Willie you should add some sturdy rod holders and drag a few rigs behind you with jumbo baits on them. Have fun hand lining eaters while waiting for a whale to drag you and your boat around..... Has to be some giants in there somewhere.
Good video thanks for sharing

Blues, yeah, there are big cats in these waters. I gave up rod and reel because I wanted a simpler setup.

Thanks Willie! Good video! Glad you're catching fish!

Blue, hehe! Now you're talking! In saltwater they run 200 to 300 lbs mono. That'd be the next step. At least going from the 30 lbs backing > 27 lbs leadcore > 20 Lbs mono shock leader to 50 lbs > 45 lbs > 40 lbs. That would essentially double the strength on my setup. Note the current Alabama state blue catfish record was caught on only 40 lbs line http://www.outdooralabama.com/blue-catfish-state-record-shattered The stronger setup listed above is well capable of some trophies. I need to make a new reel. I think I might rig it for some trophies. Thanks, Little. Glad yo liked it. Steve, thanks for stopping by. If there is anything you'd like to try, shoot me a private message. I can send you out a sample.

Which dam is that? I went Saturday and did quite well below Guntersville. Two guys were in a boat like yours and fishing close to one of the release gates. They had caught three blues, all over 25lbs each. Bait was hand sized live perch. For them it was catch and release, they just like catching big fish.
He is truly a sick individual.

Enjoyed the video! Always good to see how people use different methods and get great results. At least you don't have to worry about breaking a tip off your best catfish rod. Done that too many times! Keep um coming!
Just one more cast!
