24+ mins to catch him? And... you called it! You said about 30 mins and that's what it took! Holy Moly! Glad you tuff'd it out! Just goes to show that patience and keeping the pressure on is what you gotta do! Quite a show Steve! FUN FUN FUN! I see below that you let him go... Good on ya mate! as they say "down under!" ... I'd be releasing to the grease!
That my friend was a suspenseful episode of the ole fisherman right there...capturing the lake murray monster...The kind ya read about in what ? CAT FISH MAGAZINE ! That one took some 4 shoe patience
Gulp minnows catch the biggest fish in Murray….I don’t care what anybody says…they flat out produce every time I go…I could tell ya just about run out of mustard…Big Steve does it again…and again…never gets old…GOD IS GREAT
Really enjoy your video Steve. If you ever have a period of bad fishing weather - you should do a tackle video. Show us all your tackle boxes and what’s in them. How you store your terminal tackle. Tell us what you like and what you don’t like. Show us your rods and reels up close, line preference, etc….. I think everyone would enjoy it.
I am shocked you got that big flathead catfish in on a 6lb test line. I hooked a 6lb hybrid bass on a 4lb seaguar line. I had to pull line in with my hand. I hit him at Oconee lake.
I caught one almost identical to that one once while jig fishing for bass on the bank at Boone dam and I swear it made a run as I was stepping down the rocks to the waters edge and it almost pulled me into the lake. I'm in disbelief that 6lb test and a little help from the trolling motor landed that thing because 14lb test was iffy for me that day. Now I use 25 or 30lb spider wire. Thanks 👍
Steve you are a bright shining light, im more than happy I found your channel, and I wish you the absolute best, the greatest fish, the greatest egg salad and the greatest views thank you young man
You done a great to land that fish with that six pound line and with size of the hook you was using I didn’t think the equipment you was using would get it done but you played just right great job buddy 😊

This is so nostalgic to me! Me and my dad use to catch perch together!! Love the video!
That's awesome
Insane how often those big flathead hammer small baits
You right my friend.
Really enjoy your video Steve. If you ever have a period of bad fishing weather - you should do a tackle video. Show us all your tackle boxes and what’s in them. How you store your terminal tackle.

Thanks for the idea!

I appreciate that
Great job landing that flathead, I really enjoyed your video.
Thank you very much!
way to go you will have to show Richard Gene this is how we grow them in SC
I'm sure Richard will watch the videos, he said he watches all of my videos.
Great video, brings me back to the smell of the lake when my father and I would go fishing. Thank you for bringing these memories back to life.
Our pleasure!
You plated the flathead like a pro most anglers would have lost him on that light tackle. Love your video's
Thanks 👍
Your videos sir are just absolutely amazing to watch
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching my friend.

Anyone here from TikTok 😅
Not me.
Hello Sport... What a big catfish.. Oh my God... I enjoyed this video... Take care fishing buddy...
Miss Pearly that was a big one, it wore me out.
OMG. WHAT A FISH. HOW MUCH DID IT WEIGH ?? THAT MAY BE A 6 LB. TEST RECORD 😮😮
Proud of you Steve!🙆♀️
Thanks Angie.
🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆🌟🏆
Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey i looked it up. The record is a 70 lb flathead On 6 lb. Test line.
Thanks my friend for doing that.
I am shocked you got that big flathead catfish in on a 6lb test line. I hooked a 6lb hybrid bass on a 4lb seaguar line. I had to pull line in with my hand. I hit him at Oconee lake.
Just had to take my time.
Awesome fish..I notice you didnt show a release of the big flat head. Musta ended up in your freezer.
It took 15 min. to get it to swim to release him, could not put all that footage on video. The fish did not go home with me, it is still swimming.
PS, I have never kelp or clean a flathead catfish.
in my opinion you are a good sportsman and a great fisherman. thanks for the informative videos.@@theoldfisherman2040
I caught one almost identical to that one once while jig fishing for bass on the bank at Boone dam and I swear it made a run as I was stepping down the rocks to the waters edge and it almost pulled me into the lake. I'm in disbelief that 6lb test and a little help from the trolling motor landed that thing because 14lb test was iffy for me that day. Now I use 25 or 30lb spider wire. Thanks 👍
Nice!!
That’s the kind you read about in Monster magazine. What a catch!
Thanks for watching my friend.
That was amazing ! On 6 lb string. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thanks for watching my friend.
Steve you are a bright shining light, im more than happy I found your channel, and I wish you the absolute best, the greatest fish, the greatest egg salad and the greatest views thank you young man
Wow, thank you my friend, God Bless you and thanks for going fishing with The Old Fisherman.
Wow, do you have some pics of the fillets you got from that catfish? Awesome catch!
Unfortunately no
Steve how much did weigh
I do not know I let him go.
That was an awesome catch. That takes skills when your undergunned like that. 1" gulp minnow. Everything eats it 😁
Yes they do, hard to believe with all those perch down there it decided to eat a gulp alive.
Love the video Steve, so relaxing watching fishing!
Glad you enjoyed it
Man, what a catch on ultra light tackle! Great catch Old Fisherman!
Thanks!
Gettum Old Fisherman! The Old Fisherman can catch anything that swims
That my friend is true, thanks for watching.
You done a great to land that fish with that six pound line and with size of the hook you was using I didn’t think the equipment you was using would get it done but you played just right great job buddy 😊
Thanks 👍
I wish Andy was my grandpa
My name is Steve, who is Andy?
While you talk about not speculating I believe I'll continue to be a spectating. Nice one 😊
Yes indeed my friend, thanks for watching.
Hey Steve how much did it weigh buddy?
Do not know, I believe over 50 lb
I'll have to give you Three Fingers up on that one! I'm surprised there weren't any Weeds around. 😁🤔
I got lucky my friend.
i bet your arms feel like cooked spaghetti noodles after that catfish.
They did.
