I built 3 of these some 15 years ago, but I used a heat gun for bending the spears on the throat... No string ever needed... and they're as perfect as the day I bent them... They work great...Great video...
I was just thinking along the same lined.
Great job but personally I'm a bit surprised and shocked to see you waste the bottom "crown" of the bucket which makes as good of if not better throat than the upper half. I mean why not use it as well seeing as you've already done the work? I prefer to get two throats per bucket if I'm going through the trouble to orange peel one for traps. But then again....i also perforate both buckets to the max with a 7/8" paddle bit to shed as much weight as possible as well as allow better visibility as to what may be waiting inside the trap. I also make an inward opening one way spring loaded door on the bottom of the bottom bucket for fast dumping and baiting that way where my two buckets connect as well as my throat connects can remain permanently secured and sealed shut for added strength and longer life.
You can actually Get two throats with one bucket ya just cotta leave about 1 to 2 inches on the bottom side of the Bucket ,then cut the bottom out of that ring , it works ,this is a Awesome Throat Works with square buckets for Slat Traps too
Using both sides of crown is a great idea. Doesn’t his lid serve the same purpose as your spring loaded door? THANK YOU BOTH FOR SHARING
Great tip sir... And pretty simple to do... Thank you for taking time to sher great tips like always!!!
Ever think instead of cutting bottom off, just cut pattern. Then cut bottom from bottom, instead of on side and make two throats out 1 bucket. It won’t fit in exactly the same but I’m sure it would work. Then you could make 2 traps out of 5 buckets instead of six. Just a thought, but I’m going to try it. I may end waiting a bucket but I guess we’ll see. Still a great idea.
Would it not be a good idea instead of discarding the bottom cut out, trying to use in in another trap? Just cut a hole for desired fish size in the bottom and make another throat out of the leftover bottom. Just a thought.
Makes me wanna pick up the couple of buckets I've seen on the side of the road on the way to work.
That's funny!
Interesting. Suggestion, in Home Depot they sell screw on lids, that way you don't have to add a pull on strap.
Loved the shout out to the Jonesville Net Co. in Jonesville Louisiana
I always thought you could make a throat out of Road cones
If you want small fish
Great video partner!.
I’m in Oklahoma and have a farm fed catfish pond and was looking for something to bring bigger ones out .
Very helpful and grateful.
Have a blessed day and look forward to your other videos…
Would Zip Ties work in stitching this together--you wouldn't have to cinch them up until you had a better idea of the size of your throat?
Yes, absolutely!
I love love love how you include your opinions about fishing laws and the government I was cracking up at "obey the kings laws you don't wanna catch a fish the wrong way"
Making a couple for Christmas presents! Thanks, Meat Trapper! Also giving the recipe for catfish cheese!

What would happen if you used a heat gun and heated the triangle up near the top and bent them in until they cool off
Got me to thinking. Have you ever tried installing a place where you could put a couple glow sticks in the bucket somewhere anchored so the fish don't knock it out and float down river. I know fish are attracted to light. Just Wondering if that would make a good thing even better. Or would it be overkill.
You can also take a heat gun and make the funnel without strings
"in case they turn the internet off"
its coming
@@MrBillybathgate5 that's not a bad thing to tell you the truth
For those on tight budgets, you can try asking restaurants for their buckets. I got a few from a burger place that held pickles. I need to ask for 3 more now.
How do I find out about any laws where I live?
Another awesome video. I'd like to see that Catfish trap in action. I loved your comment about the "Kings" fish. it's sad but true.
Yep, and if we lose come Tuesday it will only get worse. This is my way of trying to help fight the control. Thanks for watching and have a good evening sir.
You too brother. I've got faith and I KNOW GOD is in control.
Have you tried heating the base of the triangles with a heat gun or torch until it softens and then bend the triangles inward?
Dale Firmin No, but that is a great idea!!
Please show us how much fish this can catch ... Has anyone tried this ..?
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I ordered 3 throats from Memphis last year for 8 bucks a piece and the shipping was 34 bucks! Never again!
God Bless you Brother!
Jayden Laver I know! Crazy! Had to make my own instead of taking out a mortgage . lol
Wow...thanks bro...yeah I used old traffic cones and hardware cloth before well years ago ...but I like the bucket idea for sure
@@Meattrapperwhat's your website I want to buy a trap
@@jamesmock2109 Hello - I do not sell traps, but my website has the best poaching manuals ever written: meattrapper.com/wildman/
@@Meattrapper You Should Sell Traps I Would Buy Some There's A Market For Traps I'm Real Busy And I Don't Have Time To Make One
Great video !
Would this be effective in a pond... or just in a lake/river setting?
thanks
TexasPrepper2 It is the bait that draws tbem not current so a pond is fine.
TexasPrepper2 they don't work in a pond . trust me...
got too have a ride .high or low
That's really cool! A heat gun to turn the crown into a throat may be sufficient . Would allow for big fish to get in and also keep medium fish from getting out easily. Watcha think?
I made two throats with one bucket by using razor box blade
I was thinking the same thing (trapping) on food shortages. Thank You fo the vidio..
Sometimes I have fish to get back out of my basket. If I add the one way throat on to it it would be escape proof.
Didn't read all of the comments but could you use wire ties between the holes instead of the string?
Thanks for showing this. How a bungee cord work on the throat of the trap?
Omg you are a life saver man. I can’t thank you enough for this idea.
thank you sir. ingenious. im dying to get out now and get things going. do you use these regularly? what do you find is the norm for success?
So I made this but am confused as to what to do with the lid on the bottom bucket. I am thinking you said to glue lid shut. What kind of glue did you use? I bought jb water weld and it is still damp after 24 hours so I am thinking its not the right application.
Can't wait to make a couple of these. The Price is Right since I get my buckets for free. Thanks for sharing, I'm also from Alabama, east of Birmingham on Hwy 231. I wanted to ask you about you cheese supplier . How do I get on his list for a 55 gallon bucket?
Thanks for the info. you never know when you may need to use these traps. one thing how do you keep them from floating off, . and you can spray paint them to keep it from being seen also. thanks .
This trap gets sunk to the bottom by placing a brick or rock in it. Sorry, should have mentioned that. Hope that helps explain it.
How many lbs is the biggest catfish you caught in the buckets trap 10 lbs to 15 lbs a little bigger or smaller be nice to get about a 20 lb fish in there I'm just curious
I CAN DO THAT THANKS BROTHER GOD BLESS
contreeman Yes you can!
i got 8 5 gallon cans sitting here waiting for something to do. i'm willing to sacrifice 3 of them to make a fish catcher thanks brother for the idea GOD BLESS
Thank you for showing how to make your catfish trap.
I plan to use your idea and make my own. Thanks again.
what part of Alabama u from ? I'm in ozark . nice video .
Tips for free buckets: Burger king and McDonalds usually give away their empty pickle buckets and they come with lids...
When do you think you might have the .resistance trapping video ready. and could I get it in a did or get all three on the same dvd.thanks
I like this. Thanks!
I like this very much i have not trapped any thing in a long time but i do still have traps just incase you never know i have a few boxes traps wooden toggle type perch 4 leaf clover trap homemade traps a couple metal box traps are trot lines and are bank poles are 110's and are 220's and few foot hold traps but i like his very much thanks for sharing
great video, well done.....thanks
now i'll tell ya what... that's billiant! that's a big thumbs-up!!! i'm doing it! liked&thx!
I have used a old traffic cone before and hardware cloth but kinda like the bucket idea better thanks sir.
Thank you taking the time to post this. Also thanks for taking the still shots, basically you just taught another lesson. Good job teach. Going to give this a try. Has bucket color had any impact on your catch. God bless.
banjowoodsman 76 Thank you sir. I do appreciate that. The buckets end up muddy so I dont think color really matters.
FOLD THROAT PIECES BY USING HEAT GUN
I am surely going to use this. I am thrilled to get out there.
Awesome, Trapper 👍
Mr. Tight Ass here, I'm thinking you could make a throat out of the scrap from that bucket. Tie wrap it into place and cut the bottom open. I might be easier to cut with a Dremel if ya used both ends. Shock cord would hold the shape while stretching to allow larger fish access. It's just so easy to set here and do nothing. Please forgive me. lol
Check your local laws to see when its safe to run your traps. Night time could be best. Put a fishing rod in the boat just incase.
Great video, thank you.
Thanks for such great info. Gonna run with this one! Might you be kin to Gregg Abott? Y'all have similar recognizable characteristics.
Thank you
Very good info
I am always happy to receive your videos........This one is one that I have been waiting for and didn't even know it............. I am going to make the trap and have it with emergency kits. I am not sure that this is legal in my state but I will find out. If it is I will be using it a lot. WHAT DO YOU FEEL IS THE BEST BAIT TO USE AND HOW DO YOU KEEP IT IN THE TRAP?????
By far the best bait is catfish cheese. I did a video on it a while back: ruclips.net/video/4CbUqIQ0-50/видео.html It's easy to just slap it in a piece of cheesecloth or old panty hose .
Good video and a very useful project!
I enjoy watching all of your videos. Would you consider selling your catfish bucket traps?
HUGE Thank you for sharing.. cause GRID-down is a coming
Awesome video sir. Will try to build one this weekend. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.
another advantage of making it yourself instead of ordering it is that there's no record of your order.
Michael Marriam Very true!
Thank You for the great video and information. First off, I like Your attitude. Obey the Kings laws. LOL fantastic, Avoid Troubles. Could You tell me about what sounded to me, Is a Slap Trap? Again Thank You.
phillip staton Thanks, I was talking about catfish slat traps ruclips.net/video/kY4R0tB4NBs/видео.html
Very cool, going to give this a go, thank you so much, I will LYK how it works out once I get it fine tuned.
hint: you ae throwing away a ready cut throat , use the dischord to do another set of buckets..........2 for 1
What do you use for bait and how/where do you set it
Chicken livers work great but you can throw any kind of meat in there. Maybe a can of dog food with a few holes punched in it. Drop it in the bottom of the trap with a brick to make it sink and make sure it’s tied off so you can find it later.
Very nice job of teaching. Very well done. thank you
You are a very knowledgeable man.
Thank you for teaching us.
hey bubba great idea I'm going to try this out this weekend.
Awesome - good luck!
Great trap, I’m bummed you didn’t show any catch…
With several changes, you could make a crab 🦀 trap!
You could use the bottom section cut out the bottom and have another throat .
Very nice! Any suggestions for weighing it down?
Been doing this with cheap garbage cans down in coonass country for years! Usually catch 2 at a time,no bait needed
That is totally amazing thank you for sharing love the concept
I will definitely make one of these before my next trip to the river thanks
American engineering at its best! Thanks
Awesome engineering
very neat
Clever idea! Awesome!
Well heck bubba thanks for that little bit of info. Stay safe out on your line this year
Ryan Hunter Will do and thank you.
Great video my friend thank you. God bless.
Great job man...I could see a use for that for dry land critters also ....Thanks
Stalker Steve Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing this .and thanks for the video of the sd bucket snare works great
Daron Huffman Glad you liked the SD bucket video. It really is a versatile trap.
Good for a bay as well?
Thanks for sharing
l from indonesia, l like konten you😊
I ran the old wooden slat traps in the 60s using soybean meal as bait and was surprised by what I caught, ducks, muskrat and catfish.
i like your thinking
Thank you really, I'm just trying to feed my wife and kid and we have nothing. Im putting a few together right now.
I really appreciate it, God speed
30 gallon drums
1.75 inches? Where are you from? That's1 and3/4 of an inch where I come from. Lol
Do they work good
Thank you
Great video
Hawkeye45 Thanks!
That looks great, Nice trap. wonderful video. Blessed from above with invention.
Better double check the laws in your state.
Ray Cooper Better worry about yourself and let others worry about themselves.
@@Meattrapper amen , pass the bait and keep fishen
Thanks for another great video.
Thank you!
Sounds like 3D printing of trap throats would be easy enough.
Hi when you are making you fingered throat scut the crown out why couldn't you heat the fingers with a torch and bend them in?
Thanks never seen such a thing but I sure like catfish. Nuggets love to fish but like you said see if its ok thanks for your time .
tell me why i searrched up biggest lo gest fish trap and i scrolled alot down and the dolan twins popped up
