Catfish LURKING In A FLOODED Creek!!! Catfish Fishing Tips and Techniques

i'll tell y'all what this bad weather that we had last night has knocked the fish off i didn't bend in seven or eight good holes so i'm gonna have to hunt them down whoo okay all right folks i'm gonna let this this skip jack heron right here thaw oh i didn't quite thought right now y'all can see there's all kinds of stuff there's a big part of a tree going down the river a lot of trash in the water the water is very very high and the speed of the current i'm right on the current seam i believe and i may be wrong i'm going to try this two ounce no roll sinker right here and the way i've got it rigged up is just a carolina rig one of my favorite ways to fish in the river but that's a two ounce which i may have to go to a three ounce a bead big beefy swivel 50 pound test uh andy leader one of around two feet that's my favorite length and right here is a adolf gamakatsu circle hook um notice right there it has offset in it i put that offset in there uh i bought these at bass pro shop and they were straight they didn't have an offset so i just take a pair of pliers and put my own in it i believe in that offset you'll it just seems like i hook up with more fish like that and on my main line right here is 40 pound test and i'm using the bass pro shop cat max um and uh yeah this is 40 pound test line which i think i didn't mention that this other reel is rigged up exactly the same but this is a catfish special made by ambassador it's the 6500 c3 um caught a lot of fish on this right here both of these reels have slow gear ratios so more like a winch type deal but i just hope this two ounce i hold i believe it will we'll see let's start off with a head about that size i'm just going to cut it at an angle like that we'll take a bite piece about that big not just real big baits right now i may put a 10 out hook on and fish with a whole one here or almost a whole one and see what we can do but this is fresh skip jack i just have vacuum sealed these couple days ago my goodness i caught about 50. so i didn't have any chance i mean no show us but go ahead and vacuum seal them we got plenty of catfish bait now all right let's take this and let's hook him like that that right there that'll do it i'm i want as much exposure of hook point exposed now this is a snail knot right here all these knots here are trailing knots now this herring head i'm just gonna find that little crease right there and then hook him just like that see i've got a lot of exposure right there like some swift water look here folks oh this creek is throwing a lot of water out hitting the main river right here behind us and that might be the place to go right here i'm gonna ease on up in this creek though a little bit look at it okay y'all see this creek leading into this feeder creek that creek right there that looks good to me let's see what we got 22 feet of water okay i'm going to try that we're getting about right here i got a little bite there i don't know if it was a channel or what he didn't commit folks but i'm sitting right here in the mouth of a creek are cut it's causing a lot of eddy right here and the water is quite a bit shallower right here i tell you i'm having a hard time finding fish but at least we got a bite right here this is a great place for catfish to accumulate places like this now it's deep rock throwing distance out there probably about 25 feet of water so i am fishing a drop right here and we did get a little channel cat bite right there well let's see what's going on whoa wait wait wait wait wait wait folks this is good the only problem is he's hung up in something dead going let's see if we can get him out what i'm gonna do is just hold pressure on the big sun's gun and try to get him out now being he's in this debris like this i can't talk folks it could be a big flathead i'm not sure you know flathead love debris what i'm talking about debris there's a lot of rocks in here here's that creek i was talking about and they could be some trees down in there too there's a lot of something i've never been broke off like i said a couple times trying to stay here on this spot good fish though whatever he is let's see what we got it's just the blue the current's rolling so hard y'all can see that and i'm having to use a five ounce weight right here to hold it and it makes these fish feel a lot bigger than what they are now you talking about fighting right here this this rod right here this one right here got broke this silver cat rod i broke it right here so i just put this one in put a big five ounce weight i'm excited i can't even talk i've been having a hard time locating these fish this one right here has got a three ounce and it's not holding it so i'm gonna have to go to a heavier weight i had a hard time finding them because i don't know anything about this creek at all i just know if you got a creek coming into a creek you got a good situation and plus a lot of the debris cover come on in here oh god it makes them feel so big i got weight well y'all give me some patience i'll get the song again maybe yeah i got it all right goodness gracious this man ain't deep enough really ah yeah ideas really that's a pretty good fish we're in y'all see the 23 feet of water and now we're going past the creek so i'm going to have to re-anchor up their dog on it it's a wonder if that anchor didn't go get hung up this is how you learn spots though in places you just got to get out here and explore to learn these places like this okay i'll show him to you he give me a fit there ain't no doubt in this current not really that big of a catfish they ain't too shabby but it ain't really what i want but i found something right here i believe i'm gonna get back over there anchor and see if we can do that again let's catch another i believe that's going to be a prime spot we'll see you though it's a good blue not exactly what we're wanting but i'm happy that i got it back i've been searching for these fish whoa here oh that was a cat i finally got anchored right here i got a little bit closer folks and i'm actually straddling the drop off right here if it'll hold we almost caught one right there that was a blue blue cat right there where i think it was probably a small one he dropped that big bait hey look here maybe that's him again there we go he did he decided to folks messed with that for a while didn't he i need to move my arms out there so y'all see what's going on he messed with that for a while and he finally finally got it oh my goodness i i know for a fact that this is the strongest current i've ever fished in and i'm going to be back i hope he didn't get my other line i believe he did can't do nothing about it but this is the stylist i'm using a five ounce weight plus a weight because i don't have a six or seven ounce weight he's got all tangled up in here now if i say if i were to hook one oh 60 70 pounds i would be in trouble i would i'd have to pull up that anchor what i'd have to do is put that lighten that drag up so he couldn't break my line put it in the rod holder and pull that anchor up that's the only way i can lab one or if i have one of them round big floats that you could unclamp but see i'm just having to haul that old thing up here now that summer gun is ugly but like i said i am too look here what a mess i got but i got that catfish i didn't quit i knew he'd come up that drop man he's fat but look here what i'm having just to keep it on the bot that's a five ounce and uh i believe that's a two ounce so that's seven ounces ain't oh man now tomorrow would probably be a better day right here and i may come back because it's going to slow down a little bit the way you can fish it a little bit more effectively hey i'm talking about whoa hey man whoa quit quit quit quit quit quit nothing to write home to mom about but hey it's a rough old day but i'm a rough old partner man let's let him go quiet quit sorry folks going back they it wasn't that bad a deal anyway all i gotta do is tie me another fresh leader on that other and whoo hey golly hope ain't hung up y'all cross your fingers yeah that's what i'm dealing with i'm talking about every couple minutes of the wad up there like yet i love it but the fishing was easy a welmer did got old hair in his nose and his ears on his chin on his old back he ain't got nothing on his head but everywhere else everywhere else whoa let me get that off of there let's put that ahead now i'm using a five ounce on this one because the water's a lot shallower this side is shallower and over here is the brake line i'm just hoping want to creep up in this shallow water oh that they and eat that old head in here no begging i don't want them little scrunch well they ain't gonna work like i want to i'm gonna let it hit the bottom real slack up to the bump the swivel uh like that and put it in there and in two minutes or three i'll get these old grass off of it let's do it again we'll do it again boy anybody like that i think there's a fish on this one let's crank down and see yep they are sure are we in the mouth of the that fish is fighting harder than i thought i mean i thought it was a small fish he hit it and come up don't get in that other line let's don't do that again please well you know he ain't all that big that's why i always reel my every time it's from richard gene things some of these dudes can have 50 rods out folks i'm not good enough for that listen to him is already croaking now i'm going to show you something right here dog gone it i'm gonna have to get my net sure is the world i ain't that big but this current is rolling i keep saying that but i ain't never seen that like it that was a lot of rain the most i've seen a long time fall that quick y'all excuse me right here let's see if we capturing there you not a very big one that's a baby blue come on in here pretty fishy show well there's another one folks that's not a very big one well he would be he wouldn't be bad if he had some weight on him that was a little bit skinny ain't he but i'm having fun i'm learning learning new places that's what you got to do you got to explore they it's a female fish let's let her go there you go little girl she's mad she is very very mad whoa i ain't seen i ain't seen so much water folks this is something else it was a lot of flooding going on in a lot of water right here but i'm gonna go on uh mama's got some homemade chicken soup she just called me mama sue did and i got a long pretty long drive to get back home but we did find a new hole to fish in i'm always doing that and i tell you what that's what i look for situations like this on in areas on big big river systems if i don't know anything about it i'll go to the basics feeder creeks and also creeks coming into a feeder creek are excellent areas of the farm catfish now this area right here would be great for flatheads here in a little bit and i'm going to come back with some big old bluegill big as my hand and we'll see what we can do but i want to say thank y'all very much god bless each and every one of y'all thank you for everything you've done i want to say this one should never give up on anything okay it's not the american way whoa i'm talking about whoa [Music] is [Music] you
