I think a lot of fishermen have learned not to hold bass that way without supporting their back end but way too many have not. Glad to see you mention it.
Hopefully more people are doing it right than I'm aware of
@@wildlifefishingshow yeah it's sad that people are unknowingly hurting their big fish
Not only that but sometimes in unhooking process people do unknowing damage trying to use the bottom jaw and leverage I've seen it happened too many times. I make it a point to secure my fish and if I can use barbless hooks but that's just personal preference
Man I love your content! I can’t stand to watch most fishing KZheadrs because of the way they handle the fish, etc but you’re awesome! You have good morals and you’re so kind to these fish 👍🏼 refreshing to see
I'm not as good as some guys but I try to handle them properly
Love seeing you haul in monster alligator gar and such but this is a nice change of pace. Multi-species days are always a ton of fun! Good stuff man🫡
I'm so glad this video is doing so well because I really, really want to do more of this
All the fight patterns of a carp..👍😁🤘
Unmistakable
A comprehensive episode of all the various sunfish species in the Houston area would be pretty cool
Would be interesting
a fisherman that actually cares about the fishes health, subscribed at the speed of light 👍
Your effort in the quality of your content is clear. Excellent work.
🙏
I appreciate your love of nature and the wild life itself , something I can sympathize with for sure
Thanks
Love the content!! Me and my father love fishing and we wach your content ALL the time!
I love to hear that
Man this was an amazing video! Nice change from the usual stuff!
Thanks, it was fun
You are in depth on your sessions I love the way you explain the way to handle fish can't wait for you to fish Louisiana or Mississippi for Aligator Gar keep up the good work.
Hopefully I'll get to fish in Louisiana soon
Thanks for another awesome video
Appreciated
I sure would like to see more videos like this one more often. I love your videos catching hide catfish and gars
I'm going to do this more for sure
What a good spot for a variety of fish. I've been using pretty much only bread for bayou fishing and it works but I might have to try the worms and scented stuff on top of that. I would love to see you catch a 20+ pound carp in the city, that would be crazy. Also would love to see well put together reels of current videos that encourage people to watch full videos. Amazing video as always can't wait for the next!
I do want to catch some big carp in the city. Might have to go to Austin for that.
Yoooooo so happy to see ya back in the city 😮
Thanks for the link
No problem
Let's go. Love the bass fishing Payton. Bring more 🎣👊
I do enjoy catching bass more than I ever thought I would
@@wildlifefishingshow I love to watch bass fishing cause that's all I do is bass fish 🎣
Love seeing urban fishing !
Just gone done with another day of urban fishing, video coming soon
Love your videos bro keep it going 💪
Many thanks
OH NICE!! The way you get about gar is how I get about catfish and I LOVE urban fishing 🎣
Catfish rock
What a great spot, great video👍👊
Thanks, I had a lot of fun filming it
Great urban fishing video
I appreciate it
I like the way you handle the fish before the release
Thanks, I'm trying to get even better about it
Wish I had such a cool place to fish like that where I’m at! Awesome vid!💪
Where are you at?
Look at the beautiful fish, my friend ❤
Very beautiful
Not only a great Saturday morning with another wildlife video but also UFC tonight!! Should be a great heavyweight contest
I got Blades
@@wildlifefishingshow Povolich is a monster! I hope Blades uses his grappling but man that Russian power is wild
Thanks for the information on holding bass by the jaw. Never knew. Would love to see you go catch some Northern Snakehead in the DC MD VA region
I learned that myself from watching Brooksy. I would love to get on some Northern snakehead.
The fish are eating good in the city, great video..................
Yes they are! Glad you liked the video
Nice variety of fish species, 😃😃
Thanks
Good morning WILD LIFE family! Cool "Max Holloway" headband Payton!
The best is BLESSED!
Wish my town had small spots like this! They are a blast to fish
Absolutely
Awesome vid, this in sweet water?!
WILDLIFE! What's going on man! 2 nice bass a big carp and a super nice Channel cat! Another great episode man I loved it man! Keep on getting down!
I appreciate it, it was a good day of fishing
Awesome vid once again! Love the carp setup. Do you hook the worm then wrap with bread?
I usually go through a cube of bread then put the worm on the end but either way would work for these city carp
This man is awesome he always catches monster fish he is for sure a amazing fisherman
Thank you
Would love to see more of these types of locations!
It's fun and easy to film so I'm gonna try more
I agree with Hugo. As a new angler, I am a bank fisher by necessity. Quick question, would you add to my education? What was the info on keeping the carp off the ground?
@@FrankD518 to protect the fish and avoid damaging it's coating - only matters if you plan to release it
@@Hugo-TX Thanks for the info. I figured as much after watching the c&r process for trout. I'm learning. My biggest issue is catching and not fishing.
@@FrankD518 if you're not picky about what to catch, start with something simple like worms which will appeal to many species. Use a (relatively) smaller hook and you should be able to catch things like bluegill and catfish fairly easily.
Hey mate for a video Idea would love to see you use Live bait especially for Gar, Catfish seeing the hit if you put a balloon on or float on would be wicked hopefully.
Would be fun
You deserve so many more subs.
I appreciate it
Hi, pls come to The Woodlands. Tons of lakes in urban setting.
Love to
Mantab sekali dari spot yang bagus untuk castingan strike hasilnya lumayan
It's a lot of fun
Love your videos
I appreciate it
Can't wait for our season to open up here!
Not gonna lie, I wish we had seasons here for certain species, would be better for the fish
@WILD LIFE really? I can't imagine seasons being open all year with no limit or size slots. Seems reckless like barreling down the road knowing there's a wall and you have no breaks. Love the channel dude
@@munkeyknuckle7502 yeah, there are very limited seasonal restrictions of only a few species in the gulf (snapper and grouper) and the occasional, seasonal length restriction on flounder, but that's it. Not a recipe for long term success, imo. I appreciate the support.
I fish ditches in Houston. Caught nice 2.5lb bass on 1/4oz Mepps inline spinner
One of the best lures ever made
Currently watching on 2 devices lol!
When I was a kid, fishing, every possible minute I could, in Florida, I used to fish the golf course I lived on and canals around it for soooo many species, many, like bluegills, were routinely trophy sized, but, my single best catch and memory was a probably no more than 10 pound Tarpon that hit my greenback and took my pole into the canal. I jumped in, and yes, gators were a thing, and grabbed my line at the float, as it was going back and forth on top or the water, grabbed the tarpon, threw it on the bank above the seawall, and climbed up to the applause of the 4 golfers who were on the green next to where I was and watched the whole thing, I got my pole back, and , took one scale from my first tarpon and released it.
Sounds awesome
Nice pink line
It stands out
Slow mo release, 💯
I love doing that
Hello and good day to you, great video l always enjoy watching them. Am curious as to why you did not want the Carp on the grass ?
They're a pretty heavy fish without a lot of structural support for that weight out of water.
@WILD LIFE thank you that really makes sence. When I was a kid we used to catch them. Always had fun landing them. Whats the largest one you have caught?
@@brucebeardsley643 the biggest common I've caught was about 15lb, so respectable but not huge
@@wildlifefishingshowThat is a good size one
Invasive species would be cool. Theres so many of them it would be nice to see what they look like in the moment :)
Honestly, that's quite a lot of the fish I currently catch
Beautiful fish though
Fishing in spots like this is always fun. There can be incredible variety and some fairly large fish in places most people wouldn't even consider fishing. It's also fun to have some local 'pro' standing near you laughing at how 'dumb' you are for fishing there when your rod bends over and you haul up a hog. Then their eyes are out on stalks. Kudos to whoever maintains that lawn. Those cyprus knees would be a pain to mow around.
The funniest thing in the world is setting the hook two seconds after hearing "there's no fish in there, bro!"
You need to do more bay fishing in Galveston
I don't think I do any bay fishing in Galveston
Awesome!
Thanks
People never fish trout anymore so underrated you should target some lake trout
OMG a verry nice place to relax and fish ! why there is nobody else fishing over there ??? I didnt see anny one fishing .... Common carp are great verry great sportfish ! its verry populair in europe . And in europ we have big carps because we never kill them and give them lots of food to grow;... For the size common carp are real fighters.
Love the vids man keep up the good work. No hate but why don’t you whant it to get on the ground
It's just not good for them. All fish are designed to have their weight supported by water, and while some fish are fine when momentarily placed on the ground, others don't take it as well.
Have you ever came down here To Anahuac theres some big gar out here
I haven't yet
@@wildlifefishingshow if you ever want to come its only an hour away
Tried to contribute to your baldness but they won't ship to Canada. You're definitely one of the more fun channels.
I appreciate the effort and support, sorry to hear they don't ship to Canada. That's disappointing.
Just by the way the fish took the line, I knew it was a carp. Nice!
💯
What type of hook is that that has a little spinner?
Do a Carp tutorial! Hook size, rods set up, how to spot them
Maybe, it's been a while since I've been going after carp on the regular
That carp looked like it had a run-in with a gar.. nice catfish! Was that a channel or a blue?
Quite possibly
I just caught a 30 inch carp the other day and it was my first carp and I caught it on minnows for some reason. I was just wondering , is there a really good bait for carp?
That's pretty interesting. Generally speaking, corn and bread are among the best baits for carp.
@@wildlifefishingshow alright thanks
Do you do any charter fishing or consulting? Me and my son have a place booked in Trinity Texas and we are looking to go after alligator gar. We are driving from Green Bay Wisconsin. First full week in June. Thanks
No, but my friend Alex Sosa is a fantastic, professional guide for alligator gar. Buffalo Bayou Fishing Champs on Instagram.
@@wildlifefishingshow I just looked him up and he is completely booked this year according to his website. I would be happy to pay you a consulting fee if you could point us to a couple of spots along the river.
Do the carp have more of a protective slime on them than most other fish? I've always wondered why people used mats only for the carp...?
It's hard to say for sure, as I'm only going off personal experience with no studies to refer to, but I think so. They are also just particularly heavy for their length and tend not to be as durable as catfish or bass.
The canal must be managed well,those fish are exceptionally healthy,looks like a great place to take kids,I'm in TN,which state is this in?
This is in Texas
Theres a similar drainage area near me. Now i have to fish it lol
I bet it's good 👍
Also wildlife, do you think my phone will get washed away in Clear Creek since the storm yesterday or will it just sit at the bottom and not get washed?
Honestly not sure
How much affect you think the fish slam juice has on the fish
I think it can have an effect on fish that are curious but hesitant to bite.
It's probably mentioned here and I'm sorry if I ask the same thing. Why didn't you want to put the carp on the ground?
It's just not healthy for them. Some fish can handle it better than others, and carp don't handle it well.
VERY nice channel cat
Thanks
Send me some lures.🎉 Whats the set up called? And the lure gel called. Location please of that fishing spot.
Links are in the description
can you maybe go to Malaysia and catch some giant snakehead? They are very strong fish and aggresive
Would love to
@@wildlifefishingshow GREAT :D
That was a well stocked "ditch", huh? Bit too murky though, glad you didn't fall in. By the way, I like all your vids, but I did like the massive fish out of the sea that you did some time agp - so yeah, I'd like to see more of that, thanks!
It's usually not that murky but it rained the day before I filmed this.
@@wildlifefishingshow Got it, thanks!
STOP MAKING ME WANT TO GO FISHING SO MUCH OMG
Life is short, call in sick, I won't tell anyone...
What r the top 5 best baits for alligator gar I’m just starting to get into it btw no common carp or smallmouth buffalo in my area so top 5 other than those
If buffalo and carp are off the table, I'd say mullet and tilapia are tops. Shad, really big ones, are decent. After that, sunfish. Can't think of a fifth.
@@wildlifefishingshow ok cool thank u so much
@@wildlifefishingshow well I landed one first alligator gar I remember fighting I’ve caught some before just too long ago to remember. She ended up being 41 inches my pb
@@MysteryOutdoors that's awesome
السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته بالتوفيق دائما ان شاء الله ❤❤❤❤❤
Where do you get the hooks? I need some.
Fishing Tackle Unlimited or Academy or Bass Pro, they all have them.
Have you ever fished at or near as r the Denison dam?
I haven't but I want to
@@wildlifefishingshow I was born in Denison, but we moved away while I was little. Never even knew there was a dam there.🤔
@@robertmceuen3630 supposedly really good striper fishing
You ever fish author storey park in Houston
I have. A couple of my early videos were done there.
What's behind the not letting him touch the grass technique
Some fish can take that better than others and carp are pretty low on the list. It's just not good for them.
Saya suka saja melihat cara mancing nya yang cukup baik dan ikan nya pun langsung di rilis kembali 👍
Thanks for watching
@@wildlifefishingshow 👍
Hey im new to bass fishing do you have any tips
I'm not great at it, to be honest. I'd watch some stuff from guys who are primarily bass fishermen. Sorry, I'm not much of a help.
@@wildlifefishingshow it's all good
Hey are you willing to do a collaboration with me
There's a lake down the street were I live it has some big channel cats and huge carp
Have you ever caught anyone's former gold fish that had been released into those water areas?
Not me
Was the spot around the 1:10 mark the colorado? If so I could show you some tricks there
No it's in Texas, going back soon
@@wildlifefishingshow yea the colorado river in bay city.
@BrianSDeleza OH, gotcha, yeah that's exactly it Sorry, thought you meant the state
@@wildlifefishingshow been fishing that spot for about 15 years. There are some monsters hiding down there
@BrianSDeleza have any luck with flathead in that area?
I live near a body of water that’s about a mile long and it’s loaded with shad,gar,bass,crappie,bluegill, drum,and carp but I cannot catch a single gar what am I doing wrong lol
Not sure, what are you doing?
@@wildlifefishingshow throwing nice size shad or carp on a not too big hook but it seems like they are very picky
Are you primarily in Texas?
Yes
Tell me youve been criticised by UK Carp anglers,without telling me youve been criticised by UK Carp anglers😂 Great catch of a great looking fish,that Carp, mate. Interesting genetics.👍
For my betterment, at least
I got intro baited with the big bass talk following by the drag stripping footage. Only for reality to break the carp news to me. 😂😂😂
Well, I caught four different species and I don't think I advertised it as a bass video. I think I said "everything is in here" or something like that
Why can’t you put Carp on the ground? I have
It's not good for them
OMG THIS IS WHERE I FISH IF ITS IN SUGARLAND
🤷♂️
What kinda underspin was that u were using?
It was a jig head from BKK, I can't remember the exact model
@WILD LIFE want some.. looks good with that sixth sense swimmer
@@henrykosky3919 I'm not using 6th Sense gear, I'm using Salt Strong
@@wildlifefishingshow OOOO WHAT WAS THAT PADDLE TAIL?
@@henrykosky3919 links in the description
Is this in Sugarland?
Mebe...
How deep is that area?
Depending on the section you're in, four feet to six inches
13:33 That's how you hold a largemouth. It throws off his COB and temporarily paralysis the fish so you can get the hook out without him jumping around and you wind up getting the hook in your finger. I don't see how it's horrible treatment to an animal most people catch to eat in the first place. I have never had a Bass I released back into the water all of a sudden float up to the surface dead because I held him by his bottom lip. You actually put two fingers under both cavities under his mouth to support him. I can think of other predatory procedures far worse than that when it comes to nature. If it bothers you and hurts your feels that much, maybe you shouldn't be fishing in the first place.
Little man, your personal, limited, untested, unverified experience is not a basis for scientific discussion, but nice try. I'm not at all interested in how many things you think are worse. I'm stating the simple fact that it's a poor and outdated practice. You can be as offended as you want, but I base my decisions on science, not your personal triggers.
Where was that at ?
Texas
The link to slam shady free lures dont work
I just checked, they worked for me
Your efforts are to be commended. Don't eat them though! I used to fool around in the Bayou until the turtles almost got my dog.
Definitely not, I bet they have all kinds of chemicals in their system
I went fishing for 2 days in a row I only caught 2 tilapia even though there is big snakeheads 😢
Happens to the best of us
Ponds
