      @@richardkennedy7941 That's awesome! I've never been outside of america except for Canada. We used to go up there fishing for vacation when I was a kid in lake Ontario. There's some massive bass, pike and lake trout in there. Unfortunately my dad was an abusive alcoholic and would ruin our vacation every year so eventually my grandpa decided to stop going up there. Soon after that we just stopped fishing, life got the best of me for awhile, did some time in jail due to being a drug addict. Once I got out I moved out of town and never looked back. Been clean ever since, now since 2010. I would like to start fishing again eventually but I have some life goals I want to achieve first. Got clean and got mental health in order, now onto my financial goals. Soon I'd like to leave my home state of pennsylvania. I'd like to move to Delaware. Lots of great fishing down there, both fresh and saltwater.

      Guys, his use of catch for bait is fine. Fish eat fish, right? That's a lot of most fish diet. The important thing is the integrity of the ecosystem and not depleting its energy balance by removing too much biomass by over harvesting.

    I used to fish almost exclusively for catfish - everyone else was after bass, but I wanted the biggest fish in the lake - but after I caught a 3' and then a 4' channel cat, I switched to trout. After I caught two huge steelheads, male and female, I switched to bass.
    Haven't had much time to fish this year, and haven't caught a single bass, but I have gotten a lot of really nice bluegill (always my favorite fallback). Anyways, your videos make me wanna catch a nice catfish again!

      But it drives me nuts that he only catches mud-fish.
      Don’t get me wrong, they are fun to reel in, but they are easy trash fish.
      Also... bowfin may very be native, however, just because a species is “native” doesn’t mean that it isn’t harmful to the ecosystem of that waterway. Mud fish eat anything and everything. They take over. (Why do you think he isn’t catching the cats we all want to see?)
      In fact at many State Parks, Rangers have direction to dispatch any mudfish they catch so that other species have a chance to thrive.
      Keep up the good work on the videos, avoid the mudfish, catch some cats.

    Awesome video! Your Bowfin fishery is insane! I’m lucky if I catch one or two a year. It really makes me sad seeing them killed and left on the bank. People need to educate themselves on identifying the difference between a native Bowfin and an invasive Snakehead. If they’re unsure just let the fish go. It was already there. That’s the way I see it. Unless, on other hand, they just despise Bowfin for the fact of them being a “roughfish”. Those claim they “hurt the environment” or “are bad for other fish”. When in reality it’s the complete opposite.

    From my experience, if you want to catch giant flatheads they hang out closer to the bank. Try casting the bullheads and sunfish closer to the bank. Maybe use a bid bobber.

    What I mean by that is that the best times I've ever enjoyed with my family, my friends, my pets, and even in complete solitude, have all been while I had hooks in the water.

      Snakeheads are an invasive species in the United States, originally from India I think. They have much longer heads than bowfin and have a dark brown, sort of stripped body. Here in Arkansas where I’m located, it’s illegal to keep one alive or dead. If you catch one you have to kill it immediately and call Arkansas Game and Fish Commission about where you caught it.

A buddy of mine uses dogs to hunt wild hogs here in Florida. I hate it because the dogs tear those hogs apart. I hunt them with my bow and make sure they never suffer. Using dogs or trapping is just cruel to me too.

    The fact you show what bait your using and techniques is great. Maybe the future episodes (not sure if you have mentioned these things) but it would be cool to hear what kinda poles you are using, line strength and even the knots used?
