Can you do a more detailed video on how you fish the big rivers? Such as temp, depth, location, specific things to look for, and sonar readings. Keep up with the great videos!!!
I'll be hornswaggled! Heck Yessssssss! Spence RULES!!!!!
The ability to monolog on a log strewn river is a skill very few have. Spencer is one of the best at it.

Nice fish, man. Best 20 minutes of catfishing I've ever had was in a swirl just above a Mississippi River wing dam really early in the morning. They were all 5-8lbs, but it was as fast as I could bait and get it in the water. Got 7 channels, they fed 8 guys for a couple of meals. Got to be the hero as no one had caught anything big enough to keep for two days. The next year I saw a great big Mountain Lion on that wing dam about 3am, an hour after everyone else went back up to camp. I walked backwards to camp until it stopped following me, probably a couple hundred yards. Not fishing there solo after dark ever again unless I have a gun on me, it was scary.
