That’s a cool Idea Thanks for the tip! Good footage as always
where are the bugs
I would not put that fish back
Nice 👍🏽
what bait do you use?
You forgot the Mountain Dew bottle on your gear list. Awesome videos. I’m going to have to gear up for those big whisker cats and night fishing. I see the truck in Prescott all the time. Hope to meet you sometime.
I lived around the twin cities for a number of years, never knew they had flat head like that up there
Man I’m from out of state and I am really looking for a good place to fish were do y’all recommend???
Nice size flat heads……………
Whats that song in the middle? I loved it
Good tip!
Great video I subbed to your channel please sub to mine. Thanks
Or you could just floated jur boat past the fish and real him in.. 👌😲😲
Can I go fishing with u!? 😂😂
Nice
Minnesota has only small fish. I could be mistaken but i think the state record flathead is less than 80 lbs. And has been for decades. Big largemouth bass are pretty much non existent. Land of 10,000 ponds with small fish.
You guys got nothin’ on Kayak Catfish….sorry dudes
Nice job!👍👏👏
You’re not gonna need a bigger boat.
👍
next time you do that put a chemical light stick in the bottle.
you can thank me later.
I know this was a couple years ago but how far up are you on the Mississippi River there n MN? Up close to Bemidji?
Tayvion

When you hook him you should say god bless texas that is why you end up with that problem

Nice video guys.

Catch and release catch 3 keep 2 catch 6 keep 3
very nice video . love the creativity. sub to me for fishing videos on the susquehanna
What pay lake is this
Have to ask what kinda camera are y’all using??
Nice one.
I hate it when you get a fish on but you’re also snagged around something I’ve lost a bunch fish that way. Especially bass how they deliberately swim towards the worst shit! Anyways nice job!
Wow there you can throw a baseball across it. Where I live it takes 3 minutes to drive across it. Or two if traffic is 60 or so.
I just sub
I always catch n release the big ones they have too much mercury. I’d rather eat the smaller ones around 15”-18” just the right size.
On the first fish all you needed to do was go downstream of the wood pile.
👍👍
Happy to see "catch and release" especially on these "Older Fish" …. great video and tips!
Really enjoyed this video!
Why don’t people tie a rope to their pole in case it pulls in, never thought on it until now
Hell of a catch great job👍
Nice job fellas
Thank you for putting those flatheads back, now I can catch and eat them.
nice flats and cool trick
