@@FredExvideo Brother, did you use chicken? , and what you put in, I only understand that you put ginger, garlic, and cooking oil, but I don’t understand anything else, can you tell me?
About thirty years ago we were taking chicken livers and soaking them in strawberry banana jello for a day or two. Would toughen up the liver enough to stay on the hook. Here in my area I simply use fresh shrimp for bait. It catches some nice two to five pound fish consistently.
Used your recipe after fishing a paylake 3 nights with no bites. First night woth your bait I caught tournament winning fish for the night. Thanks. Awesome recipe. Verified it works.
@@FredExvideo Brother, did you use chicken? , and what you put in, I only understand that you put ginger, garlic, and cooking oil, but I don’t understand anything else, can you tell me?
I personally don't think the red color does anything. Especially if you are fishing 12ft or deeper. Red is the first color that disappears in deeper water due to the lack of light. No light, no color. I believe the smell is more important than the color.
Considering the idea that the color doesn't matter BUT the damn Kool-Aid is so cheap - I'm gonna try it anyway. Perhaps it's the sugar or other chemical in the mixture that attracts them??? I'm a NOOB - so.. anyway.
I use the exact recipe but with sardine oil with olive oil. Does great for cats in the 10lbs range. Guys talk big talk about cut bait. But if you're fishing ponds or rivers making up some cheap bait is best.
I tried using this bait the last time I went fishing, and I got asked to leave due to the bait stinking up the place. Apparently they don't like it at old age homes when you break into the courtyard and start fishing in the Koi pond
switch you chicken breast out for chicken gizzards, gizzards hold way better on the hook, and can be used for a couple of fish, switch your olive oil out for peanut oil, switch your whole cloves of garlic to the minced garlic in oil you can get in a jar at food lion, max 3 dollars. chicken gizzards are about 2-3 dollars a pack if that, let set outside for a few hours in the heat, then stick in the fridge in a couple of zip lock bags. you're welcome.
@@mtarmygrd it's about min/maxing your bait....CG is cheaper to get, and can go through several fish strikes and hold on the hook better then your run of the mill chicken breast. you can fish with peanut butter bread balls, and peanut butter boilies, switching to a peanut based product adds that little more to the game. switching out the whole garlic to a minced in oil, the garlic has permeated the oil already, less soak time, the oil is a transition fluid for the bait and adds extra amino acid to the water with the CG. you let it sit outside to break down, letting the aminos in all the products to come together. there is a difference in upping your game to big fish standards, and piddling around with minnows...listen to experienced people and stop taking stabs at them armature, you might learn something and get better bites...-.-
I was only joking. I agree with you...to be honest I have always done better with fresh cut bait. Tried it hundreds of times compared to stink baits and the fresh or live bait always outperforms..shhhh don't tell anyone but mormon crickets are the best.
@@mtarmygrd well i will apologize. you never can tell with people in comments anywhere on the net. i do agree, fresh baits like shad species, and brim, if you have access to it will always, always bring in the bigger fish. i've never had luck with stink baits, unless it is a stocked pond, and usually you have to pay per pound for those. we fished the james river in va, the deep bottom boat ramp area, all the way over to historic henrico with the chicken gizzard bait, and it was blue heaven. we fished at night, and no matter the year, always had luck with the chicken gizzard bait when we could not net shad. the guys that fished that area always used shad heads at 3 inches, and pulled in monsters. the hopewell marina was also a good place to put in, cheap ramp fee also. the owners there are good people. name of the bait shop is fish tails 2.
This is the only catfish bait video that made me laugh good stuff bro wish I could swing by Texas and fish with ya thanks for the content keep it up bro 💯
Awesome video! Many moons ago I went for catfish working out of town near the Ohio river. An old timer suggested to buy chicken livers and leave them out in the sun for at least 2 days. Worked like a charm!
I normally leave mine out for like 3.5-4 days so they get a little dry but not all the way and the majority of the time I catch more than if I had just put it in the freezer then went fishing
I started cooking my fish in the microwave using the steamer. You skin the fish you gut it remove the head put a couple part's of butter, some Tony C A little bit of bodia complete. Small fish 5min and you can get the meat off the bone and the bone adds flavor to the meat. Sweet delicious 😋 fish.
Haven't tried olive in the recipe. I've seen videos just chicken and kool aid, I use garlic salt with chicken and kool aid. I've even seen lemonade kool aid used. I've caught white drum with kool aid chicken at Lake Whitney with either tropical fruit or cherry flavor.Going to try adding cajun seasoning for my Louisiana trip and catch some cajun cats lol.
I've used something similar but pureed the livers in a blender and then added that to the chicken breast. Kris Flores calls it "Chicken Liver Chum Bait"
When the fish seemed "sore mouthed" at paylakes, I've used whole half breast soaked in strawberry peppermint and cherry peppermint. Caught several 30s 40s and a couple 50lb blues off of it
I use jello instead of kool-aid but I hate to burst your bubble people have been using this mix for a while now I've been using it for at least 5 years and I agree it works great
Don't let anyone discourage you about using chicken just because it's easy to catch at the grocery store does not mean it's not a good bait it is actually one of the best page you can use if you're fishing tidal waters over clam beds for blue cats is not worth a s*** for flatheads but you will eventually catch a trophy size blue cat
Lol. Hopefully you're trolling. If you think chicken is good bait just wait till you try fresh cutbait from a skipjack or shad. My first time using skipjack was on the Ohio river at the greenup dam. I caught a 54 and 70lb flathead. That was over twenty years ago. Since then I've caught countless fish 50 plus lbs. Any serious fisherman knows I'm just stating facts. If you use zebco 33's and fish with Wal-Mart bait you'll catch Wal-Mart quality fish. (Dinks) If you want trophys try what I said. You'll be surprised.
@@FredExvideo nah just honestly wanted to help this guy start catching real trophy fish instead of dinks like you. Still no video of those giant chicken cats huh Fred? Nope. And you never will. Hey by the way. I caught a 5, 7, and 10 pound largemouth bass a few days ago. Not the teener I was looking for but at least they wasn't yearlings like you fish for. Peace Fred.
I’ve been fishing for trophy cats for over 20 years, and fishing in general for over 30, and in all those years I’ve never caught a single decent catfish on chicken. I’ve caught a few channel cats and a few bullhead, but that is literally it. I’ve tried with and without kook aid, with and without garlic, and every other combination I could think of, and nothing. Maybe you the catfish in Texas just have a more refined appetite than here in Ohio. I’ve caught a 106 pounder, a 98 pounder, and ten more over 50 lbs, and every single one of them were caught on live bait. I’m going to the paylake tomorrow. I will make some of this to your specifications and let you know if I catch anything. This might work in the paylake, but I can’t see it working in the Ohio river
Might or might not work in ur area. But to be honest this bait has never steered me wrong. I catch fish every single time. Whether in a lake. Pond. Stream. Don’t matter
I don't even bother with chicken; I just use hot dogs with kool-aid and a little garlic powder. It's by far the best catfish bait I've ever used, and not just for channels either. I've had a bunch of 15-20lb flatheads, and it works just as well for carp (and striped bass) too.
I always give cats a choice of two or 3 different baits when the start of fishing season begins,,for instance i might have two hooks on one rod but have shrimp on one and some type of cut bait on other,,catfish will eat anything but when they are spawning they really seem to like shrimp on santee cooper lakes,,im going to try your recipe,,i have always soaked my shrimp in garlic salt overnight along with hot dogs with cheese already inside,,,channel cats love them especially night fishing..
Hi Charlie. When you use shrimp, is there any particular way you present the bait? Do you use head-on shrimp, or will frozen headless shrimp work? I fish in the Big Pee Dee or usually on the upper lake of Santee around Packs Landing. Thanks.
@@starshooter1003 No Particular way except i only use non cooked shrimp,,i normally buy the nasty grown in china or taiwan shrimp walmart sells and just keep a few bags on hand,,if they are decent size i will use 1 shrimp for 2 hooks,,i do soak the thawed shrimp in garlic salt overnight in fridge,,i normally put out two rigs,,one with shrimp and one with cut bait and see which gets the most bites,,santee cooper rigs are the best way to go as they keep your bait up off the bottom,,good luck and be safe,,FYI small bream and white perch are like steak to catfish this time of year,,when the blues are running i go to a sandy area around a island and catch a dozen small bream or white bass and use them for bait,,hook them under dorsel fin and hang on,,depending on time of year the bream and white bass will also sometimes produce a striper or largemouth,,especially if you are fishing in deep channel in lake moultrie,cats will bite almost anyhting but i like shrimp bacuase they dont create a mess like cut herring do,,,nightcrawlers is what my friends use around packs and lake marion,
@@charliesmith9528 thank you for the detailed reply! I know another local fisherman uses shrimp at both Santee and Wateree. Wasn’t sure if frozen “Walmart” shrimp would work but you clarified that well. See you in the lakes!
Well I kind of knew your secret ingredient because I also use Kool-Aid but I like to use fresh garlic it's in a jar garlic powder the chicken liver touch of salt but what really get some catfish going put it in your marination dish with a lid set it outside 2 days before you go fishing let it sit in the Sun for 2 days catfish go completely ballistic over it I know I'm a freshwater commercial cat fisherman been doing it for over 30 years love your video
Kool-aid sticks better then jello. I use kinda same recipe Lil tip I do kayro syrup in hot sauce with mix you made IDK why but hot sauce drives them crazy. Kayro just helps hold seasoning longer.
We tried your bait today it was absolutely positively fantastic. The only problem we had is that when my son set the rod down on a 4' rail, it was a 6' rod, As the fish went to hit the bait we didn't have an opportunity to catch the rod as the remaining 5' of the rod flew out over the rail 12' into the water. Don't know how big the fish was but it had to have been pretty darn big. We did however hook up on some 4 and 5 pound catfish in North Carolina
Many years ago we got rained out at work and a couple of us went river fishing below a dam. One of the guys is telling the story of going to kmart the night before. He said he had this new fishing reel and wanted to buy a rod for it but his wife insisted they couldn't afford it. He said he bought it anyway. He had barely told the story when his rod propped up by the tansom shot upward about ten feet and then flew at least fifty feet down river before ever hitting the water. I'm guessing it was a massive alligator gar because there were some well over a hundred pounds swimming around.
What's with the koolaid and oil I've used just plain chicken breast and minced garlic or just plain breast and caught catfish in the 30 and 40 pound range.
Color, sweetness and it pulls out moisture from chicken a bit. I’m planning on doing and updated video that shows how strawberry jello works. It works even better than kool aid.
Why wouldn't you just use a red food coloring, have you tried that and it doesn't work or something? It looks really cool but it just seems like the cherry flavor would throw them off,I want to try it but I just thought is seemed so crazy lol
I have a friend that puts trotlines out and swears by grape koolaid.I would use a lot bigger baits since there are very big catfish in the area I live in.
I will certainly try this bait. Let me give you a tip on another excellent bait. Take chicken breasts like the ones you demonstrated, cut them up exactly the same way, and soak them in anise. Let them soak for a day. I've caught Catfish out of lakes, ponds, and rivers with this bait. It is not messy, doesn't stink (smells like liquorice) and you will get bites when nobody else does!!!
I went catfishing for the first time yesterday downtown Minneapolis a spot most people don't think has any good cats. Caught two bullhead a 2 pound channel and a 10 pound channel all on shrimp I soaked in vanilla extract overnight
Try taking that chicken liver and adding it all into the mix and let it marinade. THEN take the chicken liver out and put it in a food processor or blender and use some of the juices from the chicken breast in the container to add to the liver along with some more garlic and some flour to form a thick paste. Using a small blade knife to make a pocket in each piece of chicken and stuff with the paste mixture. Place hook across pocket to keep paste inside while casting. Paste will leach out as bait sits on lake bottom, attracting the fish as it permeates the area with the smell and taste of the paste.
Instead instead of having to worry about catching fish for bail or buying them. Just make one big batch of this and keep it in the fridge for months. U will have bait to last to catch an immense number of fish.
@@FredExvideo I understand your point. Pre made bait is nice for those who are too lazy to catch fresh bait or maybe thier water system doesn't produce fresh bait always. I'm fortunate that I can walk out my back door, through a cast net 1 time, and have all the fresh bait I need year round.
Your recipe is excellent. It is almost exactly what I use except I add Vanilla extract( make sure it is the kind with alcohol) Thanks for a nice video.
The Kool-Aid Is Good But The Jello Is Way Better!!!!! The Jello Pulls Out The Excess Moisture From The Chicken & Making It A Lot Tougher For The Catfish To Simply Suck It Off The Hook. It Even Works On The Chicken Livers Too!!!! Tougher Baits Equals Better Hook Sets Equals More Fish 🐟
I Thinks only in Indonesia catfish bait are made from chicken, cheese, egg, etc. 😂 You can try fermentation bait from egg and bread crumbs, in tournament fishing pool, catfish are very love that bait 😅 usually I add snake eggs to make them rotten but fragrant
Definitely does. I add minced garlic to the hotdogs let um sit in the sun 10 minutes and add a dab of anchovy procure & 🍇 kool aid. Kills the channels from July to Christmas
Hey brother, that bait is something different the catfish loved it and I caught a couple nice ones. If u have a email send it to me and I will send u pictures. Thks again!!!
In my experience you just can't beat cut/live bait or good old chicken livers. And I rhink chicken livers are underrated in terms of the size catfish you can land off of them. But both baits work better than anything I've ever used and I've used a lot of experimental baits.
That'll be the day I take good food off my plate to feed the turtles! Same with the guys who are throwing shrimp away! I don't care if it does work! I have to work to be able to feed on a few shrimp every now and then myself. I love to eat catfish as much as the next guy. During the week at work j probly eat a hot dog for lunch 2 or 3 times a week. I really love a good steak and I'll probly throw one on the grill every 2 or 3 weeks sometimes with a few shrimp! But using good chicken to catch a fish? And to use shrimp to get a catfish? Makes about as much sense as tits on a bull! Or spending a dollar to make a dime! Using a steak to catch a hot dog? But on second thought I shouldn't be surprised such brilliance coming out of the same great state that was completely bitch slapped by 2 inches of snow with record numbers of halfwits either freezing to death or gassing themselves by running generators in there living rooms!
Hey Roscoe sounds like you need a better job my friend.. sounds like even the welfare train doing better than you are right now but don't worry your next stimulus check is coming soon so you can afford to buy a $5 pack of chicken and try it then. Shouldn't break you to bad. No wonder you never managed to catch the Duke brothers
It depends on where you are fishing if all these gimmick baits work or not. In ohio, this would not work well as we have a very high bait fish population in our waters. Shad, Cut shad or salted cut shad are king here and its not close. This being said, don't knock his bait, it might work very well where he fishes.
@@FredExvideo Yeah, there are areas of the country that home made bait just slays cats, its typically waters that don't hold large amounts of bait fish. I hate watching people slam these type of baits, but simultaneously not fishing where you fish.
@@wheels.and.wrenches This works (well, hot dogs, rather than chicken) in Ohio for me. Not just channels, but 15-20lb flatheads and carp, and even striped bass.
@@wheels.and.wrenches I've managed to catch a few 20+ pound blues and some pretty big channel cats using just plain chicken breast..when you don't have the money for better bait and this is in the freezer its better than nothing.

@@charlestaylor8913 I have and it’s works great. I’ll make a new video to show you. Fish are fish. No matter what body of water. This bait WORKS. PERIOD
I've tried that, didn't have much luck. You can check out "muddy river catfishing" channel. His bait is called chicken liver chum bait. He uses sardine oil and chicken liver, blends it up, and then uses chicharones. I've only tried it once but it didn't work. At Walmart you can buy beef liver for cheap and it has alot of blood.

Hey huge Nirvana fan dude and I'ma try that catfish bait recipe, I looooooove catching catfish and eating em too.
Yeah an awesome band. It’s a good recipe. It’s like catfish candy.
Love the Shirt
We tried your bait today it was absolutely positively fantastic. The only problem we had is that when my son set the rod down on a 4' rail, it was a 6' rod, As the fish went to hit the bait we didn't have an opportunity to catch the rod as the remaining 5' of the rod flew out over the rail 12' into the water. Don't know how big the fish was but it had to have been pretty darn big. We did however hook up on some 4 and 5 pound catfish in North Carolina
That’s awesome. So glad to hear it worked! Sounds like those fish wanted that bait!
Many years ago we got rained out at work and a couple of us went river fishing below a dam. One of the guys is telling the story of going to kmart the night before. He said he had this new fishing reel and wanted to buy a rod for it but his wife insisted they couldn't afford it. He said he bought it anyway. He had barely told the story when his rod propped up by the tansom shot upward about ten feet and then flew at least fifty feet down river before ever hitting the water. I'm guessing it was a massive alligator gar because there were some well over a hundred pounds swimming around.
I would like to know where you are fishing?
North Texas
@@FredExvideo Lake Texoma?
I just use the chicken, Garlic powder, Anise, and olive oil, and cherry kool-aid
Did you catch any on that recipe?
Hey you from Long beach
Do you keep it out of the fridge or in
You can yes. I like to keep some in the freezer so it lasts for a long time.
What's with the koolaid and oil I've used just plain chicken breast and minced garlic or just plain breast and caught catfish in the 30 and 40 pound range.
Color, sweetness and it pulls out moisture from chicken a bit. I’m planning on doing and updated video that shows how strawberry jello works. It works even better than kool aid.
I do this but I add cayenne pepper as well.
Why wouldn't you just use a red food coloring, have you tried that and it doesn't work or something? It looks really cool but it just seems like the cherry flavor would throw them off,I want to try it but I just thought is seemed so crazy lol
Nothings better than live bluegill or cut bait.
I have a friend that puts trotlines out and swears by grape koolaid.I would use a lot bigger baits since there are very big catfish in the area I live in.
You might try parmesan cheese powder with this. It is hard to get off your hand or mouth when you use too much on pizza and fish do like cheese.
i love it
Very nice, buddy! 🎣🐟
I will certainly try this bait. Let me give you a tip on another excellent bait. Take chicken breasts like the ones you demonstrated, cut them up exactly the same way, and soak them in anise. Let them soak for a day.
I've caught Catfish out of lakes, ponds, and rivers with this bait. It is not messy, doesn't stink (smells like liquorice) and you will get bites when nobody else does!!!
I went catfishing for the first time yesterday downtown Minneapolis a spot most people don't think has any good cats. Caught two bullhead a 2 pound channel and a 10 pound channel all on shrimp I soaked in vanilla extract overnight
Should have used this recipe. You would have caught 20+ lb cats
Try taking that chicken liver and adding it all into the mix and let it marinade. THEN take the chicken liver out and put it in a food processor or blender and use some of the juices from the chicken breast in the container to add to the liver along with some more garlic and some flour to form a thick paste. Using a small blade knife to make a pocket in each piece of chicken and stuff with the paste mixture. Place hook across pocket to keep paste inside while casting. Paste will leach out as bait sits on lake bottom, attracting the fish as it permeates the area with the smell and taste of the paste.
This dude must be cool,he got beer taps in da kitchen! Howdy from Mineral Wells,Texas.
It’s a Texas thang!!
Good for him
So much work for catching catfish. I have never had a problem with fresh cut bait...
Instead instead of having to worry about catching fish for bail or buying them. Just make one big batch of this and keep it in the fridge for months. U will have bait to last to catch an immense number of fish.
@@FredExvideo I understand your point. Pre made bait is nice for those who are too lazy to catch fresh bait or maybe thier water system doesn't produce fresh bait always. I'm fortunate that I can walk out my back door, through a cast net 1 time, and have all the fresh bait I need year round.
@@Skank_Hunt42 to each his own. I live in Fort Worth. The city part. So it’s a little tougher for me as I’d rather just make my bait.
it doesn't hurt to try, good job 2T up .
Ok did you put water in
What is the purpose of rinsing off the chicken breasts?
There really is not a purpose. Just a habit type thing
whoo weee! 🐱🐟🎣🎣
My Guy, i want proof that your recipe works for catching catfish. Plz do a follow up video.
Peep out the comments thread I dropped a video of it working on my catfishing channel
Catfish are color blind but the recipe is still good
This recipe is awesome the cats killed it! Got my pb.
See comments like this!! This what it’s all about!! Love it! Gps you liked the recipe and it worked for you. 🔥🙏🏼
And fry up the livers!😋
Your recipe is excellent. It is almost exactly what I use except I add Vanilla extract( make sure it is the kind with alcohol) Thanks for a nice video.
Gonna mix up some of this and try it this week. Also going to try hotdogs.
Do a comparison. I’d like to know how you do on both baits!!
The Kool-Aid Is Good But The Jello Is Way Better!!!!! The Jello Pulls Out The Excess Moisture From The Chicken & Making It A Lot Tougher For The Catfish To Simply Suck It Off The Hook. It Even Works On The Chicken Livers Too!!!! Tougher Baits Equals Better Hook Sets Equals More Fish 🐟
I just dry jello powder right?
Also berry cherry koolaid makes deeper bloody red color and works well at local Cincitucky lakes
I Thinks only in Indonesia catfish bait are made from chicken, cheese, egg, etc. 😂
You can try fermentation bait from egg and bread crumbs, in tournament fishing pool, catfish are very love that bait 😅 usually I add snake eggs to make them rotten but fragrant
Thanks for sharing Enjoyed
Catfish can't resist sardines. I make dough balls with sardines and honey. The stinkier the better.
I’m gonna have to try
I been using grape cool aid and cut hotdogs for years works great!
Definitely does. I add minced garlic to the hotdogs let um sit in the sun 10 minutes and add a dab of anchovy procure & 🍇 kool aid. Kills the channels from July to Christmas
Chicken chicken chicken, is that what catfish are pickin?
Ya down here in Texes u said not in Kentucky can't get noting
Do you think a hotdog would work instead of chicken.
Hot dog will definitely work. The process is a a bit different. You have to leave in the fridge with hot dogs for a little extra time
@@FredExvideo also how long is the shelf life on the bait
@@agkdds3278 I kept mine the fridge for like months on end. The stinkier and more rotten the better. The catfish love that.
Thanks for your video 👍
Great video, thanks for the bait recipes. I just don't understand youtubbers feel they have to have background music at least his was that loud.
Just found this video & I’m going out tomorrow catfishing will let u know how it goes. And by the I subscribe to your channel Thks for the tip
Thank you so much! You won’t be disappointed. It’s a great bait!!
I will let u know how it works out for me tomorrow brother. And Thks again!!!
Hey brother, that bait is something different the catfish loved it and I caught a couple nice ones. If u have a email send it to me and I will send u pictures. Thks again!!!
@@WAVY718 yes!! That’s what I love to hear! Yes send them to danktypebeat@gmail.com
In my experience you just can't beat cut/live bait or good old chicken livers. And I rhink chicken livers are underrated in terms of the size catfish you can land off of them. But both baits work better than anything I've ever used and I've used a lot of experimental baits.
I agree
That'll be the day I take good food off my plate to feed the turtles! Same with the guys who are throwing shrimp away! I don't care if it does work! I have to work to be able to feed on a few shrimp every now and then myself. I love to eat catfish as much as the next guy. During the week at work j probly eat a hot dog for lunch 2 or 3 times a week. I really love a good steak and I'll probly throw one on the grill every 2 or 3 weeks sometimes with a few shrimp! But using good chicken to catch a fish? And to use shrimp to get a catfish? Makes about as much sense as tits on a bull! Or spending a dollar to make a dime! Using a steak to catch a hot dog? But on second thought I shouldn't be surprised such brilliance coming out of the same great state that was completely bitch slapped by 2 inches of snow with record numbers of halfwits either freezing to death or gassing themselves by running generators in there living rooms!
I really can’t even be at this comment because the amount of time and effort you put into it. U sir are like to Gordon Ramsay of fishing.
@@FredExvideo ouch! I think I might have to punch myself right in the mouth!🤡
Hey Roscoe sounds like you need a better job my friend.. sounds like even the welfare train doing better than you are right now but don't worry your next stimulus check is coming soon so you can afford to buy a $5 pack of chicken and try it then. Shouldn't break you to bad.
No wonder you never managed to catch the Duke brothers
@@jakesworld37 never was trying to catch the duke brothers if I was I'd already woulda cuffed em and stuffed em
More like Karen P. Coltrane
I have had good luck with just koolaid but I like your method I will give it a shot
Great video but it didn't work here in south central Oklahoma.
Gourmet fish bait.. nice
Wonder if this also works for European Catfishes.
I will try it the catfish down below my house are finicky they like sandwich ham and bologna.
I chop hit dogs and use Hawaiian Punch Berry Blue (my best luck). I've caught channel cats and rainbow trout on it
Can catfish see red in the dark?
Flavored with the liver is a good idea thank you
What flavor koolaid?
I have a bait that works great on catfish good video
It depends on where you are fishing if all these gimmick baits work or not. In ohio, this would not work well as we have a very high bait fish population in our waters. Shad, Cut shad or salted cut shad are king here and its not close. This being said, don't knock his bait, it might work very well where he fishes.
Thank you wombatmuffler. That was nice of you.
@@FredExvideo Yeah, there are areas of the country that home made bait just slays cats, its typically waters that don't hold large amounts of bait fish. I hate watching people slam these type of baits, but simultaneously not fishing where you fish.
They don't work at all in Ohio.
@@wheels.and.wrenches This works (well, hot dogs, rather than chicken) in Ohio for me. Not just channels, but 15-20lb flatheads and carp, and even striped bass.
@@wheels.and.wrenches I've managed to catch a few 20+ pound blues and some pretty big channel cats using just plain chicken breast..when you don't have the money for better bait and this is in the freezer its better than nothing. I also live in ohio but down in the youngstown area so im fishing berlin lake mosquito lake and if nothing else mill creek parks 2 small lakes lol
hey brother just made this but with chicken feet, will be testing it out tonight or tomorrow night sometime!
I use this when we take the boat out.. always catch fish
Try my specialty!!! Chicken Liver, Pancake Syrup, and Vanilla Extract.
I knew this video was old when I saw that price!😂😂
Bro yes dude hahahaha. Imma have to make a updated version with a part with me catching a fish with it
Ok. It looks good but we want to see you use it. Show us.
Here you go my man. This is my fishing channel. This video I caught like 8 fish with this bait. th-cam.com/video/Gnmnm5W50JU/w-d-xo.html
Ok. You caught fish but they were babies from a stocked pond. Go to a river or lake and see how it works.
@@charlestaylor8913 I have and it’s works great. I’ll make a new video to show you. Fish are fish. No matter what body of water. This bait WORKS. PERIOD
@FredEx Hey man don't get me wrong. What you are working with looks pretty good but I want to see it works on a natural lake or river. GOOD LUCK.
Catfish dont rely on sight....
Irish spring work well ASD
How about a cut up succer,or a cut up slime rocket,or I mean a rainbow trout.
Really Like this video my friend 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍,,,greetings from indonesia
What happens if you use a Blender for all the chicken livery the Recipe
I've tried that, didn't have much luck. You can check out "muddy river catfishing" channel. His bait is called chicken liver chum bait. He uses sardine oil and chicken liver, blends it up, and then uses chicharones. I've only tried it once but it didn't work. At Walmart you can buy beef liver for cheap and it has alot of blood.
I can't wait to use it
amazing
This bait WORKS!!! Caught plenty of catfish today
