Awesome! That was really fun to watch!
Nice!! Great job identifying that fish, and finding a way to trigger the big guy.
Awesome
Wow wow wow! That was like being in the boat with you. Great commentary.
what a beast catfish! nice job
nice vid and nice split screen too. good job
Thank you!
Awesome footage. Nice flattie, I would have guessed him a little over 30# Congrats on new PB
Thanks so much! haha, I know right?!?!
When I pulled him in I definitely thought he'd weigh more, but both my scales proved me wrong! Maybe that's why he ate that bream so quick, had an empty belly!
Awesome video with great quality. Best livescope catfish video I’ve seen
Thanks so much!
Well done, great video!
Thanks so much!
Great footage! I knew that this could be done targeting big cats laid up by structure. You proved it can be done with patience. Thanks!
Thanks so much!! Haha, I wish I could say I had a plan an executed it the first time successfully, but I actually learned the hard way on this one!
I spooked a few fish earlier on this day because I came in too fast. For this big fish I eased up very slowly not letting the trolling motor get over lvl 4 on approach and he stayed put!
Awesome video!!
Thaank you!!
That’s awesome. Been waiting to try that
That was a fun day! Just make sure you have a good net, I wound up breaking one of my old nets getting that monster in the boat lol!
Awesome. Good to see you out on the new boat. Fishing has been tough with this heat.
Man the heat has been rough and about to get worse. Think I'm switching over to night fishing until we get back out of the 100s and high 90s.
Looks like fun, I gotta try that. I see a lot of catfish in my local lake while crappie fishing. Actually caught a 12 pound fiat head crappie fishing in an Ohio lake. Lot of fun and time on a crappie jig and 8 lb test. Great video thanks fir sharing. God bless.
haha fuzzy I bet that was a heck of a fight on that light tackle!! Thanks so much for the kind words!
Nicely done and super LS footage.
Thank you Gary!
Awsome catch! I am working my way to a livescope or active target. Ive fished on a friends boat with livescope for bait and its a game changer!
Thanks so much! It definitely changes everything about the fishing trips!
It’s cheating….cheating is always a “game changer”
@@kerrytodd3753 It's cheating when its against the rules. I do agree I would like to see more "no electronics" tournaments. Why not host one for us?
@@TNRVG here’s the way I see it, I agree it’s not cheating as long as the rules allow for it. However, do you really need a law/rule to tell you this can have devastating impacts on fisheries world wide? Doesn’t matter the species, but schooling fish like crappie are especially vulnerable. So state fishery committee’s have to make it illegal and enforce it, I doubt that will happen given their track record. Here in Georgia they succumbed to hunter pressure and allowed for baiting of deer, mostly by the QDM crowd…..now hunting is more expensive than ever (land costs) and does are also more plentiful, why you might ask……because the lowly doe doesn’t have horns to measure so you can’t make most of todays QDM crowd harvest a doe, doesn’t look good in the bragging box score…..
@@kerrytodd3753 Then work to make it illegal like we are trying to do with trophy catfish pay lakes that kill tens of thousands of pounds of catfish each year? I don't personally have a livescope yet due to its cost. A livescope would save me time on the water more than anything else. If I have a guided trip I need 5-10 skipjacks/whitebass. When I can't see where these fast fish swim it can take me hours to catch them. With a livescope its much faster. No matter what I take the same amount of fish.
Great video, great live scope footage, and a freaking awesome fish.
Thanks Thomas!! I'm already planning my next trip back out to the river!!! Have been smiling since I caught that thing!
@@HighQualityFishingVideos I imagine the Quachita river has some monsters. I just started with live scope plus about a month ago so still learning. I enjoy your videos , have helped me a lot.
Nice video!!!
Thank you eleven!
Nice
👍
I have the uhd model. As of now i use si & di but I've f decided that i have to get scope. It's just to cool. Now the prices have dropped on the lvs 32 I'm about to buy one. Why not!! Right? I've learned so much by using si & di that out literly puts me on fish. But i want to taste target big cats. I think it will be fun. Great video
Thanks so much!
Side imaging + Forward-Facing Sonar is such a great combination to have on the boat!!
You weren’t lying. That’s a big ole flatly.
Yes indeed! I reeeeeally wanna go back out and catch another one of these monsters now. Probably gonna try them at night time next time to try to beat the heat.
Nice work 👍 is it best to connect the screen and black box to the same battery or separate? I am new to livescope
Thank you! I run my screen and black-box/transducer all off the same lithium 30ah battery which gives me enough juice for around 12 hours on the water.
That’s a nice catfish….I was wondering if you have been crappie fishing….
Hey Ron! Thanks so much for watching and yeah buddy I am still smiling about that catfish and bothering all my friends with pictures of him hahaha!
Crappie fishing is just about all I normally do - this is video #11 that I've put out on my youtube channel but about all of my other videos are crappie fishing!
How did you set your live scope at what degrees did you have it toward the bottom or just shooting straight out?
Hey thanks for watching my fishing video! I don't have an exact angle and it changes a bit every time I go out due to my portable mount setup, but I try to get it where the upper beam is parallel with the water. That seems to give the best picture for me, but it probably varies +- 10 degrees on every trip out for me.
One thing I did while initially getting my picture clear and adjusting settings is pulled up to a few stumps/trees and adjusted everything. I moved a few times to get the trees at various distances to make sure the picture was solid and after I was happy locked it in and took a picture of my settings so I wouldn't forget.
Good luck out there!
Congratulatons ! What Garmin unit are you using for your livescope?
Thanks so much! This is the GPSMap1022 and the LVS34 transducer.
Would the fish have spooked if you went over him and let the line straight down?
Hard to say for sure, but very possible. Sometimes when crappie fishing I've dropped straight over them and felt the line or weight/hook actually hit the fish and that has spooked some fish.
I had already spooked two other big catfish on this day so I was trying to be extra cautious with this one!
It looks like you have the Ranger 200F pontoon. What mounting system did you use for your livescope?
Hey, thanks so much for watching! I use a Summit brand transducer pole and paired that up with a Ram Tough-Claw mount which clamps to the front rail of the boat. Planning to make a new setup video soon showing how I have everything set up on the pontoon boat and another video review of the boat itself now that I'm almost 1 year into ownership (almost all good!).
*That tough-claw mount will clamp to just about anything which is nice if I want to bring the unit with me on a friend's boat and clamp it to the gunnel.
Thank you! I have the tough claw ready to go.@@HighQualityFishingVideos
What part of the river were you at? I fish at the very end of it right where it turns into the black river.
This was up near the Monroe/West Monroe area. Somewhere north of the bridge but don't recall the exact spot. I was just trolling along side scanning for structure and saw that big tree out in the middle so I stopped to take a look.
It's funny, I have fished the Tensas River and the Ouachita River and you're fishing right where the two of those meet! I bet that is a great spot to pick up some big fish!
Hey I noticed you knew the width of the boxes. Do you mind sharing how big each box is at the used distances? Can’t seem to find it online.
Hey Cajun, I think at 40ft it shows 2ft length grids and at 50ft it swaps to 5ft length.
I usually have to look at the top of the screen to see the distance markers to know since I change distance so often when I'm first searching for the fish.
@@HighQualityFishingVideos Thanks boss, nice catfish catch. You’ve got me wanting to do it with the big cats I see while crappie fishing.
One of the best live scope videos I've seen! Was fantastic spotting the big boy and watching him ease up on the bite! Was a great video!
Thanks so much! The river level is almost back down to where I can go out and chase after another big one like that. Hopefully I'll top that one this year!
