I really enjoy your channel and I watch a lot of catfish videos. You showing your spot location and details is something most guys don’t do on their channel…at least not in the detail that you are. I’m curious about your setup…what reels and rods you use, do you use mono or braid and why. I know that we all have our on preference and reason for it but I’m always wanting to learn more. Great flathead catch! Those are some beautiful and powerful fish. My PB is a 78 Flat head out of the MS river hooked him in 18” of water on a rock pile. That was a great day on the water!

Good idea to "bump" back to structure, was worth a shot. Current is ripping on Watts bar right now, 2.5 mph in the lake. Did my best to fish structure, current made it near impossible, drug all of the lines directly behind the boat. Nice Flatty!

Have you tried going into your settings and turning the aggressiveness down on your trolling motor? If not that will probably help a lot. It won’t hold quite as tight of a lock but it won’t constantly shift back and forth.

@@mickaburkhart14 turned out to be a nice trip. Sometimes that heavy current can help keep your lines like ducks in a row right up against that drop of the bank. When I don’t have heavy weight, I’ll throw them out there, shortest the longest towards the middle and they end up pressed right back against the edge of the channel along that seam.

Some big cats! Why don’t you weigh your fish?
