On today's video me and my daughter head out to check limb lines that we had set the evening before. The river was super high and muddy so I wasnt sure how great the bite would be. Once we got out on the river we realized that the catfish were really eating and we caught some monster cats!!! Including the biggest we had ever caught!! I also show you all how to set a proper limb line!! Thanks for watching!! Like and sub!! #catfishing #catchandcook #outdoors #trotline #limbline

For everyone inquiring about why we kept the larger catfish, these are an invasive species in these waters and were introduced illegally around 15 years ago. The population has exploded and they are causing a decline in native species populations 👍....Thanks for watching!!

So what do you do with them that's what I want to know? Do you just kill them? And what kind of catfish was it I thought it was a big blue and if so are you saying the blue catfish are the ones that are invasive?

You said them cypress limbs won’t break yet earlier in the video you had one prolly bigger than the 50 pounder take the whole limb bye bye lol. The old timers in south alabama always told me to either use cypress limbs or don’t use them because they will break. Now I got to double check when I go to the river this summer before I go running limb lines with my 2 little rascals lol! Awesome fishing tho bud with baby go to with ya! Love how she said “ I got to call momma! I got to call momma!” She was so pumped and excited bout that big cat! This is the type of fishing like bream fishing that is super fun and excited to get the youngins into fishing and always wanting to go back and fish and learn from daddy! Kudos to your fathering also getting her on the front of the boat not scared at all to grab them limb lines and pull those big cats In the boat! I’d be one proud dad that day for sure bro! Keep up the good dad work man I can’t stress that enough more dads should be doing this with their kids and not leaving them at home with mom left out in all the fun!!!

They are an invasive species here, they are eating all of our native fish. The more we catch out of the river the better chance we have at keeping our native fish. Limb lines and noodles are about the best way to catch them around here. On a good day/night you can catch anywhere from 100-500 blue cats anywhere from 1-125lbs., my personal best is 112lbs.
