- In this video ride along as Luke Nichols from cat&carps TH-cam channel visits Steve for some fun fishing below Barkley dam on the Cumberland River. Luke brings his expertise of the many different ways to catch carp on this visit to test them out on the invasion Asian carp that is populated in the Cumberland river. Watch as Steve and Luke finally catch a few of these hard fighting fish but not in the fashion we believed we would catch them with. It ends up that they can be caught on spoons. I dont know why anyone wouldn't want to catch these on the rod and reels. Tons of fun and everyone should give it a try.

*Overall **enjoyable.fishing** recommend I feel the Shadowfire 360 offers excellent value for those who are new to tenkara and don't want to break the bank on their first rod purchase.*
Speaking of carp, I use to catch grass carp on acorns of all things as a child.
I found the fish alway congregated under oak trees along the bank and put two and two together.
No much fights like a carp.
It's a "Big head Carp". Love this channel. If you can't go fishing the next best thing is to watch somebody fish.
thanks for dropping by Michael
Michael Taylor same
i agree michael , youtube great for that.
Michael Taylor spoiler alert
Michael Taylor that looks like a Grass carp but I don't see any scales unless they're more smaller.
Using light tackle to catch big fish is so much fun, I landed a 30lb buffalo fish on 8lb monofilament line using a cheap wallmart pole called the dock demon, the battle lasted so long I actually considered cutting the line, but I just had to see that fish, and thats what fishing is all about, the battle, getting to see your fish and the great outdoors of course.
you said it all right there, thanks for stopping by to leave a comment.
Dock demons are really fun
Random Tube
I fought a 40 pound grass carp for over an hour on 2 pound test. Eventually I started getting impatient and ended up breaking the line. That was the third time I hooked that particular grass carp, still have yet to land it.
Oh yeah yeah it is
Two of my favorite youtubers in one video. You should get Kris Flores to join you next time. Good job guys.
its in the works
Sounds fun to me!

Catfish and Carp FOR SURE. this was very satisfying to watch. I am SO TIRED of watching these sanctimonious sport fishing hotshots just a hucking back sea monsters all day that probably die after all the pictures and bullshit. EAT THEM.

Luke of cats and carp! You two are my favorate!
When I tell people that carp are some of the hardest fighting fish they sometimes don't believe me. They will come all the way in then turn around and take your line out and do that over and over. Super fun fight!
thanks for stopping by to leave a comment Kevin
I live in Nebraska and there are tons of them, all kinds of species and will hit damn near anything. We have caught those Big head carp on everything from Silver spoons, jigs, crawlers, livers, and even grass. If you're fishing from the bank, invest in a $2 rod holder.
You are so right Kevin... They are fierce, FIERCE FIGHTERS. If caught in swift water rivers, are excellent table fare. My grandma and grandpa started a restaurant (and bar during prohibition) on and over the Missouri River called "Camp Rulo"... and Carp was a main fare there, along with the other river fish. My favorite fish to eat out of the Missouri is 'Drum'. They are a bitch to clean, and do not yield much meat, but they are great.
Sorry, but the Big Head Carp are nothing but a nuisance and they are terribly ugly.
Carp are one of the best to get kids to learn how to hook, fight and land fish on. Their eyes bug out when they feel a bigger fish rip the drag on a long run... If kids promise to endure the trip, and you surprise them at an active Carp location.... they'll want to stay and come back at dawn the next day....
If you all remember, I think it was field and stream magazine that informed the outdoor world that if you take kids fishing and hunting and have fun before they turn 12, that they will continue to keep it in the rest of their lives.... and pass it on to their children too..... those of us who made our living in the hunting, fishing, boating and camping world....love and thank you for doing this. The great outdoors thanks you too I'm sure. I doubt they thank the liberal tree huggers though because those weirdos don't understand how to help the great outdoors anyway.
Freshwater drum do the same thing and when you get them close to the bank they make a sharp turn to the left or right.
Carp. A love/hate relationship. Love the fight of catching them, but hate catching them. lol
carp are one of the best fighting fish I have ever caught.
"Freshwater Bull Redfish" 🎣😃👍🏻
Lucky bastards lol!! I love fishing, ive been fishing since i was 5! To be honest, it kinda saved my ass. I grew up in a rough neighborhood, nd once i caught my first striper. I was completely hooked!! So wen the spring/summer time came, i was fishing. Not chilling around the twn.. So like i said i love fishing lol, it doesnt hve to just be striper fishing, any type of fish tht will give u a REAL GOOD FIGHT!!
My uncle always said the best way to prepare carp is to fry it up, serve it on a paper plate, throw away the carp and eat the plate. They do run hard.
My Dad said the same thing to me 45 years ago n many more times
Marceline Ingot hahaha
I agree with Marceline
To many bones on this fish, lacking the taste.
Id rather catch freshwater drum.
Good stuff man!
thanks
one thing about carp they fight hard, be it and carp species. yet asain carp are the hardest to catch
hooking a 20 pounder in the side in high current while fishing right below the dam is a freaking workout.
those things sure are fighters! looks like fun!
hard fighters Kris, you will have to try it sometime
Join us Kris.....Join us....... : )
Steve Douglas The Catfish Dude
What kind of fish is it?
muddyrivercatfishing Asian Carp
Great video 2 master fisherman together is awesome
i'm still trying to catch my first carp
finally! you both are the best catfisherman on youtube and probably in the world!
thanks for stopping by to leave a comment
"Hurr durr doesn't fight as hard as whatever fish I catch"
man u should come to italy and try to catch one of the giant catfish of river Po, the silurus glanis
im working on a plan to do just that
+Alessandro Colosio Better still head to the river Ebro in spain to fish for the worlds largest Wels Catfish.
i have always wanted to go the the Ebro to catch some wels catfish...its truly a catfisherman's dream to go there !!
i would be wedged in a chair eating fettuccine bolognese all day and never get to the river
benjamin parent me deaf Good talk smile 2300 s 2nd st lot84 millville nj 08332
That rod had some nice bend in it! Makes the fight more fun!
yes sir
Awesome fight, looks like fun! We catch allot of big drum around here and they are fun also. Thanks for the video.
thanks for stopping by to leave a comment
There are some huge fish below Barkley Dam. Your really feel helpless when a fish bends your rod totally over and spools off all your line!
YA'LL HAVING WAY TO MUCH FUN WITHOUT ME AGAIN. GREAT VIDEO GOD BLESS
thanks contree man
I aint prejudice when it comes to something big pullin on the end of my fishin rod.i'm in.havent caught a carp yet.maybe someday.
braggin about snaggin.
Huge carp! Great video
thank you it was a blast to make
pound for pound......i dint know if you can beat a big Wiper
But Pound for Pound, the Bluegill is the biggest fighter there is here. Imagine a Bluegill that size! Wow!
the quote "the hardest running freshwater fish" is very false my man. sturgeon run and fight wayyy harder
True, there is gaint mekong catfish and gaint mekong freshwater stingray up to 1300lbs. Yes, 1300lb you read that right.
Pound for pound, I'd disagree.
a 40 lber of each type???? no way the sturgeon fights harder
Sam Gritzke
Pacu is all muscle underwater rocket! but damn these carp fight crazy hard too! gotta love invasives
How did they taste? They are supposed to be very popular food in their native range.
just like paddlefish. Milder than catfish but fairly similar.
I was so hoping it was going to be a big cat. There's a reason they're called asian carps..."nobody else eats them"... Whaaaaaaaaa 🤢🤮
Asian carp are a good white meat fish. They are actually really good eating. Don't let the name carp fool you. Not the Same.
In Poland this fish name is tołpyga its a family of carp
asiian carp is like 5times tthe strength of a regular common carp.
Why can't we comment on Luke's channels?
wow just found your channel looks like i got alot of watching to do!
thanks we hope you like.
I fish under the Kentucky dam just next door to Barkley dam. Catch all those damn Asian carp your boat can handle guys. Then damn fish are ruining the rivers here (Tennessee, Ohio, Cumberland, ect) they eat the same stuff our little bass, crappie, bluegill and cats eat, killing off their populations.
How can you eat carp...my dog wouldn't even eat it. smelt like the soul of shoe stept in poo...sorry. gag!
I thought it was a big blue cat when I saw it in the water. then when he got it in the boat I thought it was a genetically modified rainbow trout. I can't believe you guys are out there eating carp. are times that hard lol. have you ever heard the "carp on a brick in a BBQ" saying, where you end up eating the brick instead of the fish 😂
Spoons?? SPOONS??? 😨😨😨😨 Excuse me??? I thought they were vegetarian-filter-feeders?? SPOONS?? 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
That's what I was thinking
Duane Watson I have caught them on crickets while bream fishing.
billy minter Well I'll be. I cannot catch them no matter what I use for bait!! LOL!! Thats amazing.
If a fish is hungry and they want something they will take it. I saw a big grass carp eat a bluegill once. That grass carp had to be around 4ft long. And they have big months so they can swallow big prey. But yea I've caught carp on jigs and doeballs.
Duane Watson dont always bealieve what you hear or read even if its considered a fact because i have seen carp eat everything they normaly filter feed but if they are hungry enough and they ysualy are they eat everything! i have caught one on liver befor !
That's an experienced fisherman; bringing in a 40Ib Carp on that flimsy looking rod. Great job
I love catching carp, the fastest longest running fish alive. I accidentally caught a 25 pound grass carp from my pond, and it was the hardest fight I ever had. Even a 1 foot grass carp will put up a better fight than a river smallmouth the same size.
Looks like a good fish to catch and have fun with Thanks a bunch
I fish nearly 4 or 5 times a week from about may till October. I once caught a 5# bass still hooked to a pink Barbie fishing rod. Another time I hooked up on a friggin musk rat, he didn't eat the bait,he was snagged. Luckily for him the hook straightened out a little bit and came loose.
Nice video guys! Carp are some of the most fun fish too catch in FW. Nothing runs like they do in FW when you hook up with them.
Smallies jump, flatties bulldog down, and carp just burn your drag washers up.
yeah pound for pound, carp fight as good as any fish. they are a blast to catch and if you know how to clean them, very good to eat
Nice video! That thing was a monster!!!
Hydrocynus vittatus
I always thought carp fought harder pound for pound than cats
they do!!
is the dude from catfish and carp in that boat
Yup. It's in the description.
steve you should have wieghed some of those indiana and ky state record is around 55 lbs
Carp may be a trash fish but when the bass bite is tough I'll always pitch out a line with corn on it to catch a few early morning
Hello, what baits you using for catch this carps?
Sorry to say but sturgon actually get the biggest and run away the hardest carp are second though...
what type of bait did you use
Everyone gets to fish with Doug and Luke !!!! Except Me !!!! And the fish y'all catch are unbelievable !!! I'm so JEALOUS !!
you never know, thanks for stopping by to leave a comment
Don't be jealous. The last time Steve spent any time with me he ended up going to the emergency room.
Catfish and Carp lol 😂 sorry
Catfish and Carp are the fader
📱📲☎📞📟📠🔋🔌💻💽💾💿📀🎥🎬📺📷📹📼🔍
"I wonder why anyone would want to catch these on a rod and reel"!?.. dynomite anyone?!?
they said these eat krill . not bottom crap. ppl say they are white meat and great to eat .
Hardest running freshwater fish is debatable a big striped bass will fight hard as well
Good times for sure....
thanks
what you needed was a rod that we use on the west coast of Canada. That did look like a tom of fun
Fights like a red drum . Strong fish
that carp died because he was too big to be held by his gills like that
Ooo yap, that's a nice big catch I wish i have that dude in my kitchen..
Hardest fighters are steelheads
I fish for both and steelies are a great fighting fish. However, you have probably never had a really big carp on the line. They could teach a steelhead how to fight
live bait for a murray cod! all the carry on for that tiddler.
Asian carp fight HARD!
yes, the sliver carp and black carp at the top for fighting. Look at the pound to pound, winner is the much small mud carp or dace, when they got hooked, just like the rocket on fire.
Laura Holland that looks like a grass carp.
2:22 is when he catches it
2021 May sure would like to go fishing with you before this Marine goes to heaven. Love your sharing fishing video's, keep them coming. Catch / Clean / Eat your Big Catfish.. LOL
i caught my biggest catfish down there at the barkley dam.
nasty ass fish
bow fishing... may be fun to shoot, but can really damage an ecosystem if not done properly. I hope those guys arent sporting it. :/
Reese puff -- bow fishing could barely dent the numbers of Asian Carp in a river or lake, once they get established.
Steven .... your a good fisherman, but if your fishing for trophy sized fish..... you gotta quit using the ultra light tackle..... almost every large fish caught on ultralight gear..... even if revived.... swim away and die after they are released...... something over 70 percent of them.. .. Be sure to spread that around.... Nice boat and awesome livewell.
That face its not a mystery lmmao......................
That's awesome I'm a big fan of both channels
Amazing your video... What is it fish... I follower you.... I wait you in my chanel
Awesome catch as always. :o)))
Well, if it's smaller, you can take a carp and par-boil (or pressure-cook) the thing until you turn the bones to jelly (like Tuna is done)...but I disagree with most that it's 'good eating'...it's just big, lots to eat, and usually done so with lots of other flavorful foods...like turnip greens, hush puppies and whole corn...slathered in salt and butter.
I accidentally snagged a 40lb asian carp while casting jigs. Right behind the dorsal fin. Using an Abu 6500C3 with 20lb mono, he would've absolutely spooled me, I had to use my thumb to stop the spool as I was down to just a few wraps of line left. Couldnt believe I brought it in. Definitely the hardest fight Ive ever had. In the Kansas(aka Kaw) River in Lawrence, KS.
Asian carp one of the best eating fish you will ever eat.
Fuck no
it really is tasty. the y bones are a little bit of a pain but once you get them figured out, they aren't a big deal. Especially when you can easily bring home 100+lb of fish in one trip
Pound for Pound a 15lb plus European Barbel takes some beating. They take off like torpedo's.
Seems like a every fishing video I watch most are on the Ohio river or somebody in the comments is, I’m here in Cincinnati but i literally fish all around Ohio and all around America you can eat the fish out of the Ohio river if you read the Ohio national parks book they let you know what fish is safe to eat where and how many I typically do not fish in the Ohio river because, I typically eat what I catch.
I know it's a lot of fun guys got my wife to go fishing she reeled in a big one on a small gear and she has been hooked ever since Beautiful video by the way from fisherman to fisherman keep the videos coming
What are you using for bait? I did not think you could catch silver carp on rod and reel, as they are filter feeders? Carp and Bowfin (dog fish) are the best fighters in my opinion.
You guys are my daily inspiration for goin after big cats .. good job
nice catch, what is the thickness of your line?
The best fight is a 40 pound choonok
we have alot carps like this in summer every year thanks for your video i was think they are never eating any bait
Ok, nevermind. Found it. Love fishing below that dam. Caught more fish there, than anywhere else. From the mid 80s into the 90s, my dad ran a bait store right down the road from Barkley Dam. Now its just a memory, nothing left of the store
Were you guys snagging them or were they eating your bait? I think you said you were using spoons?
From their full length video of this adventure, most were snagged but a few were caught in the mouth. The takeaway I got from it, is just snag them. If it's not allowed to just use a big weighted treble to snag, then put a really big treble on a heavy spoon and snag them by "accident". If a DNR officer has a problem with someone snagging silver/bighead carp, even if it's not technically allowed, that officer has too much time with too little to do.
Carl H you can shoot them with a shotgun in some places i'm sure in most others you wouldn't get in trouble for snagging them. If you can't snag them then flyfish or bowfish
This reminds me of my days of commercial fishing. I did that for 25 years. We're harvesting grass shrimp just supply bait shops all around the SF Bay Area. Well we're heading up to haul out with the boat to do or maintenance we stopped in San Francisco at a fuel dock. The guy running the doc says you guys got any fish in there. And we didn't but I said to him we got a couple trouser trouts. He said what's that. I said put your hand in your pocket and he busted up laughing. If you want to get free beer. Tell folks that you will tell them where to get the big fish for a case of beer. When they come back with a case of beer. Take your thumb and your finger and grab your lip and say this is where you catch them.
So the $10,000 question is DID YOU EAT IT??? Or was this a classic case of fry and give the cat the fish and eat the batter!!!
I caught a grass carp at my local golf course. It was every bit of 40lbs and I fought it for along time. Best fighting fish I've ever caught!!!!
Spiced Caldo de Carpa n a Bolillo. From Moms Kitchen. Its like a rib, you got to eat around the bones. With finesse lol 😋😋😋😋😋😄
that's barkley dam...exactly why my 7-8 year old boys are spoiled if you never hung into a really big fish..you should go..
You can't compare a 100 lb sturgeon to a 40 lb something else, and salt water to freshwater. I have caught 70 lb sturgeon and it was strong. I have seen big cat's that were strong but the hardest strongest fighting pound for pound I have seen is the WIPER, those things are like a cross between gorilla and a rino on your line.
I have caught the same fish but way bigger
I try to size up Rod and line if I know I'm going for cat and carp. Their bites are pretty easy to feel so not really needing ultra sensitive rigs. And I haven't met to many hook, line or sinker shy. And I don't want my lines breaking. Braid line is my prefered heavy fish line as I get the pound test and thinner diameter. Never bothered trying to eat carp. Where I grew up we was tuaght they can't be eaten lol. Which makes no sense. No freash water fish is toxic. Might try it just to try it one day. Carp are heafty fish.
If you really want a hardest fighting fish ever you should try steelhead fishing my friend pound for pound they are the hardest fighting fish
I don’t know about bighead or silver carp, but common carp (out of reasonably clean water) are perfectly good to eat, even delicious. There is a prejudice/misconception in some circles that carp are either inedible or bad tasting. I’d guess that most who claim this have never tried it.
restaurants are selling asian/silver/bighead carp under the name silver fin. apparently it is very good when we'll prepared. unlimited amount where I live. you can catch more than enough by just taking your boat up river and having them jump in.
It's too bad they're here though. They are messing things up, if we believe the fish and wildlife people.
One thing I've heard though, is that fish with really big heads compared to the body are starving. Could that be true of those monsters?
