You can tell it's good, not only by the excellent videography but by thier dance moves and moans of pleasure while eating.

Never thought to visit Mississippi. Great commercial! It worked.

This is EXACTLY how river fishing goes. Cats will let baits soak and lay right next to them for hours. Flat heads will run in and attack, but blues will lay and take a nap knowing the food source will be there. I lived in St. Louis and really only fished and snagged for spoonbill which you were talking about in the video also. Snagging season I ruled from the shore with a 15 foot ugly stick and shimano baitrunner. You popped lots of carp also, which are the invasive species. Happy hunting!!

What a killer series! It just keeps getting better

When I was a boy growing up in New Orleans, we lived basically on the Mighty Mississippi River……Always had dinner catching Massive Catfish! Never a Dull Moment!

Around the 5:00 mark when you shared your picture was a beer drinking, catfishing venture, made me think, 'Bet you'd catch a state record buzz!' Great video Bud!

One way I have found to batter my fish is putting seasoned croutons in the food processor and just use the egg yolks to wet them before breading. It's preseasoned, and is really good. I do it with walleye alot, but it is good with catfish too. Nice thing is you can make it as crunchy, or not, as you like. *BTW, saw you showing BB King, my brother was BB's attorney. He kept my brother on retainer for years.

Great fish & Cook trip I would love to fish the Mississippi river one day

Did you ever try-out bluecat in massala?

... 20:38 ... Tip for anyone, When you net the the fish, especially a heavy one, hold the handle vertically. Point the handle to the sky, grab the hoop at the top and lift the fish. This will prevent bending/breaking the net hoop at the connection point to the net hub (where the hoop and handle connect) I have had 2 different clients lift heavy fish horizontally and break hoop on nets. . Jeff .

Bob is great at what he does! and congrats on your first Flatty and that monster Blue Hawg! Much love from #SizemattersCatfishing

Need to come to PA and hit the susquehanna for flatheads. I think we have arguably the best flathead fishery in the country right now. Not the biggest, but i would argue that it would be hard to beat the lower suskie as far as numbers of 30# -40# fish. I feel blessed to live here.

I love the Susque but only fished it for smallies. Need to do that some day for sure. I’ve only ever caught this one flathead, need to change that

Huge tip from old timers of my past. To rid most fish blood lines. Doesn't matter what fish, I use a pair of wire cutters and cut through 3 to 5 gill bones on each side for fish I'm keeping to eat. Many times I put fish on a rope back into the water. This keeps them cold while they bleed out. Once they are past I put them on ice. You will definitely notice the bloodline is gone or very minimal during cleaning your catches.

Bill Dance just did a blue catfish show in Helena/West Helena, AR. It is supposed to be the blue catfish capitol of the world. Him and 2 buddies were pulling 80+ lb fish off of 30 ft deep sandbar. A couple went above 95 lbs. Great video!

Soak the catfish in a little vinegar and water for 10 to 15 minutes takes the muddy taste out. Dust in flour then dip in buttermilk and dredge in cornmeal salt and pepper with maybe some lemon pepper. Throw in peanut oil.

Marinade that fish in Franks or Teaxs Petes hot sauce for a couple hours. Then bread it and fry it. Try it you'll love it. Not too hot and you can still taste the fish and boy does it gives it a great flavor.

When you lift a fish in a net, put the handle vertical and lift by the hoop. Lifting by the handle allows for the net to roll and the fish to get out, as well as out bad stress on the net.

Heads are always the best cut bait. whether its for Red Dum in saltwater of catfish in fresh.

Santee Cooper, caught 50 pounder plus , on rediversion canal, in ST Stevens S,C, they have a fish lift at dam with windows, so you can sit and watch fish from ocean go into lake,( that was before 9 -11. Then could fish right next to dam and even throw your bait where fish came out of lift, course steel grate door got a lot of lures(buck tails) kids had a ball watching fish go pass the windows , even saw a bottle nose sturgeon , they also milk the stripper's for raising.

I've been considering trapping some raccoons that have taken up residence in my attic but was told that if we release them in the woods a mile away they will find their way back within a couple of days or other raccoons will take over the attic. So I'm going to trap them and cook them up instead. I've never eaten raccoon so I was hoping to get suggestions on what is the best way to eat them, stewed, stir fried, etc. Also, what is the risk of catching rabies from eating raccoon if it doesn't have symptoms? Thanks. Stay Safe. Be Well. GOD BLESS.
