@jbvap Very true, even though the fish were handled with care, it's always best to avoid the gill area. Thanks for your concern. Have a great fishing season in 2010!
Those are some tanks! Where I am from we're lucky to get one 10lb in a month of fishing. I was wondering if you guys have gizzard shad there? I know Lake Erie is just loaded with them. They're my favorite cut bait for channels and flatheads. :)
@Andycathunter9999 glad you enjoyed the video and yes, we do have gizzard shad in our area - they would make a great bait - Until next time, good luck and good fishing.
i have a question, have you ever been anywhere near Ohio or West Virginia? I ask this because I know Canada is quite near Lake Erie. I just wanted to ask if you have ever fished in the Ohio River?
@boiprof You're handling the fish correctly. When more care is taken when hanlding a fish, the fish has an excellent chance of avoiding injury or disease. Thanks for writing & good fishing!
@shortysaywat1234 Sorry to hear that you you did not enjoy our video. Thanks for taking time to write to us and giving us your feedback and we hope you have many great days on the water in 2012.
im 12 years old i like to fish for catfish and perch im just wondering can you put your hand in there gill my friend told me you will get cut if you put your hand in there can you??
@SkySpike789 In catfish, it's harder to put your finger in the gill opening - if you did, you won't get cut.
You won't get cut if your finger were in the gill area of a perch either. The gill cover of a perch has sharp pointy area which is located at the bend of the gill cover - this may cut your finger. If you put your finger in the gills of a pike, chances are you would get cut as the gill rakers are very sharp. Thanks for writing & good fishing!
@srbijajenakosmetu Carp & sucker will work as cut-bait (check your local regulations to legaly use). Fillet the entire sucker - leave the skin & scales on. Cut into 1" x 2" pieces. Impale hook through the skin. Prepare carp in the same manner but remove the scales. Thanks & good luck!
@OldSchool29E Glad you enjoyed the video and chicken livers do work well also, but cut sunfish will work fantastic for you in Georgia! AS for different seasons, the tips would be the same, but the location of the catfish would be different as they seek to go to deeper water in the fall/winter. Thanks for tuning in and good luckk on the water!
@MrPorkGuy Try to tighten up on your drag a bit and never let your line go slack - always keep it tight - along with this, make sure you start with a good hard hook set, and you should be able to land more fish!
@MrPorkGuy ehhhh i use the clinch knot since im lazy lol. uhhhh damn theres alot of baits. id use hotdogs, chicken liver, worms, corn works sometimes. you can make your own catfish soap or order it. its proven to catch cats. its called redneck catfish soap.
@MrPorkGuy oh ya theres also where u can use breadballs. you can use them regularly for like carp and some small cats. but you supposed to dip them or something for added attractiveness. i dont use them so i wouldnt know too much
@bigfri5 Ivo had one of his Quantum rod & reels, which Tony was using Shimano and Antonio had an ugly stik. All are good quality. If you get a chance, we have some great rod & reel tips for you on our Thundermist Fishing Tips web site. If you get a chance, be sure to check them out.

ohhhh i just rember this funny time when i was realing in this fish and my hook grabed on to a line that had must came off of another fishing pole and it had a gicantic fish on it
those are some of the biggest channels ive ever seen. im trying to get a bigger pb channel before the year is out im using a Carolina rig and all sorts of baits any advice? and also what hooks were you using circles? or octopus?
okay i used stinkbait on one rod today, then bought some frozen mackeral and after i thawed it out i used it as bait on my other rod, and caught nothing... would i be better off using fresh cut bluegill or chicken liver or something?
@w816449 we like to shop at our local bait & tackle stores, but when ordering on line, we typically order form Cabela's or Bass Pro Shops - they have a great selection and reasonable pricing.
@gizmotwadlebutt Shad is also a great bait to use - live shad will work excellent and stay fresh longer, although fresh cut bait would give off more scent. I guess either way, you can not go wrong.
Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!
@thundermistlures Thanks for the info a month or so back. Since that time I have caught several large bluecats. I have been using cut asian carp about the size of my hand. There easy caught in the little potholes left in the fields by river floods. Check out my profile photo to see my 40 inch blue catfish. Again thanks.
@gizmotwadlebutt Glad to hear you are catching some blue cats and sounds like you're on to something with the cut carp bait - just checked out your site (very nice)....never seen the movie a river runs through it, but it looks like it would be a good one.
Thanks for writing back and hope you have many more great days on the water!
@thundermistlures Oh you have to watch "A river runs through it". As an angler who used to fish with his dad and brother that has lost both. I know the ending scene all too well for I to "fish the big waters alone". Great movie as well as "The old man and the sea".
Keep having tight lines and leave a couple for me.
@MrPokemonfan231 Depending on what is permissable to use in your area, cut bait can be sucker,chubs, sunfish, large shiners, fresh mackerel or sardine to name a few. Thanks!
@thundermistlures. Hello. Nice video! Thanks so much. Do you know where I can get live worms? I'm gonna go fishing for my FIRST time ever and I'm really excited. They usually sell them at the bait stores right?
hey, nice size fish!! In August I will be fishing in delaware in the delaware river with my dad for a catfish tournament. Any ideas for bait we can use in that kind of water? No luck with bunker, but we had more luck with chicken liver. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
@GRANDFLASH107 Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for tuning in. Channel cats really like sunfish/bluegills. They also like suckers and smelts.

hey i got some litte and yellow belly catfish in my pond do you know how i can catch them and get them out of there so i stop catch little ones and just big ones
@highvoltage5056 Being at camp, you may not have the possibility of using sure-fire baits. But you will most likely have hot dogs. Catfish will take pieces of hot dogs. If you are able to catch large chubs, they are good bait as well.
@thundermistlures I was going to get some dough bait, is there any particular way that I should fish that, depending on the region/time of day/season?
@highvoltage5056 Dough bait will work for you. Still-fish with it resting on bottom. A treble hook will help to hold the bait. Cloudy days or evenings are best. The bait should be good for all seasons except in cold winter conditions as catfish seldom feed. Thanks for your inquiry!
Can somebody please help me out, i am new to fishing and i would like to know how to cast far, does the rock weight, reel or rod size make a difference, someone please help me i want to cast far when im at the lake
@Augustburnsred999 youre prolly casting from shore so i'd start out with the rod all the way behind you, body facing left or right of the target cast area, the tip should be leveling downward with weight/lure almost touching the ground behind you. Then whip it 180deg from the right or left (depending on your orientation). Your rod should end up pointing to the sky, 45degrees. You want to find the best release point by practicing (that depends on your weight n rod flex). Search "surf fishing"
@thecoolguy771 We've never caught them so can't give you the best answer. like most catfish, they should take worms, cut-bait, dough ball, shrimp and clams. Thanks & good fishing!
@Marriland1000000 We'd love to but we can not....you need special licensing, insurance and most important - time. WE are so busy in many areas right now, but perhaps some day we will get into fishing trips.
Thanks again for thinking of us and we hope you have a great year on the water and send our best regards to your grandpa
Hey look there Antonio looks like a good one eh Tony. How about that Tony i caught a ohhhhh Tony looky there well Tony I sure do like this one. Bigger then yours Tony and Tony show them the ummm Tony the.....Tony well i dont know Tony.
@MrPorkGuy Basically they will eat fish cut-bait. Any fresh fish will do. The key is fresh fish. Try fillets instead of chunks. Leave the skin & the scales on. Experiment with different fish baits. You can also try a lrge ball of worms if you wish. Thanks & good luck!
@MrPorkGuy Yes, shrimp will work, but not as good as fresh cut bait. If you are going to use shrimp, be sure to at least use the fresh/frozen shrimp (not the precooked shrimp) - this will work much better.
I'm fishing in the Rio Grande in New Mexico, but not catching bigger fish. There are coves under the bridge in the shade, but mostly baby cats. I need help.
lol catfish tricks? secrets? all you have to do is put a chunk of chicken liver on your hook and throw it in until you get a hit, nothing to it really. the catfish are attracted to smelly slimy things theyll basically eat anything
@holmecircle It's true - catfish have a large selection of food choices. But in our experience, we have found that they preferred the freshest bait. They can be picky eaters at times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & good fishing!
Thanks. Another question. Do you need very strong fishing rods for about 20 pounders catfish? Or you can catch them with not very expensive rods. What I mean is do I have to buy expensive rods in order to catch not the biggest fishes? Beforehand thanks for your answer in future. You catch very nice fishes? Good fishing! :)
@ttpetiyyy We were using large hooks, size 5/0. If you use worms as bait, it is a generic bait and will catch you all kinds of different fish. In this case, you may want to scale down to a size 1/0 hook or size 1 hook, depending on the fish in the area.
@playbass97 Any medium-heavy action rods will do. The sinker weight depends on the current. The stronger the current, the more weight you'll need. Basically, the idea is to let the bait hold and not get swept away. Thanks for your inquiry & good luck!

thecoolguy771 8 months ago
@thecoolguy771 We've never caught them so can't give you the best answer. like most catfish, they should take worms, cut-bait, dough ball, shrimp and clams. Thanks & good fishing!

@thundermistlures so would you guys take us?
Marriland1000000 8 months ago
@Marriland1000000 We'd love to but we can not....you need special licensing, insurance and most important - time. WE are so busy in many areas right now, but perhaps some day we will get into fishing trips.
Thanks again for thinking of us and we hope you have a great year on the water and send our best regards to your grandpa

wat cut bait would u recommend using for catching wels catfish?
MrPorkGuy 8 months ago
@MrPorkGuy Basically they will eat fish cut-bait. Any fresh fish will do. The key is fresh fish. Try fillets instead of chunks. Leave the skin & the scales on. Experiment with different fish baits. You can also try a lrge ball of worms if you wish. Thanks & good luck!

@thundermistlures thx im fishing in a lake and i heard tht shrimp works reli well... is tht true im just wonderin?
MrPorkGuy 8 months ago
@MrPorkGuy Yes, shrimp will work, but not as good as fresh cut bait. If you are going to use shrimp, be sure to at least use the fresh/frozen shrimp (not the precooked shrimp) - this will work much better.
Thanks for writing in and good fishing.

What kind of fish were you using for bait? And do you think catfish would bite on some fresh cut trout?
Sonner31 8 months ago
@Sonner31 We used cut sucker pieces. Channels love fish and will surely take the trout. Good fishing!

tuanie1 9 months ago
@tuanie1 If you want to fish deep water or in current, a sinker will be best. In shallow, calm water you can try a float. Thanks & good fishing!

I'm fishing in the Rio Grande in New Mexico, but not catching bigger fish. There are coves under the bridge in the shade, but mostly baby cats. I need help.

@Dodge5410 Try fishing at night using larger baits - that should deter the small ones from taking the bait. Thanks!

lol catfish tricks? secrets? all you have to do is put a chunk of chicken liver on your hook and throw it in until you get a hit, nothing to it really. the catfish are attracted to smelly slimy things theyll basically eat anything
holmecircle 9 months ago
@holmecircle It's true - catfish have a large selection of food choices. But in our experience, we have found that they preferred the freshest bait. They can be picky eaters at times. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & good fishing!

Thanks. Another question. Do you need very strong fishing rods for about 20 pounders catfish? Or you can catch them with not very expensive rods. What I mean is do I have to buy expensive rods in order to catch not the biggest fishes? Beforehand thanks for your answer in future. You catch very nice fishes? Good fishing! :)
ttpetiyyy 9 months ago
@ttpetiyyy $30 - $50 (medium heavy) rods will work fine for you. Thanks for your inquiry & good luck!
thundermistlures 9 months ago
What number is your hook? And if I use a worm as a bait would I catch something even if it isn't a catflish? Just asking.
ttpetiyyy 9 months ago
@ttpetiyyy We were using large hooks, size 5/0. If you use worms as bait, it is a generic bait and will catch you all kinds of different fish. In this case, you may want to scale down to a size 1/0 hook or size 1 hook, depending on the fish in the area.
Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!

How much do you like that berkly catfish powerbait. Just bought a new pack of it to try it out.
BeefCakeVidz 9 months ago
@BeefCakeVidz It should work for you, although we would rather use fresh cut bait. Let us know how you make out.
Thanks for writing in and good luck on the water!
thundermistlures 9 months ago
what rods do you use? and also how many oz. sinker?
playbass97 9 months ago
@playbass97 Any medium-heavy action rods will do. The sinker weight depends on the current. The stronger the current, the more weight you'll need. Basically, the idea is to let the bait hold and not get swept away. Thanks for your inquiry & good luck!
