I fished with my grandpa when I was a little girl. He always told me to be very quiet so I didn't scare the fish. Hearing ya'll scream, holler, and laugh while you fish leads me to believe that my Papa only wanted some peace and quiet while on the water. He was a clever old guy. Love your videos. Stay safe.
Y’all were so much fun to watch. I used to fish a lot with my ex-husband down in Southeast Texas and the most fun I ever had was catching a 31 inch redfish up in the bayou at hi tide going out. That One gave me a run for my money on a fly rod. About a 30 min run. When you catch a redfish, you have to work them until they come up on their side. When they start to float on their side, that’s when they’re ready to be brought into the boat. But they are hard to keep on that hook til then. That was so much fun. I miss fishing. Thank y’all for sharing I loved it. Y’all take care. We’ll see you on the next video.
Tie a santee rig it'll float off the bottom using a cylinder type small cylinder bobber. This will help. 😊 I have the same issues with brush and grass in my river. I fish. Everywhere I throw, I get snagged. A santee rig helps me get snagged less.
Another great video! Nice to see JayJay out having fun. I didn't think you could let bowfin back in the water. I thought it was an invasive fish. Let me know
The black bullhead cats in my area are definitely black. They are Live bearers, And most often seen in shallow waters escorting a brood of young. Here anyway, they seldom exceed 12 inches.
Cole, wanna help the fish? Catch as many shad as you can and try to keep them alive. Go to a place like your fishing now and release them. Or, if theyre not very expensive, buy some shad and release them. Eithercway, it might make for a longer time of being able to catch some more PB's. 😊
Also try a medium sized weighted bobber with a 15 to 16 inch leader. This will help you not get snagged. If 15 to 16 inch is too short try 17 to 18 inch leader.
It would be so interesting to see you try some of our British tactics and tackle, such as bait runner reels, alarms, and barbless or microbarb hooks, it would give you a much better bite indication and no need to have your drag reduced on pick-up for this type of fishing. Lure and plastics are a whole different ballgame.
Originally it was a 5 year plan. It's been 1 year and nothing has happened yet. They also plan to restock all the fish that died and it will take a few years before it's worth fishing. If you are retiring soon, I honestly might would look elsewhere. There really isn't any clarity on the future of this place at the moment because they haven't secured any permits to begin work
Not too surprised except for the sunken boats we have found haha. Also some of the larger stumps surrounded by old cypress knees have been nice to identify!
I always enjoy your videos, but the bofin, or grinnel as it is commonly called in the south, is no more prehistoric than a crappie. They were created on the same day as all other fish.
Cole split their tails about 4 inches up and let them bleed out. You can make mud balls about two by inch and a half to 2 inches long and they are delicious flower from any way like but they are delicious but they’ve got to bleed out.
I really like the response series rods from 6th Sense ! 6thsensefishing.com/collections/response-casting-rods/products/response-70-med-heavy-mod-fast They also have a 7'4" Heavy Mod Fast that is really nice. It's quite a bit beefier than the 7' MH
Many regard them as a trash fish, but many do eat them, I ate something made with them, but they’re too ugly to eat! Big thing is don’t get them wet. It’s said to make their meat like cotton, so others would use old newspaper to clean the meat. Still too ugly to eat!
Ya'll make me want to fish freshwater. Always remember what a freshwater fisherman calls a "trophy", a saltwater fisherman calls "bait". It is all about the memories.
People don’t realize that bowfin serve a purpose to are lakes and creeks just like any other native fish. Throwing any native fish up on the bank is unacceptable.

Thanks Jay @ Cole best way to end my weekend with you'll bending rods!
Jay is such a cutie when she misses one. So full of enthusiasm ! Great attitude. Y'all make a great tag team😮
She's awesome!
@@COLE_and_JAY BOTH of you are.
Jay knows how to fish and does not need Cole telling her what to do.
Somebody needs to...she only lands about 15% of what she hooks.
Jay and Cole thanks for sharing your day out on fishing love watching your guys Channel as always thanks for sharing blessings to you all
Thanks so much for joining in on the action! We appreciate you!
That rustic setting with the clouds and blue sky is breathtaking.

In some cases I have think fish are leery of sounds but in others I don't think they care at all lol!
That video reminded me of back in the day when J was catching all the fish!!
Cheers from the great state of Arkansas!!
Jay slays the bowfin!!
@@COLE_and_JAY I have to deliver in Conway Wednesday, not looking forward to seeing what is left of the lake.
@@smithfamilyhomestead1515 it's not pretty! A bunch of flowers out there now though haha

Loved this video. Good to see you guys still chasing fish even with the lake drying up
Thanks! We are trying our best!
Looked like a blast!!! Just watching was fun!!!!👍👍👍👍😊😊
It was a lot of fun! We are eager to get back out there to try to land one of those monsters!
About time you have her on your video.
I try to get her out there every day lol
So much crazy fun watching you two. I have never caught a brown bullhead. Great job. God bless you guys
The colors on the bullheads are insane!
🤩 yay Cole and Jay
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice bucket👍
That was a great video I always enjoy them
Thank you!!!
GUUD 👍🏾 VIDEO
Great video you too was killing it
Thank you!!
Great video I used to catch boffins on. Peeled crawfish tails and Peeled bait shrimp with a cane pole. Talk about a fight. Congratulations yall 🎉❤
We need to bust out the cane poles!!
Tie a santee rig it'll float off the bottom using a cylinder type small cylinder bobber. This will help. 😊 I have the same issues with brush and grass in my river. I fish. Everywhere I throw, I get snagged. A santee rig helps me get snagged less.
We will rig one up for next time!
Another great video! Nice to see JayJay out having fun. I didn't think you could let bowfin back in the water. I thought it was an invasive fish. Let me know
Bowfin are native! They closely resemble the invasive snakehead though which you do have to keep if you catch any
@COLE_and_JAY thanks Cole.
I love t o watch both of you in your y I our catch giant pan fish videos!
We will be chasing some slabs really soon!
When you can't keep 'em off your hooks, THAT'S when it's fun!
Can't ever complain about too much action!!!
@@COLE_and_JAY It's rare, but it happens. Soak it into your soul!
Your video make me feel good.
Happy to hear that! Thank you so much!
Top demais meu amigo ❤️❤️ paz e amor ❤️

Thanks! They are fun to make!
Great video

Would be cool, but super hard to do haha
You guys are so amitureristic
Definitely do a catch clean and cook there
Would be fun!

We need to try it out!
I wish you would use a landing net to bring the fish in,and take more care when putting them back rather than just throw them back
Ive only caught one bowfin in my life. Fair size. Thought it was a snakehead. Lol 😊
They look very similar! Bowfin fight harder I think!
You should do a video on your fish and reptiles as pets.
We don't have as much as we used to but still have quite a few critters!
Question. I'm looking at retiring and looking at houses in Mayflower on the lake. How long are they saying on the lake before they refill?
Originally it was a 5 year plan. It's been 1 year and nothing has happened yet. They also plan to restock all the fish that died and it will take a few years before it's worth fishing. If you are retiring soon, I honestly might would look elsewhere. There really isn't any clarity on the future of this place at the moment because they haven't secured any permits to begin work
@COLE_and_JAY thanks for the quick reply. I'm looking around tablerock or maybe the Cherokee Village area as well. Tight lines!
Awesome Trip Guys✝️✝️✝️
Thank you!!
J. Is busier than a one arm paper hanger
I'm not watched the video since you all said they was draining your lake and now I see it wow
Don't be down, Jay. Cole's first fish wasn't 1/4 the size of yours. Yeah, let Cole clear out the nursery for you. You get da big 'uns. Lol😂😊
Have you been surprised at any structure or topography that would cause you to fish differently when the lakes refills?
Not too surprised except for the sunken boats we have found haha. Also some of the larger stumps surrounded by old cypress knees have been nice to identify!
I always enjoy your videos, but the bofin, or grinnel as it is commonly called in the south, is no more prehistoric than a crappie. They were created on the same day as all other fish.
yeah so ??
Really so were you there that day to know this!
Cole split their tails about 4 inches up and let them bleed out. You can make mud balls about two by inch and a half to 2 inches long and they are delicious flower from any way like but they are delicious but they’ve got to bleed out.
One thing about it. When you got a muddy girl you know you had a great time.
Dang straight!
Can you show us how you distinguish the catfish from each other?
Cole what is a good medium heavy power moderate fast action casting rod between a7' to a 7'4" budget rod
I really like the response series rods from 6th Sense ! 6thsensefishing.com/collections/response-casting-rods/products/response-70-med-heavy-mod-fast They also have a 7'4" Heavy Mod Fast that is really nice. It's quite a bit beefier than the 7' MH
So can you eat them bowfin ?? We dont have em in pa that i know of
Many regard them as a trash fish, but many do eat them, I ate something made with them, but they’re too ugly to eat! Big thing is don’t get them wet. It’s said to make their meat like cotton, so others would use old newspaper to clean the meat. Still too ugly to eat!
Some people do but they are kinda gamey.
@@rocksandoil2241Our neighbor was a Mississippi man where he made something like a sauce piquant. Tasted good, but again it’s too ugly to eat!
Like eating carp.
They put up a fight and i just throw up on the back
...where you guys find these places?
If your could breed tame green basilisk that could be good.
So weird to see the water that low. Crazy they have bloody tails. I wonder what causes that.
Yeah! It's crazy!
What's gonna happen now that the lake is drained?
Her shoes are cute.
Yeah they are!
Nice video. You must be using 6th sense hooks to lose that many hook ups.
Gammys 😳
❤
❤😊
Bowfin supper mushey fish but they make great fish patties
Need to try it!!
We got you babe …JJ for president …the big boss ….slab queen …..rodeo star ……mom..wife…tv star …..university grad …..
Forgot life guard.
I’m from Jersey avid fisherman just wondering what part of the country you guys are in…
Are you doing ok after the hurricane
Yes, we weren't affected
I just got to ask: why throw them back when they are only going to die due to the lake drying up?
I think they are going to survive until the next big rain and be good for a while!
Ya'll make me want to fish freshwater. Always remember what a freshwater fisherman calls a "trophy", a saltwater fisherman calls "bait". It is all about the memories.
I wish I knew where this location at 😢
Yall should feed the local food banks
They won’t take food like that. They won’t take turkeys from a local farm. Nothing without fda control. It’s a liability game.
Would be nice, but they wouldn't take these fish
Up in in ohio were suppose to get rid of them. Nobody does though.
Why are you supposed to get rid of them there?
@COLE_and_JAY they are not supposed to be here. They take over they eat everything.
@@COLE_and_JAY invasive species.
"invasive species".
@@brucefortune5861 they're native to ohio
Bucket
No snakes?
Not this time surprisingly lol
I got flag for telling y’all how to cook those fish
Should never put back the bowfin
Why?
People don’t realize that bowfin serve a purpose to are lakes and creeks just like any other native fish. Throwing any native fish up on the bank is unacceptable.
BOWFIN DO NOT = SNAKEHEADS .... BOWFIN are native to almost all waterways.... STOP FKIN KILLING THEM !!!... It is illegal to leave them to die.
That video reminded of back in the day with J being all over the fish!!
Cheers from the great state of Arkansas!!
I could teach you how to throw that net a lot better!
You guys put out some good content, but it gets a little bit annoying when Cole repeats himself.
Might need to visit a speech therapist lol
You guys don't know how to fish
Are you the bowfin master
Where the roots are you fishing at what state
Can you show us how you distinguish the catfish from each other?
