    Thank you so much for posting this video. I first watched it and I kinda ignored it but kept it in the back of my mind for later. I went on a catfish dry spell for about a year or less and I just decided to try this rig. First time out with this rig I caught 2 channel cats around maybe 8 pounds! (I know some people think 2 isn't that much but for my local lake, 2 catfish in a day rarely happens!) I was stoked! I spent the rest of my summer using this rig and put 6 catfish under my belt. Then, this huge bass decides to try a hot dog, that guy was around 7 pounds! Then a 10lb bass came up, my personal best. As my last summer in California, this rig really changed my love for freshwater fishing. Memories were made and friends were made this summer. Thank you for this rig, it surely works! Now if I get a chance to go for catfish again in Hawaii, I'll definitely use this rig. Aloha!

    As kids we used hot dogs for catfish bait. It works great! I once went fishing with a friend on his boat. We caught nothing all day until I put a scrap of hotdog on the hook. He thought I was nuts until it caught the only fish of the day. Unfortunately we didn't have any more hotdogs after that.

  • @gonedeepseafishing
    @gonedeepseafishing 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    We have used hot dog pieces for years. Then friends brought up some cheese stuffed big red hotdogs to our camp and left them because we couldn't fit them on the grill. We tried one for bait with the kids and caught a baby pool full of bullhead! The skin on the hotdog was so tough you could catch 6 or so on each slice!! We kept them in the baby pool until the hotdog was gone then dumped them all back, fun night! Never thought about using a whole one!!

    They were between 17-27 inches. FAT. We also used a light rig in the water when fishing at night. This as a combo with your rig is A+. THANK YOU!

  • @williamboehme684
    @williamboehme684 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I have heard of largemouth bass caught with them, never tried it though,, once grilling on edge of lake, (hot dogs, of course),, one rolled off of grill into the water and before it sank,, something gulped it down,, never saw it but it was big, in less than 4 feet of water...
    Thanks for the hook / tool tip.

  • @willcfish
    @willcfish  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    like your setup, i usually bend the hook so it approaches a circle hook and also bend it so the point to favor either right or left side of shank. also when fishing on party boats using the above hook bending , would drive the hook into the bait fish so that the hook point is about 1/8" below surface of skin of the bait, my & wife usual catch rate every time was 3 or 4 to one of anyone in the area. [not always the big one but the mostest], regards,

  • @willcfish
    @willcfish  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the young fellows caught a 27# cat this week using the whole dog. I agree you don't need a huge piece but I think sometimes it makes a difference for a big fish.

      Ha! Yes, I had one fellow use the whole dog and caught a 28# another a 21#. A young fellow caught his first cat, a 27" fish on one. They do like them but you are correct it's not necessary to use the whole dog. Just adjust your hook size to the amount you want to use.

      @justme.2538 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      WillCFish Fishing TipsandTricks Hello sir, please i need to ask, should i leave the hot dog 3 days out of fridge before using it? you mentioned something about seasoning it? season it with garlic or what? should it be chicken, beef or pork hotdog?

    • @willcfish
      @willcfish  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Just Me. Just saw this +Just Me. Yes, leave itt out a few days in a plastic bag or container. Garlic salt is good and I would buy the cheapest hotdogs available. All being said I would get a mixed beef/pork.

  • @willcfish
    @willcfish  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If a person whips the rod it might fly off but regular casting is fine.

  • @mattatherton1323
    @mattatherton1323 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    i made some rigs bu i dont have that big of catfish in the pond behind my house so i used smaler hotdogs and instead of a coat hanger i used a paper clip that i straightened out and then made a tiny "hook" on the end. basically the same thing ans your rig but sized down and instead of tying those loops, i used two swivles, one on the main line which had the clasp, and one attached to the hook without the clasp. i clasp the hook one to the main line.

    You are correct about no best bait. Many times people catch a fish on one bait and stick with it. If that's what you use and have confidence in it becomes a go to bait.

    Been using hotdogs for a few years now myself,we catch just about anything on them.we use 2 small cuts and slide them on the hook like any other bait. We do fish close to shore and catch a fair bit too, even bass hit hotdogs. Going to try yur way for getting bigger pieces on thx for making this.

    I just stared at your shirt pocket for 4 minutes. I just use little pieces of Aldi's cocktail weiners. Cat fish love them.Just hook about a1/3 of weiner on a circle hook.Stays on the hook great, and they don't smell bad. One time I was using them for bait under a slip bobber, and caught a 3 lb. largemouth bass.

  • @InKa4484
    @InKa4484 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    yeah i cut them into 1 inch pieces and use a treble basically the same way. I don't use snells and i use fresh hotdog not wrotten. Never had any luck in the river with hot dog but a little in lakes and a lot of luck in ponds. The bait that works the best for me is bluegill heads. The rest of this fish works too but they seem really enjoy the head for some reason.

    I've caught a lot of catfish on hotdogs! Most people think you are crazy when you tell them. But they do work. I think instead of making a tool to run the line through the hotdog, you could probably use a knitting needle.

  • @bigbooty01nascar
    @bigbooty01nascar 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice technique with that hot dog. My best luck in catching HUGE catfish, Blues etc is to use a big glob of rotten chicken guts with a huge hook and cast it out at least 15 to 20 feet away from the bank fishing at night or early in the morning. During the daytime you gotta get it out there far where it's really deep and cool but I actually catch more of these HUGE catfish either at night or early in the morning.

    Never tried the entire hotdog though. Seems like a 6/0 treble stinger hook would be a must for that set-up. Along with a 8/0 Gamagatzu Circle Hook as your main hook. I'm going to try it both ways and see this weekend when it warms up to the 50's!!! Caught my largest Blue Cat and Channel this time of the year. Hopefully the river isn't to high.
