I'm in South Dakota, the channel cat get pretty decent size, in the right spots. I prefer to be on em, and setting hooks, every couple min, like you doing in this video. Right on, love the channel.
Well done Chad. I don't live where blues and flatheads are anymore. Where I live on the west coast channel cats and bullheads. So I love targeting channel cats this same way. I go more for numbers and fun over one big fish. This video hits home for me, grew up doing this and still doing it to this day. But yeah like you said since where I live channel cats don't have to compete with blues and flats so they get big here. Most fish I catch are 3.5 to 6 pounds or bigger. But there my favorite fish to catch cause like you said there angry and fight hard pound for pound and i don't think they get enough respect. But I love and respect channel cats. I caught blues and flats all over when I was stationed in Texas Maryland and Kentucky. But channel cats were my roots. Awesome video chad.
I know of a spot just like this at Oologah Lake in Oklahoma. You just inspired me to take my kayak, my slip cork rig, and my bucket of CJ’s shad punch bait to the lake and try to catch a stringer of eaters. 😎 Great video!
I wonder if the blue cats keep the channels from getting to big size there. We don't have any blues at all here and catching 10 lb plus channels here isn't terribly uncommon
Does this technique work on the California Delta? Separate topic: how many watching this video wish the camera man pointed his camera at the bobber in action?
Hello , this is a good fishing video, I've used some dip bait, and catch alot of blue cats before. One time I dehooked a cat and it splashed a hook full on my face. That stink was on for days after washing.
I was useing these chicken blood catfish bait ball.s or nugget.s year.s ago the smell of those bait.s got into the water and i was hammering them like you were.. the bait act.s like a chum line and the fish really come in to it once the smell get to drifting with the current..good luck on yr next adventure..ill try the punch bait here soon cheer.s ron
Man I'm born and raised in Texas and my only question is where in the world do you find flooded timber in August?! Are you talking freshly flooded timber, or just shallow standing timber? You and I both know that nobody in Texas is getting any rain in August lol.
At the start of this video you look tired man. Bout :25 seconds in I thought... that’s how my eyes look after working all day doing construction, going home doing my wife’s chore list, then finishing up with some night fishing.
That looks like a good day! Pls give CJ Bait promotion/shoutout. I’m from Oklahoma and I know them personally. I have shared this video on Facebook. Good job; keep catching them. Thank you. D. P. Bell - Kuntry Etiquette
What are you using for bait?
It’s in the video. Talked about it in depth.
@@Catfishedge yeah, I realized it after I commented.🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️

Is there a taste difference between channel, blue and flathead caught in the same body of water?
Not really from my experience. Unless you're talking about a 2lb channel and a 15lb blue. Size makes a difference.
Yes, blues and flatheads are always cleaner tasting fish than channel catfish.

Sounds great!
I fish off the bank or boat dock. I don’t have a boat or access to trees areas like this. Is this lure good for open water?
What lure?
Would this work with 30 or 40lb mono or do you prefer braid for sensitivity as well
Needs to be braid mono stretches too much
Awesome video. That is nothing but fun
You got that right!
Wow! All I can say is.. “That’s Amazing how you caught those catfish Sir!”
Thanks
What size split shot are you using? Great video!
enough to make the bobber stand up.
Great action Chad
Thanks
Great video buddy
Thanks
Is there a reason that channel cats dont get very large in texas?
I don't know. I've heard different theories that it has to do with abundant blue catfish populations.
Great video buddy thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

Yes I have been told that
Points, backwaters, flats? Or just till you findem?
Fish to you find them. This time of year that can change.
Does this technique work on the California Delta? Separate topic: how many watching this video wish the camera man pointed his camera at the bobber in action?
Fish are fish. They don’t know what state they’re in. This was originally filmed for TV so have some specific shots that have to be done.
That's what I'm talking about Chad it don't get any better than that, I know I'll be giving you lots of views on this video 👌🏼
Thanks
Good video my friend. Can you tell me where I can get 25 packs of the 8/0 double action hooks all I can find are 3 to 6 packs
Not sure but the WST Triple Threat is sold in bulk packs!
@@Catfishedge I'm sorry that what I'm looking for triple threat bulk in 8/0. The places I looked were sold out
What bait were u using? good vid tho.
CJ's It's in the video and in the description
@@Catfishedge lol I'm an idiot must of not heard ya
No worries I just always put it in the description also
How to not get stung? What parts of catfish can sting you.? Heard if stung plenty painful.
There’s a video here on my channel
About a week ago, I had one fin me and it went through one side of my finger and out the other side. It’s healing, but still painful when I bend it
Good job man
👍

Hand sanitizer is a miracle for getting rid of the "stink" off your hands, face etc
I'd rather catch those than to wait all day for a couple bites.
I love em all, big and small!
