Anyone who enjoys the out doors needs a tarp in their gear bag. One of the most underrated survival items that doesn't take up that much room in your pack. Great video keep them coming!

[@betoreyna4293]

Hey it’s not all in the catching but the joy of the experience… keeping real is a blessing.. good job bud

Thanks for putting the skunk in, most KZbinrs wouldn’t do that. Really enjoy your videos. Been catfising lakes for a while, but am just getting into river fishing and LOVE it! Stay safe and tight lines! ✌️🎣

Glad ya enjoyed it man. Good luck out there!

[@akilla4reala669]

@@RiverCertified I will. While I have your ear. Maybe six months to a year ago, (not sure, horrible with keeping time like that). You were fishing somewhere and caught a fish that looks like a mix between a red tail catfish and a tiger shovelnose. I’ve looked for that video and can’t find it. Do you know the video I’m referring to? Thanks for your time, dude.

[@rickbaker4043]

I remember one of your first vids you were in your kayak seeping right on the edge of the bank that morning you had a monster and he got off boy you were disappointed but had a good time glad your still hard at it nice vid as always 🦃🐟🇱🇷

[@RiverCertified]

I remember that like it was yesterday. Glad ya enjoy the videos man!

[@troy1594]

I know which one your talking about. Had me hooked from then on

[@TheDetroitman20]

I find when carp spawn the bite is off. And the video isn't complete without cooking some fish or something. Truly the best fishing channel I watch and have seen. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏽👊🏽✊🏽☺💯

[@RiverCertified]

I've had some really good trips when the carp are spawning and some real bad ones, so I go either way haha. I appreciate all the support man!

[@SuperDorph]

Man, that sky while you were not catching bait was picturesque. Your "survival" strategies were great to watch. Sometimes it's all about the journey...

[@dalewood5964]

Hey Spencer. Normally I don't talk about my fishing because you are at such a higher level than myself. I noticed in the video it was full moon. If it was this past weekend then I call it shell cracker moon. Here in South Carolina , they are spawning. Got to a lake Saturday morning 7:00 am. Caught 30 in 4 hours. Kept the 10 biggest for my brother who is coming from Texas soon. He always expects that. I hold the lake record for large mouth at 9 pounds on this small lake in Aiken SC. Sunday morning I get to an inlet on lake Murray, ready to catch catfish for myself to eat. Get there at 7:00 and the bass are going crazy. I put 3 poles with cut bait for catfish for 4 hours and did not catch anything. Caught 10 more bream on 1 small pflueger reel but threw them back except 4 small ones I kept for bait. I started thinking about all I have learned from you including that you don't like to fish on bright moon's. So I caught 8 Bass and about 40 nice bream/ shell cracker in 8 hours of fishing and not 1 catfish. Of course my catfish rods are Penn 5000 with 20 pound mono. I like the 10 pounders, got some in the freezer. So what I have learned from you and the weekend is, I think you are right. Sorry for the long comment but It was not just you. In my mind I thought I would catch catfish. Have to take what the lake gives you. Thank you so much for all you have taught me and I fish at least 1 time a week almost year round. I retire in a couple of years and then it's game on.

Watching you cook up catfish reminds me of the ONLY time I have every tried to cook catfish I caught out of Utah Lake. I didnt see anything wrong when cleaning it, but less than a minute after it hit a frying pan, a bunch of little flat tan-ish colored worms started wriggling out of the meat....I went hungry that night. gladly.

I laughed out loud when I read the title, my brother and I had a similar experience when we were young. We went on many weekend trips in the mountains by our house. One time we ate all our food on day 1 and couldn't catch a fish in the creek to save our lives. We resorted to building fish traps and even spears, but still could not feed ourselves. Hunger drove us home after day 2, saying it was just too hot to stay out. We talked about food all the way on our 12-mile hike back home!

[@bryanthalley1131]

Being an ex weather man for the air force, you outta look into the basics of reading a TAF(terminal aerodrome forecast). They're encoded for pilots, but the basic info you need is super easy to learn. Local forecasts usually give a forecast for a large area. With TAF's, you get a point forecast for a single location(usually an airfield or base). Will give winds, cloud coverage and height, beginning and end of precip, temp and pressure. Can be pretty handy! And free to access.

[@mikem201]

Everybody has trips like that. With the cold front blowing thru and the barometer doing a nosedive I'm not surprised you didn't do well. That lightning would have had me lookin' for a hole to hide in, to heck with the fish!
