I am finally starting to edit the videos that I recorded all spring and the summer so far. This is my first edited fishing video, so please be kind! LOL.... I had finished the edit and put it on YouTube but they didn't like the songs that I put it my video so when I played it there was no sound.... Copyright Infringement.... I should have known that was going to happen before I did it. YouTube has a list of songs that you can use for free and you don't have to worry about copyright infringement but they aren't the best songs. The edit is not the best either but it was my first try and with time and practice the videos will get better. I tried to bash myself as much as I could so nobody else would have the chance!! HAHAHA.....

So now on to the video...

It was on Caney Lake in April. The first fish is my personal best to date... 5.5 lbs. You can't hear my excitement cause I took the sound out because I thought I sounded like a compete idiot lol. The 2nd is a dink and the 3rd fish was a slot fish.

Oh MAN! love this video. My family had a camp on the west side of Parish Road 307 back in the late 80's to mid 90's. I fished it when it still had green timber in it and you could catch 50 to 60 fish a day on almost any lure you wanted to tie on. I think my personal best was about 5 1/2 pounds as well. A friend of mine caught the very first DD fish out of it in a tournament I was fishing. It was 10.0X something. As soon as I get my next rig I plan to revisit that place and see if I can boat a DD fish.....It's about a 5 hour haul for me these days......

Thanks man! I love Caney! I really just started fishing it this year and I've heard many stories about Caney in it's hayday when it produced lunkers all the time. Then they introduced carp into the lake and the grass disappeared and so did a lot of the lunkers. I've had a few good days out there this year but no days that were just off the charts. I'm working on my next video which is at Caney from a couple weeks ago when I caught a few deep cranking and on a c-rig. Caney is coming back to being a really goof fishery.

Jnutz, I believe since the carp are pretty much gone Caney's hay days are still ahead of it. As the vegetation rebounds those DD's are going to start coming from its depths. Who knows she may be harboring anothetr state record........I used to catch most of my bigger fish on a shad pattern Mann's 20+ and I believe it worked so well mainly becasue of the king size gizzard shad that were in it.......

YouTube is hard to figure out.. .there is not a song that you can't find out there.... but, let you or I use one in a video and the song police are right there... really strange.... can't understand it.

I agree they are catching big ones all the time. Caney definitly has the potential to produce another state record... Hopefully I'll be holding her!!



Man it really stupid to me... I'm not putting videos on youtube to make money off of them or off peoples songs. You see videos all day long though that have popular songs playing in them. I don't know if they get permission or what but it doesnt make sense to me.

The one thing that I think will play into Caney producing another state record is if the poultry farms are still in the area and operating. I think the nutrients from the run off of those farms is what contributed to the first batch of state records and the massive vegetation growth, but the carp ended that.......I bet they got really big too......

Well there are still plenty of chicken houses around there. I never caught any carp out of there but I have heard about some big ones that were caught.

I'm sure glad the chicken houses are there and the carp are disappearing. My son and I drove around the north end of the lake in several places back in February looking at property for sale and we could already see vegetation starting to rebound.

Oh yea the vegetation is starting to come back. Hopefully they won't get another foolish idea and put more carp in there.
