I'm 52 years old from East Alabama and was raised catfishing my whole life with my dad on the Chattahoochee River and surrounding lakes & Occasionally the Tallapoosa river & we always used trot lines. And my dad always had a commercial license and I have never even seen or heard of this. This is a cool and innovative way to fish.

Never to old to learn !! Hard times a coming. Thank you for teaching new ways to feed the folks.

I have fish and hunted with my dad ever since I was 6 years old and I'm 59 years old now. Never seen anyone fish with buckets. Thank you. Always love learning something new.

I'm 80 years old, my daddy Ann I used to go catfishing, of the lake bank,and run trot lines at night and caught lots of channel cats, but never this way. FASCINATING! LOVED YOUR VIDEO!!!😂❤🎉

Man I’m was born and raised here in Louisiana and this is the first time I’ve ever seen this, that’s awesome.. I make and fish hoop nets , wire nets,trot lines and all of that but never seen a can line until. This was pretty 👍🏼

I've heard of cans but I never knew what they were talking about. That's crazy! All the grocery stores could go away tomorrow and we coonasses will survive. Great video bro.

THAT WAS INCREDIBLE ! Have lived in The South on the water and been fishing for 55+ yrs and have NEVER heard of this method of catfishing before ... Pure Genius. Thanks for enlightening me and keep the videos coming.

Would be interested to see the next step thru unloading, the sale, how much they make, where they sell and way to prepare by good cooks; All would be super series!

I've seen it done with different items but never like that. This was an amazing video and thanks for showing the world our culture. Please make more videos with your step dad because he's awesome!

I'm 66 and fish the Mississippi River all my life in west central Illinois. Never seen or heard of it before. Was neat to watch and learn different ways of catching the good ol cat fish. Great video Thanks for sharing!!

Man what I wouldn't give to have that lifestyle! True southern gentleman, stuck in Washington State! You got yourself another subscriber, Hoss!

I do not understand the people in the world who reject the family interaction. Learning from the older family is priceless. A good way to spend the day.

I have never in my life heard of that! Wow! Funny thing is, I’ve been saving every jug and bucket I could get my hands on, for a gardening project! I’ll be diverting some of those jugs to fishing now.

The catfish in my pond are really going to appreciate that I saw this video. I've been wondering how I could help them breed. Thanks

Dude !!! How Lucky can you be !!! I was raised with no father, no step father, no mother, no parents, no relatives.... born in Fort Worth , Tx. , come from an orphanage........ Garrett is Awesome !!! Look at God Blessing You !!! I dream of having relatives !!! And Strong Men in My Life !!! Your Mother Is Extremely Blessed to have you Both !!! Rock On Garrett !!! Wish I could have a step dad that could be just a little like You !!! Enjoyed this Video!!! Wish I knew people like ya"ll !!!! Peace Out !!!

Simple, effective, good for the environment, good for the fish, good for my table & good for my wallet. Why am I still typing? I got to go catch some fish y’all! Thanks for the video!

That is awesome! Helping the environment by providing a place for them to spawn for the next generation and keeping the fish. Nice!

Those fish are ideal size for eating. I used to go down and fish on the backwater of the Pearl River in southern Mississippi. We would fill two coolers with fish ready to cook in two days. We would bring it home in Illinois and have a giant fish fry in a small town. We would have the yard full of neighbors for Catfish dinner. They brought the fixings to go along with the fish.

I live in Rowan County North Carolina. We were raised up to hunt and fish without using any bait. I use jugs like yall do. And I also use car tires. Thanks for sharing your video. An always be safe and keep on making them sweet memories that will last yall a lifetime. God bless yall..

Man this one made me smile the whole time. I just might have to try this one day. The big lake looked flat and calm; I wish I would have ran out that way. Me and the wife and kids launched in BG Mother’s Day just to take a short ride.

I’ve caught catfish almost every way I thought possible……but I have never saw that technique! That’s awesome! This video definitely earned you a sub from me

It reminds me of how there are still a few eel fishermen in Japan using an old traditional method. They use segments of big bamboo with the joint holding one end closed to trap eels. Basically, they are providing the eels places to hide from predators.

Very thankful for your time showing us how you good ole boys do it down south. Very informative skills. And very happy to see that you put the eggs back in to continue the circle of life.

My father and his buddies way back in the 1930's , 40's and 50's used 55 gallon drums. They knocked holes in them with railroad spikes and put them in the streams flowing out of the near by lakes. In the morning they stand the drums up and let the water run out the holes. Dad said that they would get 200 to three hundred catfish in one barrel.

I've never seen this before, but I will try it. My dad told me when he was young, he would catch catfish by what he called hogging. Wading the edge of the banks, feeling up under in holes, and catching huge catfish up to 4 feet long. Not me. I guess I'm a little chicken. That was in around Muskogee, Oklahoma. I live in South Carolina now, and I will try the buckets. I enjoyed the video.

Never ever in my life have I seen it done like this. Awesome job guys learn something new every day.🔥💪🏾💯🎣

I would rather fish in the lake or a river than in a stocked pond! And I’ve never seen it done this way! Amazing and fun looking!

I am almost 58 years old and live in Southeast Missouri, and I have never seen or even heard of bucket fishing. It is a very cool way to fish because you don't need any bait and you can find buckets everywhere. I just happened to run across this channel looking for fishing videos and saw this. First time viewer and had to subscribe!! Keep up the good work and have fun!

This man and his family will never go hungry! Very innovative way to catch fish. I enjoyed watching.

I am from Oregon and never saw such a wonderful method to catch catfish and provide nesting areas which are in probable short supply.

first time viewing your channel, I really enjoyed it and the folks with you! I will be watching more!!! This was awesome!

CAJUN INGENUITY never ceases to AMAZE!!!

Old guy in KY here and thought I tried all methods for catfishing but you proved me wrong. Great video and this old dog learned a new trick. Semper Fi

"We might be showing these people too much." Famous last words brother!! LOL!

In Mississippi here, I have heard of pipe, can, and net traps, but this is the first time I have seen someone make a trap with a plastic bucket. Thank you

That looked like it was a blast. I will be doing this in my area. Thanks for posting this awesome video.

I'm in my 40's, lived in 4 states, catfished my whole life. I've never heard of such and damn sure gonna try it!

I always love and enjoy something new or a new technique about fishing etc and this was a treat because I had never heard or seen anything like this nor would have ever thought of it. Awesome video thankyou.

Living in Michigan and Indiana all my life, never seen this genius sustainable method before. So great! Thanks for the ride along.

He has his technique down solid. Tell your dad thanks for sharing with us

That’s a great life! Man I wish you showed us how he prepares them to eat. I know how I do them, just would like to see how the man does it. Great video. Thank You both

I MUST try this! I am 67 YO, and I SCUBA Dived most of my life, and used an Arbalette, Pole Spear, and Pneumatic Guns to fish. Using a pole, the only thing I ever caught was a cold! LOL If this works, I shall give it a go! Thank you both for imparting this method! Much appreciated!!!!

Howdy just found your channel. Although I'm from Illinois near Chicago my Dad was born and raised on a farm near Savanah Tennessee and the Tennessee River near Pickwick Dam. Spent many days running trot lines with him. Probably my best quality time and memories with Dad. God bless! Never seen anyone bucket fishing before. New sub. God bless!

That was the first time I have ever seen that. The ingenuity of the line and the process was completely awesome

That was amazing. So much fun! Thanks for posting.

Thank you for making and posting this video. I'm 54 an never seen fishing like this. I've fished my whole life, thinking we need bait to catch fish but now I learned we don't. You provide a place for the catfish to lay eggs and then you take the fish from the cans an let eggs hatch out an making more fish to replace the ones you take. This is in my opinion the absolute Best way to fish. Like dad said, if for any reason he is not able to run his lines the fish inside can leave after depositing the eggs and the babies hatch out an swim away ready for next two fish to get inside the cans. You provide a safe place for them to lay their eggs to keep other fish away from eating the babies also. It is a win win in cat fishing and I truly thank you for showing us all a better way of doing it. We don't hurt nor kill fish if we are not able to check our lines, that's awesome. Best video I seen this year. I am sharing this with all my friends and family. Even to ones who don't fish. Because I know they know people who do and this is by far the absolute best way of doing it. Thank you again and God bless you and us all.

That was just amazing. You Cajuns have it figured out. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks. Family is where it’s at

I’ve seen it set up like that in the water but his rig and how he does it his way is awesome love it man

As a kid I used to love to find beer cans on the lake bottom because they would always have a small catfish inside them. As an adult we caught them in tires. Sew the insides to make a donut and cut 3-4 inch hole on the outer tread side. Sometimes have three or four catfish in a tire

Subbed!! First time I've seen this channel, and couldn't believe how many trout lines I've strung, and never seen this method from any fellow fisherman!! Now I have to try this next time! Thanks for sharing Guy's!

My Daddy and I fished trot lines all my young life! This is a new one! Im gonna give it a whirl. You guys are amazing

If I hadn't seen this, I wouldn't have believed it! Absolutely amazing! Sheer genius!!

That is awesome, I have never seen that in my life and I'm 52. I might have to steal the idea and try it up here in west central Louisiana. Thank you for the great video. New subscriber here, keep up the good work.

Over 30 years ago, above Ferriday on Lake St. John I've seen this method used. Actually the "jugs" we used were old freon containers with a 3" hole drilled in the sides and a few drain holes in the bottom. I'm not sure where this originated from but I was first introduced to this in 1990 or 91. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys. I'll be trying some can fishing this weekend here in Arkansas. Really enjoyed watching ya'll.

That’s awesome! I’m going to have to try this out on lake pontchartrain. Too many issues with traps and trot lines with it being brackish water but this might be exactly what I need to do.

Never have i SEEN fishing with NO Bait. Noodlin' yeah, but that is ALL about just Eatin' Size - GREAT ! Thank YOU !!

Never have seen this done. Simply amazing! Super impressive! Thank you!

I’m in Iowa, and used to live inCalifornia. I have never heard of this method in my whole life! Amazing! Thank you!

We used similar traps in the Sacramento river delta But we didnt use the string line. Just one at a time with a marker buoy. Great set up you have there 👍😊

Remarkable video. I'd never seen anything like this before. It's truly incredible how sustainably cost effective, resource reuse efficient, and high yield productive the entire process is while also being fun, entertaining, healthy & totally awesome overall. Nice job & video gentlemen....thanks for the survial lesson, it could be key considering how crazy the times we live in are these days. Fish on....the rope...in the bucket at the end.....lol😎 Aslo....appreciated the knowledge you shared & subscribed cause the presentation was pleasant as well....fist bunp👊👊

Nice to see you both having so much fun

Not only is this just a really cool way to fish but his method and technique is outstanding. I've never seen this done until now and I'm mind blown.

My dad who is 85 did things like this with his dad and uncles when he was a kid. He and I tried it a couple times with some old pvc pipe on the river batture, but we never had any luck. I can’t wait to show him this video. My pawpaw and mawmaw had the crossroads restaurant in des allemans when I was a kid in the 60s and 70s. I was going ask where you were. Then I heard you say des allemans toward the end. I’m sure you know a lot of my family from down that way. This is the first video of yours I’ve seen. Can’t wait to see more.

Just to see that he's not harming them as he's preserving the catfish in the lake is impressive!

That was a very cool video. I have never seen that technique. I live out west though and catfish, though there are some, aren't the top target fish. But what a great way to fish. Trot-lines or any unattended lines are not allowed here, but I wonder what they would Game department would say to a hookless line. lol Great video. Thanks for sharing FT TV.

That’s freaking cool!! Never saw this done before it’s pretty cool way to catch catfish. Thanks for sharing.

This is absolutely amazing I love it I am 55 years old and never seen or heard of this Thank you for sharing 👍

Wow you knocked it out the park with this episode I really enjoyed this!! I’ve never seen it around ponchartrain area but only once I’ve heard of it, I had a old timer tell me about the concept he did this in lake Verret area, only difference is he preferred old Freon bottles but also used buckets. Very cool Nate thanks for sharing!!

Whaaaaaat! Born and raised in Arkansas……fished my whole life. Never seen that. Love it. I’m gonna check the commercial regulations.

It's the first time I have ever seen anything like this! Genius for sure!

An old-timer once told me when he was a kid they used those large metal milk cans to catch big flat heads, they would lay them alongside Bridge piers during the spawn.

really enjoyed this video. never seen cat fishing this way before. not sure it's legal in my area, but boy would it be fun. thanks

never seen a method like that before, awesome how effective it was and that it allows the eggs to still hatch!

This is just awesome! Thanks for sharing this video!

Awsome!! 60 yrs old and fished all my life, and never knew of this. I have a pretty good size pond on my land here in east tx, will give it a shot for sure!! Thank you!

I have heard of it but never seen it. I have family in Louisiana and remember my Uncle telling me stories of catfishing with cans. I have raised several strains of ornamental catfish and sold them. And the breed the same way. Always amazed me too!

I’m from Monroe and have spent most of my life on the water fishing for catfish. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life but you can bet that I’ll try it in the future.

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your fishing method. Been fishing Arkansas and Texas lakes for 50 years and have never seen anything like it. Thanks again.

That technique is amazing! Thanks for sharing.

I’m from Ohio, 65 years old, and never even heard of this. I have heard that if you want cats in a pond you drop in 55 gallon drums for them to spawn. So, yeah, I see it. AWESOME video and learning experience. Thank you.

By far the coolest way of fishing I've ever seen. I should've known yall were Cajuns. I love it. Will, try it one day. God bless from lake charles.

Best fishing video I have ever seen, GENIUS!!

Such a cool video keep up the good work and I cant wait for the hunting content.

My dude did it again another banger 🤘🏼

Hey y'all, Greetings to you and your kin. I'm in Kansas and have never seen this before. Trot lines, old Zebco reels and cane pole have been the standard. I will definitely try this since most of our lakes are becoming mud flats and the turtles take over the river trot lines if they're not monitored daily. Times are getting hard and this is a great thing to use for stocking the pantry. Oh yeah, turtles are fair game too. Thanks for the great time on the lake with y'all! 🇺🇸⚔🇬🇪

I never saw that. It is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

Love this can't wait to try it thanks for the info I never knew a can and no bait wow !!! I'm in and saving baby fish at the same time plus the best eating ones too !!!

That is insane really cool. Thank you for sharing this can ya do it in rivers i wonder. Can't believe no bait and catch that many catfish. Hats off to yall

I'm just seeing this type of fishing for the first time and I think it's awesome and productive. From North Carolina

This is amazing!!!! I've never seen anything like this before

that's the coolest thing I ever seen you need to get your step daddy on there more often he's pretty cool

New subscriber here; never seen Can Fishing before, but my Dad and his brothers used old tires, sewn together at the bead, with a hole for entry... Same concept, but this is easier on an old fisherman! I moved away from Louisiana about 30 years ago, and I was glad to hear your accent...! God bless ALL of us! WWG1WGA

I'm 54 yrs old born and raised in louisiana and have never seen this. Its awesome!! Thanks

This is by far, the most impressive video I've seen in quite a while.

Amazing, but I guess it only works when they are spawning. I've never fished much, but this looks like a ton of fun! I wonder if there are other ways to preserve catfish that would taste good. I wonder if they can be smoked or salted or both. I think I'll look into it. (Edited findings) I looked into it, and there are tons of ways to preserve the catch at home. Search smoking (NOT cold smoking) catfish. It looked really good! There must be precautions against parasites, because it seems like most catfish have them from what I found. After what I've seen I really don't believe I'll be trying catfish sashimi anytime soon. 🤢

Damn, all my years of fishing, this is AMAZING now I wish I had a boat, that's AWESOME

That was great, never seen anything like this before. He is a joyful interesting character.

Neve, I have never lived in Iowa, south of Davenport Iowa for 40 years on the Mississippi river there. Born and raised in Fresno,Ca. showed your video to my 83 yrs. mom who was raised on the Mississippi river south of Memphis neither of us has seen this before. Thanks for sharing!

Is he selling them whole or skinning out ??? Would like to see his process . Great video
