    😂 at least you saw you were missing the paddle before launching. Once I was so excited to get out of work and hit the lake I launched my canoe and since the wind was blowing me where i needed to go I decided to drift while rigging my poles. Once i finished rigging I went to grab a paddle and nope, not there. I looked back at the boat launch and there they were leaning up against my car. I had to quickly tie on a Big-O and cast it into the bushes on shore and reel myself back in.

    Wow. When I was a kid (60 years ago) we rarely saw catfish over 4 pounds, and we fished all day. Now the Red produces big cats like crazy. I wonder if we simply were unlucky as kids, or if something truly happened in the fishery to produce these monsters. One thing that might be a clue is that we seldom caught goldeyes back then; however, we did catch a lot of carp. One more thing: that is very good fishing, IMO, considering the river is high.

    • @ndyakangler
      @ndyakangler  Před rokem +5

      I had similar experience growing up and fishing the Red. I more looked for a good spot on the bank to fish from rather than finding some good fish structure to target, and always used either crawlers or some type of dough bait. I think cut bait makes a big difference. It’s easier to keep the little fish from nibbling the bait away before the big fish gets it.

    • @ronaldkulas5748
      @ronaldkulas5748 Před rokem +5

      @@ndyakangler Thanks for your quick reply, Matt. On a lighter note: we used to cut-up carp for catfish bait. We caught our carp at a site where they gathered as thick as flies. We would throw cherry-bombs and silver-salutes into the throng and waited for the results. Then we waded a foot or two into the Red and gathered our future cut-bait. I think the statute of limitations has run out on that crime.

    A marvellous fishing day with the channel cats. Two of them at a time in the net and afterwards a third one. All of them good sized. The spring day and the American Red River of the North are so beautiful. A remarkable and smart description of the equipment by our good friend Matt…Those detailed descriptions are one the main assets of this CZcams channel to me. I find them quite interesting and useful. I really appreciate them.
    I enjoyed the video a lot, as always. I wish I had caught only just one of those three little pigs in my last fishing trip on my Easter vacation. No channel cat took my nice chunks of mackerel in a Spanish reservoir (La Serena reservoir) that six years ago had been a paradise on them. Surely the extremely low level was a factor. Thanks to this video I “fished “ vicariously this species that was illegally stocked in my country.
