PRUN 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.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS ABOUT FISHING A RIVER IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH, AND THAT IS ESPECIALLY TRUE ON THE OHIO RIVER AT THE LOCK AND DAM.

HARD ON YOUR BONES OUT HERE.

>> THIS ROCK LEDGE HAS BEEN HERE A COUPLE MILLION YEARS.

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

>> NO.

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

YOU TAKE WHATEVER BITES, RIGHT?

>> I THINK GLOW WHAT DO YOU THINK THE POTENTIAL IS TODAY.

WHAT KIND OF FISH.

>> THE STRIPERS OR HYBRID STRIPERS.

AND HOPEFULLY WE GET INTO SOME BLUE CATS TODAY, TOO.

>> DRUM, CARP, GAR ARE POSSIBILITIES.

>> A STURGEON OR SPOON BILL.

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

EVERYTHING IS HOT.

NOT A LOT OF FLOW BUT HAVE YOU OXYGENATED COOLER WATER COMING THROUGH SO IF WE CAN FIND US A GOOD POCKET, WE MAY SMASH 'EM.

I JUST WALKED STRAIGHT OUT IN HERE AND SEE HOW SLIPPERY IT REALLY IS TODAY.

WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE FISH I WOULD LIKE TO CATCH.

ALWAYS A GOOD BET RUNNING A SWIM BAIT.

CATFISH WILL STRIKE ON IT.

>> I HAVE TWO TIED ON.

READY FOR THAT.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE THIS JACKET.

JUST GRAB WHAT WE NEED.

WE CAN COME BACK IF WE FORGET SOMETHING.

>> YEAH, WE ARE PRETTY CLOSE.

WHAT AREA DO YOU LIKE TO FISH?

I LIKE TO FIND THE GROUPS OF ASIAN CARP AND THEN LOOK INTO THE RAPID A LOT OF TIMES THE PREDATOR FISH ARE UNDERNEATH THEM.

>> WE ARE LITERALLY TRYING TO FOCUS AND FIND THE CARP.

>> THEY'RE EASY TO PICK OUT WITH THE DORSAL FIN.

I HAVE A LOT OF LUCK USING THE SWIM.

>> A BUDDY OF MINE SHOWED ME THAT TRICK YEARS AGO.

TOOK A SWIM BLADDER OUT OF ONE.

LIKE FISHING WITH A SQUID.

PHENOMENAL CATFISH BAIT.

WE WANT TO MAKE CUT BAIT, WE CAN'T GO WRONG.

LET'S CATCH A FISH I DON'T KNOW MA THIS IS, BUT IT'S STRONG LOOKS LIKE A BIG DRUM OR SOMETHING LOOK AT THAT.

DID YOU THIS THING HAVE DRAG ON IT THAT'S A CATFISH THERE THAT'S AN ASIAN CARP HOOKED RIGHT IN THE MOUTH IT LOOKS LIKE THE FISH INTENTIONALLY TRIED TO EAT THE BAIT.

THESE ARE BUILTER FEEDERS AND DON'T HAVE A SYSTEM SUITED TO EAT A BAIT FISH LIKE THAT.

THESE ARE AN INVASIVE SPECIES.

DO YOU MIND TAKING THE BLADDER OUT OF THAT?

SURE.

IF WE CAN GET THAT OUT, WE'LL GET A CATFISH LINE OUT IN A MINUTE SWEET THAT'S WHY I'M LETTING HIM DO THE WALKING.

THAT WAS BAD THERE WILL BE MORE OF THOSE TO COME.

I PROMISE YOU I GOT A CAROLINA RIG.

ONE OUNCE WITH A BEAD TO PROTECT MY KNOT DOWN HERE ABOVE THE SWIVEL.

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

GOING TO RUN THIS SWIM BLADDER OUT OF THE ASIAN CARP WE CAUGHT A FEW MINUTES AGO.

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

HOPEFULLY WE GET A FEW GOOD FISH OUT OF THIS.

>> WHAT WAS THAT?

>> I THINK IT'S A CARP.

LOOKS LIKE BLADDERS ARE CHEAP TODAY.

CRAZY THAT THERE ARE THAT MANY OUT THERE THAT WE ARE HOOKING THEM IN THE MOUTH.

>> DID HE BREAK IT?

>> I HAD A GOOD BITE.

I DON'T KNOW WHY THE LINE BROKE.

>> THERE WE GO.

WHAT WE GOT HERE?

DID YOU SEE THAT THING JUMPING IN?

MAKE IT REAL APPEALING.

IF I WAS A CATFISH I WOULD EAT THAT EVERYTHING UP IN THERE.

TOOK THE DOWNSTREAM ASIAN CARP JUMPING AWAY FROM ME OH MAN, THAT'S A GOOD ONE THIS IS GOING TO BE SOMETHING TO SEE IF CAN I GET THIS FISH IN OH MY GOD!

HE IS WAY OUT THERE IN THE CURRENT.

IT LOOKS LIKE A STANDOFF IF YOU CAN'T COME DOWN HERE AND ENJOY, THIS YOU DON'T LIKE FISHING.

WE HAVE TO HOPE HE WANTS TO COME THIS WAY.

THIS IS A 25-POUNDER AND HE IS OUT THERE IN THAT CURRENT A LITTLE FURTHER, BOB IS GOING TO NEED HIS MISSOURI FISHING LICENSE.

IT JUST BROKE.

THE LINE SNAPPED.

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

I SAW YOU HOOKED UP.

I SAID I BETTER GET A BIG STICK.

RAN STRAIGHT FOR THE CURRENT.

TOOK ME DOWNSTREAM WITH HER.

HARD TO BEAT.

THAT THING IS 15 POUNDS OR BETTER.

YOU WANT TO HAVE SOME EXCITEMENT.

GET A MOVING CURRENT AND YOU 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.

HE GOT HOOKED.

THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL FISH.

THAT'S A LONG NOSE GAR BLUE CATFISH, DRUM, ASIAN CARP AND BUFFALO.

S GOTTA GET SOME MORE GUMMY BEARS MOUTHFUL OF GUMMY BEARS KEEP YOU GOING.

HALF GONE DOWN HALF COMING BACK UP.

EVERY CAST I'M GETTING A BITE AND IT'S LIKE PLAYING ROULETTE.

WHAT KIND OF FISH IS THIS GOING TO BE?

THAT ONE IS A DRUM THAT IS A GOOD ONE.

>> PRETTY FISH TOO THOUGH.

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

THE CATFISH ARE SETTING RIGHT BELOW THEM THEY'RE SO INCREDIBLY STRONG AND FUN TO CATCH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WE CAUGHT TODAY THE WATER DEPTH WAS PERFECT TO CATCH A BOAT LOAD OF THESE BLUE CATFISH AND WE CAUGHT THEM ALL ALMOST ALL ON SWIM BAITS AND BLADDERS OUT OF THE ASIAN CARP.

WHAT A PRETTY FISH THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING ME UP.

HOW DID YOU STAY DRY?

>> I'M NOT SURE.

I THINK THE PREPARATION, EXPECTING TO BE WET KEPT ME DRY TODAY.

>> WE GOT ABOUT A 200-YARD HIKE.

HOPEFULLY WE STAY UP RIGHT AND GET BACK IN THE CANOE AND HEAD OUT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK.

>> GOOD PLAN.

>> WELL WORTH THE TRIP.

>> ARE YOU LOOKING FOR GREAT FAMILY FUN?

MAYBE CONSIDER CATCHING BULL FROGS.

IT HAS BEEN A MONTH.

I'M SEARCHING THE INTERNET AND I SEE CRAZY GIRLS WHO LIKE TO GRAB FROGS BY HAND.

>> CRAZY.

>> HERE WE ARE FROG GIGGING SEASON IS IN.

WARM NIGHT IN MONTGOMERY COUNTY AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

>> GIG SOME FROGS.

>> SHOOT THEM WITH A BOW AND ARROW, WHATEVER IT TAKES THIS POND HAS NOT BEEN GIGGED FOR A FEW YEARS.

SEASON IS THIRD FRIDAY IN MAY TO OCTOBER 31.

YOU WANT TO HIT THE PONDS BEFORE EVERYBODY GETS OUT AND GETS ON THEM.

OR ANY LIVESTOCK OUT, IT'S NOT GOOD.

THEY EAT IT DOWN AND GET SKITTISH AND RUN OFF.

IT HAS BEEN A WHILE.

I USED TO GET OUT EVERY FLIES WEEKEND NIGHT.

I'M EXCITED TO DO THIS WITH YOU GIRLS.

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT ONE.

NICE.

NICE JOB.

THERE YOU GO.

NICE.

YOU BOTH GOT FROGS GOING TO THROW IT BACK.

THEY'RE TOO SMALL BUT THEY'RE FUN TO CATCH.

FEISTY, TOO.

SO THESE LITTLE JOKERS IN A YEAR OR TWO ARE GOING TO BE BIG AND NICE.

SO I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THE FIRST ONE WE SAW.

I NEED TO YOU MAKE SURE I DON'T GO SWIMMING.

>> NICE SHOT.

YOU GOT THAT THING PINNED.

[LAUGHTER] >> THERE WE GO.

I DIDN'T LOSE THE FROG.

>> GET THE FROG!

>> YOU DID NOT LOSE THE FROG I'M ABOUT TO BREAK YOUR GIG FOR REAL SOME PEOPLE GO TO REALLY EXPENSIVE SPAS TO GET MUD BATHS LIKE THIS.

>> WELL, HE GOT OFF.

HE WAS ON THERE THOUGH.

>> HE WAS.

>> WHAT ARE YOU GOING DO WITH THIS ONE?

>> TURN HIM LOOSE.

CATCHING PLENTY BY HAND, THAT'S FOR SURE.

WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THIS ONE ANOTHER YEAR OR TWO GOT 'EM.

NICE JOB.

>> ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SEE.

>> THERE'S ONE RIGHT THERE YOU GIRLS HAVE GREAT FROG GIGGING ENTHUSIASM.

ANOTHER ONE.

THERE YOU GO.

THEY'RE EVER WHERE IN HERE MUCH.

>> I WILL SAY ONE THING, THIS POND IS PLUM FLOATED WITH FROGS.

WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE WERE GOING TO GET THEM.

WE TRIED WITH THE BOW AND ARROW.

TOO THICK.

WE GRAB SOME BIG ONES AND GIGGED SOME BIG ONES.

WE GOT 30 FROGS.

>> OR MORE.

>> I THINK LAST WE COUNTED WAS 35.

A HECK OF A NIGHT OUT AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY IS THE PLACE TO COME FOR FROGS BEE GOT PLENTY OF FROGS.

THANKS AGAIN.

A LOT OF FROGS.

>> DEER SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER AND MANY HUNTERS ARE STARTING TO HANG THEIR STANDS.

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND YOU HANG THE LOCK ON STAND SAFELY.

NOW I'M GOING TO DEMONSTRATE HOW YOU WOULD ATTACH A LOCK ON STAND.

CHOSE A TREE RIGHT HERE THIS TREE WAS HARD TO CLIMB WITH A CLIEPING STYLE STAND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF BRANCHES ON IT.

I HAVE ATTACHED THE FIRST TWO STEPS BECAUSE THESE I CAN DO FROM THE GROUND.

THE NEXT PROCESS IS TO CLIMB UP ATTACHED NEXT STEP, PULL MY STAND UP AND ATTACH THAT AND I'M GOING TO DO IT, ATTACHED TO THE TREE.

FIRST THING YOU NEED IS A GOOD PULL ROPE SO I'LL ATTACH THE SPRING TO ME, GO DOWN AROUND FIVE FEET SAPPED ATTACH THE NEXT STEP ONCE THAT IS DONE, I'LL GO DOWN TO THE END OF MY ROPE AND ACTUALLY ATTACH THE TREE STAND I'M GOING TO BE HANGING I'M READY TO ATTACH MYSELF TO THE TREE AND GO UP THE LADDER AND PULL MY NEXT SET OF STEPS UP.

TO STAY ATTACHED TO THE TREE, I'M LOSING A LINEMAN'S BELT HERE TO USE THIS, YOU CAN SEE MY SAFETY HARNESS HAS THE LOOPS ON BOTH SIDES AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS FOR YOU RUN IT THROUGH ONE OF THE LOOPS AND THAT CREATES THE ATTACHMENT POINT ON ONE SIDE.

YOU WANT TO GO AROUND THE TREE NOW I CAN ADJUST HOW TIGHT I AM TO THE TREE BY PULLING ON THE KNOT.

I CAN GET TIGHT OR I CAN BACK OFF THE TREE A LITTLE MORE DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND HOW FAR OR HOW CLOSE I WANT TO BE TO IT SO I CLIMB UP THE LADDER, WORKING THIS AROUND AND I CAN LEAN BACK UP TO THIS POINT RIGHT HERE.

I WANT TO THEN FIND THE ROPE THAT I HAVE GOT MY NEXT STEP ATTACHED TO, WHICH IS RIGHT HERE.

AND PULL IT ON UP I'LL DETACH MY ROPE AND LET IT FALL TO THE GROUND IT'S ATTACHED TO ME.

SLIDE THIS ON.

>> ONCE YOU GET THIS ON, I WANT TO GO AND ATTACH THIS STEP.

AND PULL IT TIGHT READY TO MOVE ON UP THE TREE.

SO AS YOU MOVE UP THE TREE IF YOU HAVE LIMBS LIKE THIS, YOU GO IT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU GO GO ANY FURTHER MAKE SURE YOU USE THREE POINTS OF CONTACT.

I HAVE TWO FOO FEET, TWO HANDS UNTIE THIS, UNTETHER MYSELF AND THEN PULL MYSELF UP AND OVER AND AROUND THE LIMBS USING THREE POINTS OF CONTACT I STILL HAVE MY FEET AND THEN REATTACH MYSELF AND PROCEED ON UP THE TREE.

THE NEXT STEP, WHAT I WANT TO DO IS TO PULL THE STAND UP AND GET IT ATTACHED.

YOU CAN SEE WHY LINEMAN'S BELT IS SO IMPORTANT.

I HAVE TWO HANDS TO MANIPULATE THE STAND AND PUT IT WHERE I WANT IT OTHERWISE THAT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE NOW I'VE GOT MY STAND WHERE I WANT IT.

IT'S IN POSITION.

I NEED TO TAKE THE STRAPS, WRAP THEM AROUND AND HOOK THEM UP.

NOW I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND ATTACH MY TOP STRAP AND START TO PULL IT SNUG.

SO THE LAST THING YOU WANT TO DO TO SNUG THIS THING DOWN REAL GOOD IS TO LIFT YOUR PLATFORM UP AND PULL YOUR BELTS TIGHT.

ONCE YOU GET THAT DONE WHEN YOUR BASE HITS THE TREE, IT IS GOING TO PULL THEM TIGHT.

I'M LOCKED IN AND REALLY, REALLY TIGHT SO THE NEXT THING I NEED TO DO IS TO ATTACH MY TETHER ABOVE THE STAND SO I CAN HOOK INTO IT.

I'M GOING TO STEP UP ONE MORE STEP STILL ATTACHED TO THE TREE WITH MY LINEMAN'S BELT AND GO AHEAD AND ATTACH MY TETHER.

I CAN ADJUST THIS TO THE RIGHT HEIGHT WHEN I GET IN.

RIGHT NOW I HAVE THAT ATTACHED IN THERE VERY TIGHT.

WANT TO GO AHEAD AND GRAB MY CARABINER ON MY SAFETY HARNESS AND LOCK IN AND REMEMBER TO SCREW IT BACK IN ON THERE SO IT CAN'T OPEN UP.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR ME TO TAKE THE LINEMAN'S BELT OFF AND STEP INTO THE STAND.

SO I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND UNSCREW THIS OVER HERE AND DETACH MYSELF FROM THE LINEMAN'S BELT REMEMBER, I ATTACH THE TETHER UP HERE FIRST SO THAT I'M ALWAYS CONNECTED TO THE TREE NOW MY LINEMAN'S BELT IS FREE AND CLEAR AND I CAN GO AHEAD AND STEP IN NOW THAT I'M IN THE STAND, I NEED TO GET MY TETHER UP ABOUT HEAD HEIGHT.

UNFORTUNATELY I GOT ALL THESE LIMBS IN THE WAY SO HAVE I TWO OPTIONS.

I CAN SAW ALL THESE LIMBS OFF AND SLIDE IT UP OR REATTACH MY LINEMAN'S BELT SO THAT I CAN DETACH TO THE TETHER AND RAISE IT UP TO WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE.

I'M GOING TO GO FOR OPTION TWO BECAUSE THESE ARE A LOT OF LIMBS TO SAW.

NOW I AM REATTACHED TO THE TREE USING MY LINEMAN'S BELT.

I'M GOING TO DETACH FROM MY TEDS TETHER AND PUT IT INTO THE APPROPRIATE POSITION.

I GOT MY STRAP BACK UP HERE ATTACHED TIGHTLY TO THE TREE.

NOW I'M GOING TO RECONNECT AGAIN AND AFTER THIS, I SHOULDN'T NEED MY LINEMAN'S BELT AGAIN UNTIL IT'S TIME TO GET DOWN SO I AM TIED IN, TETHERED IN, MY STAND IS READY, ATTACHED, I'M READY FOR MY HUNT.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU WHY YOU WANT THIS TEDSER REALLY HIGH ON THIS PARTICULAR STAND, IF I WAS TO REACH DOWN AND GRAB MY BOW AND I WAS TO SLIDE OUT, YOU CAN SEE I I AM LITERALLY SUSPENDED AND HANGING.

I'M COMPLETELY SUSPENDED BECAUSE I GOT THAT THING IN THE RIGHT POSITION IT GIVERS ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET MY FEET UNDERNEATH ME AND STAND BACK UP IF I HAD THIS THING DOWN HERE AND I FELL OUT, I WOULD BE BELOW THE STAND AND I WOULD BE IN A SITUATION WHERE WITH A LOT OF CLOTHES ON, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS COLD WEATHER, TRYING TO PULL THE STAND AND PULL MYSELF UP AND OVER IT CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU WANT TO AVOID THAT.

DEER SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

WE'VE SHOWN YOU THE SAFE WAY TO USE THESE TYPES OF CLIMBING AND LOCK ON STANDS A LOT OF TIMES YOU ARE IN THE HURRY WANT TO GET IN THE WOODS, MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE SAFETY PROCEDURES YOU'LL HAVE A SAFE SEASON AND RETURN HOME TO YOUR FAMILY AFTER THE HUNT.

>> LETH CHECK IN AND SEE WHO ELSE HAS BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEK'S ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.
