what about keeping the shad alive

[LearnToCatchCatfish]

@justlorey Doesnt matter for catfish

Is it best to have your sinker on the bottom of the line or about 18ins from the bottom with the hook on the bottom

[LearnToCatchCatfish]

@AlB938 That is the most overused, overhyped and probably least effective rig there is.

I think your wrong the hook needs to be shown more I

I catch a lot of alligator gar using that same myth you use after seeing your videos not to good for catfish...

[LearnToCatchCatfish]

@vmontalvo11 All that needs to be exposed is the hook tip.

I fish for catfish in Big Bear CA. There are thousands of little ones. How do I not get hooked up to the small ones?

@learntocatchcatfish is it okay to freeze the shad? i live near the bay on a river but where i live the water is only 4 feet deep i can just walk there and toss a throw net but i cant get out on the deep water until a off days comes my way. so is it okay to freeze shad?

WHAT, DON'T HAVE YOUR OWN GARAGE FOR YOUR BOAT?? U HAVE TO RENT A STORAGE UNIT!!!

As far as baiting a hook goes there is no real "right" way to do. Though, you should always double hook.

Great video Chad! Been a follower of yours for a good while. If I'm looking to catch BIG catfish, what size shad should I use? Will some similar to the size used in this video suffice?

[jackdonna94]

thanks, I will try this method. What do you think is the strongest most reliable landing net for the bigger blue cats?
