We Caught a MONSTER from a GIANT RAGING RIVER!! (Rising Water)

Big water means big fish. The biggest rivers in North America are undoubtedly the home of the largest fish swimming on our continent! Sure, there are reservoirs that house some giants, but they don't carry the mystique about them that flows through the waters of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio Rivers. I've made at least one trip to them every year for half a decade, and I hope to never stop. Giant fish are there, and we had the opportunity to land one!

I used to fish the Iowa river a lot and my buddy had a cabin on the reservoir on the north side of Coralville. We caught a ton of cats around the spillway there on the NE edge of town on the Iowa river, was always a good spot to catch cats!! Take care buddy, be safe out there!

@attitudeadjusted9027 3 жыл бұрын

We bump at times and you may want to bump slower between bumps. There's long sections of pea gravel bars on the missouri thats our favorite for bumping. They get like a washboard with two to three foot pockets behind each one. They usually slam it when it bumps down the backside of the downstream side or at the bottom of each trough. Big inline spinners ahead of the bait actually works better at times for some reason. Oddly enough those same gravel washboards hold walleye in January and February and we usually catch our biggest blues walleye fishing bumping inline spinners with chubs behind em. Great vid my friends. Big river fishing isn't like in other kind. Keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎.

It will definitely work for bank fishing, especially for blue cats because they hit the bait hard. If you need a rod with a light tip for sluggish cats, it's not ideal. Hope that helps!
