I have gotten my grandson watching your videos because as his memaw there are just certain things I can get him to listen to me and I want him to enjoy fishing as much as I do. And to do so I want him to learn correctly instead of this macho, rippin, rushin style so many videos do. Thank you for the relaxing way you fish and the care you show for the lifestyle.

In my 28 years, I've caught tons of catfish, but I can only remember catching 2 flatheads in my whole life. One of them I caught was on an electric grape Powerbait bass worm when I was fishing for bass. It was a hot summer day, and the water was low on the lake, so there wasn't hardly any cover on the bank anywhere. Managed to actually find 1 log that went down into the water, and I casted up against it. Only felt one little bump a second or two after it hit the water. I must've thrown it right in front of his face.

@@goodrums That's what I've always heard. I never really got around to trying it on the river that I fished, but I've tried live perch out on the lake with jugs with my dad and uncle many times. We only caught 3 flatheads out of all the catfish that we caught with jugs and live perch. We don't have skipjack here in Oklahoma, or at least in my area of Oklahoma. I'm willing to bet that part of my problem is location. My friend went gigging in the small river below that lake a year or so ago and claimed that he saw a lot of big flathead in a section of that river. But I've been too unhealthy to go fishing the last couple of years.

Only flathead I ever caught was about two pounds and ate a red shad zoom curly tail worm Texas rig fishing for bass. I was about twelve years old. I’m about thirty now and have been fishing for catfish for three years on the very same lake. I only catch channels and blues now.

M Watkins here in n.c. we prepare them the same way you cook largemouth bass either fry it or grill it. When I grill it we cook the fish whole head and all get ridof the stomach and guts. Clean it good make sure you cut out the bad meat soak it in buttermilk for about 2hrs. Rinse it off season it real good feel it with peppers and onions add some butter wrap in foil and put in the oven or grill . Oh yea I forget when cleaning it go inside the head an get the Pearl's out the head then after that you straight. We eat fish here skin on. Not everyone like it that way but we love it here

I always thought some of the bigger fish I caught didn't taste as good as the smaller ones. It's been over 20 years since I've been fishing. I live on the Gulf Coast presently, and don't care for saltwater or brackish water fish too much. And allergic to shell fish! But moving back up north, with the Tennessee River 15 minutes from my house. I have been gathering gear, and watching vids to refresh my memory. I'll be buying fishing license' for Alabama and Tennessee, since I'm closer to Nickajack in Tennessee, than I am to the Tennessee River in Alabama. But I intend to fish in both states.

Best eating fish in the water! I'm not sure whether or not the area you are fishing there has a consistent current or not but being so close to the river channel im assuming there's at least a slight one. So, here's a little input from someone who fishes the marshlands of southwest Louisiana for those high-fin blues and channel cats. I have had nearly triple the bites and catch nearly all that bite by simply purchasing a few small tubes of the old catfish (push bait paste), ex. Catfish Charlie blood bait, cheese, or shad dough, (it stinks to high heaven) and before I begin to fish my selected area, ill open the tube of doughbait, usually two, and cut each tube of dough in two and just toss the stinky nose killer to the front, adjacent, and rear of the boat and allow it to soak for about 20 minutes before I begin to set out the rods. I tripled my catch rate since i started doing this and usuing fresh chicken livers placed inside a homemade, golf ball sized sack made out of my wifes pantyhose "lol", and tieing the sack to the eye of a mustad, kvd treble hook, and fished on a drop shot rig directly beside the boat. I really smackem during the late fall early winter down here on the Sabine River Delta/Marsh here in Louisiana. Hope this helps and thanks for sharing!
