I’ve heard that catch and release still causes death in a lot of the fish released. Is this bullshit? I’d like to hear from a fisherman or hunter. I want to fish catch a release more but I’m concerned.
'Best video ever...' Well, it's a great watch, and your self-deprecating humour is a rare and refreshing quality in angling vids. From my UK perspective it's fascinating to see these muddy, urban Texas waters and what a diversity of species they harbour. I am amazed that nobody else seems to fish them (apart from you and those Pigpatrol chaps). Can that be right? Tight lines...
Really got a lot out of the "lesson," today. The jack hammer didn't bother me much, I was just so excited about learning w what you were doing out there. Thank you so much.
Hey everyone, common carp are considered naturalized by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. It is not necessary to dispatch this particular carp species. Texas.gov tpwmagazine.com/archive/2016/nov/scout2_invaders/
I like catching channel cats. They can be almost as aggressive as bass. Caught 2 on bass spinner bait and bass jig. I couldn't tell the difference until I pulled them ashore.
I'm Gen-X and all I use is a Zebco 808 with 20 lb test and I have a Ugly stick and a super short Ice Fishing pole that I put a rubber pistol style handle on , the rod is about 3 feet total length . With 20 lb test string I usually get my weights & hooks back depending on the snag ? I also catch Bass , Crappie on lures with the 20 lb test and it's never been and issue . I guess do what works for you since there are a lot of do's & dont's when fishing for different species . I just do it how I have been since I was a 12 yr old Kid living on the Trinity River which was my literal backyard at the time . Cheers to you All !!
Question: Have you ever considered doing underwater footage in clearer waters? Like have a GoPro on a fishing line and throw out where you fish to see the schools around your bait. I've had multiple videos like this show up on my feed and they seem to be doing pretty good so I guess just a suggestion and something new.
@@wildlifefishingshow looks like I have a new mission! I’m taking a trip to a Lake Fork in springtime to try and land some. I’ve seen posts with 50-60lb carp in there
I would recommend walking round the lake before you fish look for bubbles or fish jumping. I fish for carp in the uk and my pb is 47lb so hope I know what I'm talking about 🤣🤣
Hey man. Great job with the Carp fishing. I just moved to Texas and I quite don’t know that much about carp spots. By any chance can you tell me where is that spot located at? I really wanna try it. Thank you
The banging/jackhammering in the background reminds me of the time my wife drove home and needed a "little bit" of oil in her car. LOL the car was never the same.
Some other good spots on the bayous and creeks on the north side of town. You could do guided trips for asian anglers. They love carp fishing. The invasive species shouldn't be put back as per TPWD direction in the state fishing rules. Plenty of wildlife to eat them on the bank. Coyotes run the bayous at night. Might make a good meal. Great fishing.
You need to distinguish between common carp and grass “carp”. The grassers are invasive. The commons, not. Also, don’t throw them up on the banks! That is wanton waste of edible fish, also illegal re: tpwd regs.
Oh most know the bayous are jam packed with fish. Monsters because no is eating the fish out of those bayous lol. We're bot quite Florida, they have peacock bass in their drainage ditches!
Less bait is required on a mission so light and dainty. About the size of a golf ball is a good size pack bait. At that point your just lowering your hookup ratio if there's food everywhere. A 50lb carp will pick up and eat a single piece of corn if it comes acrost it.
In europ the middle weight of common carp is about 16 pound. But every session I catch a 20 pounder , and they are real fighters . The bigger ones plus 30 pound are verry hard to catch because they know the bait and the smell, so if you go real carpfishing you better take several kind of baits with you. Sommetimes I fish and for 2 hours I didnt get anny bites, and if I change my bait its the one afther the other . The biggest common carp I ever caught was 32 pound. But most of the carpfisher have caught common carp from over 40 pound . They only getting that big if they have lots and lots of food ....
I live in katy,TX I just moved to the Houston area from Atlanta about 3 years ago. I used to catch carp in Atlanta for years. I can't seem to find them here in Houston. Can someone point me in the right direction
No, it's a type of sucker (carp are in the minnow family). They look and behave very similar through convergent evolution (two animals that are not closely related developing similar adaptations to fill similar niche's within their environments)
What's the harm of catch and release? Looks like he's doing it for sport not as a way to put food on the table . I live in Detroit and fish our heavily polluted waters of the Detroit and rouge river catch and release only. I also lived in Houston for 6 months a few years ago and spent every weekend in the Bolivar peninsula either saltwater or fresh water fishing. And boy let me tell you Houston fishing was the best fishing I've ever did in my life .
RUclips has been feeding old videos lately. Having fun. I'd bet you're on the far west side of town. Most people would have put them in some hot grease. ha.
@@wildlifefishingshow that's what I thought. Lakes are safe too. They're apart of the Texas parks and wildlife so they're not connected to the normal city waters around them.
No but they're definitely in certain areas (young bull sharks). In one video I caught a 6 foot, 10 inch alligator gar that had a perfect semicircle bitten out of its pectoral fin. That could have happened if the gar had made a trip to the bay, as they often do, but it's just as likely it happened in the bayou.
@@wildlifefishingshow Wowza! Thanks for replying! Are alligator gars edible? Just wondering though I don't eat fish and any peacock bass or snakeheads there?
@@Sawmhlubpag1 I do strict catch and release with gar. Unfortunately we don't have snakehead or peacock bass. Hopefully I'll make it over to Florida this year to get some of those!
Carp are the best fighters considered the size of the fish on sweet water... The most fished kind in europe... The comon carp you catched (12.35) was a bit skinny, if has fat he would have had a lot of weight. I gonna learn you a trick, if you want the fish comme up just stike youre line deep down in the water, he will feel you want to putting him donw so he will do the oposite and comming up.... No thanks
Big thanks to this awesome guy for doing catch and release to preserve wildlife in Houston !
Word💥💥
Lol imagine actually eating Houston bayou fish 🤮🤮
I’ve heard that catch and release still causes death in a lot of the fish released. Is this bullshit?
I’d like to hear from a fisherman or hunter. I want to fish catch a release more but I’m concerned.
@@yonatanclark8242depends on the type of fish. Some are sturdier than others. Regardless of what you catch you will always run that risk.
Congratulations on 300 videos man it's been an honor to be able to watch a majority of them!!

"about 5 miles away" just as I was thinking, damn that's loud 😆 great day of fishing, makes for a great video. Keep em coming!
Yeah, these ones don't include volume control but at least I'll never miss a run!
That is too loud
Wya on this video I'm in Houston
Love the respect you have for wildlife
Omg I have lived in and Houston my entire life and can't believe I've missed out on this kinda fishing in the city! Damn
Nice catches.
I made the switch to braided line. Suffix 10# is the diameter of 6# mono. I've put 10#+ of pull on and haven't had a line break yet.

Awesome man! Love seeing more people get into carp fishing
Absolutely! Thanks!
Carp are a blast to catch. Its so easy and they can get enormous. Great vid 👍👍
Great day out man - every fish was a prize winner! Enjoyed the ride-along, thanks!
Thanks, I had a lot of fun getting back on the carp.
Getting on schools of carp are awesome! love it bro!
I like catching channel cats. They can be almost as aggressive as bass. Caught 2 on bass spinner bait and bass jig. I couldn't tell the difference until I pulled them ashore.
Great video as usual, keep it up!!!
Thanks!
What bayou and where is this located in Houston?
This is exactly the information iam looking for
@@CiskG-cf6pt if I had to guess this is brays bayou over by University of Houston/ 3rd ward area
My kind of fishing!!
A great day's fishing Payton.
🎣😎🐟
Well done, this is the most easy way of fishing carp when they dont know boilies.
For sure, I like to keep it simple when I can
Another great video. Thank you my friend

IDK the method of getting the underwater footage but you would figure it out if tried.
I'm very interested in doing that, just haven't decided on the spot and exact video format yet
Awesome video buddy. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Nice video I liked it.. where did you buy your bite alarm ?
Love that spot for carp. No matter how many people fish there it’s always hitting. I always land catfish with my dough bait.
Where is that?
Yeah, it really never dissapoints
@@wildlifefishingshow you ever caught any in Lake Houston? I bet it holds monsters
@@BitesandStrikesFishing I haven't yet but I've been told Lake Houston and Lake Conroe have amazing carp.
@@wildlifefishingshow looks like I have a new mission! I’m taking a trip to a Lake Fork in springtime to try and land some. I’ve seen posts with 50-60lb carp in there
Trying to catch carp here in South Central Louisiana. Haven't caught one yet. Any type of water way I should look for?
I would recommend walking round the lake before you fish look for bubbles or fish jumping. I fish for carp in the uk and my pb is 47lb so hope I know what I'm talking about 🤣🤣
Com to Somerville Texas
Hey man. Great job with the Carp fishing. I just moved to Texas and I quite don’t know that much about carp spots. By any chance can you tell me where is that spot located at? I really wanna try it. Thank you
Is there any other fish besides carp? Is the water considered fresh or brackish?
Where did you get those bite alarms bro ? They sound good
I get almost all of my carp tackle from bigcarptackle.com
Hey don't knock those reels they do the job I'm a houstonian a that diawa works great with the right set up appreciate your vids!!!
You target carp as well ?
Didn’t know that. You just won my respect bud 👍
For sure, carp fishing used to be most of what I did on the show, trying to get back to it.
@@wildlifefishingshow if you are ever North the borders hit me up and we can catch monster carp together bud 👍
How long do you soak the saltine crackers in milk. Another Awesome video bro
I was wondering have you ever used a Dock Demon when fishing the way you do ?

Where is this location. I love catching carp. I catch and release everything
I really liked the video, please can you share the location? Thanks
You should do another gear review video!

Arthur Stoney Park on the Brays Bayou from Bellaire Blvd to Sam tollway !
Nice catch
Thanks!
I miss Texas carp fishing
Do you eat the fish you catch in the bayou? I see fish all the time when cycling and I always wonder if I could eat them.
Definitely wouldn't recommend it
@@wildlifefishingshow thank you!
Is a buffalo a type of carp? The body looks like a carp but I didn’t see any barbels. I’m not familiar with American fish.
No, it's a type of sucker (carp are in the minnow family). They look and behave very similar through convergent evolution (two animals that are not closely related developing similar adaptations to fill similar niche's within their environments)
Where in Houston are you fishing
SECRET LIFE!
What live liner you use
What no kitchen clean cook?
is it close to Chinatown?
What Bayou is this
Try out the Arkansas river out if you think that there big
Where in Houston is this
What bayou is that?
what landing net is that?
As a person who operates seweplants in Houston, those bayous and ditches are all sewage water lol

That catfish makes me hungry
Where is this and where is parking
Where is that at?
Lots of “improvements” happening on that portion of the bayou.
Yeah, I've heard lots of stuff is about to be built out here.
Where is this Bayou at😁
Huge carp
I really enjoyed this vid.great carp. keep on🧡🌷.

Bro where? I also catch and release
@Finatic you guys need to go fishing together
Would be fun
About 45 minutes from Houston
Do folks eat the fish from the bayous?
Some people do but I definitely wouldn't recommend it
Thought Carp was an invasive species?
They were but are now classified in Texas as naturalized
How does it feel to be on the come up peyton
Pretty good
Do you ever eat fish caught in Houston city limits? I feel like we probably shouldn't....
No, on the rare occasions when I eat what I catch, it's from the gulf.
@@wildlifefishingshow that's what I thought. Lakes are safe too. They're apart of the Texas parks and wildlife so they're not connected to the normal city waters around them.
@@Studio215official that's true, and I forgot to mention I do keep and eat white bass from the Angelina River when I go up there about once a year.
Congratulations, the furst ever american ive seen return a carp and handle the fish with proper care
Thanks, I've been trying to get better about carp handling over the years.
are those safe to eat?
Definitely not
