Fishing With Shrimp For BIG Catfish!

It's a perfect summer day to head down to the river with the kayak, relax, and soak some bait! On this trip I'm fishing for catfish and brought along a bag of shrimp to use as bait as well as one cut goldeye left over from a previous trip, just in case the fish are really biting!

Gear used on this trip:

Net: Ozark Trail brand from Walmart

I just got my 7 year old daughter into fishing, and she’s obsessed- it’s the first thing I’ve found that she really likes as a hobby- and I caught her watching your videos on YouTube- so now I’m a subscriber lol

That Walmart shrimp works wonders. Been fishing with it for a couple years. Those summertime catfish love it!

I caught my first channel cat yesterday (in MN on my Tarpon 120), and had no idea how to handle it. Then I remembered your video from a month or two ago in which you showed the location of the spikes and to watch out for them. So thanks for that!

Shrimp are an amazing bait, amazing for catfish and bowfin. Even caught pike on em

Just used shrimp for the first time this morning, caught lots of catfish! Can't wait to get back out there.

Fun fact: Fish, and especially cichlids, in muddier water tend to take on a paler coloration. Fish in clear water will get the more vivid coloration you are used to. I deal with it a lot in the South. That’s also why very pale lures work best in muddy conditions.

What a great way to spend a day on a beautiful stretch of river. Something about watching a rod tip or float. I could do it all day.

I Love to fish all the fresh water species! I can’t go fishing for 6 weeks due to some surgery. Watching your video today made me feel like I was on the river with you. Great content and knowledge about fishing. Keep up the great content. Amazed you can stay so calm with a big fish on the line! Thanks!

A beautiful sunny day in that mighty river. It was good luck catching two big cat fish on such a small bait as shrimp avoiding the small fish nibbling at it. I remember my desperation using anchovy as bait for channel catfish: just as it hit the bottom my rod tip would start moving only to catch one small specimen after another.
A most entertaining video with exciting fights by those three marvellous monsters.

Your voice is so soothing, I love how you don’t add music ❤

That thumbnail brought back memories. My parents couldn’t freeze shrimp without me using it for bait!! 😂😂

Chanel catfish fishing is on my bucket list for a while now and after watching your video I'm definitely going to do it shortly. I always enjoy watching your videos it's just so relaxing and there is something magical about the way you spend your time in your kayak fishing and telling us what you do in the same time. It's a skill you absolutely master and thank you for sharing it with us. Cheers from Canada.

I go out to the red River every year and last year I caught one 25 pounder and 5 minutes after that I caught a 32 pounder! Great fishing 🎣 👍
