I hook my net up to an old extendable swimming pool service pole. Can extend up to 18’. I’ve lost a few good ones too. That was a nice fish man, cool videos, subscribed 🤙🏼
I was fishing top water one time at the aquaduct stumbled across somebodys lines in the concrete slab cracks. Pulled up a 25 to 30 lbs catfish. Log rolled him back down the canal bank. Gigantic fish.
After the third one slipped away I was rooting for the fish. High comedy, but I respect your dedication and love for fishing. 😂 Maybe the Delta or some of the canals are a better fit.
That ladder will hold probably hold you. I have some advice for fishing there. I’m disabled when I fish there I have to use a rope. Tie up to my vehicle or any secure metal pole that’s already there .and also my waist. I can’t swim lol. If you not comfortable with that. Other option long gaff, Or long rope and a crab net so you can pull it up from the bridge
@bigdade4209 I do buy a new pack of anchovies every time but only in case I run out of the older anchovies. To be honest, that's one of my secrets. I throw whatever is left in the freezer for the next trip. The older anchovies will develop a stink, and that is what attracts the fish...the only problem is, once they thawed out, they get mushy very quickly
definitely gotta spend the $$$ and get some good quality line, pline or sunline fluro my go to. also make sure your knots are tied correct, if it doesn't look good when you seat it retie it. and like other people say walk it back.
Yup, whenever I land a striper I get it to the side of the wall and just backpedal instead of yanking it. The thing that sucks with catfish is sometimes their sharp ass pectoral fins get caught on the cement lol
You should have gone down the latter. It would have held you up for sure. I've landed tons of fish doing so. If your net is short, you'd have to unless you take your chances scaling aqueduct wall. Crab net would do the job too.
Over all I likened you video,, yea put out some more I watch n comment just joking with you you good fisherman bro, peace n love some Jesus ok,,,besafe love you bro,,peace
We use our ocean fishing rods for the catfish in the canals of imperial valley. 40-60lb line . Be careful fishing alone. The video does no justice how steep the walls to can be. Not to mention all the slippery sand and gravel around.
Big mistake trying to bring up your big fish by hand. You should've taken your time to fight the fish to wear it out, and then thumb your line and bring it up with your rod inch by inch if necessary.
You have a perfect hook set but wats the use if you can't land that son of a biscuit eater, ,n I'm sorry to say biscuit cause it got you hungry,,,running tonthat corner every time was at least a good workout,,,now RUN TO JESUS
Put that other pole in the pinche truck before you break it ,,nombre way don't let the fishing world down ,,by being a sloppy fisherman, come on guerrmo

Thank you
I use a crab net with a rope
You are awesome... I'd have thrown my fishing rods into the water... drove home, got my net.. back to the aqueduct... and thrown that in too!😊
Oh dang. You *is* indeed a very *biggie* boy. We are all glad that you did not go down the ladder on the first fish.
BTW, always keep the *net* in the truck.
You are a *_wise_* and *_law abiding_* human being indeed. *Subscribed~~~*
He might be able to go down but not up 😂 he will look like the fish flopping everywhere

What time of day do you usually like to fish? In the morning or afternoon?
I like the afternoon...more opportunities for a biting window in my opinion
So You're funny from all the videos I've ever seen, this is the best man. I can't believe this
What was the bait?
Anchovies
@@ReelCheapFishing nice, thank you.
Do you buy a new pack of anchovies every time? Or just throw them back in the freezer for next time?

When you prepare you get skunk 😂
That's true

Pin point please 🙏 📍
Lol Somebody needs stronger fishing line just saying. Great video tho keep hooking it up.
For sure...I'm definitely upgrading
Why fish an area like that with no net smh
Over all I likened you video,, yea put out some more I watch n comment just joking with you you good fisherman bro, peace n love some Jesus ok,,,besafe love you bro,,peace
should have brought a pier net.
Yeah I have one but I forgot to bring it on this day lol

that hella sucks brotha.. ive fished there couple times and never caught anything..
I think I just got lucky that I encountered a school of stripers on this day
Yeah could be.. all you used was anchovies? I have the worst luck with them haha … I usually catch them with night crawlers
Damn bro we need to work together u need to work on your health we all should be able to go up and down that latter
Damn....
Bro!!!!!!!!!!!
You know you're not supposed to fish without your net😮😮😮
You crossed the fence🤦🏻♂️ yep if game warden pulls up its GAME OVER
What happens if you get caught?
What are you talking about you can cross the fence, you think you can only fish over a bridge?
Fence only stops vehicles from driving
Wow...slowly walk back instead of raising yanking your rod up trying to bring up the fish next time.
Time for some Braided line
Maybe...I just hate it when you get snagged with braided line lol
Braided line gets cut easier than mono or fluro.
Dude you sound like you’re gonna have a heart attack.
Emotional Damage
That first fish bruh…. I felt that… 😢
What in the name of poseidon did I just watch?
My fishing fails lol
Big mistake trying to bring up your big fish by hand. You should've taken your time to fight the fish to wear it out, and then thumb your line and bring it up with your rod inch by inch if necessary.
Yeah I wasn't thinking properly that at the moment lol
Preparation bro should have a drop net ,invest in your channel,,,go buy a 70.00 drop net, come on soldier. Prepare. ,now RUN TO JESUS
You sure u okay you breathe so hard
I'm a big guy lol
You have a perfect hook set but wats the use if you can't land that son of a biscuit eater, ,n I'm sorry to say biscuit cause it got you hungry,,,running tonthat corner every time was at least a good workout,,,now RUN TO JESUS
You pulled to hard should have worn the fish out more thake your time more I know have lost a few stripers that same way...
Put that other pole in the pinche truck before you break it ,,nombre way don't let the fishing world down ,,by being a sloppy fisherman, come on guerrmo
Bro u working way too hard!! Lol u need to invest in a crab net
