Some of you may know, that myself and my fishing partner, Will Love, are in the process of filming a catfish and bull drum DVD entitled "Bottom Fever." The filming started this past January, and we've gotten some great footage so far. We have a couple more shots to get and we will be releasing the trailer for the dvd soon. Iv'e already lined up some trips with some pretty big names in the catfishing world (no spoilers) with 2 trips being on the Mississippi. Most of the footage will be taken from local NC fisheries and of course, the James river. Its going to be something totally different than anything else to hit the catfish scene. Our goal is for this DVD to be a stepping stone into the TV realm. We've got a production company who's very interested all ready. So check out of facebook pages. One is the business page, like us on there, and the other is our friends page, send us a friend request and shoot me a message letting me know that youre from CFF. Check in and see some updates on the filming process. Thanks for the support!

I don't do facebook anymore. Gets you into too much trouble with the significant other.;D Seems like a good idea, but a ton of people have begun to make catfishing videos. In fact there are a good number of people who have youtube channels dedicated to catfishing videos. Of course some are better than others. There's no doubt the demand would be high for such videos, since catfish are the 3rd most popular sport fish. In-fisherman has countless videos, and even a yearly magazine dedicated to catfish. Which I own most of.

What makes yours different?

Whats your stance on guided fishing? IE. Fish that are caught with a guide rather than in your boat, your spot, your rods, your bait, etc.?

I figured instead of bumping your thread, you could elaborate more. Give people a reason to like your facebook page.

Youre right, there are a ton of catfishing videos on the net but we are going to have a solid years worth of footage compiled onto one DVD, fishing through all 4 seasons and showing the different strategies for each season and showing tips of the trade along the way. The biggest difference of our DVD and others will be the quality of video picture and editing. We are going to be adding a more edgy and newer age twist to the catfishing industry, not just to fat guys on a boat with banjos playing over the video. Most video's and DVD's just show the fisherman sitting in the boat and a rod goes down. We are going to be explaining WHY we are in the spot we are fishing, what appeals to us, showing the graph and marked fish. Bait fishing and bait choices will be covered, different rigs, equipment, etc. will also be explained. The dvd is going to be geared to experienced cat men, and also to the one's just getting started. There is also going to be other entertainment in the DVD that may not just be about the fishing. There will also be big bull red drum fishing included since its right there among cats as my favorite fish to target. And about guided trips, there is definitely a place for guides. If someone has the catfish bug but lives in NYC and has no boat, how else is he going to get started in the sport? And as for the DVD, we've been out with 2 guides for 2 reasons.. First and foremost, to help support and advertise their business for their area. Secondly, to piggy back the first reason, to just get good footage. There's nothing wrong with that. DVD's and fishing shows do this ALL the time. 99% of the footage will be shot from my boat or Will's boat with Just us and a camera man on the boat. We WILL be taking a trip to the Mississippi, to fish with some folks who are not guides. One of them is John Jamison. We dont have the funds just yet to haul our boats across the country so we just have to make due. It will be very informative and enjoyable to watch, no doubt about it.


And about the facebook thing, this page is the first time ive been on facebook since '07. I dont have a personal page for the exact reason you mentioned. LoL, i feel your pain. Ive never really liked facebook and hate when its the topic of everyones conversation, but you can't deny that facebook is the most effective way to get the word around and to "meet" as many folks as you do. I'll keep my personal stuff "personal" LoL. Thanks for asking these questions and wanting to know more, Sean.

I think thats a great response! Im ready for the release! Bring on the big Cats!

[catterman]

Thanks, Kip

Well put.

I'm not busting the guides, or people who fish with guides. Albeit it is easier to catch larger fish with guides. More of less I kind of opened the window for comments. Most,90%, of the videos in-fisherman release are with guides, so I felt that that would be one way you could distinguish yourself from them. By adding multiple species you will also set yourself apart from other catfisherman and the videos out there. There are quite a few guys out there who can go out and catch trophy flatheads, but don't care about channels or blues. The same goes for blue cat guys, most catch a flathead and could care less. (NOT ALL THOUGH) I realize that a few guys on here are slightly different.

May I suggest a segment on carp fishing? There are already a few cat guys out there that enjoy the tug of a carp every now and then. They grow pretty large and fight hard, what most catmen live for.

[catterman]

While I'm not much on Carp fishing, my partner in crime, Will, is a carp nut. They are probably his second favorite freshwater fish next too cats. I'll keep that in mind. Im sure he'd love to do some carp fishing for the film. Thanks for the suggestion, Sean.
