Hotdogs are the last thing yiud expect to be the catfish weakness. You gotta use the ones that are pure factory made with a million different ingredients, the pure raunchy shit
Some people say the flathead taste the best, I only tried channel cats, I never caught flathead or blue cats,the bullheads are easy to catch and are small ,but they are fun to catch
Knew of a rumor that a guy caught a 78lb catfish on, none other than, a hot dog. Not sure whether believe it, but with how much catfish seem to think that those little processed meat tubes are candy.... I'm not saying it's not true. 🤷🏼♀️
Chicken gizzards work better mainly because they actually stay on the hook just get some liver use the liver as chum put the gizzards in the tub of blood and you’ll have a stringer full of fish in no time
I love how the beginning of the video was day and then when he actually caught the fish it was pitch black out. I wonder if he waited the hole day just to get one fish for the vid😂
No! Stop! Find a large river, or pond catch a small bluegill,hook the bluegill, find brush pile cast and wait for a big catfish to bite. Unless your going for smallies
Depending what type of catfish are on your waters the bait is varied and live bait out at least fresh cut will be needed, but if you don't want to catch your first catfish at all feel free to use hot dogs as they catch bullheads like those here easily!
They make good flathead bait but they're fucking vicious they bite so hard. I stick my hands in flathead and blue cat mouths all day but never a bullhead.
This is a recipe I swear by. Take a hotdog, the shittier brand the better. Get you some red kool aid, some garlic powder and a freezer bag. Empty the hotdogs into the freezer bag, juice and all. Then mix in some of that red kool aid and your garlic powder and maybe even some salt too. Catfish are attracted to sweet and savory/salty smells and they LOVE that stuff. I always have great luck with it
I jug fish a lot and have always had great luck with Bar S brand hotdogs on a #5 circle hook. I'll swear by it. I caught channels anywhere from little fiddler size up to 12 pounds. I dont do anything with the hotdog except cut it about 3/4" long and hook it. I might give that recipe a try though and see how well it works. Always interested in catching more fish😉
Make sure you use a glove that way the pointy spines won't poke you, if using bare hands get finger under spines that way spine is forced out and not poking skin, you can even lay it down on ground or boat and use foot to pin in down while unhooking it
That’s definitely the most easy way I’ve ever caught catfish and super old ponds in pasture fields or the little tiny ones tagged in the nooks and crannies in tree Lines or Smallwood lights Always kitchen at least little yellow bellies or Mudcats whatever you call them and they’re super good eating and really good to stock other pounds with
Don’t let the shrimp rot like that. It actually does more damage than good and can kill the fish if it eats it and you release it. Catfish are bottom feeders. That doesn’t mean they like nasty garbage. That means they eat food off the bottom of the body of water they are in. Let the shrimp thaw but not rot. The day you start using Fresh caught baitfish is the day you’ll understand the obsession we have with catfishing.
I used to have tons of luck with hotdogs in the summer. I think I caught about 12 or 13 5LB+ catfish in two months. For some reason the hotdogs stopped working for me though, so I had to switch it up. My most recent catfish was with freelining bread while trying to get grass carp.
@@bigfloppa6029 so if I hold a pike the same way I hold a musky does it make it a musky? nope And yes I do hold bullheaded different than catfish because they are much smaller and harder to hold without getting stung Happy fishing my friend.
@@mjmj997respect for replying to them after a year lol, but no seriously bullheads are considered catfish and that’s a fact, sorry my guy though the other guys logic is definitely off.
Of course you gotta be where the fish are that also helps lol. That’s great advice tho man bullheads love hotdogs! Hell all cats do . When you want to target bigger catfish you should try out fresh cut bait, definitely more messy but the reward is something you can talk about for years!

Fishing isnt all about filming what you catch, its about having fun and enjoying your time
Damn sunfish and creek chubs just steal everything I put in the water
Don't forget about the sheepheads/Drum.
A way to single out catfish is to go fishing at night. Catfish are nocturnal
Thats why you use them for the bait
Use a circle hook.

What do you consider a good catfish for eating? Usually when I go catfishing I catch really big ones and always see people eating little ones
I don’t eat catfish too often but I say the bigger ones taste better.
@@CurtisOutdoors Okay thanks. I was wondering because usually I catch pretty good size ones
@@heehooheehaa8350 around 2 to 6 lbs give or take. Smaller ones don't have enough meat and the giant ones are mushy textured.
Channel catfish are the best for eating maybe ones that are like 1 1/2 ft long or 8 pounds
Some people say the flathead taste the best, I only tried channel cats, I never caught flathead or blue cats,the bullheads are easy to catch and are small ,but they are fun to catch
The natz looked like they were biting like crazy too 🤣
U said simple. But you go fishing morning, and get caught that fish at night 🤣
Good thing to know, if the catfish don’t bite where you’re at, the mosquitoes definitely will.
😂😂😂😂
Lmao😂
Bro waited until it turned dark to catch one
I caught 17 while filming this video. Most in the day, just didn’t record. And if I did, why would it matter?
