Big Fish Caught While FISHING A SANDBAR!! (Catch and Cook)

and i just came disconnected so this is going gonna be interesting [Music] river rats another day floating down the river it's pretty dang good start to the day you got two objectives one catch dinner to catch something big preferably in that order actually i don't really care i'll take them in any order so let's go i'm gonna drift slappy along the edge of this brush see if there's anybody home sure it'd be sweet if there was then i'm gonna go in and drop a live one for flathead [Music] it's gonna be interesting if we get a bite here gonna have to steer around a bunch of junk is that a nibble sure looked like a nipple oh yeah that's definitely a nipple if i was smart i would have brought just a bottom rod and put cut bait on that oh oh with him take my bait nope not too broken up about it because i don't think he's real big but i'm going to be a little broken up about it because he probably would have tasted very good this quick bite though i like that or maybe even come back a little more serious this time he hit it pretty solid though i got a destination in mind it's a long ways away we have a decent amount of time to get there so we have that going for us that was definitely a sharp tap i feel like i'm turkey hunting looking through the brush for my bobber some dense cover might not be many channel cats in there i think i'll use this moment to uh rig up a flathead rod i'm only gonna have one flathead rod rigged up until we have dinner procured there he goes and there he dropped it tapped again and again looks like they're having some commitment issues all right i've seen enough of this might be having a turtle mess with me to be honest oh there's something [Music] no skunk i'm gonna let him grow to go to grow up a little bit though [Music] cory no skunk corey squinting his eyes he can't even see it i think that makes it even better all right we'll see if there's a flathead there we'll bet there's one there can we tease him out of the brush though that's gonna be the trick definitely not going to throw any of our magnums in there but that's a pretty decent one i hope he doesn't get snagged because i'd like to use him for a while not a giant giant but a pretty nice bait drag check a little light there we go i like where that one's at if i was smart which i'm not i'm gonna just brought a bottom rod fish cut bait i like watching my bobber go under so i'm basically a giant six-year-old [Music] you probably already knew those things well i've seen enough here time to time to get rolling any nibbles so no nibbles no nibbles not a good sign i s had nibbles on cut bait though so that's not a bad sign nope there's a log looks like an interesting place to drift a bobber probably not the best middle of the day but we're gonna try it anyway this is like the small stream version of bumping if you don't know what bumping is for cats look it up it's pretty sweet i even have a few videos of me doing it on the mississippi try my best to remember to link those not very good at that come on bobber do your thing go under the bobber is just bobbing though so at least we got that part right oh hey i got him that feels like a dinner cat if i've ever hooked one i don't know how good he is hooked because that was one of the most awkward hook sets of my life he's he's actually not too bad oh that's a perfect eater sweet you are ideal they swing you think so that was fun i really want to do that again and that like i said that's the ideal eater we're gonna cook him up on a sandbar here for too long yeah i really want to do that like 10 more times oh it's like what what is going on that's the bottle water's pretty low sometimes that's where the little bobber drifted technique thingy works the best though you know i said i really hope i don't get that bait snagged up didn't even touch the bottom well at least that's broke line breakers are sweet if you have room for extra stuff when you're on kayak camping trips like i am i don't so the bait net doubles as a line breaker and probably other things like you know in case sasquatch attacks i can fend him off with the bait net i'd wrestle him probably hit him with a sweet double leg it's my it's my story i'mma tell how i want to feel like i got taken advantage of at this spot that's literally all the bait that's left at least uh at least i was able to get out of that snag that the catfish dragged me into i think uh that's a sign to keep moving our hooks lost the fish caught ratio is not good but uh we're fishing some pretty heavy timber and i think i'm going to focus more on floating the bobber at least for a little while let my morale come up a little bit i thought it was the bottom um oh yes guess we're not eating him i've missed a couple that definitely would have been excellent eaters but uh it's about how my lucks went so far i don't know what else to say so i'm just gonna paddle you got it not big but he's gonna taste good there might be another one here and it'd be nice to add one more to the pile and i got bait left this is my last chunk of shad i got lucky and caught a miracle shad which there's not a lot of them on this river so i think i was gonna take that as a sign but we'll see i think we have a gar maybe oh we got more catfish nuggets get over here join the party and i let him swallow it but that's okay cause i'm gonna eat him if i had a bigger cast iron skillet i just pan pan fry him but i don't but i'm gonna go clean them so tiny but going to be so delicious we're gonna eat like kings float a pretty good long while i haven't been doing much fishing but a couple of my favorite trees over here dropped bait down got a few other daytime spots to hit while it's still daytime and then then it's chilly and fried catfish time and i'm kind of hungry so that sounds pretty good and that's all i have to say about that well my favorite trees are quickly becoming not my favorite so we're going to keep moving to my favorite rocks the shadows are getting long we haven't really caught much kind of switched over to flat heads and not catching much it's pretty standard we got one more spot for a little bit of daytime stuff and and we're uh then we're to where we're gonna set up for the evening hopefully one if not both produces something that'd be pretty neat well the critters are definitely getting more active hopefully uh the flatheads are about to do the same that reel could definitely use a little tlc but we're on the river so it's gonna have to uh work its way through it [Music] and i just came disconnected so this is going to be interesting [Music] well he was definitely on something he might still be on something or he's real big [Music] he's gone well that sucks was right where he's supposed to be [Music] you know what's really weird is uh i saw my sunfish come up to the top of the water right before he popped off i think he popped off before the hook flew out i felt something pop i was hoping it was the line coming off of whatever he was hooked on but not the case i think on that note i'm gonna go fry some catfish well i definitely don't hate it not much firewood though which is an issue if you're trying to cook over a fire and we're home plenty of bait on the fish finder so that's not a bad thing [Music] i'm going to be a nice guy and set up so you get all the good spots that's that's the kind of guy i am putting that on record anybody says i'm not a nice guy not that nice but at this very moment i am [Music] [Music] firewood's a little scarce here [Music] i didn't feel like packing it in i'm excited to toss the bobber rig out not gonna lie that seam looks juicy if you're like how do you know what depth to set your bobber stop i don't so i'm gonna cast it without any bait on it a few times and i'm like kind of guessing yeah that's it's close enough doesn't have to be perfect putting a bowl head on this guy no bullheads bullheads do you steal my bullhead you son of a big one you took the big bullhead that came out oh my gosh i've been dreaming about that bullhead for hours that doesn't make me feel any better corey i i do but they're small i only had one big one you definitely have the big one we're fighting right now i guess i'm putting a bluegill on i'm already mad just let me be mad i think corey thinks i'm actually mad that's in the danger zone 100 a little proud of myself that i actually remembered fire starters and i have a surplus for future ventures these things are awesome if you want some bigfoot bushcraft kind of a pain to tear apart but once you get them tore apart there they work pretty awesome i think that's gonna be good enough yeah i need a lighter get this dude lit up and start putting them on top of them [Music] obviously i'm not a boy scout with these you don't have to be thankfully things are burning the old tried and true tp method probably gonna have some real flames going here in a sec i think we we might already that easy you get ten percent off if you use promo code spencer bauer i'm not a big promo code sponsor guy but these are pretty awesome corey is on an important zoom meeting right now i'm going to get some coals rolling and then we'll get food cooking okay so things have happened since the last time i had the camera on good things though i mean it's gotten dark but oh that's nice and sandy extra crispy fish coming up i'm gonna level this guy out [Applause] the best i can i just wait for it to get hot well not quite gotta bread some fish that looks good this is when i get a bite when my hands totally covered in franks i think we're getting close actually i think we're good the bug just landed in the grease and sizzled that's a good sign hopefully i can do this without catching on fire good stuff's happening other than the bugs bugs can leave all right the fish are done only one piece rolled in the sand so that's not too bad it's either cornmeal breading or sand in the skillet but red and chili either way hopefully there's minimal bugs that end up in it just gotta warm it up and stir it's all yeah it's gonna be good need to add some cheese when the cheese is melted i'll call it done i do have tortillas so i might as well warm those up i think i'm gonna build me a little table out of this chunk of wood that'll work corey's still pretty into it everything is done and i picked a really dumb side to put my little makeshift table on because it's right in the smoke zone try and make this a smooth operation actually went all right okay so how hot are you pretty hot i'm gonna go grab my rag all right so we got cheesy chili see how this pours ooh that's still pretty hot on my hand definitely definitely some casualties off of that sweet chili awesome thank you ella she can make really good chili funny thing is she doesn't think it's that good i disagree then this guy oh yeah i got one piece of cheese i'm gonna throw on it okay so a tortilla fish and cheese i feel like that's gonna be a good trio and i was right i could sprinkle some chili on it but that's gonna be messy well i'm gonna finish this and hopefully see when we got a fish on got him for the moment we are deep in discussion then this cute little flathead interrupted us i mean i'm assuming it's a flathead the rod holder is still on the fishing rod tell you what he's lucky he didn't bite a half hour earlier because that's a good eater thanks bud the bugs are coming for us you just hold on to him i mean the best flatheads are probably you could argue are big flatheads but the second best flatheads are definitely bobber flatheads i don't know why it's not like i get to see the bobber go down but just knowing that it went under the water puts a smile on my face i don't know and they all get me shaky and jittery and excited he's got a bad eye does he he had one eye all right he uh he ate at the right time he knew we were well fed and weren't gonna eat him but he'd be a prime eater instead i'm gonna let them go hopefully i'll get bigger okay peace out homie see ya back to the depths all right baits are back in the water fire's smoky but rolling burning some paper plates and i'm gonna bet the big dog shows up after midnight we got one going he's slow and cocky about it too that's not a small fish i don't think oh yeah oh yeah keep walking back yep oh god oh that sucks yeah i don't know what you'd do different on that that's fishing you nailed it put another bait out yeah i really don't know what you'd do different i'd love to tell you what you could do better the funny part is me see that hook it's brand new out of the package that's pretty sharp uh that was the smallest bait i had is the last one i have left elephants eat peanuts sometimes man oh that one's gonna hurt that that hurt me yep not a bad one either no let me get that clicker yeah oh are you kidding me what the hell he break off or what hmm this is how you cope distract my brain well if you're going to puke don't don't do it over here i'm not really yet but i do have that weird feeling that feeling of sheer disappointment yeah yeah i get it disgustedness good news is we got lots of time we do yeah i bet we get at least one more bite [Music] always moving across something that's not good i think i got him for the moment can't tell if it's a big fish or not it doesn't feel real big dad he wants to fight a little bit i wondered hey he's giving me a good tussle now okay bud come here we're not [Applause] it's like frank and flathead he totally soaked me look at his jaw it's like all messed up which makes him hooked incredibly well number two of the evening definitely the uh number one ugliest of the evening he's like an extra special ugly big ugly he has jaws all jacked up like probably doesn't even look half as bad and on camera as what it looks to me but it's incredible how tough these fish are but i mean if you want to stay alive i guess that's what you got to do okay okay bye back to bed morning you guys want to pick up my camping stuff for me oh you don't okay i guess i'll do it then i hope you enjoyed this video me and corey i think are going to try
