Thank you very much
I really like that cutting board , you know you don't see many 10 year olds that can guess a fishes weight with in 2 lbs while its still in the water . And he's a good camera man , really good camera man . Most adults have problems holding the camera that smooth . I might need too borrow him haha

It’s always hard to leave when the fish are biting lol.
Beautiful country! One of my best fishing buddies moved to Tennessee last year the river photos he sends me are great.
Love it that you got the kid helping out! Congratulations on the KZhead channel!

Killer videos love the father son team tight lines brotha
Spencer from river citified made a good quote. If you're catching eater channel cats its likely a monster flathead probably isn't there cuz they will munch
Enjoyed the video. Thank you.
Love fishing videos. Channel Cats are my favorite eating
Great camera work Landon!
For sure keep up the good work bud.
as always , great video brother. you have a little stronger will than me, if I'm catching fish that steady, I might have took a sick day the next day and fished all night!!lol keep em coming brother, you are my favorite youtube fisherman by far.
I definitely thought about a sick day lol. Thank you for the kind words. That means a lot. Thanks for watching and good luck fishing👍
Great looking blue cat.
That was a good day fishing. We don't have blue catfish around phoenix, I wish we did !!
Living the dream bro!!! Nice!!

Buddy another great video. Need more Landon fish tho, keep teaching us tricks to putting fish in the boat.
I sure enjoy your videos.
Hagen get ya some off road crocs, I swear you'll love em! Cabelas n Bass Pro put em on sale alot for bout $20 n they have a thicker sole with great traction. Check em out, you won't be disappointed. Keep up the great work like you always do buddy and God bless you and your family.
@Tsunauticus III I've been wearing them for 8 years now daily with no problems. My job requires that we shower out to remove any possible contaminants so they're convenient for that.
Man I love that boat!
Great video.
Great Video Buddy! I wish the Fox River had structure under the water. Other then a VERY small amount of rocks and very small amount of timber on the sides it's a desert. Happy Fishing!
Enjoyed the video and subscribed. TK all the way
Great video!
Thank you
Awesome video, just subscribed to your channel,, thanks for sharing🎣🎣
I am so glad to see you teaching your son catch and release... Alot of people keep everything they catch. Dont ever keep more than your share. Yes, there are alot of fish out there. Are there alot of quality fish compared to the 1800's. No. I just subscribed to your videos. Im all for a man keeping fish, and Im also for the catfish, or any fish. Great job. I enjoyed the video.
By the way your camera man does a good job for any age 😉 great video sir!
Good video man first time I've seen your channel I'll be checking it out again I love catfishing and like seeing kids out their learning and fishing towe don't have any really good catfishing close by me but I'm blessed that I have the lower James River about 3 hour drive away so I fish it pretty often and we catch some really nice blue cats in there and you can catch small-to-medium channels until your arms fall off but we mostly target bigger blues and we catch a few striper when they're running
Thank you
Great video bud
Enjoyed it...👍👍
Nice tips!
I know everyone loves shad but where I live live bluegill/sunfish/brim/perch whatever you want to call'em works better for flatheads and they're a tough little fish too
Well daddy 😂 he wanted that fight great video!
Its always hard to give the reel up 😄 awesome video sir
Dam dude I think your my southern doppelganger.
I had to google what the meaning of the word was😂thanks for watching
Dig that cutting board
Catfish Dave sent me here. Liked and subscribed.
Always good to see you fishing with your son. Hope to catch you out on the Kentucky sometime this summer.
THANKS
That 40lb big game high vis can't be beat.. 👍
I’ve had great luck with it. Never had a reason to change. Thank you for watching
The things about fishing is One more cast You never want to leave
I love it
that was some beautiful scenery on the river love it and its great to see your son involved in cats with you love it get r done great video
T6
Is that a shatter cat rod I see break through the clip bought two before the B@m silver cat rods. Haven't hooked up anything big curious what you thought there stiff
Great video, I wonder how many people have fish finders?
Not bad Looking Rods. Its nice ,you dont have to spend alot of Money on Rods Reels, and get the job done. I Love name brand Reels, but Diawa, And Garcia, refuse to offer a left hand crank Reel, Except " OKUMA" as one example. We just use Big 6000 series KastKing Sharkey3 Bait Feeder Reels, And Wisker Seeker Rods. Good Quality for Money. We just use Mono all Around. Berkley big game ," SUCKS" on Spinning Reels, but just fine on Open face Reels. I use Orange Co Polymer Wisker Seeker Line. Either way , you have a System that works for you just fine. Heat Shrink is great especially, keep handles new or dinged up ones protected. Great Video Thanks.
Great video bro. I definitely want one of those cutting boards. Do you have a lot of luck near the locks?
I haven’t fished around them to much but normally gar make it impossible to keep baits in the water from my experience. It’s a great place to catch shad anytime of the year. Thank you for watching.
Looks like a great trip ! God Bless you all !
hey bud! great video. been waiting to come across someone from kentucky! i am from mt. sterling but live in frenchburg now. you ever fish cave run??
Thank you, I have never fished cave run, thank you for watching
I really enjoy your videos. Do you two ever fish KY Dam ?
Good day on the River! Like you said, "It's hard to leave 'em when they're biting" Awesome Video!
Awesome video👍.What camera do you use?
What's the year, make and model of your boat? I'm looking for a new boat and like your design.
Hey man I live in waddy ky and I fish the ky river and taylorsville every chance I can I would love to go fishing with you sometime man
I started the boat ramp you are at about a year ago. How far up the river is the damn. I have been up past that waterfall and the fancy campground on the right hand side going up river.
I am just after a few eater size channels and do good for me in that section.
How do you get that garmin to look so clear on the down imaging? My water column always has a lot more fuzz or clutter in it.
I have everything in auto for the most part. Sounds like you could have some interference coming from another unit or something. Thank you for watching
never really targeted catfish here in my home state of Ky but I know there are plenty of good opportunity's to catch lots of good cat's here. I'm close to cave run and the three forks of the Ky River in eastern Ky and some beautiful stretches of the KY river around the Irvine Richmond area so as i'm gettin older now and the bank in the bend of a river or a old log in a reservoir seems to call my name a little more, So love your channel and it's always great to see a Dad taking his kid fishing great memories for you and him , good clean channel. God Bless.
What kind of poles do you use? I call them barrel rods but i don’t know any good ones or anything I use spinning reels (for saltwater) but I want to do some more catfishing but I want those type of rods you use. (The barrels) let me know please!
I use tangling with catfish (Twc) rods. Thank you for watching.
On those multiple hook leaders, have you hooked a really big fish on one of those? Wonder how strong they are. Like the idea of more bait.
If the knot is tied right they are very strong. The technique that Chris souders teaches is great. I’ve caught some 30s and 40lb fish on them. I’m confident that if a monster bit on one it would hold him. Thank you for watching.
Hell yeah
I’m going to come go fishing with you lol
Cool
Good stuff brother! Never count out them small rivers!
What’s those blue rods with the metal reel seats?? Appreciate it.
Tangling with catfish extreme series. Out of all the rods I have owned they are by far my favorite. Light as a feather, soft tip and a ton of backbone. Thanks for watching👍
Will you do a video of the rods and reels you use?
Here ya go, thanks for watching 👍 kzhead.info/sun/fMWpkpx9bqFrfY0/bejne.html
What kinda of reels do you use
Do you experience with different Cast Nets. I bought one 3 years ago and it was garbage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I like the betts super pro and the fitech super spreaders. The larger the mesh the more durable they are. Of course the mesh size greatly depends on the size bait you are looking for. I strictly use 1” mesh. Thanks for watching.
What's a go rig for rocks
How come y'all don't have big fish and another thing y'all most not have blues with no blues y'all's flats should be huge love your channel
There are big fish in the Kentucky river but this pool of the river has always been tough fishing. I talked to a local biologist about it and They said the forage base was as low as they had ever seen in this part of the river and the river was so channelized that during floods most of the fry gets washed downstream. Thank you for watching👍
@@hagengrubbsfishing love your videos brother do y'all have blues ?? You ever fish the Mississippi river
What part of the river are you on? I live close to the ky river. Up towards Winchester ky
Pool 6 near Salvisa. Thank you for watching 👍
only 3 rods can be used at a time here. per person actively fishing. ya can't put out six with 2 people and then 1 person handle them all or cast them
R u going to add a live scope to that garmin?
Not planning on it. That’s a lot of money lol. would be awesome for catching bait though. Thanks for watching👍
Why is the drift sock out .does it stabilize the back of boat ?
Yes, it keeps the anchor rope tight in light current and helps keep the boat from swaying as bad in windy conditions. Thank you for watching
Dave sent me
I watched a jon boat redecking video of yours guessing you did a full boat upgrade
I still have the jon boat. It Needs some carb work but I will continue to fish the smaller rivers in it. I got this boat mainly to fish the bigger bodies of water. Thanks for watching.
@@hagengrubbsfishing i just re did my 18ft jon boat. It had original plywood, carpet for like 77. I went ahead and bought all diamond plate aluminum. It turned out nice.
back watching this again lmao, and I now have a 2021 crestliner 1870fcc tunnel hull with a 80 hp jet
You get more bites on cut bate or live Bate
