Most of it is due to the bait you are using but sometimes simply how they are fighting

@@batboy3086 I have to kind of disagree with you. I've caught largemouth on shad gizzards and channel cats on rapala rattle traps.

@@KatiTheButcher i caught a pike on dough, fishing for bait fish

Caught a 5 pound pike on a size 1 mepp for trout

@@KZfaqTookMyNickname.WhyNot I love Pike

I appreciate it

@@wildlifefishingshow I came back to the video to watch again and tell you I switched my name from "KD P" to "Flahmas" and I see you just got the verified check. I swear that wasn't there like a couple hours ago but congratulations. Hopefully, that allows people to find your channel and videos much more.

Dark green sports cars are the best

Thanks

Thanks, man

I think since I've started this channel, I've gone from Jesse Pinkman to George Harrison and everything in between at some point, lol

@@wildlifefishingshow fish don't care so why should we haha. Awesome video as always man. Appreciate the work you put into entertainment

Thanks

They were fun to make

It's amazing how much harder they fight

🙏

Much appreciated 🙏

Yup

Ur hair finally shorter than mines now 😂

You mean get

Duhhhh

What test is that line? (Idk if that’s how you spell it)

Nothing wrong with catching reds 🤙

The only acceptable failure 👍

It's like pulling a rabbit from a hat, there's almost a magic trick quality to it

I appreciate it 🙏

It's been difficult lately, so I appreciate it

@@wildlifefishingshow I hear that man, no problem.

I appreciate it

100% accurate

Thanks

It comes and goes, I just gotta be careful with it

Much appreciated 🙏

Mucho gracias

It took a lot of effort to avoid for sure

Until that last one

Thanks 👍

🙏

Thanks

You guys have long fin eels though, I'm jealous of that

The leader is 500lb Dupont kevlar braid. Really good stuff. Sometimes the fish will eat the bait while swimming. I find if they maintain their original direction and speed without angling off for some time, they are probably going to swallow it while running. I was also worried about it running under that barge.

Appreciate it 🙏

Awesome, that's a hell of a fish

Basically the Sampson effect

@@wildlifefishingshow 😆

Thanks

Absolutely

Thanks!

That's awesome, impressing the girlfriends dad is always a big deal 👍

Please get a spinning reel, they just are so much better than spin cast and you will not regret it. Get a daiwa samurai, they are thirty bucks of of Dick’s sporting goods and last a long time, they also come in varying lengths and weights so you can fit it to your style

@@mobiledragon3449 I’m getting a 6’6 ugly stick rod from academy. What size of reel should I get if I intend on fishing for largemouth, sand trout and redfish. Also what kind of line should I get?

@@hendrix6516 20lb braid should work great for those fish, and a 4000 size penn spinning reel should do well, though you might want to downsize for bass a little and get a 3500, so you get the best of both worlds for saltwater. If you go to your nearest bass pro or cabelas, they should spool up your reel for you. Watch some tutorials on KZfaq because that’s how I learned how to fish. One last thing for saltwater use something called a Carolina rig. You can look it up on google, and it works good for most saltwater species and even freshwater catfish. Edit: maybe get a 3000 if you’re doing more bass fishing, so you can get a better fight out of them. You should still be able to handle redfish and trout with you’re drag set right. Also for saltwater get circle hooks and 20 pound clear line for rig making. Sorry for long comment 😂

I'm a pretty good sketch artist but oil painting is out of my wheelhouse

Thanks

That's what I hear

Thanks

Thanks!

I appreciate the support 🙏

Thanks

Much appreciated This was a bayou in Houston

Brays

Thanks

You can email me at wildlifefishingshow@gmail.com

Awesome

It's usually when I'm fishing slow current with a lot of snags. The float is primarily to help me determine how to navigate those snags.

@@wildlifefishingshow that makes perfect sense. Recently I was fishing long nose gar in clear water and noticed they were hesitant to pick anything up off the bottom. They preferred a floating bait or anything they could look up at. It made me think of your floats so I figured I'd ask. Thanks man!

I would love to visit Malaysia. Good luck on that snakehead!

👍

This is downtown Houston

Ok I live in Houston so that good

Depends on what you're trying to catch, why, and where.

@wildlifefishingshow Like creeks, lakes, and ponds ???? 🤔

Sorry to hear, they are really overpriced, to be honest

@@wildlifefishingshow oh yes 100% I’m sticking with a worm or a hotdog piece under a bobber for bait from now on, fast net law in my area is stupid strict anyway

Texas is a 3rd world country

Mullet

Could be a cool video to chase them on a kayak...

Yeah, it's weird but gets the job done

Fishing Tackle Unlimited, Amazon, and the circle hooks are available at Walmart

Yeah, Houston

True

👍

Brays by 288

It's not, lol. It was just the best photo I had on file of one of my large reels that I could use for the thumbnail

lmfao yeah, im big into reels and rods etc so if i see something that catches fish im likely to get one, ima probably get a 50w soon cus i got a 30 for a rod and its a little small but yeah lol, thanks for the headsup but yeah lol

I constantly change the look of my hair

@@wildlifefishingshow oh ok. Thats cool

8 foot gar in a canal smaller than this?

I'm in Houston, Texas. If you ever get the opportunity to head over this way, definitely give it a go. Alligator gar fishing is currently, in my opinion, at an all time high in regards to the expertise of guides, fish care, and the likelihood of catching a record.

@@wildlifefishingshow sounds good yeah reseached about them in texas area love texas blues a slide player a friend had a house in the delta. Keen id probably spend a few week hunting alone get good fish over here. Pretty keen for a gar cheers for sharing 👍

It would have been at the time.

I hope not

You mean do I still represent that brand? No, not for a while.

@@wildlifefishingshow i meant to say do you still use their products

Would be fun

Houston

Because their are rules around netting, just like any type of fishing

What are you going on about?

Can't remember

They are jigging assist hooks, don't know they brand

​@@wildlifefishingshow Really surprised about strength of those. Whatever I usually using just go unbent or broke by such fish...

I study maps and use trial and error.

Thank you very much I want to be come a fishing you tuber but Don’t know where to start

@gregweber9575 this will sound like it's not insightful or helpful, but the very best thing you can possibly do is just start creating videos ASAP. It's so much easier to develop every skill in the book once you get started, but getting started is the key. Doesn't have to be the best videos or even what you're picturing in your head at the moment, just anything.

Thank you

I know that, it's 95% of the rest internet that doesn't

I didn't need it for what I was doing

100

I only do catch and release with alligator gar
