@@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude I appreciate it Steve, thanks for watching. I’m looking forward to seeing you again at the Catfish and Crappie Conference!
@@HuntFishVa Yes they get huge on the Ohio River. This year I landed a bunch around 30lb off the boat, had a friend catch a 50 in the boat next to me. I know they get much bigger than that I just haven’t been able to land one yet.
@Jaydrizzy2408 I've caught big fish in the Louisville area in water 5ft deep and 30 ft deep, but I almost always fish strictly on the bottom. If fishing from the bank I would recommend hitting the outside edge of bends in the river where its usually a bit deeper and if you cant do that, look for piles of logs and trees and cast at them. Hope this helps you get a big un!
@@Jaydrizzy2408 it’s really shallow out there but if you get your bait in just the right spot there’s a drop off on the other side of the log and that’s what I was aiming for. It’s about 10-15 foot after that log and then it’s only 2-3ft deep, if that, the rest of the way into the bank. In the summertime when the river is low you can walk out quite a way and actually see the drop off on the other side of the log.
@@ky00buckshot I use Ande’s Monster Monofilament 40LB Main Line and I use 80LB Ande’s Leader Line. I have been using Ande’s for a couple years because I’ve always heard good things about them. And it has low memory making it a great line to use on a baitcaster despite the heavy test! If you fray the line I do recommend pulling off a few feet and retying, it does break if it gets frayed. If you are looking for a Walmart/Baitshop option I recommend Berkeley Big Game I use that when I am out of Ande’s.
I gotcha... just thinking about switching to braid with mono leader.... No particular reason other than just a change for a change..lol. I bought a couple of the MH 7'6 whisker seeker rods over the holidays.. Alright Man.. keep on keeping on!
Those cast nets aren't cheap, glad to see you get it back.
I know it! I was in a hurry to get it back I’ve lost too many.
Looked like a day of good action, nicely done fellas

Exact thing happened to me lol. I immediately grabbed my rod and was able to get it back.
You have to love it when you’re able to save them!

@geoffbohartfishing nice fish...tight lines man...🐟🐟🐟
What county is this in? I'm in Louisville and the river is blown out near me and I need some decent bank fishing spots to hit
Same here in Louisville I fish down at Eva bandman Park on River road im trying to figure out how deep I should fish

Drag seemed real tight.

@@CaptainKenFishing Thank you for watching!
Lol.... new method of net throwing? 😅
Net losing. That armband and rope gets stiff in freezing temperatures, it doesn’t exactly loop around your wrist every time. Luckily I got it back.
How deep is the water

What line do you usually use? And why or why not? Thanks

@@ky00buckshot I’ve been running that Berkeley Braid on one pole and really like it a lot compared to other braids.
Are you close to Cincinnati
