man that was great fishing great fishing knowledge. thank you for that training.

Good video, I'm stuck overseas on an extended vacation, should have been back in Texas 2 months ago. We used to catch cats in water 6-12 inches deep on the Brazos at night. Just below the shoals in running water.

Are the poles your using in this video medium action? I have 3 of your medium heavys, just got 1 medium and havnt got a chance to use it yet water temp is like 34 degrees in Wisconsin yet. I've caught fish at night in less than a foot of water, I typically won't try I spot if it's under 3' but this video's got me thinking now.

Any advice for "Bank Only" catfishing? Im not allowed to ride in a boat "can't ris jarring my back like when the waves are high from wind are other boats making waves "and can't walk to far.Going to try to find a place to chum on a regular bases

What's the biggest blue that you have pulled out of there Chad? Every time you catch one fish after another. You got experience and knowledge that is hard to beat. And it's got to be cool to have your own rod with your name on it. They're great rods to I've had mine for awhile and it's going strong still. I do allot of this style of fishing but with only channel cats and I really love the bnm silver cat rods for it. Can only throw 1 to 3 oz safely. But it's plenty for channel cats in lakes and ponds.

I dont do a lot of catfishing but what happened yesterday to me got me googling catfishing.... anyways, yesterday I was bass fishing at Lake Gladewater Texas and I had caught 4 or 5 pretty decent ones along the edge of a big batch of lilly pads. All of a sudden I locked onto a whopper and that sucker was giving me a pretty good fight. I finally got him up close to the boat and it was Channel Catfish !! I weighed him at a bit over 9 pounds. Now tell me what the heck is a channel cat doing biting on my chartreuse color spinner bait? And I had never caught a catfish on a spinner bait either. I was a bit of a surprise.
