Ohio is making a comeback for blues. The State has been taking afew lakes a year and stocking them. Great flatheads in Southeast Ohio. Tappon Lake, Clendening Lake, Salt Fork, Seneca, and the Muskingim River are great flathead waters. The Ohio River is protected where it runs through Ohio and West Virginia but the Kentucky part has been hit hard by commercial fisherman unfortunately. Hope to see a future video again in Ohio. For a Midwestern State Ohio isn't bad for catfishing. I don't think Pennsylvania and Michigan have any blue cats. I know they did stock blue cats this year on the Ohio River where it runs through Pittsburgh hopefully the spill didn't ruin it.

@OhioRiverFisherman Жыл бұрын

The Mighty Ohio River in KY used to be a beyond incredible fisherie for mondo blues and flatheads. Used to be able to catch a skipjack and lay into a good one. Now u can fish all day and hardly catch a 10 lber. The hoopnetters have ruined the catfishing. The paylakes are cashing in on big profits on big blues and flatheads. Even the skipjacks have went downhill. Every guy that fishes for skipjack will do it everyday, cooler after cooler full. And they sale em to the paylakes. It's disgusting how they're raping such a beautiful fisherie. I wish someone would step in and stop it from happening

@Bob Bates I've fished Meldahl Dam going on 38 years and I used to catch 30 lb blue cat and flatheads with no effort. And the bite used to be quick. Now u can fish it for 8 hours and only catch maybe one or 2- 5lb fish. And u can see the hoop nets on the other side of the river. It's turning into the dead sea. And ppl go fish it and u wouldn't believe the garbage that gets left behind. Big wads of fishing line, beer cans, worm containers, bags, etc. It's a damn shame.

I wasn’t kayaking yesterday but spent the morning soaked from rain on the boat, dryer clothes and then went back out after 12 and ended the day with all eater sized cats and a nice flat head. (Eaters for me is 5-20#) Also, can you do a video on how you have your rods set up? Like line and everything? I know you use sumo cat rods. Been trying to figure out other setups, I have a rod set up with a Abu 7000c3 cat special and a heavy rod set up with CTF big cat rod, 80# braid to a 50# mono leader with a double uni knot. The more I learn the better I become!

Justin, Former Buckeye now a Tennessee resident for 30 years but I have a question. I have been seeing you use crappie for cut bait several times. I know in Tennessee it states that you cannot do anything to alter the size of the fish while on the water. That's why you can't clean fish until you get to dock. Am I missing something here ?

@robertalexander4989 Жыл бұрын

There are two different types of flathead in smith lake there's appaloosa and what we call a yellow cat I've caught appaloosa up to twenty pounds but the yellow cat gets huge we've caught a seventy six pound yellow but we've also had two two hundred fifty pound nylon cord broken before and six aught hooks broken before
