The BEST RIG for COLD WATER Catfish!! (I could barely keep a rod in the water)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ส.ค. 2024
- I'll be the first to tell ya the type of rig doesn't usually make much of a difference for catching fish, but this is a little different. It's nothing new, nothing crazy, but really seems to make difference when the fish are in a neutral or negative feed mood!

I'm so glad I ran across this video. So simple of setup but yet...I needed instructed how to do it. Excellent.
Meanwhile i cant catch a single fish this month!...great vid!
It happens. Glad you enjoyed the video tho!
Holy crap streetbeefs watchin fishin vids too lol.
Man i been catchin a few bass here n there this month bout it so far.
Right there with ya lol
My dad and I caught 2 big giant northern pike that month
Most I’ve caught is 2 in one day
I've switched to a dropshot rig for channel cats, it helps avoid dropper-loop tangles and you can be sure that it's off the bottom since the hook is directly on the main line. You get the same effect but it's a little less hassle. Great upload as usual, keep 'em tight & wet!
There's definitely a lot of different ways to do it. Helps keep it fresh!
Just put a float on the end of your leader with a slip sinker above the swivel. I love simplicity. And I can fish for cats or steelhead with the same rigging.
Can’t even catch 4 cats on three rods why do you even have a fishing channel?? 🤣🤣 Great video as always sir!
Dude
The day it happens I will have accomplished all my life goals. That would be a bittersweet moment😆😆😆
Yup, love circle hooks. I use them in all sizes a lot. Lots of drop shotting with them. Nice vid!
Heck yeah man. Glad ya enjoyed it!
Good day on the water. I’m living in Germany after separating from the Army, we have some giant Wels catfish over here man, not sure if you’re familiar with them.
I had fun that's for sure. I wanna head over to Spain to fish for them someday!
You were in a negative feed mood yourself until the last walleye came along 😁. Love the rig and you conveyed it very well, to the point even I understood it lol.
That's a fact. I lucked out and even got some more later! Hope it helps dude!
Just tried your rig out for the first time and it worked phenomenally. Thank you so much for the tip and the great videos.
That's so badass. Glad it worked for ya!
Noticed the graffiti on the wall, has to be a good fishing spot, always in the sketchy part of town.
Haha that's a fair observation
Any bridge with underside access gets graffitied, doesn't matter the part of town.
Yeah graffiti doesn't mean sketchy just means easy access and a canvas.
@@tuxedomask7892 it's funny you should mention that , recently I walked a creek I've never fished before , I went back about half a mile or so , and it was hard to get to, I had to do a lot of climbing on big boulders , but I saw some pretty impressive pieces in some very hard to reach places , for instance there is a cove about 1/2 mile in that has a big boulder sticking out of a cliff face maybe 60 feet in the air , and it has an angel spray painted on it that takes up majority of the boulder, it was actually very impressive
Y’all are taking it way to literally 😂
Another good one bud. Think im just gonna start calling you the catfish whisperer. You throw them back and they try to swim back to you. 😂
They just loved me that day. They don't love me everyday haha
@@RiverCertified oh dont be so modest. They probably told you they'd be waiting for your return mighty whisker whisperer. 😂😂
Dude, what a great day you had catching channels. Got fishing on hold right now, hunting deer and wild pigs. Tight lines.
Sounds like you're preoccupied in a good way man. Hope you get some good food out of the deal!
Nice video! I went Saturday for about 8 hours. I caught one small flathead within the first 5 minutes and nothing the rest of the time. Still a hell of a way to spend the day!
Sounds like you lived the good life for about 8 hours😁
Wow, so sad to see the River so incredibly low. I really think we may be at a crossroads with our Planet. It's just going to take a monster winter to bring things back to close to normal. The day you want Wallies and the Catfish are just jumping at you're baits. I'd have to take some and a double play no less. I haven't seen that since my Dad did it when I was a kid. Fond memories. Thanks Spenser, you rock!
It is what it is with our planet. I'll keep fishing till it falls apart haha. Definitely a fun day regardless!
I love a youtube fishing video where I learn a new technique. The double hook drop rig "how to" part was much appreciated.... I love your videos and look to your channel as a source of knowledge and entertainment.
I try my best to bring a little bit of knowledge into my videos. And sometimes I forget haha. Glad you enjoy them though!
@@RiverCertified Hey. Where can I get some of the rod holders you're using in this video?
I’m on my 1st cup of coffee at Starbucks. Gear and bait in the car, one more cup and pick up some weights, then head to The Sacramento River for a quiet day of catfishing.
I died laughing when he caught the two fish at the same time. You’re killin in bro keep it up 👍
Made my day man. Glad you enjoy the videos!
By far the easiest instructional on how to do a double hook rig I've seen forsure!
Heck yeah man! Hope it helps!
I always done surgeon style loops for my double hook rigs but I'm gonna have to try it your way
Those work, but weaken the line more. They definitely get the job done in a pinch though.
Took me a while to get the circle hooks down too, I just couldn't resist setting the hook. Thanks for showing tying the double hook line. Can't wait to try it. Hope to do as well as you did. STAY SAFE
Yeah, I think it's better to find a way and stick with it and get good at it. Experimenting every once in a while is definitely a good thing too though. Good luck fishing!
@@RiverCertified 😊
Thank you for showing the rig tying. I am subscribing just for that.
I appreciate it dude. Hope it helps ya catch a few more!
Mini whiskers nursery right there ! And a Walter came to visit and check out the commotion good times when you run out of bait for the right reason !
Late fall fishing is fun when you have action like that. Kinda standard for us that time of year.
Pieces of pvc and a mallet are a light add on!!
That's less room for beer haha
Yet another awesome video. The walleye at the end was just a nice bonus!
Glad ya enjoyed it man! That walleye was a yummy surprise!
Great video.
Would argue that the science is the increased surface area of the bait when using two small baits as opposed to one, therefore leaving much more scent in the water.
Nice Walleye at the end.
Thats definitely a valid point I hadn't considered. Nice.
You’re getting old boy....the touch of gray in your beard is a dead giveaway.
On a lighter note. I caught my first ever whipper. I was trout fishing and the beast hit the lure. Made me think I had snagged the lure, until it ran. One heck of a fight!
I've been old for a while. I just act 12 haha. Be careful with those hybrids. They might make ya forget about trout haha
You're a man of your word, thanks for showing how to make that rig (again)! That's the kind of action I need to get my herd on!
I try my best! It would have been a great day for kids, although they may not have enjoyed the mile and a half I walked there haha.
The gray in your beard, the knowledge of the wise catfisherman is showing 😎 seriously though, good video sir. I’ve been messing around with the double hook rig quite a bit lately. 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm older than I look. And act. But anyway. Glad you're putting it to work man!
@@RiverCertified younger than I sir. For real though, your content is what’s up. The chit chat, humor, sarcasm, and tips are the bees knees.
I’ve always had success catching catfish on my trusty ol’ Zebco 33. 10 lb line catches 10-15 lb catfish no problem. Takes a little time to reel them in, but it’s fun!
I always find it funny how channel cats like to “bark” almost every time you get them out of the water. It’s like they’re saying, “put me back in the water hooman!”
That sounds like a whole lot of fun on that gear, and fun is all that really matters!
Ok spencer My wife always says if your going fishing and you come home smelling like fish, you better bring home fish!.. So was a little relieved to see the walleye. Also the part of the video. The how to rig a HIGH LOW rig was great. I really think you missed your calling. You should be a teacher! =P
I bet you two are a treat to be around, considering some of the comments you pass along haha. I'll work on the teacher part. I see potential there😆
Good job, I've tried the doubles down in the brackish water but not for catfish , south Mississippi water is a bit snaggy, but heck I'll give it a try , I've always used spot tail minnows for set hooks , trot lines, jug fishing but never much for hook and line , always Worms , night crawlers if possible , I see many TH-camrs fishing the shad , etc.. in cut bait the few times I have tried that here I didn't get a nibble , got me a bit curious to say the least about baits and I've fished all my Life ,57 years, caught Alotta good Catfish as well , thanks for the videos , good job
Good stuff sir. Hope the rigging wrinkle gives you an edge. Good luck fishing down there!
@@RiverCertified I'll find Maybe in the morning, it's a bit cool after a front yesterday morning slipped thru but ya never know till ya go , went grabbed some frozen bait shrimp just now , I've used the on a set hook or trot Line but I'mma give this a whirl,I gave used them over on the Alabama River system with some luck on hook and line , so it's worth a shot,.one of my night crawler sources sold out I just found out , that's not good, I have one more local and he's in and out Workin construction so I can never be sure ,I usually keep a couple hundred works on hand but due to hurricanes and just the year 2020 in general it's not as I normally do , I wanna give this cut bait a honest effort again, I've tried it but down here the works always worried better and quicker mainly, I may have to commit one Rod , with the double rigging just to the cut bait , thanks for the reply , greatly appreciated, Good Fishing , I'll be watching lol,,,
The HookShots sticker is legit! I don’t catfish that often but I love watching your vids man! Keep it up!
I miss those videos. I also miss the old podcast. I'm actually gonna start a podcast this winter. Glad ya enjoyed the video dude!
This is all I want every time I go out for channels... got skunked today so it was nice to watch you catching so many. Back at it again tomorrow 🤣
If I could send pictures I would...I got lucky and last weekend caught a bunch of walleyes. 2 were over 6 lbs! And a couple were about 3 lbs. Was a blast! Caught 8 total! Totally trying that rig soon!
Dude that's an awesome day! Send em on my IG or Facebook page!
The American face shield is sweet. So is watching the rods get tugged at.
Glad ya enjoyed it all man!
@@RiverCertified always Do! I love to catfish when time allows.
🤣the downfall of double rig...he knitted me a sweater.17:19
That was amazing! I love having those kind of problems! Keeps my tummy full and my 7 kids full as well!!!!
Hell yeah man! Glad ya enjoyed it man!
That triple! I've been on a dry streak lately, ever since I told my daughter I'd make her some catfish nuggets. Can't even catch a bullhead lately...
Bummer man. I've ran into the same thing with walleyes haha
Appreciate the video Spencer. Thank you. Double is awesome.
Glad you liked it!
I’m going to try this double hook rig this next weekend! Great video Spencer!
Hope it helps man! Good luck!
Come to lake Oahe bob smiths we got some of the best fishing in the Missouri River
Enjoyed the Fishing trip brother, Thanks for sharing your knowledge and Time.
Have a safe and great one my friend
Glad you enjoyed it. You do the same!
very cool when those 2 cats both swam back to your feet. The pied piper of catfish...
They were definitely lost haha
I saltwater fish all day long and never really got into freshwater fishing but I freakin dig your videos!!!!!!
I miss the salt a bunch man. Especially reds in the surf. Glad ya get a kick outta the videos tho man!
Glad I watched this, I checked Texas regulations, we can only use 2 rods at a time.
It's definitely good to be up on the regs.
I should get back to fishing as much as you do. But I do keep my poles in my van 365 days a yr
I highly recommend it haha
If you had ultralight combos on this video it would of been insane! Lol awesome video
It definitely would have added to the fight! Glad you enjoyed it!
Holy moly! Can't believe the chunk walleye on cut bait!
Surprised the crap out of me too man!
winner, winner walleye dinner plus a lot of catfish. neat rig and great video. stay safe.
It was definitely my lucky day! Glad ya enjoyed it Brian!
I did a video about this rig back in May,this is a stellar rig! Great video Big Dog,The Setting behind you looked like off The Warriors,i was expecting Swan and Ajax to show up 😂
It gets em when the water gets cold for sure! That place is definitely unique. Might be heading back this weekend!
Insane action and good informstion
Really fun day. Glad you enjoyed it!
Feeling like you could have stood there and pissed into your first 2 ice holes and probably caught more fish LOL Cool video thanks for sharing. Better you out there on the ice then me hahha
Definitely going to be trying out that rig this year, love the vids man!
Fun all day and a fresh fish for dinner, all in all a very good day.
Yessir. It was my kinda day! Glad you enjoyed the video!
so the bridge is gone. the rock point(if still there) across from you was our go to spot for walleyes.
I've always stayed outta there with all the no trespassing signs. I'll check it out more once I get my boat though!
Science! Yea 1st time I started using the double rig I didn't think to bring double the bait. Happy Fishing !
That might actually be more math related hahaha
Beautiful River. Exciting action when you can't even get your rods baited up. Good walleye on cut bait 👍
Thank ya sir. It was a fun day! Really glad ya enjoy the videos!
This type of weather normally yields very big fish, & catfish are one of favorite, specifically stewed catfish.
It was a dang fun day man!
NO SHAVE NOVEMBER....I SEE U BRO!! LOL
And I just shaved it. Was hoping it would help with the walleyes. Stupid superstitions haha
@@RiverCertified lol...right! 😂
Love your videos & sense of humor man. I like how you respond to your viewers comments too. Keep em coming it's going to be a looooong winter :(
Glad ya enjoy it all man! I honestly like replying to comments, even messing with the jerk comments. I hope to make a couple fun winter trips to alleviate the pain.
@@RiverCertified Have you ever been to Marseilles IL power plant lake? I trained at the Army base right next to it for years.... Always stared at the lake dreaming of fishing it. I am going to make my first trip to the lake this winter. Cannot wait! #Bluecats
@@jacobg2167 I have...giant blues on whole shad but be careful cause when windy it's very dangerous....
Gotta love trips like that!!
Yessir. I know I do haha
I figured out the spot! 😎 Now, was it the 1.5 mile hike or the 2500' walk.... hmmm . Great video, as always!
Nice double hook up bro!! Thanks for the tip wit your hi-lo rigs! U juss taught me the easiest way to knot those dropper loops!! As i said before man, you keep it simple! Tight lines bro!! #Respect ✊🏼💯💪🏼
I try my best man. Hope it helps ya catch some more fish!
that first one is what i call perfect pan size taste the best imo
I agree 100% man!
One thing I’ve noticed about cat fishing in the cold, is you really have to get your hooks in the deep. And for that, you need good reels.
I mostly agree. The only occasional exception seems to be on really nice days when they occasionally push shallow
Awesome video. Your videos always hype me up to go fishing.
Love reading that. Git 'em man!
Defiantly gonna try that double hook rig. Thanks for showing how to tie. Keep going strong
Gladly man! I'll do my best!
@@RiverCertified doing your best just getting out there man. Wish i could fish more but work alot.
Even without the eyes, great day of fishing, I heard the fish say the same 👍. Oh crap a good eye at the very end!!!!!
It was pretty dang good day all the way around. Even had another walleye show up later. That video will be out soon!
Spencer the red! Beard looking sharp. I see a few greys in there. That is the wisdom coming thru!!
That's what I like to think as well haha
Lol when you pull that fish out and said that's a walleye my first thought was well he got lunch lol
My first thought after reading this comment was, "That guy is 100% correct" haha
@@RiverCertified hope it tasted good
Looks like quite a fun day how use the double hook system all the time myself I had pheasant one time it was smoked and delicious
Heck yes to all of those things!
Your new nickname is SUSPENCER!!!!! 😂😂😂
My aunt used to call me that haha
Thanks for showing us the rig! I really appreciate it!
Hope it helps!
Nice work.. Plus a bonus walleye! Heck yeah!
It was a fun day!
That musical rods sounded more like Morse code..lmao
Haha that's fair
You should be ashamed!! Here I am, Starving and you've caught enough Kitties to feed the whole Goddarn town.!!👏 👏 👍👍👍
Hahaha hope you find a few! I kept a few walleyes yesterday. I'm pretty excited to fry those things up!
Cant believe you were throwing back all the lunch and supper
I had a long walk and I didn't want to haul them, unless they were walleyes.
@@RiverCertified side eyes do taste better have to agree there
That double hook up was awesome
It definitely made my day!
Busy day Cub's fan!! Fun video to watch!
Busy in the best way😁 Glad ya enjoyed it sir!
I think I need to start getting ready 🤔 and start practice tying some hooks to line!
I got skunked today. Nice to see someone is catching em at least
It happens to everyone dude.
Very solid video man I learned a lot from this one ! Keep the videos coming
Hope it helps dude!
Laughin to the bank with this one
Nice dad joke
@@RiverCertified it’s actually chief keef
If you want a better hook set on circle hooks ,go from front to back through the eye instead of back to front.
That's what I do. It's just user error haha
Been there myself lol,the thrill of the catch.
Just tied that rig easy I've been wondering how to for along time now thanks for that I used my toe to cinch down LoL 🤣
Glad the video helped! I do use my toe when it's a little warmer out!
Nothing like a tasty Walleye!!
Amen to that!
That was freaking awesome. Great video Spencer
Another great video from river certified..A.K.A. The catfish guru.
You might be the only guy who calls me that haha
Thx for playing homie? 😂😂
😆😆😆
Went fishing last Saturday had 2 dropper loop rigs in the water didn't get a single bite
What baits? Where?
Location is the most important part. Can't catch em where they ain't.
It was getting cold in my area, like below freezing some nights, so I figured the fishing was over for this year. However we've had an unseasonably warm November. Close to two weeks of Temps above 70 during the day, with Temps over 50 at night. Maybe it's worth it to try this new spot I was gonna check out next summer, I really miss fishing already and its only been like a month since I last went fishing.
The fish bite year round, sometimes better than others. Get out there dude!
With circle hooks just wait until the rod goes crazy then the fish is hooked. I use them and so does my granddaughter all the time
Nice double!! Appreciate the videos brother river 🐀 🐀. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
I'm glad you get a kick out of all of them Mark! I appreciate all the support!
In California you have to pay extra for a second rod. I watched utube fisherman in Tennessee with 8 poles. Amazing.
Yeah we have to pay for our 3rd line here
We use similiar rigs for flathead loved the video!
Hell yeah, glad you enjoyed it!
You went fessant hunting? Pretty cool you didn't happen to video it did ya? That would be cool to watch.
I do every year. I have one video of it on my channel "timber certified"
Nice action man. Good riggin and good fun. Keep it up.
Thanks dude. Glad ya enjoyed it!
No shave November! Let that beard grow brother.
I"m sad to say it is gone. Stoopid superstitions.
Awesome video definitely gonna try the Kentucky rig in Kentucky this winter lol
Haha hope you beat 'em up!
@@RiverCertified if I do half as good as you did it’ll be a good day
Nice frying size cats!!!
Yessir! Thanks for watching!
9:30 is that pickle rick? Lol
Yes...... 😆
Cetch and reles is cool.
I'm a fan at times
