Locating and Catching the Giant American Catfish
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 мар 2021
- Catfishing on the Tennessee River in the spring. Catfish can be caught on cut bait on ledges close to shallow backwater openings near the deep river chanel. Bait will gather in these warmer backwaters and the giant catfish will follow the bait. monsterrodholders.com/wp-admi...

That’s saying something when a cat makes Steve Douglas shake! Absolutely a giant blue congratulations!
This is why we come to you for catfishing advice. Well done Steve!
So glad to see you fishing again uncle steve! Im sold on the quality of every piece of gear on your boat, your net and rod both didn't flinch. Ill be down this summer to buy gear from you in person.
That excitement is the reason y we do what we do. Awesome video Steve!!!
You never disappoint, what a great trip. Good to see you found time to get out!!
Heck yeah Steve as long as I've been watching you it never gets old my friend. Very nicely done.
glad to see the King of catfishing make another , thanks Steve
Love to watch you fish Steve thanks for the helpful information and congratulations on your great fish
Was awesome meeting you today. Love the videos glad ya doing better health is most important. Be safe and keep up the awesome videos 💯
this is why i started catfishing i dont get this type of adrenaline from any other freshwater fish. your channel is what got me started 6 years ago and ive been a cat addict since cheers man what a fish!!!!!!!!!!
I just love it. As an old farm boy from Illinois, I'm used to fishing creeks & ponds. To have a chance at big blues and flat heads on the Tennessee River would be a dream come true. I guess you catch so many smaller blues that you don't bother filleting the one I saw you catching in this video. You're making me hungry for catfish!
Steve, I almost bought you a scale, but I want to make sure you'd like it. I donate one just so WE will know how big those fish are. OHHHHH MERCY!!!
I’ll grab one this weekend if you can get it to him! Let me know.
So great to see you out fishing again. I really miss watching you
I am so thankful for you to catch this fish. I don't say that much because of course I want to catch it but if not me I'm so glad it was you. I bought my first four monster rod holders and couldn't be happier with the product. The brackets they came with for my boat worked perfectly.
I hope you are able to make time and have more of these awesome videos!! I enjoyed them all thanks for posting and stay safe!
Holy catfish! Congrats Steve, that fish was a giant for sure.
Wow! Good to see you again, Steve. Hello from Bowling Green!
Always liked watching your videos Steve brings back alot of old memories 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Great I've been waiting on this since I heard you caught this monster. Congrats that is a huge frigin blue cat. Congrats Mr. Douglas
Always on the big fish Steve. Great to see you back on the water. Hell of a fish!
SUGGESTION... Get yourself a couple of Seamstress type Measuring Tapes in Inches and leave them on your boat, Steve.. Then you can get an Estimated Weight of the Fish by using this Measurement to Weight Equation... You can even use a String or Rope and tie knots to measure, until you can get back to a Tape Measure or Ruler... Measure the Length x Girth x Girth / 800 = Approx. Weight... Yep, it's that easy... Just Multiply Length from Tip to Tip x Girth Twice, then divide it by 800 and you'll get your Weight within a pound or two. Easier than a Scale, especially on Big fish and when you're alone... Keep up the great videos, Steve and Thank you for sharing them with us~! ;~)
Steve Douglas, you have made some amazing content and I personally have learned a lot that I am now passing down to my boys. Thank you for another great video and I hope to land a monster lack that sooner than later. Here in Oklahoma we get big blue and flatheads, but not like that one.
Best part of the video is your reaction and excitement. Pretty cool
Gotta love those slammers! Love how you turned the drag on! Awesome!
You is one of the best teachers and fishermen I learn a lot that I learned it help me a lot and I have been catching more fish keep up the good work 💯
Right on its nice to see u back at it Steve nice to see u doing good and man that was a beast stay strong and tight lines my friend 💪
Great fish Steve , always enjoy watching your videos. Keep em coming.
I’m glad you picked him up, it really showed how massive that cat was!
Your Monsters are definitely real. That was an Awesome Fish. Keep em coming Boss!!!
Great video Steve. Awesome fish. That monster is another to be proud of. Thanks for showing.
Hey great stuff man, the size of that fish blew my mind, definitely gonna put catfishing down south on my bucket list!
Glad to see out fishing regularly again for those of us who can’t.
Right on Steve way to start your year off. You the MAN!!!!!!
You have made a great video that can make those watching get excited watching you pull that monster in. Monster Rod Holders and Monster Rods are well named. That monster catfish sure gave you an adrenaline rush! WOW!!!
Welcome back. Congrats on an awesome fish. Some spots I like to hit in this area. Love it. Maybe we run into each other out there one day.
Wow clearly the best of all congrats mr Steve. I got my monster rods trying to order 2 more but sold out. I will wait till they are back in stock.
Time for a fish cradle net, so you can weigh those monsters more easily by yourself! Awesome catch buddy👌
That’s awesome! That tail slap when he came up was great. Great video.
What a Blue! I am glad you caught that monster, and wish you could have landed that second monster. I am telling you, you need to write a book. Future catfishermen will sing your praises as long as their are big catfish to catch, and men to catch them. Just another fantastic video, thank your wife for the great job she has done in recording your adventures over the years. She is a Pearl of great price.
Good One,, If That First Fish Wasn't 💯 there's not one in the pond you can bet on that , Ya had a Good Day Out For Sure , Thanks For Taking Us Along ,, Tight Lines To Ya 🦈🎣👀
Nice one, Steve! Like I said before, you are the GOAT!
I'd love to see you bank fish a spillway, I've always bankfished ponds and in my area pull out 10-15 sometimes 17-18 pound channel cats. But bullheads on a spillway would be an amazing video. I love your channel. Have been subscribed for 3 or 4 years now. I appreciate every video! Thank you
Great day on the river buddy! Congrats on the HOG ya caught, and the fight on the BIG'N ya lost! God Bless all!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏
That's definitely a fish of a lifetime. Both of you did a great job.
I have never caught any catfish over 20 lbs. You give me hope Steve.
Great video Sir, just good to know that you still get excited with a big fish
That was a BLAST to watch.....thanks for posting!!
Steve, that is one beautiful fish! Congratulations!
Little known fact, the scale manufacturers use Steve's arms to calibrate their scales. :-)
