  • 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.

    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.

      @@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.

    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.

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...

    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.

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
