Suspend Fishing a SHALLOW River for BIG Flathead Catfish

- When you find a spot that continues to produce big fish the smart move is to keep going back! In this episode, I return to a hole that has consistently produced big catfish for me this year. This trip was no exception, and I was elated to land my second largest catfish of the season. Big catfish are always a thrill to catch, and especially on short lines in shallow water. This catfishing trip was as great as the others I have had on this location, and you can bet I will be back until the big catfish stop biting.

I love how you let those big beast go back into the water so i can catch em.
Absolutely, good luck!
That’s a good fish!
Man, you sure do get on some beast cats!
Wish I got them on every trip. Unfortunately, the past couple weeks have been a struggle. Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Gloves? Lol 🤣 Nice fish! 🤦♀️
Don’t knock them til you try it! My fishing experience has been WAY better since I started using gloves to land fish. It’s not really a big deal with flatheads, but I catch a lot of channel cats that are very aggressive and tear my hands up! I’m not a big fan of fish grips, and I don’t carry a net for landing fish, so I use gloves. I would rather be comfortable than look tough with bleeding hands!
Nice flathead
Nice job bro! Super cool shallow water technique! Keep creating content, your good at it! First video of yours I've watched and I subscribed
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thats an awesome flathead! New subscriber!
Thank you!
How do you speak casters open phase bait casters are the best what do you fish in one of the 22 ZIP Code
Did he say mono was more abrasion resistant?
Yes, mono tends to do better than braid in areas of dense cover. I like the braided mainline because I can get more strength in a smaller diameter and the heavy line helps me pull fish away from structure. I use a mono leader to help protect the area of my line that is closest to the fish and the cover from abrasion that can turn into lost fish. My leaders are lighter in strength than my mainline which also allows me to save a few sinkers when I snag and have to break off.
thats awesome, what state if you mind?
Kansas. Thanks for watching!
What kayak is that?
It’s a Sun Dolphin Journey. I don’t recommend it if you are in the market. It is uncomfortable to sit in for extended periods and is extremely unstable. For only a few hundred dollars extra you can get something much better. I only fish from this kayak because I received it for free. I’m looking to upgrade to something more stable and comfortable sometime soon.
@@fishstandard I used to have the same one that’s why I asked lol you should look into the feel free moken 12.5v2 that’s what I went to and I love it the built in wheel in the keel is a lifesaver
How shallow was u fishing
I’d guess this hole was 5-6’. Average depth through that stretch is somewhere between 1-3’.
Never understood how any of you guys enjoy using baitcasters for catfish.
They’ve worked pretty well for me. I don’t tend to branch out much, so when I find something I like I usually just stick with it. I can’t think of any reason why a spinning reel wouldn’t work just as well.
I switched from spinning to bait cast so I had more line capacity and smoother drag a little less drag tension but they are a blast for strippers and cats but I still use spinning gear for channels in streams small rivers
accuracy, distance, line capacity, line weight, castability, retrieval rate, and on and on.
Oklahoma?
Kansas. Thanks for tuning in!
What river are you fishing
Get a net dude!
