เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 ก.พ. 2024
My name's BJ, and 20 years ago, I caught a state record blue catfish, sparking a lifelong passion for Oklahoma’s waters. Despite challenges from a unique physical condition, I'm on a journey to master catching giant blues and explore Oklahoma's diverse fish species. Join me as I adapt fishing techniques to my needs and inspire others with physical differences to embrace the outdoors and chase their dreams.
Only TWO days to catch a GIANT before the snow MELTS
I only had two days to chase a giant blue catfish before the snow melted, and it was a grind from the start. The fishing was slow, and I only managed to catch a couple of small ones, but I made the most of it by cleaning and cooking one right on the bank. Just when I started to doubt it would happen, I was able to land an absolute giant in the snowy conditions. This is a moment I won’t forget, and proof that persistence pays off!

Fall Catfishing on Lake Texoma

Catfishing often comes with a lot of waiting, and this trip was no exception. While I only caught a couple of fish, the downtime was well worth it with a beautiful sunset to enjoy. As the water temps come down our catches are starting to get bigger. Sometimes it's not just about the catch, but the peaceful moments in between.

Join me on a two-day adventure as I head out to the river with Austin from www.youtube.com/@ChasingtheMoby and his friend Terry, in search of big catfish. The trip didn’t start off easy, with a few unexpected hurdles along the way-motors that wouldn’t start, gear issues, and some struggles with bait but ended with one of the most amazing catches I have ever been a part of.

been catching big blues on the river the colder it gets my luck is turning around. thanks for your help
That's awesome. Keep it up. Glad it's getting better.
Oh man,it's incredible that you catch fish at such a snowy weather,and I'm happy to see our rc bait boat again, I'm glad it helps you a lot.
The boat did great even in extremely cold weather and snow and ice.
That’s awesome good job man great dedication and to finish it off had a great meal
Thanks for watching. That was some of the best fish I've ever eaten. It was the perfect end to that day.
Awesome fish buddy!! Amazing backdrop!!
Thanks man. I appreciate you watching!
You made it happen! People do not realize how much time and energy goes into catching TROPHY Catfish! Congratulations!!!!
Thanks Marty. You're right. People don't always see the hours and hours we sit on a bank just waiting for that one bite that makes it worth it. I know you realize it though. You put in as many of those hours as anyone I know.
Amazing video BJ really enjoyed it. Felt like I was there with ya and wished I was. Keep it up brother you’re the man. Yes Sir beautiful fish and what an adventure. Texoma boss
Thanks Rob. I wish you could been there too. I'm still happy I got to be there for your giant
What an awesome episode. Thanks. We have the snow but the cold has put a lid on the lake and the sinkers bounce off of the ice.
Thanks for watching Terry. A lot of our creeks were frozen (I had to break ice to catch bait) but it didn't stay cold long enough for the lake to start freezing.
I admire your dedication BJ. It sure paid off. So awesome man!
Thanks man. That's means a lot coming from someone like you because I know how much work you put in when you're fishing.
Awesome catch, sure wasn’t easy but great to watch!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for taking us along on an amazing trip BJ!! I don't know that Ill see another video that captures the "WHY" as well as this one. Hearing you say "Makes me question why I do this" and then hearing "I couldn't be happier... LETS GO!!" Man, that sums it up perfectly.
I really wonder sometimes if stuff translates on camera. It makes sense in my head but sometimes it can be hard to convey. Thank you for this comment.
Amazing story with a world class blue in the SNOW. Congrats
Thanks you Terry. I was very lucky that day.
Looking forward to someday getting to fish with you BJ!!
Looking forward to seeing your journey buddy!

Great video BJ!
Love it! Great compilation video! Awesome to see you and Austin combining forces out there too!
Thanks for watching. I've learned a lot from Austin, I was lucky to be able to join them on that trip.
Just happened to see your Facebook page came here. Watched this video and subscribed. Let’s go!
Thanks for watching and subbing. I really appreciate it and I'm glad you found me!
Great share my friend..🙏
Thank you so much!!!
I am so proud to be able to share that moment that will always live in my memory's and can not wait to share the bank together agin
I couldn't have scripted a better end to that trip than that. Definitely looking forward to doing it again with yall sometime.
Really good video! That big cat was beautiful. I had a question for you. Were you using the return to home feature on the boat or did you visually drive them back. I was wondering how the return GPS feature works on these boats? Thank you again for the video.
I alternate between using the return to home and using the "cruise control" feature most of the time. The return to home works great with the one caveat being wherever you set your home point ideally should be down the bank a ways so that if you use that feature it won't run over any of your lines coming back home. The cruise control feature is basically just press one button and the boat takes off in whatever direction it's pointing. So most of the time I drop baits and turn the boat around and stop it, then reel up any slack and use the cruise control function with it pointing back at the bank and then I can adjust the direction if needed to come back in between my lines. Hopefully that helps. Either way you do it the GPS return home works perfectly and is very handy.
Happy New Year BJ. Love the Christmas Trifecta and looking forward to your content for 2025!
Happy New Year to yall too Todd. I really appreciate you watching and commenting this past year
Happy New Year! Lots to come!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year cool to see someone fishing on Oklahoma it’s where I’m always fishing I’ve been wanting to get more into catfishing just curious what’s a couple things you recommend for bait
Thanks for watching. What part of Oklahoma do you fish? As far as bait goes, I really only use cut bait, and I am not picky at all. I have some preferences but it's mainly on how durable a bait is and how easy or hard it is for a fish to pull it off the hook. My first choice is always something with skin (striper, carp, buffalo, crappie etc) but shad are a very close second. I know a lot of people that use all sorts of baits (things like hot dogs and chicken) but I think the things that cat fish are eating naturally will give you the most consistent results.
@ I fish around Spiro Oklahoma sometimes I go to Lee Creek in Van Buren Arkansas
Wow, what a cool story! I cant believe it lived. I love putting my trophy fish back in the waters. Not that I have any like that.
Merry Christmas man! I an avid fisherman but new to catfishing. I'm watching, learning and studying with you. I'm steelhead fishing during the day and learning to catfish at night 🤣. I'll be sure to let you know how its going when I try for catfish! Any tips for river fishing through a city?
Hope you had a Merry Christmas as well. I'm glad you found my channel. I am still learning too, but that's what it's all about. River fishing is something I need to learn more about myself. I will always recommend watching Austin Brown Chasing the Moby for river fishing. What little I know I have learned from him.
Great video!!!just what I was looking for before making a purchase!!! And some great cat fishing!!!
Awesome, hope the video helped. I hope you pick one up and it helps your catfishing as much as it has helped mine. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve, feel free to hit me up if you get one and have questions.
Great episode thanks. I enjoyed your fishing trip.
Thanks for watching. That was a fun one to make.
Merry Christmas Brotha. Your openness and honest talks are so refreshing in today's negative and toxic world. I am trying to make a plan to come back out in late Feb-end of April. However, it's Twister season and being in an RV with Boat ? Makes me nervous. This fall things got a bit to close and 'Randy' for me. But, I may rent a place, still investigating my options. I have unfinished business at Texoma 😆🤣🤣 love the area and the fishing is very special. Stay safe ☝️
Hope you had a Merry Christmas man. Hopefully you get to come back in the Spring. I know the weather can be sketchy that time of year but the cat fishing, especially for big fish, is incredible in the Spring. I hope you get to come back and get get on some monsters.
merry Christmas this is different from your other spots not wide open water you can find those catfish man
Hope you had a Merry Christmas. That was a cool little spot. I have fished there before but never on camera. This coming year I plan to fish a lot more new places so you should see more of a variety.
Dino is good luck!
He was that day for sure.
👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!!!
Nice video sir, thanks sir .
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoy my videos!
Do you know where to catch any big gizzard shad this time of year at lake texoma from the bank
Odds are slim. Everything is kinda deep including the bait. Water temp is low 50's
Like Chris said I don't know of any places you can catch big gizzards from the bank right now. Most of my bait hunting is in the backs of creeks this time of year.
@@jasonholbrook4359 I've been going to the river when the generators are on. I been catching net fulls of monster gizzard. Even got a 16incher.
Another fun episode.. Love watching the Boat navigate the high Texoma surf. You got some good ones on this day. Stay safe my friend
It's like an ocean out there sometimes. It took me a little trial and error to learn how to drive the boat in those kinda waves, but I mostly have it down now lol.
Good stuff BJ. Great day with great guys.
Thanks Todd, always a good day when Marty and Mama are around!
Do you like fishing windy days as much as we do?
I am friends with BJ and I also own two of the Jabo Cresea bait boats. My fishing life has improved greatly from the bank. Being 66 years old you don't want to be casting all day. With the bait boat you can also dump some chum if that is your thing. LOVE THEM!
They will definitely spoil you. Thanks for sharing.
Top Catfish 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Forgot to ask you on podcast lasnight. What power bank you use on your gopro. I just bought the hero 13 looking to video when I run planer boards on texoma.
I use Anker Power banks. I have several of the Anker 525 models. I prefer Anker, but any brand will work just look for ones that PD (power delivery) or fast charging. I'd look for one thats at least 20,000mAh
Thanks for sharing your great story.
Thanks for watching, I was little nervous sharing that part of the story but I think it needed to be told.
Is this in New Mexic, Somewhere? People just don't care.
It's really sad, some people just don't care about taking care of the outdoors at all.
I really enjoyed this..Love boats, watching you utilize them to selectively drop your baits ? Very cool. They use those down here on the lower Colorado River for Flatheads. Looks warmer than the morning I left..Was cold 🥶..Stay safe my friend
It's a great tool for sure, plus the kid in me just has fun playing with it too.
Another great video BJ. Thanks for showing us the ropes on getting those baits out there!
Thanks for watching Todd. Always appreciate the support.
Thanks to Cresea for sending me this boat to test out, and thank you for checking out my video!
Texoma?
Thanks for watching, yes it's part of Texoma.
Awesome video. it is good to see that you have not let your challenges hold you back. A lot of us have our own form of challenges to deal with but I, like you, have determined to deal with them because I love to fish too much. I use forearm crutches to get around now and have a very hard time getting back up from sitting. So, you learn to adapt how you have to do things, my boating days are long gone, I fish pretty flat areas that are easy to get to and use spinning reels instead of baitcasting. I am nearly blind as well, am in one eye, so along with limited feeling in my fingers, tying on hooks and swivels are a very slow process but it could be worse. Life is what we choose to make it in spite of things. Keep it up, enjoyed it very much.
Thank you so much for this comment. I appreciate you watching and I am really glad you found my channel. I love your outlook on things. Life is indeed what we make it in spite of our circumstances. I am realistic enough to know there will be a day where I am not able to do some of the things I am able to do now physically. When that time comes I won't stop without putting up a fight, and sounds like you aren't either. I hope you have many more days of fishing and tight lines my friend!
Looks like a great fishing trip!
It was a pretty good trip. Thanks for watching.
what kind of line you using??
I am using 50lb Power Pro braid for my main line and then Berkley Big Game mono for my leaders
