CATALPA WORMS! Catfish Catch 'n Cook
Спорт
Do you say Catalpa or Catawba? Or call em something else? I fried up some Nashville hot style catfish sandwiches on the river bank, fresh caught on catalpa worms.

Rapala filet knife, first year 1967. Mine must be close to that year. It was my dads and I don't remember when he didn't have it. Leather sheath with the fish tail at the end. That one looked as sharp as a razor, as is mine.
For some reason I keep hearing "Country Boy Can Survive" in my head..😁

I'm a hearing it too!
What was in the jar before you added the oil?
I was told by one of my uncles that fished with them that if you know where there is a catalpa tree that doesn't have the caterpillars to take a dozen or so from another tree that does and seed the tree that's without. He would collect them during their active season and freeze them in cornmeal for the rest of the year. The cornmeal kept them from sticking together and becoming a frozen block of worms. RIP Uncle Henry.

Had one at my Pawpaw‘s house Shreveport, Louisiana in the 80s
Catman… Please keep doing catch and cook catfish videos!! Love these!
There is a Catalpa tree just south of Burkesville KY on the bank Cumberland River where you can catch a limit of big trout with a green and black rooster tail during the Catalpa hatch. The trout hang out under the tree just waiting for the them to drop into the water. I have done it several times.
It is amazing how fast they grow...you caught one on video pooping. If you stand close to the tree that has a good infestation, it will literally sound like it is raining - caterpillar poop that is. Great bait, but a very short window to harvest them. Many freeze them, but they will live quite some time in the refrigerator.🐛 That bluff you camped across from was beautiful...gotta love nature. 👍👍
I've been following your Chanel for years. Your content is phenomenal. My children are able to watch your videos without risk of foul language. You are a class act. Please keep it up.
It's great to see you rod-and-reeling catfish again on the river! Hope you do another trip soon. Best, Chris
We pulled the end off and used a skewer to turn them inside out. Best bait.
As a kid in early 70’s would help my dad fill up half gallon paper milk jugs with them. He froze them for later use. Used cane poles to knock them down
Nothing better than hearing the grease popping with fresh fried catfish. enjoy all your videos.
They are the best live bait I’ve ever used. Fish go crazy for these!
I knowed some old fellars, including my old man, used to call them "Patalka" worms, or Patalca worms, haha. And they also call a mimosa tree, a firmosa, but that's them old briar hoppers or billhillys for you. Don't matter what anybody says, most folks knows what their talking about, for the most part. We've got Catalpa trees all around here and i used to check them all every year and never saw the first worm on any of them. I don't know, maybe it was something to do with the tree or something..

Catawba
Important to get your deep fry oil hot enough to sizzle when you drop batter fish in, or the filet will turn into an oil sponge. You can test it with a tiny piece of fish. Looks delicious. I score the filet skin on the fish, peel it off with pliers, then cut the filet off. Fresh fish hard to beat. Good to have the bowfishing rig at the ready, if the environment becomes target rich for carp or gar.
Love it! Catman getting back to his roots.
Louisiana Fish Fry mix is the best. That looked like mighty fine eating CM.
Just missed the part where he packs his antler hole.pipe and fires it up lol
Love these fishing videos!
Good stuff Catman! Nothing like frying up some fresh catfish on the river bank with a campfire and a whipporwhill singing in the background. That's the best part of summer.
Love the catch an cooks
Have some potato salad with cat fish oh so good!!!!
Remember getting those with my Grandpa and catfishing. In right now, in Missouri, the mulberries are are at their peak. And if they're dropping in the water, the catfish will be there and the carp. Also, we just had a double dose of cicadas, and the fishing has been good.
Billy Strings! Awesome!
Thanks for sharing the Hotpepper oil. Gonna try it tonight.
I’ve done 2 river island overnight trips where we catfish and they were both an awesome experience, although we never ate the fish on site (we did take the home). This brings me back to those trips. Catfishing is so much fun and even better if you can share with a few friends and family. They usually battle well too! Those sandwiches looked amazing
I saw someone say they love the catch and cooks - I do too. My favorite of yours was the smallmouth bass and potato hash shoreside along a beautiful creek.
Looks really good. Nice job🎉
Here in eastern KY everyone calls em Toppy worms.
A Tip! Put your rod in the back of the boat and sit in the front to make easier to hook the fish?????
Easiest way to get the worms on branches you can't reach is to throw a stick up to hit the branch. They will come raining down. Used to do it every summer at my cousin's house. All kinds of fish like them. Thanks for the video.
Good stuff!!!
Nice fishing 🎣 😊 and good looking catfish fillet sandwiches 🥪 😊
Years ago when my brother ran trot lines he and a buddy would lay an old bed sheet under the tree. Then they beat the branches with 10-12 ft bamboo poles to knock the worms out onto the sheet. Easy pickup. I knew about 2 trees, one would bloom, the other didn't. Every year the one that bloomed had worms, the one that didn't never had a worm.
Nice fishing and shorelunch. I'm a little jealous, West Nile got all of our whip-poor-wills in Southern Illinois. Hopefully they make a comeback.
I miss fishing with them we had a tree but they all left years ago
Great video buddy. You keep up the good work and you will make a living at this someday and God bless
Looks like the KY river, parts of it. Now some places there looks like the Licking river.
I like you ! Catch and release in the cooler! Heck yea. I just subscribed
I’ve come across one hanging out over the water. Bluegill and small catfish hanging out under it. You’d hook a bluegill and the catfish would be trying to steal the lure out of their mouths. It’d be funny seeing them hang out of a bluegills mouth and they’d still be trying to eat everything that fell in.
One of the best baits here in Southeast Missouri back in the day.. I say back in the day because the farmers have killed everything around here. Haven't seen one since mid 1980's
Made me hungry just watching .
Catman, I want a garden video. I know you have a magnificent garden.
Knocked out a many tawba worms with a cane pole Always put some in a small butter bowel to freeze for fall fishing. We fish the deep side of the creeks in the shade to mop up on those cats. Great video Hammer Down Catman
Us a long cane pole to get the ones we used
I used to catch big bluegills with these when I was very young.
Catawba worms are so juicy… tempted to eat them myself 😂
I have three big catalpa trees by my house. North eastern Ohio. I need to check to see if these worms are on them. The flowers just popped out the last couple weeks.
Missing that sliced mater man!
5 star good job
This is 2 years in a row that neither one of my trees have had worms on them
Wish our hatches were this early. For whatever reason ours is always late. My grandfather had ~100 plants
What all was in the hot pepper oil?
Can we get a tour of this boat? I love tiller steer old school boats. Just don’t know what they are called, or info We had a 14’ flat bottom Jon growing up
You should try chicken liver best catfish bait
Years ago that’s all we fished with and caught everything in the river
I had a Bettle spin that color and caught tons of Large mouth.
Catfish 🍬 candy!
You about starved me watching you put the pepper oil on that fish lol.
A ole timer told me that you could take extra "Catawba" worms, put them in a freezable container, cover the worms in cornmeal, and freeze them for later in the year...?
lol I thought u were going to eat the worms!
Shoowee!!
The dirty 🦆!
Catawba or Tamba worms.
