- Landed this giant earlier this week. The one that finally didn't get away. Was so heavy it bent the handles of the scale as I was taking the reading and I completely forgot to measure the girth. I have no idea if the weight is right, but between 88-90 is the last thing I saw before the scale began collapsing under weight and I set it down. The mud made it very difficult to weigh.
What a monster, he looks like he's closer to 100 not 90 ~ Congratulations!
Come fish in stl bro you’ll love it here we catch big boys all the time out here
Thanks for the absence of fight commentary and never once sating “insane” or “friggen but letting the fight and your effort speak for itself. Well done and enjoyable. Congratulations!
So you don’t like commentary on videos? Sometimes that’s the best part, we can watch anybody fish at anytime...the different personalities speaking while fishing make it enjoyable
Where u using mono or braid?
I think that’s a good point, but I’m still baffled he was able to keep quiet, I would’ve been hootin and hollerin over a fish like that
@@stephenkrambeck6589 agreed... Me too 🤣
🙏🏻
Sportsmen like you who let these giants go and the river being cleaner than it was in the 1960s have made this possible. Congratulations and thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Appreciate it man. Not my most graceful release but when you're handling a fish that big things aren't gonna go perfect and I wanted it back in the water as soon as possible. The mud was really working against me here. Thanks for watching!
Keeping the rivers alive and healthy is what all real sportsmen want.
You just showed up on my " suggested " list.
Nice day on the riverbank and really really nice fish!
Subbed.
One of the only real fishing videos on Utube. You were fishing. I did not fast forward or mute the sound. Thank You so much. Great Job fishing by the way

Looked like a damn submarine! Incredible!
The sigh of relief when you pulled that beast on the bank congrats brother!
Tell me about it... I was convinced something would go wrong lol. Thx for watching!
I’m in Columbia. Never had one that big yet, but my time is coming. Congrats again
Your time if defiantly coming.....
It’s monsters down there
I'm close to Columbia MO as well and I've gotten a 75 and 80 pound blue but not rod and reel
@@chadballard6770 same. We mostly do alternative methods. But I’ll hook one with a stick one of these days. I live near mcbaine, and try to fish all summer.
@@cat-tales8109 I'm gonna be fishing near mcbaine towards the end of February, maybe the last weekend in February. How are the shad around Mcbaine? Easy to find?
NICE RELEASE MY FRIEND GO BACK AND CATCH HIM AT 100 lbs
If more people would post videos like yours, I would not mute, fast forward or dislike so many of them. You were fishing non stop, did not talk more than you fished and did not make them high pitched sounds like a girl. Thank you so much.
Ron in los angeles
Thanks Ron... That's my style glad you liked it!
I've been in Columbia for 5 years never got bigger than 10 lbs Blue Cat from Dixie Lake but life was so valuable. THANKS Mizzou
Guys like you that return the big ones allow the species to propagate. Thank You!
Another great one, that has to be your new personal best, after the 70 plus in the kayak, catfish Dave, look out!
Us Californians don't know nothing about that LOL that 11 minute video was worth watching
That is one fish that actually looked bigger than what the scales showed. Good on ya! Thanks for the video.
Thanks Charles!!
The fish that everyone is waiting to hook...
Yeah naw i need shark gear for that sucker
That was a giant.👍great job from start to finish.
Awesome job! Beautiful fish! I'm so happy you got to fish during class so that we could enjoy this monster with you.
Thanks! Yes fishing beats school any day of the week
It was a beautiful fish before this guy got a hold of it
I just love how he kept quiet during the fight, so disciplined. Great job.
Good job man, fighting the big fish, the mud... True dedication!
I fish the Missouri in Washington mo. I haven't had much luck with any big cats this year. Just found your channel. Another sub for you sir.
Congrats! You’re now my favorite catfishing channels 😂 and this was on my recommended, nice catfish!
You worked for that one. Great catch.👍
Subscribed. Really appreciate the fast forward on the long fights and the lack of music and talking. You just fish and that is what I appreciate about your channel. It reminds me a lot of NDKAYAKFisherman
Thanks Alex! Yes, fishing is my peace and quiet time... I have no desire to narrate lol
That looked like a heck of a fight. Even your smaller fish went bad at all, great video man
And with no net! Congratulations man!
Great fish! Anything over 70lbs is tough to handle bank or boat. Nice !
This is the first video where the person doesn't talk and I can enjoy just the catch and the water nice catch
Thanks Justin!
He didn’t seem all that big until you held him up and then I was like 😮🤯😲🤯 good catch bro
That was a STUD blue, Congrats of a fish of a lifetime!!!👍🤗🤗🤗
Yeh buddy
Man your adrenaline had to of been thru the roof with this catch! Great work buddy
Man, what a tank. Congratulations on a fish of a life time. One suggestion try using a big dip net, better for the fish, easier for you. Once again great video, Congratulations.
That's a awesome fish, you got me beat I fish the James River a lot and 71 lb is my biggest so far but we catch a lot of 30 to 55 pounders and occasionally one between 60 and 70, you should definitely be proud
I'm in Cincinnati on the Ohio river.haven't caught any that big myself but have seen some caught 50-60+ lbs.its hard catfishing when the Gar are running sometimes.awesome catch my friend.
Same here I'm from Steubenville I learned if u put a swivel n let it rest on the eye of your hook n just tie an 8 14 inch pice or stran of nylon or pull rope 8 of 10 times ull land them gar. Tried everything n nothing worked till I tried that it like velcro to there mouth
Wow! Looks like you can use some more line on the reel. Great catch
Brother, that was GLORIOUS!! An epic battle and victorious fight to the finish!! Congratulations on that miracle catch!!! WOW.. Could watch this over and over again!!!
Thanks man!!
@@bradhilton8803 you're absolutely welcome buddy! If you get a chance come enter into our giveaway!!
Whoa-ho-ho.HUGE. You need a new scale. Way over 88. Congrats. Amazing start to finish. Love the video.
Man that was a monster from the bank… Awesome video man.
Be careful on those mud ledges. I've been in my boat and seen big sections of them collapse into the river out of nowhere.
wow !!! Beautiful fish 🐠 🎣 . Great job
Beast of a fish, congrats bud.
Never hooked a fish that big and was so quiet lol good stuff man
CONGRATULATIONS! I just started watching your videos! That was a TANK of a BLUE CAT! Keep fishing Bro! From north Alabama
Thanks George!
I moved from Illinois to Florida to be with family because i left at 18 to find work, and because i was offered a job i couldn’t refuse, when i lived in Illinois i lived off a branch of the mississippi, we never had giants we just had tons of small ones, biggest one i’ve ever caught was a 31 pound blue, but here in florida i like fishing at a lake behind my house, but it’s a bass lake, we have 13-15 pound bass, but we only have small little 5-7 pound catfish, so keep up the awesome works and tight lines.
Thanks Hunter. Glad you're still able to get some good fishing in down there!
UltimateHookset Bass aren’t my cup of tea haha, they’re a little too finicky, they’re such picky eaters and all there is in this lake is huge bass and small catfish, the bass won’t eat anything besides a black beaded trick worm, and the catfish won’t eat anything besides cheese and bread dough, so it makes fishing hard because with Covid everywhere has been sold out of Strike King worms, so i’ve been left the past two weeks sitting at home wishing i was in my boat fishing.
Wow congrats!!! Gives me faith in my bank fishing.
Amazing catch, man. That looked tough trying to land that giant fish in all that mud. Nice work.💪
Dude it sure was... made things twice as complicated! Just glad to have gotten it in and back in the water....thanks for watching!
WOW. So cool!!
That thing is a freakin’ tank 😳 Congratulations!!
I’m glad you done say everything you see like other anglers.
Nice catch, kudos for throwing it back in.
Filipino angler here... What an awesome catch......
Awesome fish buddy love catching them big ol blues!
Good healthy cats in your region! Right on! Nice catch!
Wow great fish

Hell yeah man. Good work!
Pretty cool you released it, those are hard to let go that big
DUDE!! HOLY CRAP!!
Epic catch! That was awesome to watch. Thank you for sharing with us 😎💪
That fish was beautiful! And I really like your channel, sir. Not a lot of talking, and a lot of fishing! Well done and God bless.
Oh my gosh, what a beast. I would be really nervous to catch one that big. And wondering how to get it up by myself. Great job, I also seen your arm shaking to
Wow what a MONSTER CATFISH now the next goal is to get 100lb. Congrats on your catch.
Damn, I'm seriously jealous.
Great fish! Glad to see this video getting the views it deserves. Was it on 30lb mono?
Great composure. Awesome catch.
That was one awesome catfish Good Job 🇺🇸💪🏼
Sweet catch! Great job getting it in.
52' incher! Wow! Good job guy!👍
Those Abu reels are nice and worth every penny , Built solid,,,, Couldn't tell the pole you was using , But very nice fish
Congrats
Nice! Those big blues are too much fun
That was sick my biggest flathead is about 30 no blues here in AZ fish mostly big swimbaits for big bass but when stay overnight I will catfish awesome catch!!! Cheers!!! :))
cool calm and collected like nothing ever happened lol congrats on the catfish of a lifetime
Caught a 40 pounder in the Meremac River on a limb line. Was a huge fish, I can’t even imagine hauling in a beast like that! Nice catch!
Thanks man! Was it a blue or a flathead?
UltimateHookset Flat head in some super shallow water! When I grabbed that line thought it was hung for sure but it slowly came up & my heart jumped once I saw that beast!
Some how you kept the excitement in check. Dont think i could have done that. Good job
Hell of a fish man....great job!
Awesome catch, congrats man!!!
Thanks Justin!
Great catch! Big cats are a blast!👍
I live in Missouri south of St louis. Congratulations man it looks like I'm going to net some gizzard shad and hit the river tonight.
Mississippi? good luck!
Yeah I've only fished the Missouri a few times since the Mississippi is only a half mile from my house I can hear barge traffic.
This winter I plan to hit the Missouri River alot more then the Mississippi so maybe I'll see you around if you fish the winter months.
@@scottwilkins1591 yup I'd like to fish the Mississippi more, but I'm the opposite situation as you, it's a lot further from me. Thanks for watching man!
UltimateHookset were was this at
Nice!! Moving to kc soon. I will be upgrading my fishing equipment. Don’t think my trusty zen o 202 is going to handle those lol
Mother of God that first catfish though.... it was still big, you made it seem like it wasn't a big deal at all
Nice! That was a real life Hunker Junker!👍
Loved seeing the release. She will be another mans video one day.
Said same about ex-wife
@@KA-om9oz yeah yeah, we all know she left for someone better
Awesome catch man. I live in pa sadly my rivers don't have blues in but do have monstrous flatheads and the cats been biting like crazy lately
Oh yeah, a giant flathead is just as much fun! Thx for watching!
Nice haul dude! Wow!
I bet you felt that one in the morning, all back and no legs. Damn mud. Great catch.
Great show , I have a suggestion,.when people watch fishing adventures the things that make them come back for more is to see the hit ,the rod bend , to watch the fight ,and see the fish landed but another thing is they love to see the weight of the fish before you turn it loose and if you hold it mid body by the mouth and where ever they get a sense of just how big it is if it's a large fish .also people love to see you bait and set out your rod . I don't know how many views you get , probably a lot but I promise if you do or try what I said your views will pick up by double digits try it , sure you will see. Good show
Looks like that Abu Garcia reel handled that fish with relative ease. 😉👍
Yes, they pack a lot of power!
You've probably answered this question quite a few times before but what is your setup? Your rig? I'm close to the Ohio river and a few nice lakes. I've catfished when I was younger but lost touch with the fun. I want to get back into it. I'm glad you don't talk like crazy and it's really nice to watch you land those great fish. Awesome, just awesome.
Thanks man... I'm not familiar with the Ohio at all really but over here on the MO and MS the water is very swift. You may have to adapt the rig to your river but I just use a carolina rig with 6-8 oz of lead on C3 7000 reels. I've got a video on it, it's pretty simple.
Liked this vedio! Straight up action! Not a bunch of talkin! Bet it was heart race when you seen him! Wow! Who was more tired?
Damn what a catfish.., impressive catch
Insane catch bro great job
Subbed.... That was great man. Nice cat. We go to a place its not a river though. Our biggest is about 61 lbs. Freaking awesome.
That was a huge blue catfish
One day I hope to catch one that big
Saw the title, clicked, saw where he was landing his smaller fish and that mud and said omg how is he going to land the beast. Great job
Thats what i like to call a real water hefer nice man awesome catch
Fish of a life time! Are you still fishing at night or exclusively daytime? Thanks keep it up and again thanks for releasing these!
I am typically a daytime fisherman. I night fish only with friends usually....thanks for watching!
Nice job! 💪🏼
Nothing to say but GREAT WORK BRO
Ron in Los Angeles
Dang nice fish my friend! Congrats!
That's definitely on my bucket list
Awesome fish! Congrats
I’ve got my share of 100 pound gars but no cats that big yet! Got a few crazy catfish videos myself!
