[00:00:11]What's going on, YouTube?

[00:00:13]I am so excited.

[00:00:16]I am at uh Conroe Wingle Dam for the first time this year.

[00:00:22]The big boy bluegill minnow.

[00:00:27]I give it a shot.

[00:00:30]And bait is uh fresh bluegill.

[00:01:58]Big one.

[00:03:08]>> I'm using uh 40-lb braid both these lines just to help with getting me some distance.

[00:03:20]Using a six six-aught No, excuse me.

[00:03:24]Eight-aught circle hooks.

[00:03:28]And uh 3-oz uh disc sinkers.

[00:03:41]And for for those that want and wanted to know what this thing is for uh the velocity of those of the braided line coming off the reel can be uh enough to slice your fingers.

[00:03:57]So, this prevents my hands from getting cut up.

[00:05:29]Beautiful rock. Can't keep him.

[00:05:47]Illegal to keep uh keep a rock fish this time of year.

[00:05:53]Because I don't fish for them. I don't keep up on when they're legal and when they're not.

[00:06:01]But he'd have definitely been good to eat.

[00:06:11]This right here is the gizzard shad.

[00:06:13]This is the prime bait for the catfish here at Kanawha River Dam.

[00:06:20]This is worth its weight in gold.

[00:07:09]He's tired.

[00:07:11]Oh, Chad.

[00:07:58]>> First one of the year.

[00:08:00]I'm we're throwing back, but I'm keeping them for a picnic.

[00:08:04]This is a good eater size catfish, so keeping them.

[00:08:20]All right.

[00:08:23]One more dog.

[00:08:25]Come on, man.

[00:08:31]Uh-oh.

[00:08:32]Uh-oh.

[00:08:33]Uh-oh. A linebacker. A linebacker. A linebacker.

[00:08:46]I like this.

[00:08:48]All right, then. I was going to get it.

[00:08:57]All right, it's on.

[00:08:59]Yeah.

[00:09:13]That ain't good.

[00:09:17]We got a $30 I thought it I know.

[00:09:39]That ain't good.

[00:10:02]>> First big one get me snagged.

[00:10:05]Ah, that hurt.

[00:10:52]Big snake.

[00:10:55]Big snake.

[00:11:04]Man.

[00:11:16]Wow.

[00:11:20]Look at how big this snake is.

[00:11:24]Trying to get a measurement.

[00:11:28]Massive.

[00:11:38]>> This is definitely my PB.

[00:11:53]Stick it is 9 and 1/2 lbs.

[00:12:02]Massive.

[00:12:09]Massive.

[00:12:25]This is definitely uh good consolation prize for not getting what I came here for, the blue catfish.

[00:12:34]But I'll take it.

[00:12:41]One more look.

[00:12:45]9 and 1/2 lbs.

[00:12:51]Now, because these fish are um public enemy number one for DNR, um you got to kill them.

[00:12:59]I typically don't, but uh the native the native police um DNR police came by and uh had a guy had his alive, had to kill him.

[00:13:11]So, that's what I've That's why I had to cut his throat.

[00:13:15]So, it's dead in case they come back and want to check for it.

[00:13:19]9 and 1/2 lbs.

[00:13:22]Beautiful.

[00:13:26]Well, YouTube, uh getting out of here.

[00:13:30]I struck out today with the blue catfish.

[00:13:33]Fishing was horrible as far as I'm concerned.

[00:13:36]But, what a consolation prize.

[00:13:39]Massive snakehead.

[00:13:45]Beautiful.

[00:13:49]Next time I come back, uh probably probably will be in a couple days.

[00:13:55]And, uh targeting, of course, blue catfish.
