As a salt water fisherman anything that's the right size is eligible to become cut bait. My youngest son is a mechanic and one time he brought me a five gallon bucket half filled with used tire weights. A small cast iron skillet and my old coleman stove and it didn't take long to melt plenty of lead down and I would fish the steel clips out. I like the football shaped weights for carolina style rigging so I bought a mold and made my own for years. I also use old cast net weights.

Have you poured any lead yet ? Light a cheap candle like a birthday cake type and hold your molds over the flame getting suet inside of the cavities and sprues. Get them good and black especially the sprues. This will help the flow in and release easier.

Like you said it comes second nature to you so you don’t think it down to all those details. My wife is the same way, but what makes me happy is that I know when she comes out to fish with me she’s doing it for me and cause she loves me more than any other reason. Thanks for the videos, I’d been bass fishing for the last few years almost exclusively and you reminded me how fun catfishing is so I’ve been going out lately.

I'm a little late to this party but I just wanted to say that you don't owe anybody an apology for anything that I've seen you do. I've used small catfish for bait and have fished with trot lines and jugs my entire life. And when we are setting out trot lines or running jugs we are fishing for meat. I love eating fish and so does my entire family and the best way to fill the freezer is with trot lines or jugs. Hell, I've caught huge Flatheads that ate the channel cat that ate the Bluegill I originally baited the lines with. Mean ol' Flathead! Don't get me wrong, I release pretty much everything I catch on rod and reel. Unless it's a pan size Channel and we decide we want fried fish for supper that night at camp. I've never understood people who watch videos just to hate on them. They don't have much of a life and should just shut up and take care of their own household. Keep on doing what you're doing Dave and I'll keep watching.

Had to run out and buy a new fish cooker as when i turned the propane on to mine and reached for the other valve to set flame the top of my regulator blew off into my hand. It hurt like hell and also hit one of my fingers right on the nail and blood gushed out. Got it stopped had people on the way and just went to find another regulator at home depot. None like i had. My Son was with me so he said happy fathers day early and bought me a new fish turkey fryer, Got back and folks were there and what was supposed to be a 6pm meal ended up being a 9pm meal. Everyone got there belly full and i had fish for breakfast lol. Here in Texas it is highly illegal to use catfish for bait though.

Nothing wrong with Using catfish for bait. People use bullheads and stuff. People now a days are overly sensitive. You were only experimenting anyways. It's not like you're doing it every night. You're not doing anything illegal I don't think. People with common sense would know that. Anytime someone is known or has some kind of success. There's always gonna be haters trying to Troll u and throw salt. Any thing u do will be under microscope. Don't pay them too much attention. You're a pioneer. That'd thinking outside the box. Making efforts to cut that gar and using it for bait. That was awesome. U gained a lot of hands on knowledge. We appreciate the data u provided us. For the sissy that's whining about u using catfish for bait. Let them Click the little x on the too right of the screen and don't watch the darn video.

Another great video, I used to pour my own spinner baits, 1/8 oz lead heads & other stuff, the one tip I can give you is this, before you pour the first oz of lead is heat up your mold. I would sit my melting pot on my mold for 15 min & then flip it over & give it about 10 more minutes. If you pour into a cold mold it will not fill up until that mold gets hot. Good luck.. keep the videos coming, I have learned a lot for watching your videos. I am local maybe we will meet one day.. 😎

Enjoyed the video Dave! Conservation is a wonderful thing and a fairly recent practice as far as human interaction with fish and game goes. I knew your catfish for bait videos might strike some folks wrong. FWIW carp, suckers, and such are a no offense option. Smallmouth and Spotted/ Largemouth bass work as well or better. Nothing wrong with exploring bait options in a pinch. Bass make tasty fish-flavored sandwiches! It ain't Walleye, just a larger bluegill that tastes great. Selective harvest is critical to trophy fishermen. Fish are good bait and enjoyable on the table!

I think your entitled to harvest a fish man... anyone says otherwise is being intellectually dishonest. The majority of people out here aren't vegans and if it weren't for the structure of society today those vegans wouldn't survive. We are omnivores... thats our nature... and using food to catch more and bigger food ain't nothing new. As long as we are responsible and make sure there is a future for those species we hunt and fish for, and we don't drive them to extinction, then we are fine... we are responsible and ethical sportsman... we do not wish to eradicate any species... its nature brother... you did nothing wrong and you and most people who know how the world really works... know it.
