      🤣🤣🤣🤣 as the same man uses live bait. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He doesn't care if he hurts that fish. Can you imagine a giant tying you to a rope and dangling you in front of hungry lions? Trying to get away but your tied to it! What a nightmare. So....you have much respect for WHAT compassion? You're a joke too!

      @@mawi1172 but the lion is still going to eat no matter what. He's literally using the same thing the catfish is going to eat eventually anyways. The bluegills are a dime a dozen, the catfish he caught though could be 1 in 1000 in the lake. The big one didn't get big because it didn't eat anything. Why watch fishing channels if you're that confused with the concept of fishing
