50lb FLATHEAD | 2 Nights w/ 73yo DAD for 282lbs (River CAMPING) Pt. 1

Cracking the night bite on this 2-night remote boat camping fishing trip turned into an absolute powerhouse of an adventure! GIANT Flathead Catfish after GIANT Flathead CATFISH! In Part 1 of this Father's Day Special, my dad and I head deep into the backcountry to set up basecamp, gather firewood, and target some of the absolute biggest river monsters swimming in these waters. The action was non-stop. A legendary multi-fish night bite that we will never forget. In this video alone, we manage to land 4 massive Flathead Catfish tipping the scales at 26lbs, 35lbs, 45lbs, and a giant 50-pounder! We even pick up a bonus 13" walleye and a 14" sheepshead along the way while grinding it out from a random wooded shoreline. This is what backcountry basecamp camping is all about—heavy logs, big fires, and giant fish with family. Stick around for Part 2 next week where the ultimate RIVER MONSTER shows up!
