Catching GIANT CATFISH Using an ANCIENT Technique!!!// Limb Line Tutorial// Spring Fishing 2020

I what's up everybody welcome back to another episode of going fish TV out here on the river today with my daughter and we're doing something a little bit different you'll notice I really don't have any rod and reels I got one little ultralight right ere on the front but I really don't have any rod and reels with me or anything because what we did was we came out here yesterday afternoon and we set some lemons I don't know if any of y'all have ever done that before but it's really fun to settle in lines for catfish and you heard me talk about earlier in my earlier videos when I was catching the shad I was saying that is what I was catching him for was to catch catfish with and run Lin lines so we set 13 yesterday afternoon so we're gonna get right and run up and we're gonna check in and hopefully we have some catfish on them and I'm also gonna set some more limb lines after we check those I'm gonna go little further upriver and I'm gonna do some more and when I do that I'll kind of explain what I use what hooks I use what lion and how I do it and I'll kind of go through that so we'll get to that then but let's run him to River and see if we got some [Applause] alright so we just checked the first two lines and we didn't have anything on him and we rebated them but I just got word for some guys back here in a kayak that I got a big one back here on this water back in his pocket so let's go check it out didn't come off no you got I know when it comes up it's gonna go crazy don't let it wrap around your hand oh that's a big one babe Danny that is that is a nice one all right hang on pick me oh yeah that's a beast that is a beast here hold this Wow yeah and here's a good one a does it go blue I'm gonna stand back yeah that's a that's at least of 20 at least yeah hook out of him all right so we're rolling up on our second spot right now I see that we got another one on it looks like it's pulling the limb pretty darn hard and that last one we caught off that first set was an absolute beast of a catfish so this is a a 25 pounder at least right there so we got another big one right up here I can see I don't know how big he is but I see the limb jumping and we're gonna go get him we're gonna go see what we got someone broke out there she's gonna grab the line we're gonna see how big it is all right so just realize that we had a catfish or something completely break the limb off of one of my other lines I had another line up here that's completely gone so I guess the catfish completely broke the limb so I don't know McGee get our count right here nice cat good good eater size catfish this is a this is another blue blue cat so we'll get him in the cooler all right so we're gone alright so we just got devil's number two and like I said I had three lines right here and one a catfish completely broke the Loom Deline is completely gone he completely broke the limb off which is which is insane so we're gonna give this one baited back up and like I said I'm using shad we're gonna get this one baited up in and we're gonna check this other one I don't think nothing's on this on this other one but we're gonna get it baited up we're gonna keep going up and check it use the old shad get it go there you go it's a little bit it's a little one okay it's a nice it's a keeper though it's actually not that small he's just gone up if y'all don't do this with your kids you sure because this is super fun this is a super fun way to catch catch fish and check out this guy this is this is a pretty pretty nice but a good but this is a good eating size catfish so we're gonna get him he is like I said he's all wrapped up you didn't y'all can see he's done wrapped yourself all up basically just behind his fans is is where it's wrapped up at but all right so that's a nice nice eaten sized catfish about a about a two and a half pounder or something might beat might be three so we're gonna throw him into cooler I got to get that line I got to get that line redone because it's wrapped all up but we're gonna get some good place we're gonna get some really good place yeah all right we got a no one this might be a big one here I don't know [Music] this is awesome these limbs are really loaded up how's he feel not to me that's a pretty nice one all right don't get him up in here don't let him don't let him hit you all right so we just got this one off this line another good eating size wound probably about two and a half or three pounds so we're gonna get him into cooler we're gonna get this line rebated and get up to the next one allora solid show you [Music] yeah it really shouldn't be like yo yeah that's one on there you don't know if that your mother just grab it if you feel some weight let me know one on it oh yeah alright that's enough that's exactly that's exactly so the thing is as fun as it is to catch really really big ones so these size are actually the ones that you want these are the eater size catfish these are the ones that are really good and they'll also throw water in your face alright so this is the size you want this is dummy this is like a 2 pounder it's the perfect size this is a blue cat that's pretty much SP that's all we have so far as blue cats other than that worn that one kind of flathead mud cat as I call them but they're not really a mud cat they're actually a bull head but you know we this is this is working out say she's never done this before I used to do this back before she was born oh when my wife was pregnant with her me and a buddy we used to do this all the time and we see I mean we absolutely destroyed him and we caught some really big ones up though up to 40 pounds so it's it's really fun you know the first one we got was really big 25 plus pounder and you know all the other ones have been good eaters so we got 13 units Ickx more lines to check yeah one another but we got we're going to actually put up some more lines after we checked these so we can come back this afternoon and check them again so let's get this thing baited up so we run up the river and hopefully hopefully get another big one yeah I do like getting big ones is that the last one [Music] [Music] that's one on that one I don't know what we did right here oh yeah we got one here yeah this is the last one all right yeah this is a monster like I don't know how big is right now but I'm going to get this catfish no we gotta get this guy I've never seen a catfish this big in my life oh yeah this is a this is this is a bit unexpected get it pick up your go get your GoPro don't daddy don't touch it got you somehow I don't have my fish grippers you don't have anything you don't have your fish groupers cuz you didn't know that we were home catch this time yeah hey look look why look this is what I'm gonna need for you today yeah I'm gonna need I'm gonna throw in in the boat yeah then what am I gonna do I'm gonna throw him in the bottom of the boat and you stay go stand on the back of the bag I'm calling mom after this happens our last one in luck oh look he's gonna go oh my god holy freakin crap I can't see what I'm pointing out sorry just pointing at me that is HUGE that is HUGE I'm calling mama that's a 50 plus pounder that's a 50 plus pounder out of the Nottoway River right there I had no clue that dude is huge I think it's a 60 founder it's a 60 pounder has to be that's a big one holy moly hey that's big that's a tuna all right so just got done catching that giant catfish it's really getting hot out here it's really warming up I'm starting to sweat but that was awesome cat grabbed ahold through that line and pulled it up and when it came up and thrashed you know I thought it was a nice one you know I mean a 15 pounder like that but you know then when I saw it running and I saw the swirls was making I ran up there and grab that line and I was like holy crap this is a big yeah I was like this is a big fish so I kind of had to finesse him I didn't I don't have my net or anything with me which is kind of crazy or any fish grippers or anything but anyway yeah I didn't know I was gonna get one that big said that's my biggest one in the river by far absolute monster so pretty cool deal there but what I'm gonna do right now is I'm going to set a few more lines and I'm gonna explain to y'all how I do it and what I use this is standard 80 pound or mason line right here just Mason twine you use it you buy from a hardware store or something like that five all true turn a catfish hook five all true turner catfish hook you have to have a tag on it with your name phone number and address and on the backside of all of them I have I put reflectorized striping on them in case I check them at night I can see my tags flickering so you have to have that that that's in Virginia so check your local laws or to see if this is even even legal at all in your state but it's legal here in Virginia and then and then I use a nut and these are half inch half inch nuts and this saves money you can buy a box of nuts for a really cheap and it's just enough weight to hold that you know hold your line down and keep the current from pushing it out if you're fishing in a pond or a lake or something doesn't have any current you don't really need to worry about this but in the rivers you can use one two three however many you need to you know to get your line where it's not being floating up near the top or whatever you know from the current so we're gonna pull up to this limb I'm gonna show you all kind of what limbs you want to look for are the better limbs and then we're going to get it staying tied up and baited so that's right the green limbs are better because they're more flexible and it won't break off so let's get up here and get tired off alright so basically this is the mouth of a Cove and it's out of the current for the most part you don't want to have it I don't like tying them directly in the current if the water is running as hard as it is the water's come up got in hi in the last couple days so when it's like that I like to focus on the front of the coves so you want to find a tree like this this is a cypress tree it has a really good flexible limb you can see up that's going up and down this thing is not going to break you could catch your absolute giant catfish like the one that we just just caught on this limb as small as it is you don't think it but you can alright so I look at my depth finder it's 8 foot deep right here so I want to my arm span is about 6 foot because I'm 6 foot tall so you want to do this that's about 12 foot and then [Music] your scissors are yellow alright so you want to tie off to the limb first before you tie the hook or anything on there that way you don't have the hook dangling all around have to worry about that you want to leave enough tag in down so you can tie your your name tag on it so all I do is 3 overhand knots I'm telling you there ain't a catfish out there that's going to pull 3 overhand knots with this line apart so then you want to put your tie your tag up up here your identification tag and then got your hook you want to run through your hook here and what I do is I do like a clinch knot or a cinch not people call them different things and I do six twists and then I just come through and pull it down tight all right cut off the tag in and then the way you do this nut is I like to put the nut about you know foot or 15 inches above it loop your line like this run it through the nut just like that and then loop the line over your nut and then it ties it in place boom just like that so we have a perfect line right here we have 8 foot of water this line is going to end up being like 3 foot off the bottom which what I prefer says go ahead and get some bait and get this thing baited up so that's the way you want to do your lines it's the easiest way to do it and as you can see you can catch some big fish doing this is extremely fun so you ought to give it a try if you don't do it let's get this thing baited up so back here at the house and I'm getting ready to clean these fish I got like we probably caught like 20 I'm not really sure like 15 I think and caught this one great big one and then we got another one as well that's probably about 25 pounds this one weighed in on my scale at 43 pounds 11 ounces I honestly believe that it's bigger than that but it's 41 inches long but I mean it's big head nice and fat but this is a this is just a monster fish i'ma show them to y'all real quick get a little bit better better view of them for y'all and then we're gonna and a lot of people saying well why would you keep on that big the reason being is we use these big ones from muddled catfish motto or fish model I don't know how many of y'all eat that but it's really freakin good but this is just a monster monster catfish come on actually get him up under stomach and hold him giant catfish hold him up for y'all and there yes okay yeah can I had some trouble getting this bad boy in but I got another one like I said that first one we got was like 25 something like that really big catfish so like I said the bigger ones were used for muddle and all the other ones we're gonna fillet out and you know they're gonna be good for frying or grilling or however we decide to do it but we had a good time this is the first time I've run limb lines and like probably literally 10 years I would say and well actually in eight years was because I was here last time I did it was right before she was before she was born so anyway but we had a great time I'm actually going out this afternoon and gonna check him again and we might have some more so anyway like and subscribe thank you for watching and I'll see you all next time on gun fish TV
