Somewhere, there should be a freaking statue erected to Justin Johnston, pioneer, innovator, and father of the modern catfishing era. Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed that video. I've learned a technique that should substantially enhance my pursuit of our favorite species. No longer is it simply a game of bait up and wait. It can also be one of stalking and taking the action directly to the prey. Love it.

That was a fun watch! Using the jig seems like a win win situation. You get to have the cut bait at the bottom and still can be catching fish when the cut bait isn't attracting the fish. You should have a lot less dead time using the jig. It's a blast watching you trying to drop the jig right on the fish. Take care and happy fishing.
@billhodgson4105 Жыл бұрын
Here in Michigan I sometimes just long line troll crank baits (sometimes use a bottom bouncer ) mainly just playing catching drum- and I know you hate channel cats but a 10-15lb puts up a good scrapper and are fairly common on the crank baits-cats get bigger cause they will eat about anything,ha ha I love it ! By far this is my favorite channel

This is good stuff. Also like the methodical testing approach to no scents or tipped jigs. Surprised to see no leader on the braid. The braid can get scuffed and break much more easily if it gets in their mouth. Even a short leader and a swivel might be a good idea. Then with a giant you could grab said leader to help not break one off. This is great and really cool overall for sure.

Come to think of it. I bet what you are seeing here is something I heard talked about in bass fishing. The larger and possibly lazier fish, are under the school. The little ones go through and catch some for themselves or may attack some and not get them, but those injured baitfish become extra easy targets for the larger fish under the school of bait when they flutter down under the main school. And/or, the more active fish are up higher, and the larger less active fish (but willing to take a super easy meal like the cutbait in their face close to bottom) are just hugging bottom not doing much. Would also explain what’s been seen on the electronics here.

Hey Justin. I'm just curious. So I'm itching to get out to my local river in the beginning of april to late march ( depending on when the rivers open up in my area) to see if I can hook some massive channel catfish. Do you think with the cold snaps we've been getting will change the mood of the fish ie cause them to stick to deaper water and move up shallow later than usual or do you think they'll stick to their normal feeding patterns? Or it could be they'll be aggressive early like they were last year. Anyway let me know your thoughts.

In my 30 years of fishing since before the internet and all the information we have access to I've found nothing compares to just time on water. But yes things like that make conditions better but I've caught the best fish in the worse conditions and the worst fish in the best. It's all about having time on the water. My dad always said "it's fishing son, not catching, catching is just a bonus." Have a great time out there hope this helps.
