- Fishing for catfish at night. Brought to you by monsterrodholders.com
In this video, I start out checking the deeper holes next to shallow water. during the day the catfish will occupy these holes but as the night falls they begin to disburse up along the shallows looking for food. I started in the deep holes but had no luck but I move up towards the shallow water and begin to find catfish, as the night progressed the catfish began to move closer the bank to feed in the shallow water. As I followed the fish to the bank, the bite continued to stay consistent and iI was able to find a very big Flathead catfish to end the night. Хобби
I really like this guy's fishing video's, he's one of the best teachers for cat fishing I think on youtube. He explain's very well on how to catch the different kinds of cat fish. So if you wanna learn to catch big ass cat fish like he does go back and watch some of his vid's and his technics.
He really is a great teacher. I love watching him!
Does he teach about bank fishing ?
@@scottabney7622 I don't think so
@@scottabney7622 I don't know if he ever got to making videos about it, though mentioned he might. However, some basics I can give you as a long time bank angler when hunting catfish, is to find big features. Big points in a lake, big bends in a river, underwater ridges. Fishing maps are your friend in this. They will show you the topography of the bottom of the body of water you want to fish. At least in Kentucky, most publicly accessible water bodies have fairly good maps available online. Look for dropoffs where big fish can come up into shallows to feed. As far as fishing below dams, it's hit or miss. Generally, if people say catfish are found below dams they can be, but this isn't true for all dams.
No demon dragons, no cat bobbers, no gimmicky crap just good ol fashioned catfishing, you are the REAL DEAL!!
" I finally weigh a fish" When you see that in a Steve Douglas title, you know it's SERIOUS! That's a Hoss.
My favorite catfish channel hands down. Thank you Steve.
And mr. Steve Douglas produces another amazing video like always! I can’t explain how much your videos help me.
Man, you're really stand up for that shout out, for that guys channel. That boat ephin rocks, your fish are awesome, vids are great. Good for you, hope things keep up for you. One of the top catfishing channels to watch, fishing for that matter. Very forthright with what you're doing, really spreading great information. Thanks for doing this.
I have watched this video more times than I want to admit, and it is still like the first time I saw it, incredible. What a flathead, for most guys, that would be a fish of a life time. Thank you so much for allowing others to share your experience.
This is the perfect video for me since I’m going out for some flatheads this week!
The drag pulling near the boat got my attention!! Awesome video Steve.
My favorite part of watching ANY catfish video is watching them take down the rod. Love the videos, keep them coming. :)
Mr. Steve you are a great role model for the fishing community and I won't to said thank you sir you are greatly appreciate
Wish Steve would put out some recent videos. Love how he teaches how to set the catmaxx reel. Awesome videos Steve! Keep them coming
Amazing battle Steve! And what a great way to include the conversation with the other anglers. Brothers in slime! Brothers in slime!
Glad to see you pumping out videos again
I swear I love the sound of the water when fish flop around in it when they are brought to the surface.
Glad to see the vids rolling back in again. Great action as always
Steve, I just nominated you the best of the best catfisherman on all of u tube. You catch every one of them like you want to handle them with care as not to do anything to harm the fish. You are the only one who fights the fish with the kind of care it takes to get the fish to the boat without forcing it to the point that you might injury or even kill it. You even net, land, handle, and release the fish more carefully than any one else on u tube that I have watched. I have watched at least 10-12 other guys that you must know, catch and handle catfish, and none of them act like they even care about the fish, all they want to do is real it in and up from the depths as fast as they can. That isn,t my idea of showing any care for the fish. Even the hook removal is an important aspect of good handling of fish. You do it all like you have respect for the fish. You deserve the gold medal in all those respects. I will be watching more of your videos and less of theirs, so keep them coming. I will be watching.
All The Best to you Steve!!! I always look forward to seeing your new Videos and thanks for the cat fishing tips!
What an awesome channel... You got it right on big flatheads... I have caught some of the biggest fish I have ever caught right up against the bank at night... 1' from the edge of the bank with a hand sized bluegill never fails me... I'm still trying to perfect catching skip Jack like you do... Hands down everyone has something to learn from you and I'm 60 years old, river fished all my life... Thank you Steve for providing me this awesome video to watch. God bless you and yours... Awesome job camera lady you are spot on with the action scenes thank you as well...
Another great video as always! Glad to see you catching some monsters again!
Great job. Love the way the rods held up. You are a Master Catfish.
thank you so much for the advice. you are my favorite youtuber and i learn so much from each video
Awesome flathead, Steve! 👍
We catch the wels catfish over here also in shallow water when it gets dark in the summer. Sometimes we even see their backs. By rocky bottom they mimic a stone by the bank and wait there for their prey. Amazing.
What a fish Steve! Looked bigger than 62. I caught a 52.3 lb Flathead a few weeks ago and everyone thought it was smaller! Some look bigger and some look smaller but a toad is a toad! Congrats Steve!!!
Really fine video Steve and that was one heck of a fight with the big flathead. Thanks again, Tom
What an awesome video. I love all these videos on this channel. I wish he chartered fishing trips, he seems like a great guy to fish with. I've learned a lot from all his videos.
Great job Steve, really Enjoy your videos, nice assist from BackWoods Catfishing.
Hands down the best catfisher I have ever seen. Would be awesome to get to go fishing with him. He would put you on the fish. Keep tight lining!!
Another great video Mr. Douglas some beautiful fish... can't wait to see you this summer at the captain mad Jack's catfish clash
Good catch Steve. I got one like that several years ago and it was a blast.
Thank you for the shoutout Steve great fish again! We seem to keep bumping into each other on accident. I’m sure we will again this fall!
Backwoods Catfishing

That was some good fishing and the Monster Rod did some great work.

When the Catfish Dude puts a scale on a fish, you know it's a serious cat. What an epic battle on that big bruiser. 28:33

Love it, you are the amazing fishermen in this world,
Great video Steve, had me on my toes
AWESOME VIDEO ...WOW he was a pig!!! That's a state record here in PA Great job Steve
Flatheads plum fool me on their weight sometimes. I can pretty well guess blues real close but those flatties will appear bigger and weigh less. Nice one though steve keep up the good work

I love catching flatties! They are soooo much fun! 30 lbs is my pb so far, but I dream of catching hawgs like that!
That was huge, totally awesome Mate
So I'm talking about catfishing with a guy at work one night and he tells me he hasnt catfished alot, but wants to go. I start to tell him he should get on youtube and watch some videos, there is a guy that I enjoy watching that you can learn alot of things from. Before I can tell him who it is, he blurts out "I watch this guy I think he is called the catfish dude, Steve something" I started laughing and tell him the correct name, and tell him that this is exactly who I was speaking of. Just goes to show, beginners, to old heads like myself, we all enjoy being schooled by the master, keep the vids coming big Steve, I hope oneday I run into you on the Ohio or Wabash
Your videos are great and that was a monster flathead

You really are the man awesome tutorial buddy
His left. He has left the building. 🤣
Hope to see you on them flattys this spring.
Awesome fish steve!!!
This may be a little off base, if so I apologize, do you ever do any bank fishing, If so whats the likelyhood of a video of some of your techniques for that?
Great video man love cat fishing
Awesome stuff as always
Steve, you have some of the best Catfishing Videos out there. Really enjoy what you produce.
Question, what type of camera do you use? Thank you and good fishing. 👍👍
Another great video steve nice pig of a flathead
Absolutely love these videos steve, I hope we can see more night videos! I'd you ever decide to do an ohio river night trip I would love to join you.
Biggest flathead I have ever seen.
Lol. You enjoyed that fight.
CONGRATULATIONS.
First of all, I'm glad I found youre vids, I like them verry much . If I seee you do it , it looks all so simply. Sorry for the fauls but I have never learned englisch... BTW 3 in a row is good for youre condition ;-)
Awesome video man!!!
What a fish! It would be so cool to have you pull up beside my boat like that. Lol
Gratz on a beauty.
Awesome as always!!
I think the Flathead in your other video fishing the same spot was much bigger but either way they are truly great fish. They are that big in the French broad but finding and catching them is a different story. Keep reelin them in steve
awesome video, I love night fishing
Very nice, Steve!!
Another awesome video
I like your catfish videos
Awesome video for sure. I’m jealous though as I’m from Minnesota & we’re stupid here & can only have one line in the water & during winter we can only have two. So stupid how anal our state is! Enjoyed the video specially as I’m on the river now from shore waiting for a flathead. River’s been high past 2 yrs so sucks fishing from shore!
Thank you for the video's. I have learned a lot from your video's. I drift fishing out of a kayak at Lake of the Ozarks.....
Hey Steve!! Great job, you should absolutely have a set of 100lb digital scales because of all of the nice fish you do catch. Your viewers would REALLY appreciate if you weighed a few more! Thanks, Troy
