It’s all about adapting and enjoying the process, even when it’s cold. Grab a warm drink, and let’s catch some fish together!

Great catches, as always. It's heartwarming to know our product helped you landing those nice species.
They have been working pretty dang well!
@@BitesandStrikesFishing awesome!
Hey Phil, you taught me how buffs expel unwanted particles. Now, all of my hair rigs are only 6-7" and I never have that problem of catching them in the gill plate. Nice video buddy!!
That's awesome, glad it's working out for you!
Nice, I caught me at 25 lb grass carp on Thanksgiving except the guy who helped me catch it didn't realize how big the fish was and he just tried to lift it directly out of the water and he bent my net lol hook didn't even bigger one earlier than that but after I was done tiring it out about to bring it in he swam around a rope to a floating alligator toy in the pond and that nylon line just cut right into it and he eventually broke off after me trying to get him untangled
Geeez, that sounds like an ordeal 😂
I’ve lost a few big ones myself, mostly from the drag being too tight and it snaps the line.
@BitesandStrikesFishing oh yeah that happened to me plenty to me learning all about it catching carb for the first time this year. Luckily I got the second one in he was a nice Thanksgiving treat
nice fish man, can you try coming down to Austin? I havent had much luck but you might be able to get some bites.
I've been a few times. It's hard fishing for some reason, especially Lady Bird Lake. But I've seen videos and pictures of absolute monsters.
@@BitesandStrikesFishingdude I caught a common carp over 40lbs and 32 inches long from ladybird. Known for its trophy carp, you can’t keep them though unless they’re over 33inches. I fish the Colorado river a lot here in Austin area.
Hey! Been watching for a little while now and love the gar videos. Maybe I missed something but have you ever considered a Patreon where you could share exclusive videos, posts and maybe a couple spots, similar to what wildlife provides. I enjoy gar fishing but haven’t caught one after many tries and living in AZ makes it that much more challenging and expensive. Totally understand if that doesn’t interest you but I think it would benefit you and your fans especially the ones who watch consistently. Sorry for long post lol thank you!
Thanks for watching, I appreciate the support. I currently don’t have a Patreon but I have considered doing a RUclips membership but I haven’t pulled the trigger on it yet
Okay I see thank you
Nice video, how do you cut up buffalo when fishing for cats and gar?
Fishing in the cold? Bud Ohio has 6+ inches of ice. I'm old and have grown to hate the cold.
I have family in Canada that say the same thing. But down here in Texas we only dig below freezing for one or two days a year
Yeap prod to be a Texan! Proud to live in Houston !!! Nice catch by the way!!!
Texas baby 💪
Thanks for the support
This guys definition of cold is a mild 67 degree day lmao
In Texas, we get below freezing for about 12 hours a year, so anything under 70 degrees is cold to us. But it needs to be above 100 degrees for us to consider it hot, 99 and below is just warm
Can you eat buffalo fish.
You can, I've had several people tell me that they are great smoked. I've personally never tried it
