 Welcome all back to the channel, fishing freaks. Being an LFD out in the boat. I thought we were going to do a cat fishing with the jub lines. What I was thinking is we could do some drifting. Because you've got all these fancy rod holders on this boat. Yeah. It's set up. We need some bait to start off, I guess. So where on this lake? You haven't been on this lake in years. This is where? Years. Oh, I see busters. Oh, yeah, they're busts. Oh, yeah. They were. Prepare the cast net. Yes, sir. Give her an angle. All right, let it sink all the way down there. It's 11 foot. Negative, OK? Fish on. Bait, baby. All right, guys, I'm trying out my Hopper dropper rig for Colorado. This is pretty cool, because it's got a grass hopper on the front. And on the back, I've got a little light nymph. Got him. There we go. Top brought my own cutting board, dad. Look at this. We got a bait net in here to get our fish. All right, nothing like a fresh gill. Get this party started. And we are going to drift some live. I've never done this in my life. Not sure what I'm doing, but I think it might work. A lot of squigglies on the electronics. Oh, yeah. 32 foot, that's perfect. So we're going to rig up a dropper rig here. Put a piece of fresh cut bait on. Drop it like it's hot. Got a 3 quarter ounce weight on here. I might do a heavier one on the next rod. Send it down to the bottom, reel it up a couple cranks, and let it drift. Stick that in the rod holder. I'm going to rig you up a fresh one. Already got blood in the boat. First blood spilled. And our hope is that we're going to run into a big old blue catfish that is out here. So I'm doing a dropper loop. This is a lot like, remember snapper fishing when we used to go on the chargers? This is the rig. And you can do them double, or you can do them single. I'm doing these single right now. Stick one of these two ounce weights on the bottom, where we need to be. Grab a circle hook. We're going to palomar it. Full barrel swivel, the clinch knot. All right, so just drop her down. It's a circle hook, so there it goes. It's getting hit. Let him eat. Let him eat. Got our first strike. We're in the zone, boys. Yeah, that was on. No, it was on the bottom. We slowed down for a second. I think we got a fish on here, Dad. Oh, it came off. Definitely had a fish on. Man, my bait was a catty wampus on the hook. I'll leave that thing up. Thumped. I got one on. Got one. Blue cat. Oh, yeah, baby. Oh, he twisted me up, too. Little guy, but great eater. All right, hey, Dad. First catfish. First catfish in the new boat. Oh, this one's on, too. Oh, he came off. Getting in him. This one's got one. This one's got a fish. This is the one with no guide. The end of the net. Here, we hit a waypoint. Little guy, we can handle him. Inner twice. We got him. We got him. Giant. Two catfish have been captured, y'all. And this is my first time ever drifting lines for cats. We saw a guy catch a monster a minute ago. And I mean, he's 100 yards from us. So we're out here on a pretty deep spot in the lake. We're fishing about 40 feet of water. We're drifting these lines. And this is kind of off of a big main lake point. There were white bass schooling up here. And I think that a lot of these blue catfish, they like to kind of hang around the white bass and eat those dying or injured shad. And so they're more active. So we've got our lines up probably five to 10 feet off the bottom. And we're just drifting. It's like a five to 10 mile an hour wind. And we're kind of going along this topo line that's out here where it drops from like 30 to 40 feet. So it could be something big that latches on. But hey, two in the box right now. First time doing it. Bluegill for a cut bait. Not bad. What do you think about this experience? Have you ever done anything like this before? When I was a kid, I used to sit on the bank of a pond. And we would fish for catfish with corn or chicken livers. No, I've never done anything like this. This is more like red snapper fishing. Yeah. And your boat is just set up for it. So I really like these rod holders that dad has. I think they're called Bee Ready. And they're just really nice for grabbing and getting out really quickly. So for crappie fishing, I would see these being huge advantage. But you can also just put multiple rods in them. Do the meat. Do the meat hall. Do the meat hall. Catfish, crappies, brim. Red fish. You ought to be having gumbo every week, man. That's right. Oh, oh my gosh, dad. God, you know, we better invest in a net because you got no net in here. If we keep catching monsters like that, what are we going to do? I know. What are we going to do? I don't even think he's hooked. I think he just wrapped himself. I think we'll throw him back. So came up here a little shallower. Tons of shad still left on the big point. But that's a little blue cat. All blue cats, though, by the way, that's good. Blue cats are fantastic eaters. You know, we're new for a big one. We are new. Here. That one's got something? Yeah. Get it, dad. Get it. It's big. Get him. Watch out. I'm trying to get that other rod for you. It's big. You got something on? We got something big. Are you sure? You sure it's not the bottom? I think it's the bottom. Crazy, because it was dropping off. That one must have been dragging. Thought we had Sally. How about fell in? Going dangling with LFD. All right, dad is picking out the dam as a spot. So I do not disagree with that. I think the dam holds fish year round. But deep summer, summertime fish, and cold, deep wintertime fish, they do love dams. Give her a rip there, boss. Let's go to the dam. 39 foot of water, some contour. I see some fish. Let's go. All right, boys, fresh bait going on. Dropping her down. You met Kevin Van Damme? I do. He caught a 13 pound bass the day before on this dam. I remember. Slow rolling of spinnerbaits, what do you say? No. It was a green finesse worm. A green finesse worm. Yeah, he had green pumping finesse worm. He called me. Remember? Oh, that's right. He called you. I carried him to get some ice. That's right. Dad, go. That was no tinkerbell right there. That rod just boom, got smoked. Oh, it's getting hit again. Here goes, here goes, here goes. It's happening. I think he's on there. He's on there. He's not. We get tapped down there. Oh, yeah, he's hitting it. Oh, yeah, we might be on now. I just don't feel anything though. I know I'm not, dad. This thing is jyrating like Cardi B out here. You know who Cardi B is? I do not. Good, good for you. All right, I'm checking this pole. Let's see if we've got anything on here. There's a fish on here. There's been a fish on here. Little buddy has been just dangling on there. Can't feel him because he's so small. That other one might have one on there too. Little blue cats down in the deeps. Don't hook that bad boy. Thank you, sir. T's too little. You successfully navigated to a spot with fish. Contour, foot of water. You read it. I didn't do anything. You can be a god. You can be a catfish guy. Maybe so. Speaking of Cardi B, here comes the lake boarders coming out of Lake Lewisville at 1 o'clock Saturday. Huh? Getting hit? Sorry, I was mesmerized by whatever that is that was there. You getting bit? You getting bit over there? You getting nibbled? Oh, there you go now. Hey now. Hey, we got him now. You got him now, now. Woo, baby. Rack of the catfish turds coming in. Coming in. Woo. This meter. Hey, Roy. I'm going to give you a good tip for that one. I'm going to give you a good tip. I need a good tip. I'll get you a couple of extra co-pops. Got him. You're going to have to clean these for me, aren't you? Yes, sir. Ain't you going to clean these for me? For a good tip? Sure. I got something for what it is. Are you hooked up? Oh my gosh, this one got. Oh, holy crap. He done took it out of the rod. Oh my gosh, this is a good one, Dad. Oh, here we go. Oh my gosh, he's got the bad rod, too. Say good, you got a little one on? All right, oh, this one come off. No, I didn't want to put much pressure on him. Guys, the guide is missing. Oh, that was a good one. The last guide is unfortunately missing from LFT's kayak adventures. I didn't want to hammer him too hard. He done, he hammered it. It felt heavy. That's what we after, boys. We'll lock that sucker down. Biggest bite of the day, I missed him. I'm scared with the equipment. I'm taking off the tip for that. Got some big marks down there. Oh, we got another one on, Dad. We got another one. All right. LFT chargers went on, baby. Trying to get that other one rigged. This one loaded up. Oh, he's a little guy. He ain't going to do it. He ain't going to make a cut today. It was nice enough to give us a gyration, though, and not take our bait. Yep, you're getting bit. You're getting bit over there. Hot action. How the hell did you do this? You took a rigged rod, ready to go, and you backlashed it without casting it. That's amazing. It's talent. That is talent. You've got to be talented to do this. You should be recruited to Guggen with that kind of talent. So that's kind of stuff only a Guggen can do. You're a senior Guggen? Is that what you're saying? Senior Guggen, yeah, there you go. I'll be honoring you, Captain. We'll call them the Graybush Guggens. There you go. That's a whole deal. That's a whole set. The Graybush Guggens. LFT's the captain. All right, I got it out. I'm on big boy. We've got three lines in the water right now. And we got a muscle on here, Guggen muscle. This one's my favorite. I hope the big one hits this one because I've got like 20 pound line on there. 20 pound. I'll pop it. I'll pop it pretty good. But you know he's not going to do that. He's going to hit. Actually, that one's good, too. I like the chances there, 30 pound braid. Just going down to the bottom, two cranks up, snapper fishing. We're basically snapper fishing with dropper lines out here. Two and a half ounce weights. Probably don't need to go that heavy right now because we're not drifting. But when we're drifting, just to kind of keep that line down there is really nice. I would say somewhere between two and three on a two mile an hour drift. Never done this before. Learning. Got bamboozled. Well, we only got enough for two baits here. We should probably check the bait every once in a while. Cleaned. It wasn't in the spot. Me and Dad were chit-chatting for probably 10 minutes. And we were like, man, we haven't got a bite. And we just realized we reeled in all three lines. None of them had bait. So check your bait early and often. Wash your poles. We're back in. We're at the, oh, we're getting bit. We're getting bit now. Look at that. That's how it happens, man. You put fresh bait, you're going to get bit. There's a lot of small blue cats down here, but we're on the last of our bluegill right now. So this is probably it. Come on, big Sally. Oh, oh, yeah. You got him? Just got hammered. I mean, fresh bait within seconds. You got him. Here we go, Dad. Yeah, buddy. It's amazing if you put bait on the hooks. He's a little better. He's a little better. He's a little bit mighty. He's a border liner. He's a little better. You know, we got so many right now. We'll probably toss him back. I'm just wanting Sally. He ain't the head. That's what he wanted. Sure did. Healthy, beautiful fish. Beautiful blue cat. They got a pretty healthy population of small blue cats in here. All right, Dad, you're from South Georgia. Right? You know, there's a little different way of life down there, a little different terminology on things. Give me some of the names for catfish growing up. What did you know catfish as? Well, we had what we called speckled cats. They were dark gray on top. They had gray freckles, all of them. We call them speckled cats. And then we had what we call butter cats. They were a creamy color with a kind of a round head. And then we had channel cats, flatheads. Butter cat. A butter cat. Wow. Yeah. That sounds like a candy bar. Well, if you saw it, you'd understand. It's kind of a creamy, honey color, you know? That sounds delicious. And they're friendly. They are? They're friendly, yeah. They don't have a sharp of spines on them, so. Not as aggressive. Yeah, they don't stick you as much. It's just like a juicy butter cup. They call them butter cats. I don't know, guys, the things you learn from your dads, you know? Not on there? Don't feel it. Come on, cabin. That's disappointing. Come on, cabin. Yeah. That's disappointing. You're getting a bit right now. That's a bite. Is it not? Yeah. It's just a tiny. It's just a small one. It's a tiny. Oh my gosh. Come on, cabin, put us on the bigs. Not a single channel cat. I think we're fishing too deep to get channels today. Back into the deeps. Let's drift back a second. His grandpa's got to be around here somewhere. We're on, boys. We're on. Big hit. Big hit. Oh, he ate the fish bite. He ate the fish bite. Bring him over here, sir. Here, I'll take that one. Just watch that one. This one is not very big. Probably a good eater, but I like my blue cat some little juicier than that. This is what's really nice about your boat is it's set on a course right now. We're trolling like into the wind. So you don't need to just drift. You can set a control drift yourself. And you don't have your foot on the Trollemotor pedal. Oh, oh, got bit on the fish bite. I think this is a better one. Yep. Oh, wait a second. No, I think he went after mine. That's a keeper, though. We'll land him like a bass. He's lassoed. Me and Dad dual caught him. He's out. We just got a tangle. Yes, sir. All righty, folks. We have got ourselves not a live well full, but a good bounty for the day. Blue cat in the well. Great success. And this is something I've never done before. I wanted to come try it. And guess what? We were successful. So I think we gave Dad a little confidence, too, to come out here and get a little kitty run. You got yourself a little kitty run set up. We're going to have to get some bigger poles, kind of re-rig for some bigger fish. But this is a good trial run. Dad's boat is set up for it. So I think anyone can do this, no matter what kind of boat you have. I want to come try this in the crispy collector sometime, too. I just need to get a graph so I can kind of see what's going on. But I hope you guys enjoyed watching today's video. Don't forget to subscribe for more outdoor action right here. Smash that like button. I'll see you on the next adventure.
