I want to start catching Blue Catfish and the best way to do that is with a line drum, problem is they're $5,000 - $10,000. I decided to make a line drum out of the marina junkyard and I'm going to build it for free! The first version had some issues, but the second version works way better! The real question is, will the homemade junkyard line drum actually catch Blue Catfish?

People can say what the want but 90 percent of people couldn't do what you just did you are a very smart young man great job
He should have heated the sprocket
Luke is quite literally a modern day Da Vinci/Edison. History books will mention the ingenuity of a local crabber turned catfisherman and all of his "junkyard inventions." Its not long before Discovery hits him up with that show
I’d like to see him have his own show as well but as I’ve learned from other tubers, the show try’s to steer away from authenticity and more of a staged show. Wouldn’t want that to happen you know?
Got to meet Luke, his beautiful wife, and his dad this evening. For all of you wondering, yes, they are the most nice, funny, and genuine people out there. It was a pleasure meeting you all! Keep the great content coming!
Did he give you crabs. 😅
You are an old soul, young man. I admire your ingenuity, resourcefulness and especially your drive and attitude. Keep plucking away at it. You have lots to be proud of already.
Pro tip: If you want a piece of metal (gear) to expand, heat it with a torch. If you want to shrink it --- Freeze it. Great content!
#ProTip: 1.2 , @LukeMcFadden, if you want to freeze / shrink something, you can easily get into a freezer? Use dry ice on the part while it's still in place, the shaft, then heat the gear. Voila, it will pop right on.
Btw the way Luke I've said it before and will continue to when it applies. I love your ability to engineer things out of necessity into something you can use. I am same way. I love re-purposing things and saving them from the landfill/scrapyard.
Have Titanium 4 in 1 welder and Titanium Plasma cutter, will create!! Lol. Luke you remind me so much of myself. Why go buy an expensive piece of gear when you can build it yourself out of scrap virtually for FREE! Love the content, keep up the great work!❤❤
🙄
This is an amateur tip
Always remember that water has the opposite effect though 😂
Yeah he definitely did that backwards lol. Game me a laugh though
Great job on the winder. It's good to see young people building from scratch. You'll inspire kids to build and take chances to learn more.
I hope so!
Necessity is the mother of all inventions.
Love your tenacity, I was a pro fisherman for 30 years and anything to eliminate manual labour when you are 12hrs on the ocean stops fatigue.
You are the absolute KING of backyard engineering!
You remind me of my friend Pat so very much. I lost him just over twenty years ago because he couldn't get out of his own head. Always remember that the thinking that gets you to solve problems is the same thinking that can get you through life. If it was easy, anyone could do it. Keep up the good work, kid.
little tip from an old man , heat something if you want it to expand , freeze it if you want it to be smaller ,for example we freeze outer wheel bearing races before installing they almost fall into the axel housing when frozen , to get them out you run a bead of weld on the outer race face and that shrinks it once it cools , keep up the good work love the lateral thinking you adopt , only way to reach your goals
When ya got the tools, technology and a creative mind you can do anything. Congratulations on that build impressive. Love the content you are a Hoot crazy kid. Be safe ✌️
Alright... I'm only 7 1/2 minutes into this video and I'm going to say it now... YOU'RE A FRIGGIN' GENIUS!!! Nice job on that line-managing-cog driven-shopping cart-wheel thingy.
Luke I am raising two boys. I pray that they will work as hard as you do to use resources available and not be wasteful. I don't know where you got your work ethic but you are a joy to watch. May the Lord bless you and your wife.😊
Thank you so much for watching!
I truly appreciate You always working outside the box, even when building a box. Inventiveness, rather than spending money, goes a long way and you've got it down to a flawed, yet beautiful, science. Kudos!
"Did I get over ya?". Lol!!
That is some genuine rigging done by a group of people I can’t name any longer.
Keep up the great work Luke
In my eyes this man is a genius he just builds what ever he wants instead of buying it give props to this guy
Keep that great attitude! The rest is easy brotha! Marvelous how you find everything needed, with NO Depot or Lowe’s trips!
Love it all...the sketchy fabrication, the testing and thought going into it all. Its a hoot watching you.
Those blues are there in January believe me. Get a good fish finder if you don't already have one. Here anyway they'll stack up chasing shad. Find the bait fish find the blues. Best to you.
Outstanding mate, Love your work.
What impresses me is your thinking.
Never stop having a go...
luke just randomly drills holes in his boat lmao love it
You're very crafty at building things. Necessity is the mother of invention
Awesome video Luke. The stuff you come up with is unreal which is what keeps me watching. Keep the awesome content!!
I don't think I have ever enjoyed a video more than this one!! Exactly how I go about figuring things out using trash parts!
Omg you remind me of my grandpa so much. His junk pile was legendary, and had so many contraptions built from random bits. Built a lino scraper from a chunk of hockey stick and a wood planer blade. We still use it!
Contraption looks good! There is literally nothing that could go wrong!! Have a great weekend!
Great video Luke!! I really enjoy watching your creative building skills!
Have you considered using a ceramic tile cutter for your line leveler mounted above the chain oval?
Retain the vertical pin on the chain.
Replace the tile cutter holder with a piece of 2 inch square rectangular steel tubing or round.
Cut a slot on the bottom slightly longer than your chain pin travel to slip fit the chain vertical pin diameter.
Add guide bushings to slip fit the guide bar diameters.
Run your line above the guide bushings.
GET TO WORK - CATCH THOSE BLUE CATS !
Great idea. Glad it worked for you. Looks like that would be a lot of fun. Thank you.
Luke that build was awesome 😎 I love the ingenuity
1/2" or 5/8" copper tubing, wrap it around the muffler exhaust closest to the motor, without creasing. Put a bigger copper tubing to go around your hydraulic lines. 4-5 wraps around that. Seal both ends after filling with antifreeze. This will warm up your hydraulic fluid so it won't freeze or be sluggish. Or get a 12volt oil drum heater placed in hydraulic oil and run. From a West Coast fisherman to an East Coast fisherman. Let me know if it works for you.
The mind is an incredible thing! You, my friend, have a knack for visualizing and creating! Keep up the awesome work 😁
That was impressive. A+ on backyard ingenuity and engineering. Got to love when that random piece of junk that has bean laying around for 10 years finally gets used.
Yo Luke, you truly are a mechanical engineer! I'm 65 and we call all you do, jack of all trades,is a
Master of none. But oftentimes better than a master of one, you are a prime example of it. And your sense of humor is a big part of who you are.
You're an inspiration mate.
Love ya work, keep it up 💪👍
thats crazy that it actually worked good, you just need to make it go faster and boom, easy money!
Was binging through some of your other videos and reloaded your channel page, looks like i was just on time lol. Also, just wanna say, absolutely love seeing your creative process
Great build. You have a fantastic understanding of the tools that you got, how they work and how to make them do the things that you need them to with limited resources. Anyone can solve a problem with time and money but it takes actual talent to do what you do. And with fishing sometimes you just strike out. You'll get them next time
Thank you! I think I’ll get them in a month or so!
the rust progression cracks me up. Every time you went back to the boat, it just seemed rustier bahaha. Gotta love the salt water
My father was a fisherman on the east coast for many decades....but that the East Coast of Queensland, Australia lol. He also fished the West Coast of Queensland aka the Gulf of Carpenteria as well as the Torres Strait, all.around the north of Papua New Guinea and the Great Barrier Reef all the way down to the Whitsundays.
Your vids give me great memories of the amount of machines he fabricated out of junk and imagination. He used to use 12 volt windscreen wiper motors from old cars constantly, coz they are abundant and cheap or free, run in 12 volts so they're variable speed and reversible as well as having an incredible amount of torque. I'd highly recommend them, that way you don't have to worry about hydraulics or parts if it breaks down out in the middle of nowhere, coz you can always keep a couple of spares laying about and all you need is a 12v power supply and some wire and solder. It's easy to weld on bike cogs and use bike chains too.
I could probably write a SHTF type book about all the things that you can do and power with just 12 volt windscreen wiper motors. (The Merlin was the engine of WW2 ....12v windscreen wiper motors will be the engine of the Apocalypse 😅)
Awesome ingenuity!!!
Awesome video! Great job guys. God bless from Colorado.
Love all your content Luke!
Thanks for watching!
Luke the cats are in deeper water this time of year. Probably in bay too. Im sure you could catch them just gotta do sum research. Spring is best there spawning and hungry. Get some catfish trap hoop nets too. I must say that net,longline reel is a work of art by you!! Good luck in the spring trying it.
You’re such a doer I love that so much about you keep pushing!
Great job Luke. Sty safe and warm.
So glad you are not afraid to fail.
Great video! Keep us updated.
“I’m talking to my …. Real friends” lol thanks for thinking of me as a real friend. 😂
This video was awesome! As an artist I can appreciate the ingenuity of creating this!
See Luke your really an engineer at heart and thought you were a Crabber lol. Thanks for the video bro.
Awsome! Just a thought. Cut a piece of hose the length to go around each of the stainless disks on each side. Split it and fill with silicone push it all the way around the disk on each side let it cure and your set. No, worry of someone falling into or slipping down on the floor in rough weather sliding into the spool by accident while still spinning. Someone could loose a head that way. LOL Just a though and it won't be rough on the line.
Great project!
I really appreciated the project timeline description. I feel that is exactly me. Lol
😂 “…your a genius” quote is SO true Luke!
Man you are so motivating. A just get it done, the rest comes later mindset. I need to go try some stuff.
"This is my Disneyland." You always seem to brighten my day. Keep it up!
Pretty cool build. I really thought you would catch at least one. Silly fish did not have sense enough to get on the line and they could have been famous being the first fish. Looking forward to seeing the catches in Spring.
That’s pretty impressive Luke you did a good job and reel
Love the interaction with your fellow fisherman! just a little ribbing and appreciation!
Luke, My careen has been spent building and maintaining sawmills and other processing facilities. What we do looks a lot like what you do, but without the water. I feel for ya pal. been there done that. Keep at it. Pro tip for you though. Freezing things makes them smaller, heating them makes them larger. to make that sprocket slip on to the hydraulic motor shaft you need to heat it. either that, or freeze the shaft. 👍
Great video. You didn't win this go around,but very good engineering on that spool. Looks like something we would build on the farm down here in south GA. We're always trying to save money. Please keep those videos coming.
I Enjoy seeing what's going on a lil north
you are Maryland's Simone Geirtz! people would pay for a head to head competition for sure USA
I don't fish but you had my subscription with that bit of mechanical beauty.
Absolutely love this. Build and build and build. Eventually it will work so good ya make it for sale to others.
Ver well done Luke
Man, I would love to work on your boat! Love the vids Bro!
Dang cool homemade longlining setup, I wanna try it for halibut and rockfish here in Alaska
Keep it up Luke and you'll find them buddy !!
thanks for the lesson
Oh yeah that's a win! Crabber engineering at it's finest 💪🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Nice job Crab man
Steam Punk Engineering lol. You’re one heck of a go getter Luke 👍🏼🇺🇸
I'm glad you mentioned Pakistani truck because the stuff they do with what they have is amazing
Very clever guy, you will succeed in whatever you do, best of luck for the future in whatever you do.Tony in England.
You need the line leveled driven directly from the line drum the ratio of drum revolutions will be directly accountable to the number of wraps of line around the drun from side to side , so if the drum has 50 wraps and the levelwinder needs 2 revolution of the sprocket to get from one side to the other then the ratio is 25 to 1
Little tip for winter, if your fishing shallow water use cheese sponge the oil of the cheese will leach better in cold water than standard cut bait, if using the cut bait I saw in your video go deep on bottom of drop offs and if you can find bait fish like small shade or menhaden set right threw them with the cut bait, you also need to be running 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile of line with 200 hooks per line to cover more bottom, just my 3 cents of 20years of commercial cat fishing, good luck brother you will get it
Dude, this guy is honestly a genius
I'm glad to see you're still having fun building your toys. Maybe a chafing bar between the chain and the drum for paying out line? Good job 2all 🥶 🐲
Finding it a tough time to make a living selling that same fish on the land too. No one is coming out to buy! Keep at it. Great vid!
You are amazing coming up with the solutions to the problems you amaze me LUKE FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Killer content, Luke!
Love your videos dude. You are one funny guy !
Started with shorts and started watching your channel. Your editing is very underrated. Curious if you learned in school or if your wife does it.
Great job thinking outside the box!👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
God damn you’re clever! I never would have been able to work that out!
Man. Luke. I’m right there with ya on the Pakistani truck channel. It’s amazing how fast those guys can strip a semi truck down to the frame rails , triple up those rails, rivet those rails together , and stick that truck all back together !! Can’t say I like their engine and transmission rebuilds in the dirt. Or the welding of front axles. It whatever.
"I might need an actual hammer." Gets the biggest plyers harbor freight had.
Luke you need to be an instructor at MIT fo sure.
Awesome sauce!
Luke “The Value Engineer’s Value Engineer”… you could teach a master class 🎉
Value engineering (VE) is a systematic analysis of the functions of various components and materials to lower the cost of goods, products and services with a tolerable loss of performance or functionality. Value, as defined, is the ratio of function to cost.
Absolutely genius
I’m feeling the “Can It Catch” Catfish edition 😂 try Frog Legs for your first can it catch catfish edition
Great content not too many people anymore that can figure things out like that on there own and the blue cats bite great year round they just move locations
Ok..
I give you props for fishing in January.
But a Huge HELL YEAH on the reel system
Thanks!
Luke, your Pakistani Truck comment was telling. I watch that channel as well, and yes you are a contender for a Pakistani Truck episode. Great channel... awesome content...Great ideas and spooky fabrication. great.. With respect.. Joe
gotta love it. necessity is the .other of invention!
You are a genius. You intuitively grasp the physics and engineering involved in taming force to create a desired outcome. You're willing to go back to the drawing board as often as needed because you know there's a solution hiding just around the corner. Paraphrasing Edison, 'I have not failed once. I succeeded in proving the 1000 ways a light bulb will not work, to reveal the way it will work.' Please never self-deprecate. You have a stunning mind and genuine ability.
And listen to the guy who tells you to NEVER WELD ZINC COATED METAL - GALVANIZED - without being outdoors with a mask and air tanks for breathing!!!
Sooo I’m getting the vibe ranchers and commercial fisherman have a lot in common when it comes to fabrication and safety parameters 😂
I hate that I have all of the same junk piles you do, but don't know how to weld! I'm going to fix that this summer!!! Keep Rocking son!
I taught myself it wasn’t that bad!
