me legit anxiety. Lol

[@EDCandLace]

Yeah it's different for sure. C hooks are a fickle beast. If set the hook about 85% the time you missed that fish. Hubby and I are mainly bass and here in the heavy grass of Florida we are used to jacking their jaws. So when we go salt water fishing with live bait we use Chooks (for catch and release reasons and when shiner fishing for bass we don't want belly hooked fish) it takes thought to not set the hook and just raise the rod tip and reel slack.

[@franklinjohnson7161]

I fish almost exclusively for flatheads with live bait circle hooks and have always set the hook. Seems to work fine for me. I certainly have better than a 15% hook up rate. I've tried the reel down method with very limited success. I think the that reason has to do with the way I fish. Who knows maybe I'll try it next time out and see how it goes.

What we do rock fishing is use a balloon or a big enough float to send out live baits. This way the fish isn't weighted down by a sinker and is able to swim naturally without much resistance. I hooked up to a mako shark off the rocks this way. Balloons are not really good for the environment so i tend to use floats.

I wish I had a spot to grab that many bowfin! I live in the foothills of the smokys, if I want to find bows I have a long drive ahead of me

[@paulyp36]

Man you gotta check out the north side of the lake where it starts to turn into a Creek, harder to access but there's some monster catfish back there

[@bballercab94]

Bradley Jackson which lake is this? I live in the 618 area and I'm looking for new spots to try for cat

[@muzaffarahmad7640]

He is in search of monsters, so his using words to small one's "see uh later buddy" that's awesome 😉

I just came across your fishing videos and I have to say, great video love it was really entertaining! I had to subscribe, can't wait to see more, great job!👍

[@jackc70]

The best part of your videos for me is when you say “see ya later little buddy”. But also love your catches and appreciate some professional advice. Thanks man

[@tree479]

I’m just giving y’all a tip, if you ever catch a fish by the eye keep them, I did it twice to two baby fish and released one but he had died a minute later...

[@xviiluciferiivx9217]

My neighborhood lake has been determined to have an abundance of bullheads and conflicts with the bass. They are a fun catch and cat fisherman are always asking for them . Helps thin out their population while increasing the bass. Win win for everyone.

[@backyardbassvideos7292]

I've literally been fishing 6 times this month not one fish only the bugs are biteing

[@mitchellbarrios4972]

They are under a Stay at home order...

[@gottablast3736]

I went out about 8 times and caught nothing but then I Caught 3 on the 9th and then I I started catching fish again

I've been fishing at least 50 and I've only caught two sand bass

[@benlivingston6774]

Cut the fins (Dorsey and side pectoral fins). Big catfish will spit the bait if it pokes em.

[@gyrosmith]

Great info!

[@Memo-nd6fj]

@@gyrosmith very true

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Ben Livingston Also need to put a big float (20 oz coke bottle works) on the line when fishing from bank so that fish can’t go straight to the bottom, they need to be two feet up so big kitty fish can easily see them from much farther away..... (on boat you would just drop fish and limit the line). When I’m halibut fishing I keep my live bait about ten to fifteen feet above bottom...

[@aboomination897]

firstly, catfish have to deal with fins all the time - they swallow their prey head-first like most predators. secondly that's cruel and retarded.

[@chuckchucky8781]

aboomination...first, fish swallow other fish head first so they don’t end up getting poked with spines or fins. When a fish swallows another fish head first, the fins get pushed down. Second, fish don’t have nerves in their spines. They’re basically like fingernails. And if you’re using a fish as bait and shoving a giant hook through it, are you really worried about being cruel? Your comments were daft to say the least.

[@loupremo]

I'll be honest I typically fast forward through the dramatic music cuts but I love the parts were the drag is screaming

[@winndixie5505]

Dude where I work we catch 60 lb flat head cats off baby small bull and channel catfish hooked in the back weekly...it's alot of fun!!! Thanks for the vid...loved it all...def a great vid to watch in morning with coffee

[@cbd228theawsome7]

Nick just wondering about something. Why have you gone more towards spillway fishing than traditional ponds you used to have the big and small lure challenges at?

[@618Fishing]

spillway fishing is addicting! never know what is living in the and it makes for an exciting day of fishing and an entertaining video!

[@Thivierge-hn7yr]

this makes me miss upriver and casting out my rod, then swimming in the water. sadly, it’s probably not going to happen this year😭

[@danielc5881]

Great to see such good as video/audio production as fishing content on your channel!!

Bowfin are exciting to catch. Down here in the deep south, we call them grinnel. Same fish, different name, but always fun to catch.
