Great hookset, right in the top of the mouth! That's the only reason that 2lb test didn't break, good job!!! I only use 2lb test while ice fishing. I only have one reel with 4lb test, 6lb is usually as small as I go.
I was like that... even 6 lb line. But this 2 lb line cuts through the water so easy.. u can feel every little nibble. It is addictive. I just use it for control of my jigs and sensitivity, not because fish can see thicker line..
I was using a 700$ JDM combo just 5 minutes before that fish, but got nothing other than tiny yellow bass. But kept getting snagged and losing brand new line, so i switched to chinese rod ( the broken Royal Spirit, with the tip from the other rod) because that rod had reel with old line that i don't mind losing, and as it always happens, you catch the biggest fish on the rod u least expect or you least prefer.. : ) The reels is Exceller 1000, with a 2000 spool from another reel. Everything is mix and match for testing purposes...
Nice fight and catch Victor - good pumping, winding, and patience. I've noticed a few other RUclipsrs who wind while the fish is peeling off drag, but that twists the line. I can't say I've caught anything approaching your fish weight to line strength ratio yet, but that's why I use a short mono leader with either ester or P.E.
Usually I do, but not when i fish around snags. I cant tie leaders every 5 min. Around snags i use old line and cheap jigs and tie them straight. I like to hear my drag ever so slightly while fighting fish. It gives me confidence that it is ready to release line if there is a run. But this line was old, and not reliable to begin with, and i was super afraid the whole time .. Line twist is not a concern for me. I have never had problems with it. I think on the next cast it unwinds. But probably the bigger reason is that with 2 lb line i lose line very fast, 30-50 feet every session, so i constantly get fresh line from the bottom..
OK, so I want my alarm to be that sound at the begining of the video. That clicking fome the drag would be a perfect wake up sound. Victor, where's your net!!!!!! I can't believe that all came together. That took some serious skill to land a 24 inch channel cat on 2 pound line and with no net. If that hook was 5mm further in that line toast. This video had some suspense in it waiting to see what's going to happen. Good stuff
yup, if the hook was just a little deeper and the line would have run through the teeth the whole time and there was no way it would survive that abrasion.. Sometimes u just get lucky : )
no, and probably wont. I think these rods are just average quality that i can buy locally and have customer support if something happens. Not to mention i dont have to wait a month and then can't return it if there is an issue.
Ha! I plan on suspending a line for trout this winter - just let it dangle under the boat.. Hopefully that's the one that will catch the trout. Otherwise i don't think i will get that lucky with a trout..
Добрый день. Пишу на русском, так как предполагаю что вы русскоговорящий. У меня варивас маджик ай 0.2. проблемы с тем что шнур крутится при забросе и слете со шпули. Так же гораздо больше перехлестов на кончике удилище из-за той же проблемы. Как будто Эстер сильно закручен. У вас подобное было? В чем может быть проблема? Катушка 20 Лувиас.

Francois Dupont i am not catching small fish by choice. Trust me, id rather catch big slabs , but there arent any where i live. But one day i will start to travel
@@ifishcatfish i caught a carp a few hours ago and the hook was stuck very good in its mouth. I felt bad for yanking so hard on this fishes mouth to get the hook out. What do i do?
you shouldn't yank. You have to push the hook deep first, so to remove the part that is inside the flesh. Only after u remove the hook from the flesh do u pull it out. There is some skill involved there to do it harmlessly
my boat was leaking water after i hit my own trailer. It still is, actually, though very little.. But i've been emptying the boat several times and taking it to the shop to fix it, and still don't have all my stuff back in the boat. That fishing trip was actually a test for the boat, but unfortunately it still got some water. Very little, maybe a few glasses.. but they didn't do a good job sealing and its dripping from somewhere. I hate that... hard to find people who do their job with care..

What an amazing catch on just only 2lb test line!!! I love your videos and I hope you continue to make great content!
Bravo on catching that thing on 2lb test
thank you sir!
That was amazing, that big fish on 2lb test wow🐳🐳🐳
thanks buddy
On 2 lb test, that's a challenge. Nice catch!
thanks, TGO
Epic battle and all on 2 lb test line!! congrats i_fish
i dont know if epic... i have much bigger.. although not on 2 lb. Check my video of 40" musky on UL rod (buy it was 6 lb line)

Outstanding Angling 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Nice one. Was that blood from your fingers?
No blood but a good bruise from the teeth
Great catch! That catfish was a tank!
i dont know about tank, but gave me a good fight for sure : )
thanks for the video.should have told us what combo you where using

Nice catch...
Do you use shock leader with the ester line?
I SHOULD! And you should too! But I snag and break all the time and im too lazy to tie leaders all the time, so i don't
Nice fight !! Love the way the drag clicker sounds on that reel ? What is the reel ?
Thomas Matkevich thnx Thomas !
Thomas, how did u know? That spool is actually from daiwa Freams (2000, because i find the original 1000 to be too small)

U can d/l in app store ☺️
yup, if the hook was just a little deeper and the line would have run through the teeth the whole time and there was no way it would survive that abrasion.. Sometimes u just get lucky : )
have u tried tsurinoya clever rod (2pcs) or tsurinoya ares rod (1pc)?
no, and probably wont. I think these rods are just average quality that i can buy locally and have customer support if something happens. Not to mention i dont have to wait a month and then can't return it if there is an issue.
Nice😺fish 🐟 good practice for when you hook a lake trout perch fishing 🎣 😀 👌

Very lucky hook set. I thought y ou caught a turtle :)
actually turtle is a good guess. He didn't really run much.. just felt heavy and stayed down - much like a turtle...

not familiar with your line, but make sure you put it on the spool properly, to avoid twist. You have created twist somehow
Seems like it was destiny, plenty of potential disasters to overcome. Thought no net was a certain early release mistake. Way to persist and overcome.
Jim Scott thanks jim!
Is it even fun to fish for minnows using hair as line?
fun is different for everyone. But it is not as easy as u think. Try it and u will give up after 10 casts..

This just shows you don’t need 30 pound line for carp and catfish
yup!
LOL....I carry 2 nets. I hate it when I hook into those with the ester.

2lb line is for tying balloons.😉
I actually tie them with 50 lb mono. Its easier to work with :)
