All About Channel Catfish (in 5 MINUTES)

Easy knot tieing and easy way of getting hooks out of mouth of fish if they swallow to much of lure

I have yet to catch a channel cat but I do love the bullheads! I wish it was legal to have them as pets.

She has never caught a channel in her life, but nice video👍

Good video thank you 😊

COVID was good for my lake and local waterways. Water quality, fish quantity, and average fish size is way up. Best it's been in over 30 years.

I grew up on a lake I've used everything. I've used loads of chicken liver, I no longer recommend that. I like to use the raw colossal shrimp almost exclusively. It is easy and fairly clean to use and always have them in my freezer. The new thing is cut chicken, doesn't smell as bad as liver anyways and stays on the hook way better.
You can realistically catch a channel on about anything. Any lure. Dog treats. Hot dogs. Corn. Peas. Soap. Hot pepper. Dough balls. Nothing would surprise me.

Every time she says "ab oot" take a drink. Jk but great video!

I love catching these guys they put up good fights and I can find them esay im my river

Catch them at Night🌕

I thought this was going to be a tutorial on making sandwiches...I guess it's a lost art

Top baits... Cut Bluegill, Shrimp/crawfish, or Nightcrawlers... If you have a way to keep chicken liver on a hook, also a good bait. Hope it helps :)

Caught my first channel catfish last night!

Don’t follow this video for fishing advice.

Complete junk

Do they spawn in creeks ?

I am a flyfisher, soo I do flyfish for Catfish. I recently landed a 14 lb. Channel Cat in a private community lake, ate a fly pattern called the Bossbob Leech. We get to sight fish to the cats in this lake, which is fantastic. Usually I am fishing to known structure where i know Cats should be. I've also caught some big Black Bullheads and Plecostomus or Suckermouth Catfish on the fly. want to hit the canals of Imperial County here in California for Flathead Catfish on the fly. Catfish are Hard fighters on a flyrod and deserve to be as popular as Carp on the fly.

Channel catfish kept two as pets in garden pond. Would feed at the surface, never gave any problem to any of the other fish in the pond. Almost impossible get more cats in the uk although not illegal to keep it is apparently illegal for shops to sell.

average size 9 to 18 inches ,smallest one i ever caught was 18 inches biggest was over 28 inches

We catch channel cats in the Florida Everglades
