I also want to do something similar. I've just started my channel and posted my first fishing session. You're welcome to follow along!

CONGRATS!!!....Never forget my 10lb largemouth, 3lb crappie and 40lb flathead.....cheers to new personal bests!

I was captivated by every detail and experienced every moment of your fishing adventure from start to finish. Congratulations on your dream catch and your ability to turn an ordinary day into a memorable experience! I look forward to hearing more stories about your adventures on the water!

Thanks for releasing… people. Please remember how happy this guy is in. The next person will be just as happy throw the big ones back for the next guy or gal…. Not to mention the big ones are the breeders, so if you’re interested in having any fish around for your children or grandchildren, I would highly suggest the above.

Comparto tu opinión, solo hay que asegurarse que el pez pueda sobrevivir, si no, no tiene caso que lo liberes, para mi que ese pez peleo demasiado y cuando eso sucede lo sacas sale practicamente muerto, salen completamente estresados y aparte como el dice es principiante en esto y lo tubo mucho tiempo fuera del agua, cuando se devuelve un pez asi, tienes que pasearlo primero tomándolo de la cola y el dorsal, lo empujas y jalas alternativamente para que le circule agua por las branquias, es la manera que se puede oxigenar nuevamente y si sientes que intenta pelear de nuevo suéltalo, su no mejor aprovechalo pues no sobrevivirá, saludos.

People don't realize that fish this size aren't nearly as good as a 2-3 lb fish. Someone give me part of a huge blue one time and I had to throw it away. I couldn't eat it. I fully live by CPR on fish over 10. I don't even keep them over 5 unless I can't get anything else.

From one Neckbeard to another: congrats!!

Huge congrats. What a monster catfish. Awesome. 🤩👍

Awesome! Someone finally DID IT! Caught that legendary volkswagen sized man eating catfish that stalks humans at every dam in the USA! Every boy who grew up on a lake or river has heard the tale! Stay out of the water kids! LOL Nice catch! Definitely one to remember.

@NeckbeardFishing we would have went right into action. I've been helped and have helped others it's just natural instinct I thought. Nice catch

I wish more people would weigh fish right in the net. Those super-tight jaw clamps that most people use can't be good for the fish, especially those with thick tissue on the floor of the mouth that ends up being pinched tightly. Also, for some species, lifting the huge ones by the jaw can do damage. There's no gentler way to lift them than with a net, and it also discourages them from flopping so you get a good weight reading more quickly and with less risk of dropping them.

@NeckbeardFishing

23 күн бұрын

I weighed a couple smaller fish without it and decided to only use the net now. A lot of scales only have an awful grip or a hook, sometimes a strap with it.

Well the fish just had a big ass hook in its mouth I don't think weighing it would be much worse

@ericl2969

18 күн бұрын

@@joshr.4398 The hook is just stuck to one spot and it never moves. The big plastic grabbers rub on their tooth patches and when the fish thrashes you can hear the plastic scraping loudly against those tiny teeth. Further, the fish is thrashing while its entire weight is supported that way, but the hook never has more force on it than just a few pounds (test this for yourself by suspending a weight of about four pounds using your line and the flex of your fishing rod. After trying that, you will realize that we don't actually pull very hard when fighting such fish as these). As to the bruising, just imagine your own cheek being clamped tightly between those grabber jaws. They have a bit of a compound clamping action when snapped shut and the grip is tight with no built-in springiness or cushioning.

Theres alot more in that water
