Catfishing NY - video

[brabbuhl]

I just moved back up to NY from NC, and I have been looking for places to Catfish.  I have a lot of action in the Hudson, but the fish are generally small, and you can't eat them. 

Here is a video I put together the other day:

Any body else have any luck with big cats in the Hudson or Mohalk in NY? I noticed the state record was on Brant Lake, but I have never see anyone catch one their..weird

Nice video! I love to catch cats, especially through the ice. It's hard to believe how many anglers dislike them, it's usually a pretty good fight and they taste great!

Mohawk can be pretty good, I caught my PB channel near the rt 9 bridge! I also believe they are edible from there as well.

those are decent fish,  but there is way bigger in the hudson.   what part are you fishing uppper or lower.  Upper I would assume because you cant eat them.

I have caught some nice cats in Black Lake...one of my best fishing experiences was catching them on lighted bobbers there...looked like a torpedo coming at the boat under water...I use to catch lots of cats down in Virginia on the James River...nice video...

nice video for sure, looks like you are on the lower section of the Hudson River.
There are lots of BIGGER cats in the river. We mostly fish the Hudson above the Troy Dam in the C&R only section. Plus you'll find, like you don't already know, the bigg'ens come out at night.
We mostly do our catfish'n after dark. 
Have fun and good luck, catfish are all up and down both rivers, Hudson and Mohawk Rivers.

You want big cats, you gotta use big live baits.....like nice blue gills or crappie, hand sized..look for smaller streams meeting the big river, keep the bait live close to the bottom and next to undercuts.
