Enjoyed your video. I do most of my fishing with my brother too. We share last names with you. Thanks again, Mitch Routh
Mitch, somehow I didn't get notification on this comment. I accidentally ran on to it. My family came from the Crocker Missouri area. I have had 4 or 5 viewers with our last name. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment and I am sorry I didn't give you feed back sooner.
Wonderful video! love the narration. Very calming and enjoyable!
I try to put just enough "talking" in to explain things. The sounds of nature and the outdoors are the best music. That's why we go there. Thanks, Jerry
Man thought I'd have to fast forward but was surprised at how good this video was! Great job old dudes!
Thanks for watching and for taking time to comment.
Love your videos. Just right music and narration. Thank you so much for such a professional job.
I am trying hard!! Thanks for the encouragement, and thanks for watching.
Nice Video creating fun memories with your brother Mr. Jerry, thanks for taking time to make it.
Ched, thanks for the kind words and for supporting my channel. I am very fortunate to live only a mile from my brother and the memories are indeed special.
Thank you for the vodeo Jerry,
I enjoyed the time on the water with you.
Thank you so much for supporting my channel.
I enjoy your storytelling approach to this video. My Brother and I also run jugs together, though our system is different than yours.
I really like your video and look forward to the diy video of your jug design keep up the great work
Looks like a great fishing day with a good friend at the wheel. Really enjoyed the video. Nice lake. I'll bet the fish dinner was really good.
Tom it was a great day. The ever changing Missouri weather makes every trip an adventure LOL. You can't beat Blue Cat fillets for dinner. Thanks for coming along and supporting FISH4FUN.
Thank you for the video Jerry. I enjoyed riding along with ya.
Krystal, thanks for watching FISH4FUN and taking time to comment and I would love having you come along any time.
Great video, commentary reminded me of the show Wild Kingdom with Marlon Perkins.
James, I really appreciate you're comments but I assure you I'm no Marlon Perkins LOL. I appreciate your support and thank you for taking time to comment.
Jerry Routh you could have fooled me. Keep doing the great videos Sir.
Came here for this comment-found your vid while looking for catfish noodles/jugs...you have awesome voice for narrating and first thing i thought of was mutual of omaha wild kingdom from when i was a kid....would love to hear you narrate a childrens book...and great video too!
What an awesome Channel. Great audio editing btw.
Thank you. I am trying hard to learn how to do this. I'll give you a SUB.
Great video! Love the editing and narration
Thanks for the feedback. I am new at this but I learn a bit more with each video. Thanks again, Jerry
Great job!!! B-Safe out there. Man riding shotgun needs. a life jacket on.
Loved the video, makes me ready for warmer weather and lake bound
Great job! It looks like Missouri does not allow weight on line, or in noodle. Is that correct, or how they are designed?
Mike, in Missouri we can fish Noodles for Catfish in two ways. You can float them with weights that hold your bait down as it moves along, or you can "anchor" them in a fixed spot with heaver weights. If you float them, you must stay within sight of the jugs but if you anchor them you may run them once a day without being in sight of them. Silly but true LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice job on editing and narrating. You two know what you're doing, that's for sure. Must be lifelong fishermen.....
Thanks Rick. I am 78 years old and fishing has been my whole life. I am new to making videos and appreciate your comments. Thanks again.
LOVE TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE YOUR JUGS WHERE DID YOU GET THE CENTER PICES IN TUBE THANKS JAMES
Alex, if you will go to my playlists under the "THINGS I DO" list I show all about making my jugs. If you can't find it, hit me back.
Do you have a video showing how you made your jugs? I like that you have the option of setting the different depth on yours.
Yes, you will find a video showing how I make and use the jugs in my playlist under the "THINGS I DO" category. If you have trouble finding the video hit me again and I will give the specific video.
Nice job guys, looks like you had a lot of fun.
We love chasing those jugs. By the way, i also love moral mushrooms!!!! Checked out your channel and loveD it. Gave you a SUB. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
Great video Jerry I am in the process of making some new jugs, I like your design to change the depth, i might incorporate that into my jugs.
I designed those several years ago and they have worked well. This winter I plan to make some DIY videos showing several unique things I have learned over my 65 of fishing experience. The jugs will be included. Thanks again.
By the way I'll give you a SUB
He sounds like a PBS special on the outdoors . I like it
Sorry to be late in responding but my notification track has changed. Thanks for the kind words and we will keep trying hard to please.
Thanks for a great video!
I can hardly wait for my first trip next year. I hadn't been catfishing for about six months and that first trip fishing for any specie is a special thing. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
love that place I go every time I get a chance
Marty, it is one of my favorite places to go also. Thanks for coming along.
Hello there. Do you think you might be able to do a quick video explaining how you set up your noodles to have the adjustable lines? Thank you.
Check my Playlists under the "THINGS I DO" Category and you should find a Video I made showing how I make and use the noodles. Thanks for watching our videos.
@@jerryrouth6115 thanks Mr. Jerry I found it!!! I bought the materials and plan to make a dozen or so with my kids tomorrow!!
This is a plus on my small river jugging... it makes it easier to find them... only 2 directions to look
Chris, thanks for coming along and responding.
I cannot find your video on how to construct the jug lines using the noodles.
It was one of my earlier videos. I didn't go into detail about the construction but rather I showed the features of them and the pictures showed how they were constructed. I will try to make a more step-by-step video for you soon. Thanks for being interested.
Just found your channel and you just got a new Sub. Been catfishin' juggin myself for the last 20 years. Juggin' is very addictive. Keep it up.
I love to float my jugs so I can watch the action. I have nothing against anchoring them but it's not as much fun for me. My next thing to try is to drift-fish for big blue catfish in my Kayak. That would have to be a blast. Hopefully I will have a video about that soon. Thanks, Jerry
Very professional guys
Looks like fun , what are you coiling your line on ?
is that a paint roller handle that you are using to grab the strings?
No, it is a 6' piece of aluminum tubing. We put a rubber insert in the end of it and hand made the hook. Then we put a rubber plug in the end so it would float if we dropped it in the water. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
Luv your videos
Thanks, I am new at this but I learn a lot from other YOU TUBERS. i'll give you a SUB, thanks again, Jerry
This is from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Unanchored jug lines in lakes must be personally attended at least once per hour. Personally attended means that the angler whose name is labeled on the jug line:
We normally stay with our jugs all the time as we did on this trip. Thanks for the heads up John.
nice video man....cant wait to use my jugs
It's that time of the year. Bait is getting easier find and the water temperatures are rising. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
Was this by Warsaw mo? Looked like a place I fish a lot...
Dan, we launched at Fairfield and fished up the Pomme arm a couple of miles. I would bet you have fished the same water several time. Thanks for coming along and maybe we can fish together sometime.
I like your video man I wish I was fishing with you
Michael, where are you from? We are flooded out right now. This spring is starting out like last year. I don't know where I can go make my next video. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN,
that paint roller pole works good for snagging those nuddles
David, it does work well but it isn't a paint roller pole. We made our "picker upper" from a 6' length of aluminum tubing.' We put a rubber insert in both ends so it would float if we dropped it in the water. Then we drilled a hole in the rubber insert on one end and inserted the metal piece to pick up the jugs. Pay particular attention to the shape of the metal tip. Thank you so much for taking time to comment.
Give me a break a fuckin electric knife to cut bait with? You dudes are rookies. Stick to pickin up sticks in the yard and shoppin with maw maw
@@dougjohnson6928 it's a filet knife dip shit. Are they supposed to pack a separate knife to cut the bait? Would it have been better to not turn the knife on to cut the bait, hopping not to offend you? Talk about being a newbie....! 😂 Those guys can out-fish you any day of the week! Show some respect, idiot!
Great video Jerry, So the water in pipe helps stand pipe up when the weight shifts to the other side when a fish is on the line? Question how do you adjust line to the different depths? I am assuming you are fishing on bottom... Thanks
There is no water in the pipe ??? We don't fish on the bottom. We always float our jugs and never anchor them. We want the wind to blow them along to find fish. Watch some of the other jugging videos I made and you will see how we wind the line up and down to fish different depths of water. Thanks for your question and let me know if this answers your question.
golf guy how do you make your jugs they look like a great jug
Ron I am going to show how they are constructed the next time i use them because several people have asked. As close as we live together you should call me and come and get a free one from me. Look me up and give me a call or send me a message. Thanks for watching and that was a fun round of golf we had even though you beat us LOL..
Great video
Thanks for watching FISH4FUN and taking time to comment.
Do you guys ever catch really big catfish? These are nice eatin' size. Also, can you eat the really big catfish?
We seldom catch big ones the way we fish et. eg. drifting the flats or running floating "Jugs." However, the serious cat fishermen often catch larger fish. 30 to 50 lb fish are not uncommon. Thanks for asking, Jerry.
Hi Jerry Routh..i live down at Stockton lake I've got some about like this that was given to me and my 2 sons..ive got to ask tho what's a SUB?
Johnny, a SUB is my abbreviation for "subscribe." When a new viewer comments on my channel I check out their channel if they have one. I checked out your channel and subscribed to your channel. Good luck to you and thanks for commenting on my channel.
Great video sir. How do you make the Jugs?
They are made from swimming pool noodles. I use PCV pipe to keep them stiff and provide a channel to run the galvanized wire through. You can see in a couple of my videos how they are put together. Be sure the bends that hold the line are approximately one foot apart so that each wind is two feet of depth. Each "jug" is approximately 14 inches long. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Jerry Routh can you post a picture or video of how it's made.
Chad, my jugs are made from swimming pool noodles. I cut them in 14" pieces and put a PVC pipe in the hole to make them stiff and provide a place to run the galvanized wire. I bend the wire to provide a place to attach the line and wrap the line around. Be sure to bend the wire so it is 12 inches between bends so you get 2 feet of depth out of each wind. I have 3 or 4 videos where you can get a good view showing how they are constructed. Thanks for taking time to watch my channel and comment.
You should show us how you made those jugs sometime. Good times on the lake, thanks
J D, I made a video showing how I built them. If you will click on "videos" on my channel page you should be able to find it. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Ty
New comment to an old video. Is this Missouri?
The old ones are new to the people who watch them. My viewers seem to like Catfishing videos real well. I have a multi-specie channel but I have promised to do more catfishing during the coming year. Thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas.
New sub here from Oregon.
Thanks for the Sub. I'll check your channel out soon. In a time bind now. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
Jerry Routh you’re welcome! Hope you enjoy my channel also. I’m hoping to get some more content Saturday.
I'm thinking of geting 25 jugs limit and put the out on the creek. Good way to fill the freezer
Evan, where are you from that they have a 25 jug limit. In Missouri we have a 33 hook limit. But, sounds good I am ready to do some jugging too. I just got off the lake and while trolling for Crappie, I caught my biggest Channel Cat. It was 30 1/4 inches long. We didn't weigh it and we released it back into the water. Caught it trolling crankbaits and it took over 30 minutes to land it on 10 lb test line. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Jerry Routh Arkansas I ment 25 hooks jugs are good to fill the freezer
Beautiful catch. Lots of fun. Witch. Lake it’s this.
Lorenzo, this video was filmed on the Osage River arm of Truman Lake and we launched out of Talley Bend launch ramp. Great place to fish for catfish. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
Love it. Very nice video. I would call an old dead tree where the eagle was a snag too.
Cute play on words huh? Thanks for coming along and taking time to comment.
Did you keep them.
I'd love to see a video on how to make those
I thank you are talking about the catfish jugs? I plan on doing some DIY videos this winter and they will be included. Thanks again, Jerry
Thank you
Phil, thanks for coming along. It's about time to start floating those jugs again.
Are there no channel cats on that lake?
Quite the opposite, there are an abundance of them. I catch them frequently. I fish most often for Blue Cat which are more of an open water fish and are therefore more prone to bite the way I fish. Thanks for your comment.
Newbie sub here...great fishing video..thank you for info. Bass Lady B
Thanks for watching FISH4FUN. Your channel has some great potential. Enjoyed watching, thanks again.
I quit juggin cause I noticed one guy does most of the work...
My brother and I share the work load about equally except when I am making a video LOL. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN and taking time to comment.
How did you make your hook pole
Dale, sorry I miss this thread. I used hard rubber from a worn out boat trailer bumper and then used the same material to plug the other end so it would float if we dropped it in the water. Hope that helps and thanks for responding.
So are you responsible for any damage that’s done to anybody’s blade if the damage them with the line
I am not sure what you mean but thanks for watching my videos.
Jerry Routh he means if your jugs get caught in someone’s motor, what happens?
Where did you get your name tags for your jugs?
Excellent question. I saved plastic milk cartons which have a rough surface to hold ink, cut them the size I wanted and used permanent felt markers to write on the plastic tags. By the way, if you are from Missouri and have a Conservation Number, that's all you need to put on them. You don't even have to put your name on them. And most people don't use tags they write directly on the Styrofoam jug. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yea, I am from Mo. Good info to know.
I used Self Laminating sleeves containing a name tag with all my info. Just using my Conservation # will make things a lot easier. Thanks.
What lake where y'all on
Michael, we were on Truman reservoir. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I liked video
Thank you Robert. We will be doing more jugging soon. The repair work on the dam should be finished and they can bring the lake level back up.
Buzzard in that dead tree..
I am not sure which dead tree but there were buzzards and eagles everywhere. The large lakes attract the large birds. Thanks for watching and taking time to comment.
You put a three way swivel with the diving plug ahead of a rooster tail with a orange and gold blade or chartruese and silver blade you will catch more white bass trolling
I often use a three-way technique but I usually troll a shallow running minnow shaped lure over a deep running crankbait. The Rooster Tail is one of my favorite lures but I never thought of that combination. I use my Rooster Tails mostly for trout although I have caught lots of white bass casting them. Thanks for the tip buddy.
Myself and a good friend who showed that technique have gone to Kerr Lake in Virginia in June or July and trolled over humps and killed them,sadly he is no longer with us,when I saw you white bass fishing I remembered him.
if you would check out (cottontop) making fishing jugs , you will see his jugs aren't as hard to find,and you will know when you have had a fish on............................JS*
Thanks for the heads-up. I will give it a try.
Nice eating size catfish. I am not big it to bass.
That's alot of jugs to catch
It sure is, especially on a windy day. But it is so much fun chasing them down and trying to keep tract of them. It is also a lot of fun getting comments from viewers. Thanks you
Is this really fishing?
It is to me. I am a multi-specie, multi-technique and multi-venue guy. Not everyone likes the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Jerry my Brother in-law is a Texas state Game warns here. why don't you come to Texas and we go put some jug lines out and you in your Boat? I have 275 jugs made up for lake Houston I have a boat ramp here that is free! !
Dale, that is so nice of you. I sure would like to do that but I am 80 years old now and have to limit my driving somewhat. I haven't made a jugging video yet this year but plan to do so as soon as the Blue Cat finish their spawning activities, which should be very soon.. Thanks for your comments and support.
Keep in mind that in Missouri you are required to be within eyesight of any free floating jug at all times. Also you are allowed a maximum of 33 Hooks and I heard you say you put out two groups of 20 which will be over the limit. Sorry for nagging but I used to write tickets for these sort of things and Truman Reservoir was one of my hunting grounds LOL. Just trying to help.
We always stay within eyesight of our jugs as we did on this trip. The 33 hook limit is per fisherman which means we were each allowed 33 hooks. We used 20 of his and 20 of mine and each set of 20 was properly labeled. Thanks for checking and commenting.
Jerry Routh Gotcha. Ok. Its a great lake and a fun sport. Enjoy.
mattdidit84,
Not really, unlike you he can add and count as most Conservation Officers, I can write tickets also, you need one ?
waste lots fuel fishing your way, either than that, great video !
Not too bad. My 60 horse four stroke doesn't use much gas at trolling speed. Also, I do a lot of trolling with my electric motor when conditions favor that such as low wind, clear water and less boat traffic.
No much boat traffic on that lake
It depends on where you fish and when. Waters close to launch ramps, restaurants, and other recreational business have more boats. Also the number of boats greatly diminish after Labor Day and before Memorial Day. I normally fish during periods of weather less appealing to people that don't fish. I fish a lot during high wind and rain. The fish bite better then and there are fewer fishermen. Also where I live (On Lake Pomme de Terre) I am with a 1 !/2 hour drive to Truman Reservoir, Lake of the Ozarks, Stockton Lake, Tablerock Lake Bullshoals and Lake Taneycomo. With this much water to fish it helps spread out the boat traffic. Thanks for comment and thanks for watching my channel.
Jerry,
You live in fisherman's Heaven !
I have only been to Truman but have a read and seen pictures of some of the other lakes.
You need to let us see the fish you catch for a few seconds.
Thanks for the advice. I promise to do that. I always like to get opinions about making my video's. Thanks for watching, Jerry.
Those are noodles, not jugs.
Jordan, you are right about that. Those generic terms are sometimes confusing. Corks aren't made of cork anymore, white perch aren't Crappie and Jack Salmon aren't Walleye LOL. Thanks for dropping by and taking time to comment. Merry Christmas and great holidays.
What State are you fishing in it is not TEXAS. all jugs lines has to be White. !
I am fishing in Missouri. I never new about the rule in Texas. That's interesting, thanks for commenting.
Someone gave you bad information, Dale. In TX jug lines must be orange if set for commercial purposes or any color other than orange if set for non-commercial purposes. tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/general-rules-regulations/legal-devices-for-fish
well u can have fun paying the finds wine my dad whites thim out
The beautiful lake Truman in Missouri , near Kansas City. Made journey there many years ago (1985 during the World Series ) and sorry to say I have never made it back. It is worth just motoring around up the arms and looking at the beautiful rock cliffs .
@@dalefeazell7236 For non-commercial purposes, a jugline must be marked with a free-floating device of any color other than orange.
For commercial purposes, a jugline must be marked with an orange, free-floating device.
hey decent video come check out the one we just released let me know what you think
Checked out your video and gave you a SUB> Thanks for watching and I will be watching your channel. My channel is a multi-species channel too. Thanks again, Jerry
Awesome stuff
Thanks for watching FISH4FUN. Gave you a SUB.
You call that fishing Your mother or father Must not teach you how to fish
It is good enough for 96,000 viewers!!!!! I will never be able to fish like my dad. Thanks for watching.
That's how those men enjoy catching fish ! Actually more work involved the way their doing it. If your a true sportsman, there are many different ways to catch fish, all fun in their own different way !!
Wonderful video! love the narration. Very calming and enjoyable!
I don't to talk much while filming. I want to hear the sounds of the outdoors, that's why I am out there. I also don't like to overuse music. I play guitar and write songs but neither compares to the quite music of nature. Thanks for watching FISH4FUN.
I feel the same. Some of these fishin' videos are more talk and no fishing.
