How to Use a Fishing Stringer (Keeping Fish Alive While Fishing ) -- Different Types
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- There are a variety of fishing stringers on the market. Keeping fish alive and fresh while fishing is important. I find a simple stringer with a pointed end and loop end are the cheapest and most effective at keeping fish alive. They also work great for small boats and kayaks without a live-well. Other options include metal stringers, fish baskets, and a large bucket. However, large fish will not fit within most fish baskets or buckets.
Thanks for Watching and Good Luck Fishing!
Just got into fishing 2 months ago the dam thing came with my first tackle box from flambeau had no idea what it was for until now amazing video my man thanks for the knowledge keep em coming
Gotta get em back in the water here tho soon,
*throws em on land keeps talking*
lmfao i was thinkin this
Yeah was a great live demo for us, but unfortunately there's little chance that fish made it after this video was done. Better off killing and eating that one I think
I've been fishing in boats with live wells my whole life, but am starting to bank fish. This video was a lifesaver! Thanks!
There'll always be a market for quick videos delivering pointed information to direct questions. Nice work!
Thanks man, this is just what I was looking for (I'm new to fishing and I want to learn as much as I can before my first trip).
Thanks again.
You said everything I wanted to know by half way through. Thank you for being thorough and clear about it. God bless you.
I've always gone through the gills. Never had an issue with keeping stocked creek trout alive but I'm usually not out for more than 3 hours. Thanks for the demo!
That was very helpful for this novice. Thank you very much. I could not find a book on how to use this piece of equipment and thought going through the gills was just wrong. You proved my right. Thank you again.
How do you secure the fish to the shore line though? I tried one of the rope ones today and the metal part didn't hold in the ground and my fish swam off with the whole darn thing.... I about cried! LOL
Better than losing five live fish lol
Rocks on top of the rope or tie it off to another rope and tie it to a tree.
Kimberly Storms learn how to tie a figure 8 on a bite or a bolen and you'll be all set. Make sure to learn to tie it around an object though
@Dhanush T lol
🐟 FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM!!!! 🐟

Duuude
Used to catch a lot of your vids
You’re a real hidden jewel hope 2022 blows up for you
Cheers! Best of luck fishing in 2022!
just bought my kayak the other day and I will know how to use this very efficiently, thanks for the help!
Thanks man I'm going fishing at a creek and I wanna catch some trout to take home and eat but I want to keep it alive until I get home never used a stringer before because I usually go on a boat or kayak but thanks man
Wasn't sure my first time but now I know thanks lil bro
Thanks! Now we just need to catch one😄 you can tell we're beginners, the fish look at our lures or bait, then casually swim away. . . 😆
Thanks i bought one of the poly cord stringers but had no clue how to use it. You explained it perfectly.
this helps I always go through the gill!
Really learning to love this guy avid michigan fishermen here
that's a good tip,that's the way I've always done it,but you would be suprized how many people don't have a clue to do that.
cool thx i was doing through the gills i will definitely do this from now on
Let’s hear it for the volunteer, that fish didn’t flinch AT ALL
That was GNARLY
I know some places sell cages that you put in the water for fish, but I wasn't a big fan of them. They couldn't really move all too well, and would normally end up dying on me because my grandpa, dad, and I would fish all day!
A basket or a cage
Wow I like fishing
Doesnt work for salmon fishing. The weight of the fish will rip right through the lips. but that's great for trout and similar fish.
Late starting neophyte... thank you for these tips!!
I was recently diagnosed with neophyte in my left lung
Where do you put them if you're on a boat. Lol I forgot a lot...also my strings have no loops. Gotta get them too.
Great Video! Thanks for sharing! Personally, I prefer the metal stringers for Catfish. More Durable. The Nylon is definitely the way to go with Blue Gills and Shellcrackers. Keep posting Videos... Your Videos Rock !!
That's a nice trout you have there.
Yesterday I went fishing and had fish on my chain stringer as I usually do with the wire through the bottom lip, and one of my fish actually twisted and struggled so much it must have torn its lip right off of the stringer! I had 3 fish, then I caught another fish, and suddenly I had only 2 on my stringer!
Yeah, you should always put it through the gills
@@SpartanTiger140 yeah because when they try to escape it hurts their gills and they dont like that so they dont try to escape
Now for river fish like trout, do you recommend freezing them in an ice slurry before cleaning/filleting them? I know fluke are easier to filet if cooled in an ice slurry.

VERY GOOD INFORMATION!
Thank for the awesome video
Thanks for this. I hope to do some shoreline fishing this year and I'm too poor for a boat/live-well. Plus I hope to catch something a little bigger, if I can get out there before it gets too warm for the fish. Can't wait to pan-fry some trout.
Great video thank you
awesome channel! Been watching a bunch of them. real deal proven information! thank you.
Thanks good advise!!
Love this kid
Very nice my man! Thanks a ton!
I wanna fish all day damnit so what am I supposed to do? Throw my catch back in the water? The other day I caught a nice hybrid but after 10 min on the stringer it started to turn upside down so I just let it go. Then it just swam off like nothing happened.
tips use a fish basket
tips you got outsmarted by a fish. ... Not a brag
Doh! Played by a fishy.
thx man bcz i bought the tackle kit and didnt know wat it was for thank you verymuch i sub
Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Your the best
Really helpful thank you
Walmart needs these here
Every Walmart I've been to has em.🤔
Thanks. So with the simple polystringer... What do you do with the other end how do you actually secure it because you'll just end up with the pointy end. 👍
But then what do you tie the stringer to?
Great video! Thanks for the easy explanation and demonstration! :-)
Thanks!
I know this is an old video, but I hope you’ll see and reply anyway. How long can you expect fish to stay alive like that in water? I’m putting one in my emergency go bag, so in a let’s say apocalypse event, I catch 10 fish, but need to save them alive to last as long as possible. How long would they last, so I know when to eat them by? Or is it random and I should just watch them closely?
If you don't have somewhere to store the fish, it would be recommended to only catch what you can eat then and there or preserve through primitive techniques. Stringers wouldn't be for storing fish indefinitely.
@@OtterVonBiscuit no I know that. But would they stay alive for 4 hours? Or 4 days? That would definitely be useful information to have.
@@Nathan35077 If it were me, I wouldn't keep them there longer than I was there fishing. So less than a day I would aim for. Probably better to bring them back to a filled bathtub/pool than leave them out where you caught them. I'm sure other fish or wildlife would take your fish if you left where you caught them, even if they would technically survive on the stringer for longer.
@@OtterVonBiscuit okay, thanks for the tips!
today i caught a 14 inch smallmouth that was 3 and a half pounds and a bull head that was also 14 in and about 2 pounds so i put them on a stringer to bring them home to show my family and then i brought them back to the river and they swam off and survived
How would you recommend for catfish?
..good vid man..thx!
can you do a fishing vid on a medium action spinning rod? catching bass or trout pls?
Thanks
But does it hurt the fish?
How do you secure your stringer when you fish from the bank
You’re definitely chasing TylersReelFishing
You outta try to hook up with that kid
You may even be easier to watch
Keep at it
Good vid
Have you ever had a fish break through the soft mouth that way? I'm referring to crappie's soft mouth.
Don’t risk puncturing gills but you definitely puncture the mouth 🤔
cool
can i use a net instead? not the ones you use when you catch one. Some kind of a fish trap. I'd like to use those instead of stringers
Yes you're right! I found one at Walmart a day after I posted this question lol but I've never seen them before tho, only stringers. But thanks for the info. Happy fishing :D
There are fish "Baskets" collapsible that you can throw in the water and keep your fish nice and awake. It's what I use. There like $7-14
I'm going to bsa camp bucktom and I have never used a stringer, and I need to use one
“I gotta get this guy back in the water pretty quickly” * throws it on the ground * 😂😂
about that basic stringer. you can only hold 1 fish on those?
Tie a basic knot (loosely), poke a whole through the bottom of the mouth, put the metal part through the knot loop, loosely tighten, repeat for more fish.
Did you even Listen to that videoguy?
is it still safe to eat if you kill/clean the fish and then put them on the stringer?
that really defeats the purpose of using a stringer. The whole point of using a stringer is so you can keep the fish alive until you dock and can take them right to the fillet station.
+Gucci Sosa thanks so much!
Hug is done
chain gang lol
Why not use a keepnet instead? Its a way more humane option, and much better if you should decide to release a fish later on
+Carl Winslow But maybe some would stop and think of what they are doing. duh
AMEN!
UnclebeefDk fish don’t feel pain first off, so they can’t feel the pain of a small hole in their mouth. Plus, if your not gonna eat them, why would you keep them?
@@Lem0nSprinklesFish don't feel pain? They have a nervous system. They feel pain.
This is halfway right. A fish must be able to close its mouth, in order to push water through the gills, hence breathe. Pierce the spike through both upper and lower mouth so the stringer line/cord/clip is NOT caught between its lips and the fish will be able to close its mouth and not drown/suffocate.
also what about a bucket with water from the lake ro store the fish
Doss Dips Tv You can but you need to aerate the water regularly otherwise there won't be any oxygen in it.
U murdered that beautiful specimen
Or just release the fish which I usually won't do.
That poor fish had to endure a lot while you were showing all different techniques 🙈
Worried about keeping the fish alive but he had 2 already dead on land guess he couldn't get the shots he wanted
🤔I don't like through bottom of the fishes mouth I seen way too many fish with ripped apart mouths I'd rather go through the gill
"Gotta get this fish back in the water, he's been out for awhile" ---Has 2 other fish just sitting on the grass behind him.
I was always taught to put it through the gills and even by professional fishers. If u put it through the mouth they would obviously break their own mouths to get off lmao
You mean taught? Or thought
@@mjoe2 taught, but idk at this point, it seems incorrect the way this guy is doing it
Fuck that chain i lost a big ass catfishh guys never ues that chain i got that same one n lost a fishh
aww......poor fish! LOL
Wow! What a nice vocabulary!
+Lizabeth Friesen The thin skin at the bottom of their mouths has no nerve endings, so just like a hook it doesn't actually hurt the fish.
All I heard was my pussy hurts
I've never seen anybody go through the mouth like that
Doesnt work for catfish.
Fish getting rope burn
just get a spearfishing stringer... all problems solved
Thanks for teaching me how to torture a beautiful fish.......
fish don't know what torture is. If you are going to eat it, gotta keep it fresh. Honor the animal by making it delicious.
could poking a hole in the thin skin in their mounth affecr them in any way
Phillipmckracken no it will not at all. it'll actually let em live longer. going through the gills usually makes em die since that's how they get their oxygen.
Reel Yakin Ok,Thanks I just didnt want affect them in a negative way.
Nice video and thanks. Just a note; people are overusing the word "basically" in their videos. It is my belief that it is used, consciously or not, to impress the viewer that there is esoteric information that the presenter is in possession of. The other possibility is that "basically" has become a part of speech similar to the use of the word "like". A habitual filler word. A phrase that is overused today is "pretty much". I don't think you used that phrase.
I see semiprofessional videos which repeatedly and indiscriminately use the word "basically". The best videos do not use the word. I hope that you accept my recommendations in the manner in the constructive way they are intended. Thanks again for the video.
Was that better?
Fuckin rekt
That looks barbaric.
Walmart one is superlong. Any tips to avoid a messy string?
thanks
