Eat right and live healthily. For those who didn't see the first one. the Fat version • Old school river bank ...

    I used to love fishing this Creek in my old hometown that after the son went down went from catching Creek chubs all day to going on the other side of the creek which was deep over our head I went from the shallow to deep like on a drop off and at dark till 3 hours in the morning you can fill those channel cats and carp just a nibbling on the bait or fingers wrapped around the line and when they run or pack it tighten around the finger it was fun times

  • @madtownangler
    @madtownangler 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Congrats !!!!
    I usually take a weed wacker and a loppers down to my parents once a year to get a nice path to the river. I have to leave the last couple feet alone so tubers don't notice a nice path to their road though. We can drive a car down to about 30 yards from the river unless its high.

  • @randywilson6869
    @randywilson6869 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    My friend and I use to do the creeks. We was about 7 to 12 doing all the time. We would have a campfire and u can take those little catfish down to the water and cut its head off gut it and wash it off. The mix u up some mud then put it all around the fish and toss it in the coals till u notice the mud is drie. Get it out of the fire and just tap on the mud and it all just comes off with the skin. U do need to take salt with u

  • @williamcornelison4721
    @williamcornelison4721 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Finally got to go fishing a bit with a buddy of mine...... Fished three hours and just got one bite, which my buddy grabbed my rod to set the hook. He didn't know I had a circle hook on my leader and jerked the rod..... Fish held onto the bait all the way to the bank before just letting go of the bait.... I couldn't get upset because he didn't know...... But the excitement of finally getting a bit on my new catfish rig was fun..... Still have plenty of time to put some in the freezer...

    Regarding “Sometimes the bigger fish don’t mean that much.”
    I downsized my rods and started focusing more on medium sized fish. Big ones are still fun but a 12 pounder on 8 pound line from a kayak is a blast.

    Congrats Steve on the weight loss, I'm sure you feel like a new man. I'm sure "Mamma" approves.
    I mainly do bank fishing for catfish and I always do some beach combing, fun to find things beside garbage left behind by idiots. I find soft lures, spoons and sometimes a nice crank bait or two.
    Take care and enjoy the moment.

    Yeah those ol stinging nettles will eat you up! And if you're where I think you're at, you might oughta look out for cottonmouths and copperheads, cause they are some around that part of KY, if that's part of the rolling fork then there is! But theys some pretty good flatheads in that little ol river and decent channels too! Anyways yeah you did a lot better this time than last didn't ya? After dropping that much weight everything gets easier don't it?! Glad you're doing alright bud! Next time you go down there you oughta have a couple pieces of livebait, like a couple of medium sized bluegills or green sunfish would be better, I'd just about guarantee you'd get into a flathead or maybe even a purty good channel cat!

    I really like what you said about catching big fish all the time. I think if it’s not a challenge then why even do it.
    Where I’m from we don’t have blue cats and it’s a real struggle to catch flatheads consistently.
    I am thankful for everyone that I catch but when I finally get a big one.
    The adrenaline rush is like no other.
