Nice video! I’m 47 and I’ve been fishing for catfish all of my life and I’ve caught thousands of catfish. I just have one suggestion if you don’t mind listening. I’ve noticed when the catfish takes off running you immediately grab the rod and start reeling. If the fish is running then there is no slack in the line and there is no need for reeling. It looks to me that when you reel before setting the hook you are sometimes reeling the bait and hook right out of his mouth. When the fish is running out and pulling drag, click the drag off and set the hook, instead of reeling first then setting the hook. I promise you that you will have a better hookup to land ratio. Now if the fish is swimming in of course reel in the slack until line is tight and set the hook immediately. Just a suggestion from my experience catfishing and just fishing in general.

He's fishing with circle hooks. You don't set a circle hook, you just reel / apply pressure. Very different than a traditional "J" hook.

I live here in soddy daisy TN. I use smaller baits and smaller hooks and catch 5-50 lb cats. Alot easier to set the hooks and less misses. I cut up bluegill and sunfish. They hit better at dark.

@TopKnoxFishing Жыл бұрын

I've never had a rod get pulled into the water with a bait clicker on and I've done this for years. Back in the day when I bank fished more often, I did have roldholders and would lock them down but hearing a bait clicker scream gets my blood pumping more than a rod bending over. It's also good for a catfisrhman to get some exercise 🤣

@davidlivesay4240 Жыл бұрын

@@Rubio_Eric my catfish reel has a bait clicker which when the line is pulled you will hear a click. This is a design that allows your line to run free but has tension because of the mechanism inside the reel is like a gear that makes an audible sound/noise when enough tension is pulled on the line. They may also call it a bait alert. Just cast out, let line sink to bottom, engage the bait alert that holds a bit of tension on the line and wait for a bite.

You know if you set that hook before you start trying to reel them in, you lose so many. Once they bite at that bait two three times you need to pop the top of your rod back towards you ( so pick up your rod gently because fish can feel rge slightesr vibrations through that line ) or else they will spit that bait out. Before you ecer start reeling. You can also chech your hooks Make sure the barbs are still good and you can even bend the tip of the hook to the side o a bit.
