@@ifishcatfish Heck I'll watch it that many times. If you posted a picture of you holding that fish and the caption said "caught on 2.1lb line the comments would be all over the place and several would never believe it. That just goes to show with skills, quality gear and patience that can be done. That was fun to watch and a bit nerve racking at the same time right up until it was in the net.
Wow, very impressive. True Ultralight fineness fisherman you are. Some people think it impossible to cat large fishes with a 2lb line but if you know how to finesse fish then nothing is impossible. Great job Victor
@@jimt5683 bank foshing is definitely harder but it still depends on snags and abbrasion. Without that any fish is helpless. Most freshwater fish runnout of gas in a few minutes if u can just stay calm and keep out of snags. But people go absolutely berserk when they hook something big
Patience, and excellent equipment, clear water..boy what a fight, the salmon here in Sacramento river 5 min away take this long and longer as they run 50 to 80 yard runs..my arm cramps a day later... thanks for shareing..With us all. Luigi
@@ifishcatfish yeah, I’ve watched a little here and there but haven’t subscribed until now. I like your reviews which is why I even ended up getting a Daiwa presso rod and did the cork sealing like you showed in your videos.
Yes. I believe it. I saw it, and I am amazed at that 23 Corto rod. If it were me i would keep that rod and reel combo. Expensive set up for sure, but together they are a true wolf in sheep's clothing. 👍
@@We.R.Comics Because fluorocarbon has more stretch than polyster, fluoro is a better leader line. Polyster has zero stretch; thus when using polyester as a mainline you'll need to add a mono or fluoro leader to it. Both fluoro and polyester have high specific gravity which makes them sink well. Fluoro will sink faster than polyester.
Oau! Suprem test for ultralight rod&reel! For sure it is a good and expensive combo ho can resist to this kind of stress, but yours ability and experience are greater!Congrats once again Victor!
Awesome bro, I caught a 13lb salmon and a 12lb sea run brown trout on 6lb braid and a 6lb mono leader with a cheap ultralight rod, the fight was unreal, both took over 30mins to get them in the net. Great way to test your knots lol
this line is 0.108mm.. Its if u take 6 lb line and split it into 4 separate strings : ) Salmon can be crazy from the bank. I caught them in Lake Michigan but from a boat where i can let them run and get tired.. but from bank its hard to let them run..
@@ifishcatfish Yeah man thats crazy to land such a big fish on such small diameter line congratulations!! My braid was daiwa evo+ at 0.08mm and the mono was daiwa triforce at 0.18mm. Both fish were caught from the bank a couple days apart in a small wee town where I live called Roxburgh in New Zealand. This was maybe 5 weeks ago so I'm still pretty hyped about it lol. Used a crazy alberto knot for the braid to leader and a palomar knot for my 1/16oz jighead, both fish hit the black and gold softbait 👍. Also this spot is 125km from the ocean so I thought it was very strange to be catching sea run trout 🤷♂️. Have caught another 9lb trout (again assuming sea run because of the size an the silver color, and the fight) and a 10lb and 8lb salmon since from the same spot on the same diameter lines. It's the most fun you can have with your pants on haha
i have an old back injury from fixing my cars.... ever since if i stay bent over for a long period of time my back starts to hurt. I have to fish upright.. Fighting the fish is a pleasure, but bending over to land them and handle them got me real tired
bug fest? what kind? It took a long time to pressure wash this dang buffalo off my boat. It was on a mission to slime everything. It never touched the carpet though, so i just sprayed the floor with all kinds of detergent..
I was fishing for little bass on my ultralight using a micro chatterbait and caught a 30 inch 10 pound flathead with 4 pound line, it took me 15 minutes to bring him in. they are pretty fun to catch
I fish a small 2½ acre pond that is pretty over populated so they don't get much over 1½ lbs. There are some decent cats however and managed to get that nice flathead. I just tend to grab my ultralight set up because if I'm not catching bass I switch to catching bluegill green sunfish and longears
i sent u email last night, did u get it? I will be selling some rods and wanted to talk to u first because u live around now and i wouldn't have to mail rods in boxes..
@@ifishcatfish Sharper . Really ? The 21 is so sharp man . Its an extra extra fast posing as an extra fast rod . You have tried the Graphiteleader CORTO Prototype 21GCORPS-642UL-HS ? I could not imagine a rod sharper than this thing .
@@elwooddestiny11blues20 The solid tip in my rod is harder. The model is called Hard Solid Tip and indeed is pretty hard. The first 5 feet are the pretty much the same, only the very tip is harder.
Hey victor 👋 I know you are an ultralight fisherman, but you are one of the best TH-camrs on fishing. So I imagine you would know. But I am interested in getting my first 3000 size reel. What does the M model mean? For example, something like the Stella c300Mhg. Awesome videos though. I wait every day to see if a new video drops.
Good content. Could you help me? I ordered a Shimano Expride 2,08m 4-12g rod, and I´m considering pairing it with a Vanquish. Do you think size 2000 is too big or should I get the 1000? I mainly fish for perch and zander, but there´s a considerable risk of hooking a huge pike as well.
if anything size 2000 is too small. It has very small gears. If u cast 4 gram all day its OK. If u cast 8-10 gram all day i would go 2500 size. Also that is a BIG and HEAVY rod! This is NOT ultralight fishing! I think buying a Vanquish for that rod is a waste of money, as the feeling of the big rod will overwhelm the finesse of the reel. I would personally buy the Vanford 2500 or the brand new Tatula LT in 2500. They will feel just as good as Vanquish on that big and heavy rod
@@ifishcatfish Thanks for the advice. The average lure weight I use is about 10g so maybe I´ll give the Vanford a try (they don´t sell the Tatula here in Finland).
@@pullukka101 2000 vanquish has 1000 size body and tiny gears. U will wear them out too fast with 10gr lures... Also u will have too much resistance when reeling. A 2500 size reel will last longer and will reel easier. And if u check the weights... 2500 Vanford still weighs nothing and will balance that rod better.
@@ifishcatfish I ordered the 2000 Vanford because there weren´t any shallow spool models in the 2500 size available and the 2500 looks quite big for my liking in videos. Time will tell how it holds up. But thanks again for the tips even though I half-disregarded them.
Amazing ❤ Might have just witnessed a World Record Buffalo on 2lb. test! What a way to finish up a great day of fishing.
thanks Gary! : )
OMG that was one EPIC catch and on 2.1 pound line!! That was exciting. Again you are putting on a clinic. This needs a million views big time.
i will take 10 000 : )

The noise that buffalo carp made had me dying.😂Great video victor I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Man, if there are no snags in the lakes, there is no need for lines over 4 lb : )
On a boat most likely you can but on shore chances your not going land a monster on ultra light tackle !

If you can get away with thinnest line possible then go for it
Good job vic. What a nice nasty monster
Congratulations-- awesome !!
I love your boat set up, having those live bait rods at the back are so cool. Also what a thiccccc catfish haha
Nice flathead, Victor. Just a great looking fish. Congratulations! What a fight with that buffalo, you gotta love it.
Did u see the one after it?
Yes, I saw the Buffalo on 2 pound test. What a catch.

Sound very crisp 👍👍👍

The commentary was classic i_fish through out the entire video. Great video, nice fish too

Good morning!
@i_fish Good morning, Victor from the Land of Lincoln. 👍🏻
Oh my GIANT Fish on 2 lb VARIVAS Ester line and expert demonstration of ultralight angling skills! Very impressive!
Hi Kathy!
What is the difference between polyester and Fluorocarbon line? What's the better leader line?
@@We.R.Comics Because fluorocarbon has more stretch than polyster, fluoro is a better leader line. Polyster has zero stretch; thus when using polyester as a mainline you'll need to add a mono or fluoro leader to it. Both fluoro and polyester have high specific gravity which makes them sink well. Fluoro will sink faster than polyester.

Omg folks.. OMG FOLKS!! 😆 17:16
i expected 6 different species, but not THIS : ). These fish usually eat veggies and stuff... but he ate an artificial..
That's crazy :))))
"Is it a white bass, whiper or smiper???" Love it 😂😂

Have a great fathers Day Victor! You definitely need a rest after those great catches! Sorry about your net! Reels sound very nice!
i paid my wife $100 to wash my net. Thats a FACT!
@@ifishcatfish 🤣🤣🤣
I spent a few hours cleaning my boat after my latest bug fest.😮
bug fest? what kind? It took a long time to pressure wash this dang buffalo off my boat. It was on a mission to slime everything. It never touched the carpet though, so i just sprayed the floor with all kinds of detergent..
@@ifishcatfish I should have videoed washing mine. It was disgusting. I was swarmed by mayflies. You can see at the end of the video
Victor, what a series of fantastic catches on ultra light gear! That is the true definition of an advanced expert / skilled fisherman. Well done!
thanks buddy, i appreciate that
Great catch on UL! My best is a 7lb stripe on Vanford 1k, TFO 6' UL & 6lb ..
thank you
you are a champion sir. nice fish!
well thank you! Feels good to see someone else appreciate this video!
Wow that size of a monster against your ultralight setup. Unbelievable!

WTF lol now i've seen everything, please do a review on that rod, it earned mad some respect after that haul.
Comin up
More exciting video! Let’s see some reviews of the ocea and the saltiest star drag now 😂
i used to review catfish reels... i still have a bunch but don't want to use them..
What are your thoughts about 22Exist Semi Order System by SLP Works? are you familiar with their line up? Just browsing Plat and saw that😬
Nice, them flatheads are fun! Even more so if it's caught on lighter gear.
i didn't know they roam around in the middle of the day..
Insane 🙈
I need some more jigheads Victor restock fast because I got a trip to Minnesota in a couple months for panfish and your jigheads are awesome
maybe middle of July, not end of July.
i sent u email last night, did u get it? I will be selling some rods and wanted to talk to u first because u live around now and i wouldn't have to mail rods in boxes..
Break everything except the Corto . What a fight !!!
i know.... the Corto feels so .... 'snappy'..
@@ifishcatfish hopefully it didnt .... 'break' the bank ... Loool . Im may have to upgrade my 21 corto prototype to this 23 model now .

Victor out there catching bigs! Sir, how large is your largest Wels Catfish?
never caught a Wells. My largest Blue is 33, largest flathead is 18 lb.
Браво.
Nazdrave!
Is that a lews gx3 how do you like it, is it a distance caster?
I use it just for the clicker. Its nothing special otherwise
Is the vanquish twice as good as the vanford considering it's twice as expensive?
I don't know what you mean, but i'm gona say NO
Wow 😮

usually after the spool there is some designation of the depth of the spool but that depends on manufacturer. Don't buy models with M or with HG
Mantap jiwa
good soul
❤❤
Is that 2500 size Vanquish? Also what braid do you use? I am considering 3000xg Vanquish to pair with my Yamaga Blanks blue current all range 93tz :)
this is 1000 size vanquish. I do not use braid for anything... i don't like how it feels
Well thats enough for some time man...😂

it is in the TITLE of the video, my friend.
Wow on 2lb
where do you purchase the corto?
Japan
is there any specific website ? its hard to find
i dont recommend sites, sorry. I used to but one guy had an issue and he made it seem like it was my fault. No more.
oh i see.. its ok victor. btw victorious setup, monstrous fish! congrats!
😮😂😂
офигеть что на Vanquish 1000 можно такого вытащить...
Inogda..
All fish smells
but not all stink!
You must not like to eat the best fish that comes from fresh water if you let that nice flathead go back !
I love the fish even more. I want it to grow big and have a long and healthy life.
