Bank Fishing - Roadside at Hopedale & Mississippi River for 10hrs only catches Gaff-topsail Catfish!

waking up at 4:45am, leaving the house at 5:15am, arriving at the first spot at 6:00am to find some live bait, then 6:10am to Hopedale trying to catch more live bait and crabs. I fished at this spot till 10:20 a.m. and drove further down towards the end of Hopedale, then Shell Beach to scout but it was very slow as I asked other anglers fishing in different spots. I did run into Giang, my first subscriber!!! he fought the Vietnam War, thank you for your service, sir! we chatted a bit, and then I decided to head to Wills Point to fish the Mississippi River at Wills Point, I did get two really good hooks in the first 45mins some big fish that snapped my 60lbs, mono leader, other than that was a bunch of Gafftopsail catfish. I ended up with 4 keeper sizes and a channel catfish to feed the family.
stay tuned for 2nd part of cleaning, fillet, and cooking!
