Bobber Fishing for a Catfish Dinner! (Drought Fishing)

river hats i have shad which means i have bait which means i could possibly catch dinner i'm also underneath this big bridge thingy but uh there's rapids and such and catfish like rapids and other fish like rapids and i kind of like all of them so let's go one thing one nice thing about catfishing you don't need much i managed to bring a lot but most of it's filming stuff so that makes me feel better about it anyway i got my shadies even the cooler because it's important to keep them cool so there's that we do have to traverse some rapids and such just another day water's getting a little bit more color to it not a bad thing there's a little stuff swimming in here huh i wonder what they are shad i'm gonna throw a swimmy around at some point in time but let's try to secure some catfish first oh yeah looks juicy at least see if it is yeah this spot just screams catfish hopefully uh not hearing things get it i'll try to quit no promises there are some nice cats in here we have her drift about i better set her deeper now it looks like it might be deeper than that this is the type of stuff they moved to in the evenings got her set like three or four feet it's not that deep there we go there's one there it won't take very long because the only reason he's there is to eat something so he got that going for us the water's rising too that's not gonna hurt us is that a fish yep there he is that didn't take very long that is an eater cat if i ever saw one so i guess i should probably eat him that is exactly what i was looking for in about the same amount of time i was hoping for i'm gonna put them on a stringer and hopefully add friends all right bud you can hang out there like i said hopefully be adding friends for you to hang out with shortly i should clean off my nasty shad hands otherwise they become pasty any more there maybe even be a little bigger that one was tuned up though he didn't nibble really it just started going there isn't any more here we have other options kind of just caught on that seam kind of prefer to drift a bobber given the choice oh nibbed and there he goes maybe and he let go of it and he's back and i'm not sure what's happening it's amazing how quick they can find a bait [Music] off to not the races i like the ones that just yank it down it's just like you blink and it's gone yeah the no doubters are my favorite well i thought that was it i even stepped back to really tee him up first fish that bit was definitely the most aggressive which is not out of the norm might be trying a different spot here to suck all right one more chance over here just looks too interesting not to drift a bait around in it time to move slightly not taking much just my shads pretty blessed to have pretty places to fish like this better yet they even have a few fish living in them this looks prime here too putting a fresh chunk of cut bait on can really make a difference it with my fingers like a neanderthal or is it neanderthal i don't know try a little deeper i don't know if it is actually it is not deeper appears to be quite the opposite actually well i'll try it at that depth first now we're actually drifting a bobber anything that hits in there is probably going to smoke it unless they don't it's nice standing in the water though i don't have to but it feels it's just nice well that might be a fish or maybe not really thought i would have got clobbered right there like instantly try drifting through there a little deeper that's only like two feet so two and a half maybe standing up maybe that's it i just wasn't deep enough it does make a difference lots of times we're going to see if it matters here but a little minor is getting eight right behind me mornings and evenings are usually my favorite time to do this this is not gangbusters yet though lots of times you can stack them doing this probably should have brought a bottom rod but like catch them on the bottom and i was running low on time oh you hit it and quit it you might have came back again you might be running right at me oh yeah he is a little guy he might uh be fitting in with his buddy [Laughter] not even he's not quite big enough to keep by my standards i could do the old pan fry on him but i like filleting them making nugs try her a little deeper yet she going to stand up not quite as long as she keeps drifting on the bottom it's fine by me oh he's running at me again i lifted it right out of his mouth whoops thank you is similar in size to our last bud put a fresh chunk of bait on if i even have any bait on here i might be fishing for free i was burning precious time okay get out there make me proud well i got him i think is he going to be edible size maybe he is not by a lot hey he'll work get over here even bigger than the first one i'm a lot it'll fit in one more then it's mission success walleye time except this is not a great time of the year to catch walleyes but i'm gonna try anyway give this five more minutes here then if we don't get one we will be heading up to where we started i like it when they hit it now but it's moving in that water usually tend to hit a little harder if they have any size whatsoever there's something bigger that move there probably carl carl carp i know it's hard to believe but this river has substantially larger channel cats than that somewhere water drops it's like where do they go i have a few ideas but i'm not there come on four pounder i don't feel like that's asking too much maybe maybe i'm wrong oop there he goes is he still going nope yeah he is maybe not playing with the dinks but the dinks taste good so we have that going for us he doesn't have quite have the gusts do i don't think that one does little fella little fella impressed even got in his mouth you will not quite get the job done dude yep tell me about it all right try this again oh oh i thought that was the one and just yanked it under the water's actually rising i was hoping that would be the ticket appears not to be i think i know i had a bite with [Music] all right we've hooked a little bit better one i think i mean it's bigger whatever it is not so sure it's a cat um it's a cat never mind who am i kidding just with acting funny acting like dinner is what you are that's about perfect eating size all right we have completed don't get away our objective for dinner now i'm trying to make a few casts for walter well first cast with the uh swimmy at night didn't really expect you gave her one lift bud there he was so i'll add you to the party too i thought you were for sure a walleye that's okay then i don't catch another one i hope i'm wrong but so it plays out so many times good old drastics drastic plastics paddle tail three incher the do do it all or well i think it's a little late for dinner but that's gonna make a pretty pretty fine lunch tomorrow so i'm gonna get these guys cleaned and i'll see you then [Music] well welcome to the kitchen woody's down here roaming the floor in anticipation of crumbs falling and he's probably in luck anyway i'm gonna keep it simple throw uh just old cornmeal-based breading uh with a twist though got some breadcrumbs whisker seeker recommends that you soak your fish in milk i've never been one to follow the interactions too closely so i'm currently soaking mine and some frank's extra hot courtesy of mike and lauren so thank you very much for that and let them sit in there and do their thing and for this i got the bread crumbs in the baggie hard in the dirty dishes and busy editing video i don't think i'm gonna use the whole thing it'll be close but uh i'll mix them about half and half in here just to uh give it something a little different yeah i bet i'm gonna end up using more than that but we'll see we'll start with that and add more of the whisker seeker as we go now wait for the oil to get hot and then i'm gonna bread these guys up all right let's see how these end up looking if you really want to do it right you let them marinate like suggest you let that one marinate for about i don't know half hour to an hour or even overnight josh says the best is to do it overnight never been able to wait that long by the time i get home from fishing usually the last thing i want to do is food prep especially after i've cleaned a bunch get what equates to about a skillet full in there pretty close those are ready now we just wait for the oil to get hot i think it's time see that rounds pretty well full those look like a little slice of heaven that one's about perfect [Music] first round complete this is so nice i've been craving fried fish forever dude those crips crisped up pretty quick love how these crisped up real dark i just like my fish crunchy [Music] that's it i'm going to try to delicately not douse these with oh a little lemon considering we already got the fire it's hot enough where i heard one of them sizzle i shouldn't eat that one yeah all right moment of truth just kidding i already ate one it was delicious looks really good still good oh hot hot it's still good [Music] oh look look who's in scavenger mode right now i might even be nice and give them a piece but i hope you enjoyed the video as much as i enjoy these fish i'd be saying something if you did if you did enjoy it hit the like button if you want to see more like it hit the subscribe button really appreciate you taking the time to watch real means a ton like can't even i don't know it's cliche to say words can't express how thankful i am but no words that i know but i don't know very many so there's that but thank you for real hope you catch giant [Music] you
