A BIG FISH.

... >> THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD...

HERE IT COMES.

GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOUR SAFETY OFF.

>> THE FINAL WEEKEND OF 2020 AND TO CELEBRATE THE YEAR THAT WAS, WE PICKED OUT A FEW OF OUR FAVORITE SEGMENTS.

>> FEEL LIKE A GOOD ONE.

>> YEP.

>> RAN STRAIGHT FOR THE CURRENT.

TOOK ME DOWNSTREAM WITH HER.

>> COMING UP NEXT ON KENTUCKY AFIELD... >> THERE YOU GO... >> THAT'S A PRETTY FISH.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> THIS POND IS PLUM FLOATED WITH FROGS.

>> THEY'RE EVERYWHERE IN HERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> THIS IS A GOOD FISH RIGHT HERE.

A REALLY GOOD FISH.

>> COME HERE, GIRL.

>> THAT'S A BIG RABBIT.

>> NICE JOB.

>> YES!

MY FIRST MUSKY.

>> LEO!

♪ WE GOT A KEEPER!

>> THERE GOES.

BOOM!

>> WOW, THAT HAPPENED FAST.

>> HELLO, WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD.

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

JOIN US AS WE JOURNEY THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.

I'M OFTEN ASKED, WHERE IS YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO GO FISHING IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY?

THE ANSWER?

IT MAY BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES.

HARD ON YOUR BONES OUT HERE.

>> THE ROCK HAS BEEN HERE A COUPLE MILLION YEARS.

NOT EASY ON THE WRIST, ANKLES AND BUTT WHEN YOU FALL.

>> TELL YOU WHAT, BOB, SUMMERTIME IN THE FALLS OF OHIO, THIS IS A SIGHT TO SEE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH FISH HERE IS PRETTY CRAZY.

YOU REALLY HAVE TO CAKE WHATEVER BITES, RIGHT.

>> I THINK SO.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POTENTIAL IS TODAY, WHAT TYPE OF FISH.

>> MAYBE THE STRIPERS OR HYBRID STRIPERS AND HOPEFULLY WE GET INTO SOME BLUE CATS TODAY, TOO.

>> DRUM, CARP, GAR, THOSE ARE ALL POSSIBILITIES AS WELL?

>> MAYBE A STURGEON OR SPOON BILL SWIMMING AROUND.

>> THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT FISH MOVING UP HERE THIS TIME OF YEAR.

EVERYTHING IS HOT, NOT A LOT OF FLOW BUT YOU HAVE OXYGENATED COOLER WATER FLOWING THROUGH.

WE MAY JUST SMASH THEM IF WE FIND A POCKET.

>> I JUST WALK STRAIGHT OUT IN HERE, SEE HOW SLIPPERY IT IS TODAY.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO START OFF WITH TODAY?

>> ALWAYS A GOOD BET, RUNNING THE SWIM BAIT SEE WHAT STRIKES.

>> I GOT TWO TIED ON.

READY FOR THAT.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS JACKET AND KEEP MY FANNY PACK JACKET ON, GRAB WHAT WE NEED.

WE CAN COME BACK IF WE FORGET SOMETHING, HUH?

>> WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE.

>> WHICH AREA DO YOU LIKE TO FISH UP HERE?

>> I LIKE TO FIND THE GROUPS OF ASIAN CARP AND WHEREVER THEY'RE STACKED UP, LOOKING INTO THE RAPID, A LOT OF TIMES YOUR PREDATOR FISH ARE UNDER NEEDS THEM.

SO WE ARE TRYING TO FOCUS ON THE ASIAN CARP.

>> THEY'RE EASY TO PICK OUT WITH THAT BIG DOORS DORSAL FIN.

>> LET'S GO CATCH SOME FISH.

>> HERE WE G. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS, BUT IT'S STRONG.

>> IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG DRUM OR SOMETHING.

WOW.

DOES THIS THING HAVE DRAG ON IT.

NOT THAT MUCH.

>> IT WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE.

>> THAT'S A CATFISH THERE, I THINK.

>> OH NO!

CATFISH.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE.

>> THAT'S AN ASIAN CARP HOOKED RIGHT IN THE MOUTH.

LOOKS LIKE THAT FISH INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO EAT THE BAIT.

I'M NOT SAYING HE DIDN'T.

THEY DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM SUITED TO EAT A BAIT FISH LIKE THAT.

THESE ARE AN INVASIVE SPECIES.

DO YOU MIND TAKING...

IF WE CAN GET THAT ONE OUT, WE'LL GET A CAT CATFISH THRIEN OUT HERE IN A MINUTE.

>> SWEET THANK YOU.

>> THAT IS WHY I LET HIM DO THE WALKING.

HE'S GOT THOSE FELT BOTTOM SHOES ON.

THAT WAS ABOUT BAD.

THERE WILL BE MORE OF THOSE TO COME.

I PROMISE YOU.

>> I GOT A CAROLINA RIG ONE OUNCE SINKER WITH A BEAD TO PROTECT MY KNOT BY MY SWIVEL.

A COUPLE FEET OF 25-POUND TEST AND LIKE A CIRCLE HOOK STYLE.

I'M GOING TO RUN THIS SWIM BLADDER THAT CAME OUT OF THE ASIAN CARP CAUGHT A FEW MINUTES AGO.

THEY REALLY HOOK UP WELL AND THEY DON'T COME OFF.

HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET A FEW GOOD FISH OUT OF THIS.

>> WHAT WAS THAT?

>> I THINK IT'S A CARP.

>> I STILL GOTTEN I GOT 'EM.

THAT'S A CRAZY HOW THEY'RE JUST THAT MANY OUT THERE THAT WE ARE HOOKING THEM IN THE MOUTH.

(WHISTLING).

>> SNAPPED MY LINE.

>> DID HE BREAK YOU?

>> I HAD A GOOD BREAK ACTUALLY.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE LINE BROKE.

>> THERE WE GO.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?

YOU SEE THAT THING JUMPING?

MAKE IT REAL APPEALING, YOU KNOW IF I WAS A BIG CATFISH, I WOULD EAT THAT.

>> IF I WAS A BIG CATFISH.

>> THERE WE GO BUFFALO ON THIS ONE.

EVERYTHING UP IN THERE TOOK YOU DOWNSTREAM!

THAT'S A BIG FIRN.

LOOK AT THE ASIAN CARP JUMPING AWAY FROM HIM!

THAT'S A GOOD ONE!

THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO SEE IF I CAN GET THIS FISH IN OH MY GOSH SNO.

HE'S WAY OUT THERE IN THAT CURRENT!

OH MY GOODNESS.

IT LOOKS LIKE A STANDOFF.

IF YOU CAN'T COME DOWN HERE AND ENJOY THIS, YOU JUST DON'T LIKE FISHING WE JUST GOT TO HOPE HE WANTS TO COME THIS WAY BECAUSE THIS IS ABOUT A 25-POUNDER AND HE'S OUT THERE IN THAT CURRENT.

>> A LITTLE FURTHER, BOB IS GOING TO NEED HIS MISSOURI FISHING LICENSE.

>> THE FISH GOT TO WANT TO SWIM THIS WAY TO CATCH 'EM.

I MAY GET SPOOLED RIGHT HERE.

>> JUST BROKE.

MY LINE JAPPED WHAT HAVE I GOT!

THAT'S WHY I WENT AND GOT THE BIG ROD.

I SAW YOU HOOKED UP.

I SAID I BETTER GET A BIG STICK.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE A FISH LIKE THAT ON THE OTHER ROD.

>> RAN STRAIGHT FOR THE CURRENT.

TOOK ME DOWNSTREAM WITH HER.

THAT'S NICEMENT HARD TO BEAT.

CHAD HAD ONE HIT LIKE THIS A SECOND AGO.

>> I GOT A FRESH WATER SHARK.

>> BIG ONE!

THAT THING IS 15 POUNDS OR BETTER.

>> GOOD LORD HAVE MERCY.

NOW YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME EXCITEMENT, YOU COME OUT HERE AND GET IN THE MOVING CURRENT AND HOOK ONE OF THOSE ON A MOVING LURE, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT.

THANK GOODNESS THAT FISH DIDN'T HIT ON THE OTHER RIG I HAD, I WOULD HAVE HAD A HECK OF A RIDE.

I BROUGHT THE BIG STICK OUT.

>> GOT HOOKED.

THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL FISH.

GOD THAT'S A LONG NOSED GAR.

BLUE CATFISH, DRUM, GAR, ASIAN CARP, AND A BUFFALO.

>> GOT TO GET SOME MORE GUMMY BEARS.

MOUTH FULL OF GUMMY BEARS KEEP YOU GOING.

LOOK AT ALL OF THEM.

HALF GOING DOWN, HALF COMING BACK UP.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY WANT TO BE.

EVERY CAST I'M GETTING A BITE AND JUST LIKE PLAYING ROULETTE, WHAT KIND OF FISH IS THAT GOING TO BE.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

THAT IS A GOOD ONE.

PRETTY FISH THOUGH, TOO.

>> THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY HOW MANY CATFISH WE ARE CATCHING OUT OF EXTREMELY SHALLOW WATER.

I CAN SEE THESE ASIAN CARP FINS IN THERE AND THE CATFISH ARE SETTING RIGHT BELOW THEM, TWO AND THREE FEET DEEP.

INCREDIBLY STRONG AND FUN TO CATCH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH WE'VE CAUGHT TODAY.

WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT CATCH SOME HYBRIDS.

THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN BUT THE WATER DEPTH WAS PERFECT TO CATCH A BOAT LOAD OF THESE BLUE CATFISH AND WE CAUGHT THEM ALL ON SWIM BAITS AND BLADDERS OF THE ASIAN CARP.

WHAT A PRETTY FISH.

>> 2020 WAS A DIFFERENT YEAR FOR MANY YEARS.

PROBABLY MY FAVORITE HUNT THAT TOOK PLACE, I DIDN'T EVEN GO ON.

>> MY DAUGHTER SHOULD BE HOME FROM SCHOOL ANY MINUTE.

I'M GOING TO STEP INSIDE AND SURPRISE HER TODAY WITH HER VERY FIRST DEER HUNT.

>> YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING ME ABOUT WANTING TO DEER HUNT.

YOU HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DEER HUNT FOR A LONG TIME, RIGHT?

>> YEAH, AND EVERY SINGLE YEAR WHEN YOU WANTED TO GO DEER HUNTING YOU HAD A VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT.

BECAUSE OF CORONAVIRUS YOU DON'T HAVE A VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENT.

>> BUT YOU ARE GOING TO BE OUT OF TOWN.

>> I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN WANTING TO DEER HUNT AND UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T TAKE YOU.

I WANT TO BE THERE FOR YOUR FIRST HUNT BUT I DON'T WANT TO HOLD YOU BACK, EITHER.

SO WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I GOT YOU SOMETHING.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU I GOT YOU THIS.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS?

THAT IS YOUR LICENSE AND IT'S YOUR DEER TAGS AND I GOT YOU A NEW HUNTING JACKET AND SOME...

SOME HUNTERS ORANGE AND A NEW SHIRT.

AND GUESS WHAT?

>> WHAT?

>> MISS RACHEL, WHO YOU HAVE BEEN GOING TO SHOOT WITH... >> WE ARE GOING TO SQUEEZE AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE, OKAY?

(GUNSHOT).

>> MISS RACHEL IS GOING TAKE YOU THIS SUNDAY AND YOU GET TO GO ON YOUR VERY FIRST DEER HUNT.

ARE YOU EXCITED.

>> YEAH.

>> I WILL BE GETTING HOME ABOUT THE TIME YOU GET OUT OF THE STANDS.

IF YOU GET A DEER, I WILL BE ABLE TO COME THERE AND HELP YOU OUT.

>> YAY!

>> I CAN TELL YOU THAT CAMPBELL IS PRETTY EXCITED TO BE GOING DEER HUNTING WITH YOU.

>> CHAD, THAT'S AWESOME.

I HAVE KNOWN CAMPBELL A LONG TIME AND I'M SO GRATEFUL YOU ASKED ME TO MENTOR HER FOR HER FIRST HUNT AND I'M JUST AS EXCITED AS SHE IS TO GET OUT THERE.

ARE YOU EXCITED?

TODAY'S THE DAY.

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT ARE WE DOING TODAY?

>> GOING ON MY FIRST HUNT.

>> AND WHERE ARE WE GOING TO TRY TO HARVEST?

>> A DEER?

>> YEAH.

>> TAKING A KID ON A HUNT IS NOT ONLY A FUN EXPERIENCE TO ARE A KID, IT'S A GREAT TEACHING OPPORTUNITY.

>> EXACTLY.

THERE IS SOME DEER SCAT RIGHT THERE.

AND THE UTSZ RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER HERE.

ARE YOU READY?

>> YEAH.

(WHISPERING) RACK YOUR BOLT UP... AND PUSH IT DOWN... YOU KEEP THAT FINGER ON THE TRIGGER.

>> HOW FAR IS IT TO THE OTHER END OF THE FIELD?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WHAT IS YOUR GUESS?

>> I DON'T KNOW.

LOOKS PRETTY CLOSE.

IN THE BINOCULARS THOUGH.

IF YOU LOOK THROUGH THAT AND PRESS THIS BUTTON, IT WILL SHOW YOU THE YARDAGE AT THE BOTTOM.

THE SCREEN IS BLOCKING IT FOR ME.

>> IT SAYS 371.

THAT'S ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE RED TREE.

>> WE ARE NOT GOING TO SHOOT THAT FAR BUT I THINK THE DEER WILL BE FEEDING ON THIS END SO I WOULD THINK THAT WE WOULD GET A CLOSE SHOT LIKE 100 OR CLOSER.

>> YEAH.

>> WE GOT A GOOD WIND TODAY.

FEEL CONFIDENT.

CAN YOU SEE WHAT THE WIND IS DOING?

>> I SEE A DEER UP THERE.

THERE'S A DEER WALKING UP RIGHT NOW.

>> OH GOSH.

>> YOU'RE OKAY.

SHE IS WALKING TO US.

>> I SEE HER IN HERE.

>> SEE HER?

>> YEAH.

>> DO YOU WANT ME TO ZOOM IN OR ANYTHING?

>> NO, IT'S PERFECT.

>> IF YOU LOOK AT ITS HEAD, IT'S A BUTTON BUCK CAMPBELL, CAN YOU TELL?

>> YEAH.

>> IT'S UP TO YOU BUT I THINK WE SHOULD WAIT FOR A BIGGER DOUGH DOE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> YEAH, LET'S WAIT.

>> BUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS SHOOT JUST LIKE THE DEER IS STANDING RIGHT NOW.

YOU CAN LOOK THROUGH YOUR SCOPE AND PRACTICE.

KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER HE MIGHT BE CORNERING A LITTLE BIT BUT HE IS PRETTY MUCH BROAD SIDE.

THAT'S HOW WE WANT TO SHOOT A DEER, OKAY?

>> OKAY.

>> THERE'S A LITTLE SQUIRREL.

SEE HIM?

>> I SEE HIM.

>> OH MY GOSH.

>> CANDLE BELL, THERE'S ANOTHER DEER.

IT'S WAY IN THE VERY BACK OF THE FIELD.

I'M NOT 100% SURE BUT I THINK IT'S A BIG DOE.

SHE IS STILL ABOUT 300 YARDS AWAY.

SHE LOOKS FAT AND HAPPY OUT THERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG DOE.

LOOK THROUGH THE SCOPE, SEE IF YOU CAN FIND HER.

THERE IS THE BUTTON BUCK.

HERE IT COMES.

GO AHEAD AND EASE YOUR SAFETY OFF.

IT WILL BE IN RANGE ONCE IT'S AT THE TOP OF THE HILL GOING TO WAIT FOR THEM TO FEED AROUND.

THIS IS KEEPING THE NERVES AT BAY AND HAVING THE PATIENCE.

JUST LIKE WE PRACTICED ON THE RANGE.

GOING TO TAKE GOOD SHOTS.

ARCHTD WHEN IT'S RIGHT, WE'RE GOING TO SLOWLY SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER.

IT LOOKS LIKE A COUPLE MORE STEPS THAT WAY AND YOU MIGHT HAVE A SHOT BEHIND HER SHOULDER.

>> SHE'S TUSHING.

YOU FEEL GOOD?

PUT IT RIGHT IN THE POCKET JUSTED LIKE WE PRACTICED, OKAY?

OKAY.

(GUNSHOT).

>> GOOD SHOT, CAMPBELL.

>> DID I GET IT?

>> YOU GOT HER.

YOU DID REALLY GOOD.

REALLY GOOD.

>> RACHEL, I WAS JUST GETTING BACK INTO TOWN WHEN I GOT A CALL FROM CAMPBELL AND TOLD ME SHE HAD JUST HAD A SHOT AND MAN, SHE WAS EXCITED.

>> SHE DEFINITELY WAS EXCITED.

(PHONE RINGING).

>> HELLO.

>> HEY DAD.

>> HEY, HON.

>> GUESS WHAT?

>> WHAT?

>> WE GOT ONE.

>> YOU GOT ONE?

>> YEAH.

>> THAT IS SO EXCITING.

>> YEAH.

>> AS SOON AS CAMPBELL SHOT AND I WAS WATCHING WITH MY BINOCULARS AND IT WAS A GREAT SHOT AND THE BLOOD TRAILING WOULD BE A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR HER.

WE STARTED HER AT THE HIT SITE.

SHE WAS THE FIRST TO SEE THE BLOOD.

WE TALKED WHERE THE BLOOD WENT TOOT BRUSH AT AND SHE LED US RIGHT TO IT.

>> THERE IT IS!

>> WAY TO GO, GIRL!

GOOD JOB.

THAT'S A BIG OLD DOE.

>> RACHEL OBVIOUSLY IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE THAT WOULD I HAVE LIKED TO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR.

I'M SO HAPPY YOU WERE ABLE TO TAKE HER.

TELL ME WHAT MENTORING A HUNT MEANT FOR YOU.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR FIRST DEER IS LIKE.

I THINK I WAS SHAKING MORE MORE CAMPBELL WAS.

>> FOR YEAR AFTER YEAR, SHE HAS WANTED TO GO.

WE HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT TOGETHER.

YOU STEPPED IN AND HAVE MADE A LASTING MEMORY FOR HER.

I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

>> IT WAS A LASTING MEMORY FOR ME, TOO, CHAD, SOMETHING I THINK EVERYBODY WOULD ENJOY IF THEY JUST TAKE A KID OR ADULT OUT HUNTING.

>> SHARING MY PASSION FOR SMALL MOUTH FISHING WITH MY SON LEO IS ONE OF MY HIGHLIGHTS OF 2020.

LEO, YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT TODAY.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS IN THE WORLD IS TO BE DO UNHERE ON DALE HOLLOW LAKE FISHING.

WE ARE DOWN WITH YOU AND YOUR GUYS WITH KENTUCKY TENNESSEE FISHING GUIDES AND TO TAKE A KID OUT HERE TO CATCH A SMALL MOUTH USING LIVE BAIT IS THE WAY TO DO IT, ISN'T IT.

>> THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.

I DON'T WANT TO BURN HIM OUT.

I WANT HIM TO BE MY FISHING BUDDY THE REST OF OUR LIVES.

>> WE HAD A GOOD DAY YESTERDAY, 18 PLUS FISH ON LIVE BAIT GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN TODAY.

>> I'LL SHOW YOU HOW WE HOOK 'EM UP.

>> GET A GOOD SIZED ONE OUT HERE.

GOING TO HOLD 'EM.
