    Absolutely love your old school, simple, and budget friendly fishing techniques. You remind me a lot of an old Christian man that used to take me fishing and taught me a lot of the same techniques you use. He still uses an old Mitchell 300 just like you have in this vid too. May God bless you Fishing machine and hope you are able to continue sharing your knowledge and good hearted nature for many years.

    @RobewhO 4 года назад +3

    I've been watching for a couple years now and you're one of my favorite channels and personalities on RUclips. I've learned a lot from you and picked up tons of useful tips from your videos.. plus I'm from NW Georgia and have not only fished in a good many of the same places as yourself, but I've picked up some spots from you along the way.. whether you realized you were giving them away or not lol.
    I just have to say, though.. I've seen people give you tons of praise and leave you heartfelt messages and some other people ask you some pretty simple questions. I know if you get the same question enough you will make a video answering it, but it's been a very long time since I've seen you reply to anyone's comments directly or interact with your audience very much on a personal level. Unless I am missing them, I usually always browse the comments of your videos and never see you down there interacting with anyone. I know your channel has grown and you get way more comments than you can realistically reply to, but it just doesn't seem like you reply to anyone at all. It's just surprising to me considering you are such a seemingly friendly and outgoing guy. And I don't say any of that like I am trying to tell you how to run your channel since you know what you're doing, I only wonder why you don't interact with people more often and embrace the community you've created in a more personal way. People already love you, but if you went out of your way a little and reached out to the people in the comments, they'd love you even more. Being accessible goes a long way.
    I'm sure you probably won't even read any of this, and I am obviously not expecting a reply.. but regardless, thank you for doing what you do and taking the time to upload these videos and sharing your knowledge and experiences with us. As long as you keep it up, I'll keep watching. Take care.

    @markbell4017 4 года назад +2

    Biggest channel cat I ever caught, I caught with an ultra-light and 2 pound test line while bait fishing. That was fun! I would never have been able to land it had I been on the bank. The line would have broken. As it was it was all I could do to keep it from breaking my rod on the side of the boat. Ahhh memories....

  • @klingonsexy
    @klingonsexy 4 года назад +7

    That's about the size of the first flathead I ever caught, last Tuesday! I was so excited to know there were flatheads in my local lake! I have learned so much about fishing from you that I might actually be good at it one day!

    • @joegrande4848
      @joegrande4848 10 месяцев назад

      Best way to get good is get out there and fish. Keep it basic super simple. 3 rigs I use 7 inch leader with a size 1, 4 or 6 baitholder hook. Tie leader line with baitholder hook a strong unit knot. The put a bobber 10 inches above where leader is tied to main line. Another rig 7 inch leader line. Put a 1/10 oz egg weight on 1st. Then, Tie 7 inch leader with baitholder to main line. This will cause rig to slow sink. Once line settles pop rod tip let line settle. Do this 3 times then slow half reel turn. Let line settle then repeat. Finally a drop shot with 12 inch leader. In hot or cold weather use a 6 to 8 inch leader with a 1/8 or 1/4 oz weight. No more than 1/2 to get distance

      @joegrande4848 10 месяцев назад

      Then a few topwater lures. Kvd splash buzz bait a wake bait a kvd splash and a small lunkenhart frog. Last but not least a small spinner. A spinner you can fish near top middle and bottom water colomns

    Hey Mr Gene From welch west virgini! Loved this video, as I am a bank fisherman right on a nice medium sized river that is a tributary to the Ohio called the new. I also fish with worms. Infact this summer which was my first summer on this river, I moved with my girlfriend right near the famous new river gorge national park area. From late may to end of June those channels have lock jaw and become scarce , however the flat heads keep me company. This river has just as many or more flats than channels. But like I was saying I caught every catfish I bait fished with this past summer on night crawlers. I tried everything under the sun. From craw dads helgrimites caltopa worms to chicken liver hot dog weenies, hell I even bought that store bought blood Bait that looks like deer poop and makes your hands stink for 3 days and isn't worth a plug nickel. The ole night crawler after a rain or earth worm under a board has never failed me. Have you ever guided ? If not have you considered it? And how about maybe this summer if you would like we could get together down on Guntersville which I've heard a lot about from people I've fished at her cousins house. That big pond Kentucky lake has been good to me over the years. But yes a lot of anglers has told me if I liked Kentucky lake I needed to fish it's sister Dale hollow and its cousin Guntersville. Message me back maybe we can get together and do it sometime. Love hybrid fishing , crappie , red ear and of course catfishing

I do have a vintage Olympic spinning reel of the same era that I serviced and it works like new I have used that reel its more of an ultralight reel but I took it creek fishing the other day and it worked flawlessly and was a blast catching fish on it!! I love the vintage reels !!👍👍👍

    hey, it's the guy who recommended you to get forceps and I have another tip to share about @3:29; most of the nearest spots I hit are 90% nothing but baseball-to-basketball sized river rocks, so I use floating bottom bouncers that are designed for wally-trollin' to have a snagless weighted rig, effectively it's basically a crankable santee rig that you can drag to actually actively search for the cats.

    As for that guy down the bank from you, 'yes,' you're crazy. But at our age, we all seem to get that way. Life has a way of twisting us all up, so that by the time you get some age, you can't help but be a bit, "off center of the bubble!"
