I am glad to see someone showing the life in these little overlooked holes. I have 21 years in the state conservation department and the places where we have found fish living is always a head scratcher.
Fish eggs get stuck to the legs and feet of birds walking along the banks of lakes and streams and then are deposited in other water sources, like retention ponds etc.
I think its the fact that they are overlooked that gives them life. heavily urbanised environments (which can often lead to pollution and contaminants leaking into the river) and overfishing can be quite detrimental to fish stocks - even if you do catch and release there are a lot who dont.
some fish just manage to find places where nobody can touch them or fishes there and thrive even if the overall quality of water isnt that great.
@@R.L.Thomas my brother tod me this a few years ago. I guess its true. thanks.
Your method of throwing castnet is unique.
Loved it
For those of you who have never eaten carp you are missing out on some of the best fish I've ever eaten. My neighbor was from Iraq he went fishing and carp is what he brought home. I was curious so I asked him if it was good. He responded that carp is a delicacy in Iraq. He cooked one on the grill and brought it to us with homemade pickled peppers and naan. THE BEST MOTHER EFFING FISH TACO I'VE EVER EATEN!!!!!
I don't like fish in my tacos but if it's a white fish and not too strong I'd try it. We used to sell the ones we caught on corn to the older Russian ladies who worked for my papa. Cast netting seems so fun but Utah has sooo many rules for bait.
@@duanemartin7742 It is a white fish very mild fish flavor. What impressed me was the rib bones. They looked like pork rib bones, they were quite large. Super tasty.
@@whoru2judge476 hmmm.. perhaps in a stew with mussels, scallops and potatoes? I caught one once here in Utah and it was an iridescent blue, red, and purples. I'd never seen a carp like that nor have I since. It was in a somewhat polluted river in Salt Lake. All I could think of is that their diets include rainbows but that's probably not the case.
Carp are put in ditches and creeks to keep vegetation eaten down and the waterway unobstructed. An unobstructed drainage ditch means no flooding, but, don’t let that stop your netting them for bait.
love your videos man thanks for teaching me cast net tips much respect to you and your channel
If you tried that in the UK you'd get a tesco shopping trolley, a used tyre and an old pushbike...
And a slap on the bank if done that to a carp 💪
@@sampson8023 lol i was thinking the same thing after watching some videos of how people fawn over carp there. its weird how here they are treated as something banal while there they are seen in the same way bass is here.
Up vote for shopping trolley (shopping cart) a used tyre(tire)and an old pushbike...(bike) . Feel like I'm in jolly olde 😁
I just love that you cast that net in the weirdest places and always report back on what you catch whether big or small.
FINALLY ANOTHER CAST NET VIDEO
You the man keep it goin
Thanks!
you know there is an easy cast net, with a plastic circle in the middle, which will make your life a lot easier and reduce the time it takes you to prepare each throw? like your videos!
i just got a 4 foot super spreader castnet. its by far the greatest bait net i have ever used.
People need not criticize your net method. I’ve only seen a couple of your vids but Heck you’re about the best small netter I’ve ever seen. If I were a fish I sure wouldn’t want you throwing that thing at me. YIKES 😳 Lol 😂
Says to the fish: " It's ok guys". Fish: No it's not!!!
This was pretty awesome 👏
Leave those carp in the field!
Hello, I'm called the (Eight Rodd Banditt) 🎣 but my real name is Cory, thanks to you for the videos! 🎣
Loved it, thanks
thank u so much for humanely dispatching of the fish u catch, i hate watching people just let them suffer while they try to breathe. I always kill fish immediately if im gonna keep them.
HALIBUTS are SHOT; TUNA get their throat slit.
Y kill the carp
Carp can breathe air. Not all species of fish suffocate if they are out of the water.
Your method of throwing a cast net is different. But it works my brother. Keep the green videos coming
This is legit, not like those fishing net ads posted on face book where they edit it and bring a mixture of dead, fake, and live fish that were put in the net prior to cast. Lol did you guys see that fishing pole net LMAO
As soon as I would have saw that snake. VLOG...OVER!😩
Your throwing technique is giving me anxiety but seriously your videos are great!
Good luck
Hahah that’s so awesome!
Edit: those are grass carp. I’d of cut them all up.
Thanks! These ones are common carp, which are considered naturalized here, so no issues letting these ones go.
@@wildlifefishingshow ahh thanks for correcting me ✊
@@wildlifefishingshow - Carp over here are invasive species & you would get a fine etc if you put them back. They root up the underwater environment for our native species. KILL ‘EM.
If you put a polarising filter on your GoPro you won’t get as much reflection off the water and we can see what you see through the water
Interesting. Never knew they had filters for GoPros. May have to check it out.
@@TheFishAndTrips search term “polarising filter water reflection”
Result: Well, simply put, a polarizing filter reduces glare and darkens reflections on water. ... As you can see, the clouds are no longer visible in the water because the polarizing filter has darkened the water down and cut out the reflection
Keep up the good work very interesting. Love your passion
Where is this taking place?
About 20 years ago I was casting in a resevoir in Georgia and I thought I was stuck on a log. My uncle helped me pull out the biggest carp I have ever seen. I have read that they are really good to eat if you do it right. I guess one way is to pick the meat out with chopsticks. North Koreans eat it raw. I personally won't eat fresh water fish raw unless it's for survival. I haven't tried it but I will one of these days. I guess the scales are like armor. I just chuckled a little bit because I know some people from Burma that would be upset seeing you use them for bait. They eat parts of the fish that I would consider unheaalthy.
OOH YEAH CONGRATULATIONS MY BROTHER 👊 KEEP DOING YOUR THANG 👍
As long as the cast works , why change ?
Can't wait to see what you get dude!
About the cast net throwing, I saw a boy threw it out in a perfect wide-open circle shape in a video. However, the way he threw it including himself turning several circles in high speed. That method would probably made people fall into the water in most of the locations we saw here.
Cool videos. Where I'm at it's really only legal to net bait mostly so it's cool to see bigger fish caught.
Nice video. My brother has been fishing in small creeks and bayou's around the outskirts of houston for years. Its amazing what he finds in them.
I've also caught some good fish in the Houston suburbs, I'm on the north and the northwest side.
@@chipnorton3549 Nice. Where exactly? I'm looking for some nice spots when I cant tra vel far for recreational fishing.
I have a cast net but its illegal to use in uk except in sea and im 30 miles from coast,i see what you Americans are allowed to do and i understand why the little spat our countries had happened ,after all you might of had the joys of every piece of land being owned,wild camping illegal,hunting illegal because every piece of land owned by someone same as rivers and lakes,only allowed to have non locking knife under 3 inches,you dont know how good you've got it
we're moving in that direction unfortunately. Let's just join the Russians, 12 times zones of fishing and camping!
Dude, chill. There's a damn gulf or relevance between cast netting fresh water and knife issues in the UK. I understand you're trying to make a point, but it's not a point relevant to this video.
Also, don't assume "we Americans" are remotely all the same. I guarantee you my political and environmental views are dramatically different from many of the people even subscribed to this channel.
My dad owns a house and lives in Florida,his partner is american,i.was making a point on the American lifestyle about the difference between u.s and u.k based on my connection with u.s,,,i was making the point because you had massive carp you was chopping up for bait and i was thinking how hard that would be with the tiny knife we can carry and how much easier fishing is with knives you are allowed and how enjoyable it would be if i could net fish without being arrested,,,,i dont make assumptions about anyone but from your previous videos i see how much you enjoy your lifestyle and i wish the English could enjoy that to without going to jail for it,,,for what you did in your video we would be fined many thousands of pounds,,,imagine that your day out would cost us with lawyers and fine fees about £3000
Ex Brit here in Canada , move here many years ago from Maidenhead near Windsor . I was fantastic here till the no trespassing laws went in to affect 1976 no as bad as uk but it’s getting there . There is a big divide between county people and Urbanites . I wanted to move north of Lake Superior but my son lives in the most populated area and my girlfriend won’t move but we have great fishing in Lake Erie and Huron and Ontario only you need a boat and I prefer to fish rivers and streams which get to warm here in south western Ontario . Also to many regulations here also
@@nickking1510 We have the same problems here just a different flavor. When the property boom in the 1980s occurred. many companies bought up beach side properties and built condominiums blocking off the local residents from the ocean. Florida residents suffered the most.
We get it, you REALLY love your method. Your method is probably the greatest method ever created. You are the most awesome of all cast net throwers.
If you haven't figured it out, the entire point of talking about the method is to make people want to comment (it increases the video's reach). Got ya.
@@wildlifefishingshow This will be last time I click on one of your videos. I have clicked the don't recommend your channel option. I won't be seeing anymore of you. Good bye!
@@tandemaxle1831 Nobody cares, lol. I get millions of views a moth, you're a fraction of a fraction of a fraction.
Where was this?
Good thing you put the carp back, har har har...
Where I live, releasing live carp once caught is illegal. They do so much damage and eat young of other fish, the State has declared war on them.
How did you dispatch the fish quick and painless as possible?
Knife through the spine
Joe Dirt goes net fishing hahahahaha
i have 2 of that exact cast net.
The carp are spanning that's why they are all grouping together.
I've gotta get going on this!!! Amazing!
What state are you located in?
I'm in Texas.
@@wildlifefishingshow So is that a "creek" or one of those little bayous in the Houston area?
@@Archimedes616 Its a drainage ditch. ;)
We’re is this spot at if u don’t main me asking
Great spin on the net. One thing on my bucket list.
I still don't get how it actually works? Would not fish hear the splash of the net, fast swim to the bottom then even faster swim in one direction and "not get caught"?
Or is their immediate reaction to the splash to swim up? I bet it is because otherwise this net will not be working right?
Seems like magic! Anyway the first fish looked like a carp, is that native? or is it the invasive asian carp?
Well this creek is so shallow they don't really have a chance to swim away. In theory, most baitfish you want to throw at like mullet and shad are in big schools, so even as they try to run they basically get in each other's way.
@@wildlifefishingshow Thanks for the info!
You get roadside fish!!!
Where is he from
Good fisherman.
What brand net do you use?
Bro you get caught in Australia putting carp back in the water. You'll get a serviour large find.
could you do a catch and cook video
Releasing carp back in to the water is illegal in Australia as they are a pest fish.
Same in Texas.
Where are you from? Anyone know what area he is in or state?
Houston Texas
definitely looks like Houston..
It is 👍
I believe you are in the Houston area. Correct?
Yep, that's right
@@wildlifefishingshow I'm from there, but living currently in Arkansas. Really enjoy your videos.
That looks like the west side of Houston.
From texas here. Everyone Ik throws a cast net like that...
Pretty cool. May have to buy one. Would Dick's have cast nets?
Nice 👌
A blind squirrel finds a but every now and then
What kind of snake was it?
Diamond backed water snake
I have always wanted to do this at the bottom of a dam where trout are released.
Hey bro that's some good bait fish there. Do you do any crappie fishing?
Not as much as I'd like. On a scale of one to ten, my carp catching skills are like a ten but my crappie catching skills are like a two, lol.
@@wildlifefishingshow I feel you man, crappie fishing can be very frustrating at times. But man I do love it when I catch a slab on a jig.....
Oat meal and bread balls will help concentrate the bait .
So long rehearsal for simple cast net???
Is this in sugarland?
Are there any laws against using cast nets in Texas?
Regulations, yes. Size of net, what you can or can't keep, what you can do with the fish caught in it, etc. So not really 'laws against it' but 'regulations on it.'
@@wildlifefishingshow thanks
Are carp invasive species?
Depends on the variety. The common carp is considered naturalized (introduced but not harmful) whereas the grass carp is still listed as invasive.
1st time watching your video. is this in texas?
oh it is. should have done my research before asking. lol. anyways ive been seeing alot of people go in this place. maybe you should try too. 29.643385, -95.639382
You might catch more fish if you sling the net and let it open instead of lazily tossing it. Shouldn’t be that difficult with such a small net
It's clearly opening all the way, whether or not I'm "slinging" it is completely irrelevant 😂
I thought you couldn’t keep carp? Maybe I’m wrong
In Texas you can, maybe it changes state to state.
@@wildlifefishingshow yea I think it’s just florida where I am
Очень хороший улов . На очень маленькую сетку .
Carp !Mmmmmm taste like .........Carp!
Wow ....ok sir
What area
Houston
Where I cme from that's a small river.
is carp edible?
Some people say it's good smoked....ill pass though.
carp are a great way to ruin a cast net but great for cut bait , try when a spawn is on w shad going for the eggs
What is carp doing in United States?
They were introduced here quite some time ago. Some species are damaging to the environment in certain regions and considered invasive and some fit right in other regions without an issue.
@@wildlifefishingshow Well both grass carp and eurasian carp are delicious to eat so it shouldnt be a big problem in regions that affects in negative way. People here in Europe would probably pull their hair of seing you use carp as bait. :-)
hi next time you go fishing try crushing the barb of the hook down
makes for easy unhooking and less damage to the fish.
love most of the vids....
Of course it's unreal, it's a net.
Nice go home clean and fry with an ice cold beer to wash it down.
Carp as bait, wtf? You can eat them you know, just a matter of how you do them.
What happens.. it gets hung up and ripped lol
Look at the size of that snake.....
I catch more bait than I can use and freeze it so I don't have to search for bait next time I want to go fish
Great video man.. where is the location?
No kidding..wtf are you?
@@taco44051 That’s how you react to your audience?
I like your method of throwing the net better than the way I was taught. I was shown a three point of contact though. Using both hands and putting the net in your mouth or between your lips. That's the part I don't like putting it in your mouth
2 peises of corn wtf
Bait for what?
Alligator gar and catfish
Is that even legal?
Hey man can you tell me where that is I been trying to catch carp for shark bait I'm in cypress
Literally anywhere on spring creek or buffalo bayou. Bread or cream corn works best for me
No idea as to How he is throwing that net !
I wonder… what is a successful carp fisherman’s net worth?
About $50, and thats about the same for either way you could read that question, lol.
@@wildlifefishingshow LOL!!!
Net maybe too small.
Where the hell is his? Why do you assume everybody knows where you are. How am I supposed to know? Osmosis?
I assume you don't know where I am. Why do you assume I want you to know?
can you compress the folding of the net please VERY boring after the first couple of throws.
Heh, no
