Catching MONSTERS out of a Silt Pond!! (overcoming bad luck)
Спорт
Big fish in tiny bodies of water is cool, but this one was a major surprise to say the least! Got pointed in the right direction by Josh (check out his channel here / jrichclothing . Once I got there, I proceeded to get owned by Mother Nature. That's just the way she goes sometimes. Thankfully a few fish cooperated!

Any thoughts on chicken livers for us people who live where fresh water cats only get about 8-12 pounds … ( Connecticut )
My 4yr old son caught a big toad and convinced me to keep him in a tank. We've been catching bettles, rolly pollies, wasps and also worms. But the worms were catching in our mulch are like nothing I've ever seen. They are very long and skinny, and they jump and bounce around like a nightcrawler on meth. I've been collecting them for bait, but I honestly think I found a new species of worm. They're like little snakes, on steroids, it's pretty awesome. Mr. Hopper loves them too.

I know when the cats aren't biting I always take out the trusty can of corn and check to see if there are some ole rust bucket carp. Catching a couple 20lb carp is a good way to pass time until the fish you want start hitting.
Wife and I were waiting to see the turtle start rolling down the bank,back into the water,like the time you and Josh had that one roll down the dam end over end. When Sabrina "wife" and I watched that,we both laughed so hard,we kept skipping back 10 seconds to watch it again and,it just didn't get old...

Little trick that always works with bait fish that dont want to bite. Freeline your worm no weight and no bobber. Use a big piece of worm slide up over your small hook onto the line for more casting distance. They will choke it everytime. You'll get alot more bites. The bait will sink so slow you dont have to worry about snagging on bottom or anything.

Looks like the spot Josh went swimming for his Bluecat
Went out catfishing a few day's ago and ended up breaking one of my best rod's. Damn 62in gar jumped at shore, the line wrapped around the tip and it made a run and snapped it right off. Still was able to land it but that's what big fish do sometimes. I need to move around more, the flatheads just haven't been in their usual spots for me this year.

And I have only caught 1 gar in my life until this year, for some reason I can't seem to keep em off my cutbait and livebait which mostly consists of bluegill redhorse suckers and the occasional drum. I haven't found any small bullheads either, all the one's I've caught have been in the 12 to 16in range and I've been eating those.
