What's Swimming In this Concrete Pit? (it's infested!)

A cast net isn't just a great way of catching bait, it's also a great way to see what's living under the water. After multiple cast net throws in this flooded ditch, I find that it's absolutely infested!

That large mouthed sunfish you caught was actually a warmouth, quite good bait! Awesome vid btw!

[@davidvaughan3771]

Ben stiller likes fishing and utubeing?

[@FRGGuideservice]

@@davidvaughan3771 dude you have no idea how long I’ve been making that joke 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@HellyeahRook]

I like that you're removing the trash too, you are doing a lot of good taking that garbage out. My favorite was the red ear slider .

[@YoungGemma]

Crawfish are great bait for any fish here in Louisiana, including Sacalait, Bluegill, Largemouth bass, channel cats, blue cats, gasper Goo, and Choupic!

[@jamezdavis1984]

I'm hooked on your videos because I never know what the hell your gonna be catching! Love the anticipation 💚

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I appreciate the support 🙏

[@hokudadog7637]

Happy you’ve left behind things you didn’t need. I enjoyed seeing the crayfish and turtle

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Definitely, don't want to be wasteful

[@youroutdoors5453]

You need to put a crawfish trap out there and have you a boil.

[@KatiTheButcher]

Personally I wouldnt eat anything out of that ditch.

[@streetfighter398]

@@KatiTheButcher I was thinking the same thing

[@wildlifefishingshow]

The three comments on here literally mirror my thought process out there. "Eat them! Wait, no. Definitely no"

[@curlymaple42]

​@@wildlifefishingshow but certainly a great spot to put a crayfish trap for bait!!

[@vintagethrifter2114]

They aren't even that big.

[@KatiTheButcher]

I enjoy your cast net videos even if it is just catching bait. The right way is the way that works.

[@robertpierce5394]

It's cool that Ben Stiller has his own fishing channel on KZbin now!

[@smallmouth3884]

I believe that redear was a warmouth, lol! They are a beautiful predator sunfish species, one of the most aggressive sunfish species.

[@carleengreen6180]

Love to see a new post

[@mindymorgan8479]

Spot on with the casting! I need to watch that part again.

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

I used to love playing in the waterways of Huston when I was a kid. So many memories.

[@71160000]

Over the years I've caught a lot of live bait in cast nets but also things that I didn't want. I watched a guy toss one out at night down at the bay and he pulled up a couple of dozen needle nose gar. It was like a bunch of scissors cutting up his net. I stopped by a pond on the way to trot lining and wanted some live bait. I made one cast and pulled up a net full of water moccosins. I left it in the middle of the road until they had all crawled out. The guy I was with said he and a friend had waded a seine through that pond the previous week and had caught lots of small fish. Wanted me to do it with him that time but for some reason I said let me toss a net out there first. He was in shock at the snakes.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yikes!

[@brushhog2220]

Nice catchin them crawdads

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

That was a lot of crayfish! Might be time to do a boil? lol. Where I live there are a number of spots like this that are completely over-run with carp and tilapia, but being freshwater we're only allowed to use rod and reel to get them, so I'm a bit jealous of your ability to net and bowfish in freshwater.

[@ethanturner9915]

Crawfish sure work well for springtime blue cats 👀👍🏻 nice video

[@jaimechapa7032]

Great video 👍

[@littlefishproductions]

Awesome catches, your awesome with the castnet.

[@setthehookwithtlbroyles919]

WILDLIFE! What's up man! Man you caught everything! Bluegill, Shad, Bullheads, crawfish,, and Carp! I can't wait to see what you catch with all that on the real! Great episode man I loved it! Keep on getting down!

[@toddpeterson9557]

Where to start, great video, with science, fishing and how to of bait net casting. Your videos are refreshing to watch. Thanks allot....

[@wildlifefishingshow]

I really appreciate it 🙏

[@Flahmas]

Great little spot for such a variety of species! The cast net videos are always fun. Hope your trip to Florida goes amazing! Looking forward to upcoming videos as always.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Love me a food cast net video. I got one film for the Patreon done already, got four more I'm going to attempt for the main channel.

[@johnchance2340]

I’ve caught lots of fish using crawfish for bait! Used to bait my trot lines with them and clean up.

Dirty water lol, you're throwing it right , all preferences, I throw it like that also, cut up the carp for catfish bait

[@mistaupchuck1391]

YES I love ur channel

[@veronicabrasko1425]

yes crayfish my son and I need encouragement he just uses lures! I think differently❤😊

[@alexwilliams4264]

Great stuff hi from Australia we call crawfish yabbies and we are not allowed to use carp as live baits we can't even return them to the water after killing them

[@azgamer7681]

Also it is in east Pearland way downstream from Tom Bass Park, it is somewhere in Green Tee Terrance

[@thims1961]

Now we use crayfish for Bass here in Southern Ontario but down there with exotics in the mix it would make for a very interesting session

[@SimonPeter1]

I saw some videos about how to throw cast net in a nice open circle. However, most of those movements are too danger when you standing on a steep, flat concrete slope, make it easy to fall into water before the net.

[@forwardafterdawn1]

All those crawfish would make for a good meal. Shout out from Louisiana!

[@MasterAquatics]

That red ear you caught kind of looks like a warmouth. Awesome catch though.

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I mislabeled it trying to hurry

[@MasterAquatics]

@@wildlifefishingshow love the vids. Quick question what program do you use to edit your thumbnails?

[@wildlifefishingshow]

@@MasterAquatics thanks, I'm currently using a combination of 2022 Photoshop, Instagram filters, and the paint app on my phone. I just mess around until I get the feel I think works.

[@MasterAquatics]

@@wildlifefishingshow your thumbnails look really good. I just use photoshop but I'm thinking of using something else for better quality. Thanks for responding man, I've been a long time viewer since 10k subs.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

I need that hubcap hook me up? 😁 I have said it before, wish I could throw nets here, it looks like a ton of fun, and I have lots of spots I would love to do it. If that was a clean spot, I would be eating those crayfish myself!

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY. Weird critter, eh?

[@terristroh3965]

When I was younger, I was taught cast netting completely opposite of your technique. I suck at it. I should try your way.

[@punchifishing]

Hi payton :) I bought my first baitcaster and I caught a 0.8 kilogram catfish

[@wildlifefishingshow]

That's awesome, keep it up!

[@dashondahalton9929]

I wonder are those crawfish safe to eat. It was some nice size ones in the net

[@Crackpidgeonextreme]

I have the same bucket its a good bucket

[@jaywill1523]

Crawfish great beat for cat

[@alansloan88]

Texans and Cajuns call them craw-fish. Have to admit hearing you say cray-fish sounds funny. Look forward to whopper flathead video.

Dude you are cool , 🇨🇦✌️🇺🇸.

[@shawnlangtimm2268]

You must hear this all the time but you remind me of a young Ben Stiller

[@tadhghayden8440]

U throw a good cast net...

[@ricardosalazar3518]

Ideas maybe a catch clean cook crawfish or ice been interested in watching a video that kinda informs us about how and why it’s common we see freshwater fish and sometimes saltwater fish together over the years I was only told it’s because it’s brakeshwater sorry if I misspelled but yea love the vids!

[@donfields1234]

The heck with fishin just boil some mud bugs...lol

[@heinrichbier4759]

Mad skill! Throwing a cast net is damn tricky and hard work. Also we can’t legally use cast nets in Canada and can’t use “sport fish” species like sunfish for example

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Our guidelines also prohibit keeping sport fish in the net, but sunfish aren't classified as sport fish in Texas (seems to be one of the few states like that). I appreciate the support 🙏

[@cliffcampbell8827]

Crayfish around the Reno, Nevada area (Truckee river, lake Tahoe and Pyramid lake) really like cheap hotdogs. After you catch a good sum of crayfish, put them in a bucket with a valve at the bottom. Fill the bucket with clean water then open the valve. When the water comes out clean, so will be your crayfish. This method greatly helps to get rid of that muddy taste in crayfish.

[@deborahwilliams1632]

Where were you at. I'd like to catch some of those crayfish too.

[@PsychicPsychToad]

Crayfish for big bowfins, the true kings of the creeks!

[@cbrooksusmc]

As long as the cast net opens! Dont matter how you throw it

[@joeprendergast2504]

Ben Stiller really switched things up lately

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Those movie contracts ain't what they used to be

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

Crawfish make great bait. Soak them in salt.👍

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

What does that do? And do you think the bass like eating craws or just hate them and destroy them? I catch alot of bass on artificial.

[@PhantomGhosty720]

I love your videos so much; I watch you all the time and dreamed about going fishing with a youtuber who fishes it'll be a dream to go catfishing with you one day

[@fredrikxx2867]

Just bring a camera man and give him a fishing rod there you go, then upload it to youtube...

[@snowaterider]

If Tom Cruise was on the Walking Dead.

[@azgamer7681]

What happened to your video “Bowfishing a small stream” where you bowfished clear creek? 😮

[@markc2036]

Here if you use bream for bait you have to catch them in the same body of water you plan on fishing.

[@azgamer7681]

I saw Clear Creek carp yesterday I threw in worms corn and bread they didn’t bite why didn’t they?

[@iskandartaib]

Aren't they good eatin'? 😁

[@carolynallisee2463]

The moment I saw 'infested' in the title, I knew crayfish were involved.

[@dtw63]

Have you ever been told you look like Ben Stiller? 😂

[@SRH420ful]

I'm an old fishing guide if I may suggest you need just a little more spin on your throw , the weights tied to the net will force the net to spread wide open just as it hits the water. good luck

[@wildlifefishingshow]

Can't spin on sloped concrete

[@ITigerbaum]

Go back for the MudBugs and go bass fishing!

Yeah you take the tail off of those crawfish. Crush and roll from the tip to the stump and the meat comes right out. Put that on the hook sideways 👌 catfish love it

Hopefully you picked up all that trash you fished out…. I know it’s not your trash to begin with but for those of us who think of these kinds of outdoor activities a passion we want to look after and protect them so that we can keep doing these things generation after generation. It’s not your trash, but we have a duty to keep things clean.
