Hello, I’m Ben Lamkins and thanks for watching Angler’s Itch outdoors. On my channel you will find videos filled with tips and info on how to catch catfish as well as the baits I use.
If you’re a beginner and want to catch more and bigger catfish on your next fishing trip or you just like watching catfish getting pulled into the boat, you came to the right place.
I also like fishing for other species and you will see a few adventures fishing for things like paddlefish, striped bass, hybrid striped bass etc… I will also have “less talk more fishing” videos for when you just want to watch some fishing.

That is one amazing fish!
Thank you💪🏼
What was the complete setup on that pb monster fish? can’t seem to find, “Anglersich” fishing rods
Those were just rods we were sampling. We haven’t launched yet but are getting close. You can find us on Facebook for updates. You can also find the owner Ben Lamkins on Facebook for updates.
Super nice build! That’s a great job
Thank you!
@@anglersitch you are welcome!
Thanks for the tips!
You’re welcome!
How long will that last in the freezer
I’m sure if it’s sealed good it will last a year or so but with catfish preferring the freshest baits possible, I would recommend using it asap for best results.
Bagnell fish there all the time
It’s a cool place!
How often do you change the filter material?
I try not to. I don’t want to loose the beneficial bacteria that grows on it. I’m over two months now and havnt touched it.
Awesome
It sure was!
❤😮 beautiful fish 😊 wow awesome thanks ❤
Thanks for watching!
Excellent! My favorite lake to fish for striper and you are correct about them being the best fighting fish.
They love peeling that drag! Thanks for watching!
@@anglersitch heck yeah! Got you subbed now. Looking forward to watching more.
Subbed you back! Thank you!
@@anglersitch much appreciated !
Great video, thanks
You’re welcome!
How do you like to keep your water cool during mid summer? I throw frozen milk jugs of water in mine, wondering if there isnt an easier solution
That’s pretty much what I do for now. There are guys that rig up an old chest freezer and have the water run through it to be cooled. I might do that some day.
I was down there a month ago fishing that same spot. Lou at Hummingbird Hideaway is great. He's full of info. We caught a ton of whites, stripers, hybrids, walleye, and largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass. It was a blast.
That’s the same place we stayed at. Lou is awesome! Sad that he’s selling it. Won’t be the same without him. I learned a lot from him
@@anglersitch yeah that's a shame. I learned a lot from him too. I didn't know people use jigging spoons as top water, but apparently that is a thing. He showed us how he does it and sure enough it was working. Never even heard of using them that way before.
Can you take me? Do you guide? I LOVE to catfish, and so does my 11 yr old son.
Sorry I don’t guide. I don’t have my captain’s license but maybe some day🙂🎣
I'm not far from Rend Lake! Great day with the girls, nothing better!
They are a handful sometimes😁 but they love to fish!
What a great day of fishing, thanks for taking me along!
Glad you enjoyed it!
awesome!!!! i need those baits as well!! great way of catching baits.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice build! I built one almost the same. My bio filter is a plastic 55 gal drum. My tank is outside. I have 7 sunfish in there to get the bio going in the filter. In one week tank turned PEA SOUP GREEN. I now put a roof over tank to block the sunlight, thinking that may help. Any thoughts on my build?? I want to keep gizzards in there.
Yeah the sun will turn it green like that. The roof should help. Also spray paint the outside of the tank black. You can also add a UV clarifier to get rid of the green water. You’re gonna want to keep that water as cool as possible for shad.
New subscriber. New to catfishing. We fish the same waters. (Missouri/Mississippi). I’ve had a little bit of success on the top side of Alton. Bait is hit or miss but between harbor and the old lock I tend to find a little bait for the day. The Missouri however is brutal. Never any bait and never hooked into a fish outside of Gar. But determined to keep trying
Thanks for joining! Yes, finding bait on the Missouri is tough. I started getting bait at other locations and keeping them in my tank. I struggled catching fish in the Missouri for a bit but once I figured it out, it’s been some of the best fishing Iv ever experienced. I just stayed determined like you are doing.
I have a question do u sell them
No I don’t. I would need a license for that.
Great video, I'm guessing all to be used for catfishing?
For the most part. I also like to use smaller ones for stripers as well
Do you keep them long enough that you have to feed them?
Iv kept them for over a month and don’t freed them. They get skinny.
Very good video. Thank you for the information. God bless 🙏
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! God bless!
Bagnell dam is so much fun to fish when they pumping water out like they have the last couple weeks. I use a dip net that concrete tears up my cast net bad.
Yes it is. Dip net is the way to go if you can. I need to get a better one for it. My dip net isn’t the best.
The only reason they didn't use beavers to build the dam was because they couldn't find hardhats small enough to fit their little heads.....🦫🫤🤷♂️🤦♂️
😑😐
How many fish are in your big tank?? (tote) I just got a tote. I made a trash can bio filter. Mine is outside. I put 7 small sunfish in there and 2 doz eels. I think the eels are somehow escaping. I found a few in the grass. I want to go get some gizzards now. Good video!
I have around 70 shad in mine but they are 12-17”. I’d have no problem keeping around 200 smaller ones. Gotta be careful adding other fish in with shad. Bluegill don’t do well with the salt and they will peck the eyes out of the shad and kill them. Thanks for watching!
@@anglersitch Have you ever kept eels?
I havnt tried eels yet.
Great explanation. 👍
Thank you sir!
Great video!
Thank you!🎣
Im ready..just waiting on the rain to shut off for a minute..nice job
Thank you! and yeah, the rain has been non stop lately.
Damn !!!!!
That’s what I’m say’n! 😎
Nice work man damn 😅
Why thank you😁
ATTABOY 😉
💪🏼
Nice day on the water! Great fish. When them big ones open up their mouths in the current it makes it alot more challenging. Great video
It sure was! Thanks for watching!
I’ve caught a lot of giant catfish. A lot. I’m never jealous of the cats other guys catch. But nets of bait like that? They just piss me off to no end. Super red eyed monster lol. Sad thing is before you know it they're gone and your throwing the net again.
I hear ya!
Let’s go Benny!! Love the video. Sharing it with my die hard fishing friends and family.
Much appreciated Dave! Thanks for watching!
DUDE! What a day!! Nice new PB!
Indeed it was! Thank you!

Thank you! These are the days we work so hard for!

Thank you!
That looked like a fun day. Congrats on the big fish. I appreciate all the Monster rod holder /HydroWeb net love your show on your rig. Looking forward to your next show. Nicely done sir.
Wow! It’s an honor to hear from the man himself! I love my net and rod holders. Very well made and get the job done. Thanks for watching!
No way Steve Douglas commented I've commented before I'm around the jb bridge to festus on the Mississippi there's some monsters in their
@@danpierce8759 Crazy isn’t it! And yes, we have some great trophy fish waters here in St. Louis area.
@@anglersitch yeah I caught one last fall I couldn't even pick up my scale went to 99 but I couldn't hold it long enough to get a good weight it's tail was on the ground and the scale was saying 75 I would like to make some videos I put one on there stlriverfishing a 31 the only time I've been fishing this year
Your title video LURED me in 😂
It eventually got there😁
And I see what you did there😉
Congrats on new big fish..awesome day
Thank you!
Hell yeah!!!!! Way to go !!!!💯
Thank you!
What a day! Congratulations on the new PB
Yes it was! Thank you!
Stellar day! Nice fish. Thanks for the video.
Indeed it was! Thanks for watching!
And the video was very well done. I fish for blues too, and it’s hard enough by yourself without filming. I struggle with just taking a simple photo of a catch. lol. Plus the Missouri River is a harsh environment especially with high water and debris flow. It’s not for the faint of heart for sure. But it’s an adventure and exhilarating.
100%. It’s very tough adding the filming to the mix for sure. I’m glad when it all finally comes together.
Way to go kiddo!!!!!! 😃😃😃😃
She had a blast!
you have any river spot location recommendations for people stuck bank fishing?
If you’re local to me, downtown St. Louis on the Mississippi has some good fishing. Try to find any public access along the Missouri River or Mississippi River in the St. Louis county area. There are lots of them. Should be able to google them.
