I know this comment is early in the video. I can't help it bananas and boats don't go together, but then again, we're watching a video, so something worked out. I hope you knocked it out of the park and had a great day out.

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Thank you Justin for your videos! You help bring my son and I closer together with fishing and watching you! Great work!

[@Retiredcop052]

Hey Justin ….. I think you know I’m a disabled retired cop up here in Connecticut. I appreciate ALL the time and work you put in your videos. You have taught me so much about catfishing and love my new catfish sumo rod. I went from catching bullheads to catching 30 pound channels. I know you do not like channels however when they’re this big, it’s an awesome fight. And yes 30 pounds 51 inches. We do not have flats or blues here. Anyways, do not block ESSAY man, lol. I want to troll him. Ret. Dan

[@KayakCatfish]

I will admit larger channels are pretty fun to catch. Other than the snakes and the stench from rotting fish, I enjoyed my time on Sandusky Bay catching channels.

[@sheltonfishing3656]

You are wearing em out. And I think they were wearing you out 😂

[@RoadAnglerTV]

Man you tell that dude writing that essay about them worms! 😂

[@james4598]

You been catching more catfish on that soybean mix than carp lol

[@JustSynetta]

Attempting to watch this video for the third time. I usually just listen until I see you catch something. But your voice puts me to sleep earlier lately. I mean that in a good way. Not that you’re boring because I love listening to your stories. It’s soothing in some way. Anywho, I only bank fish and can’t wait to go out this week since the temperatures in Nebraska are coming down.

[@ofgodandman7337]

Hey Justin...when I am down in the lower 48 and go carp/buffalo fishing, I mix my liquids up in a blender with the fluid from a can of Tuna (the tuna is for a casserole) and it makes a really nice fish-oil slick that the buffalo seem to like really well! BTW...using the stinger fly set-up for Halibut here in Alaska and it is a game changer!

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s awesome! Thanks! I’ll pass on the info about the flies working on Halibut to Catfish Sumo

[@christopherbarnard5605]

I ordered a feeder, and hooks with a hair rig, went to Walmart and bought the pack bait ingredients…. Cast my line and turned my head for a second, whole pole gone! In the water. I jumped in, grabbed it and reeled in a beautiful mirror carp!! That was fun! Thank you!

[@KayakCatfish]

Glad you got your rod back! Congrats on that mirror carp.

[@Greenmaninthedesert]

I think one of the biggest drawbacks of the internet is that damn near anyone can type damn near anything with no fear of consequences. People will type things they'd never consider saying face to face for fear of getting a justified poke in the nose.

Thanks Justin you are a very admirable person

[@dbc1746]

Justin, I have had the same issue with worms. I dug out an old soft sided lunch I put one of the little reusable ice packs and just keep them In their container in the bag from the time I leave until I get home. Worm problem solved.

[@andybass2045]

Good morning Justin. All this time I have been a member I thought I would never see you with a banana in the boat how funny is that

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Never say never I suppose

[@NatureFly7234]

I filmed a carp fishing video featuring the stuff you used in your carp raw and uncut videos. I plugged your channel. Thanks for all you do!

[@pigsandapples]

Thanks for another great vid man! Great to see another experimental rig (like you did successfully with the flies on your suspend rigs). We fish in the salt water with bread and it's surprising the number of different species we catch. Fish that normally eat a shrimp bait or cut bait will often fall for a bread/dough-ball bait. The trick is to make sure it's fresh. For morning sessions I knock on the door of my local baker before opening time and buy fresh bread for bait and he gives me stale bread for chum. And thanks for the shout out!

[@darrelllitherland8880]

i don't know about anyone else but id love to see the build . i am a tinker at heart lol

[@Poor.and.Bruised.of.Spirit]

Love watching your videos with my 6 year old boy. We have gone carp fishing this summer after watching your videos. After catching carp, he no longer wants to catch bluegill. 😂 I also think that it doesn't matter to much on the baot or attractant for the carp as long as it's fruit flavored.

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

I think I've caught up on all the videos now. Seeing that banana got me worried that Daniel finally got to you lol. Great video, as always! Have a blessed night!

Just finishing up the last video on tv and got this notification about this video. When I saw the banana in the thumbnail the 1st thing I thought he has lost his mind and can't blame Daniel about hiding a banana on the kayak.😂😂😂😂

Haha! I will still blame him for something

You sure are dam right about the phones. And I go bk to things I had as a kid. All the same super Nintendo games and console are something I got and I don't play any other game systems. Nothing wrong with going bk to good memories

[@jamescardwell3254]

I've agervated you to death, but just an idea on more carp being there versus the other creeks. Maybe the creek feed itself is longer giving it more washoff flow through when it rains, which in theory would produce more food for them. I'm not sure, just a thought. Who really knows. We all know the more food supply in an area, the more fish or deer or any other animal species for that matter. Your thought if you have one. Thanks for taking us along on what has been a great trip so far. Please let me know if I'm getting annoying with the multiple comments as we go. I don't want to do that at all , and surly as long as I've been watching you know I want be upset.Tell me the truth please. This is one thing I miss about live streams is being able to communicate with each other and other channel subs. All in all, I understand this is a lot easier for you, and I love the longer videos also.

[@josephwolf5625]

I've always heard bananas on a boat is bad luck

[@heavymckean4891]

3 Cups cornmeal 2 Cups WATER 1 Jello PKG (your choice of flavor) ACTIVATED YEAST PKG (SECRET KEY INGREDIENT) Nuke it for 2 min stirring occasionally Until the mixture becomes THICK Careful not to over cook. Creates nice stiff dough bait. As you mentioned carp love bread!! Yeast

[@Thecliffy1]

When your surfing videos look up zig rigs. It’s all about floating up baits off the bottom for carp. Better to watch it done/explained than me writing an essay to explain it 😂.

[@andybass2045]

13 hours in and you have over 28 k views way to go my friend

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Andy!

[@heavymckean4891]

Mulberries during the Berry season. I have caught so many fish under overhanging mulberry trees.

[@spiralhead]

Justin, you can get a food processor to blitz some white bread to make breadcrumbs for pack bait. That is cheaper than panko crumbs.

[@annecarol5568]

It's crazy how many different things you can make pack bait out of. I recently used expired cheez-its and apple sauce!

[@Fisherman_David661-p4f]

Hi Justin. I personally use a bread combination setup and really have a good hookup ratio. The rig set-up is a bit different though. Once it's done you'll have a cookie dough consistency. If your trying different set-ups, maybe this would be one you'd like to try out?

[@youngbossmoney023]

Preach Brother 🙏

[@javynanderson1858]

I wouldn’t mind having some black berry cobbler that’s good eating right there

[@ehogsed9447]

Hey, Justin when I was a kid my uncle and I would make dough balls. We would take bread wet it a little bit ball it up with cotton balls put it on the hook.. Made a great bait for carp.

[@Lwjohnson1985]

Strange looking buffalo 😅. Great video sir

[@patrickbennett4865]

Love watching your videos first time I’ve commented but really enjoy all your content and the essay writing dead wrong guy probably hasn’t ever caught a fish he’s a keyboard genius

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Justin vintage GI Joes were 12 inches tall when they first came out in 1964 and there was only 4 of the you had a Army, Navy, Airforce and Marine one. They were called soldiers, sailor, pilot, and marine. Then they had a bunch of different outfits to put on them. That's when I played with just a few years before you. They are about $150 a piece.

[@geoffkeahey2651]

Maybe, you've found a new Blue Bait for those low cut bait situations. You only have to figure out how to keep it on when you're drag fishing.😃

[@MahliScond]

Nice🎉🎉

[@leerose9933]

I never thought I would see you fish with banana 🍌🤣. Good luck 🍀🤞 catch 100 fish 😊.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lee!

[@darrelllitherland8880]

I don't carp fish much but when i have i use peanut butter and bread. just slather some on bread and compress into a ball . mostly though i use it in inpoundments and have caught a couple cats floating it in the river . though i just fish from the bank. just a thought . lol plus if you keep it clean you have a snack lolol

[@Sleezyproyk]

What’s up man, I do a lot of tournament fishing in ponds for carp and we catch carp from lakes and rivers to stock ponds, I would like to see you try grits where u are The ingredients for the bait is * instant grits * quick 5 min grits When u mix it’s 2 parts instant and 1 part quick However much instant you use is half the amount of quick You have to make it on the lake and wet as needed it doesn’t come off as much as other packbaits and carp love it Also for the pickup try using Corn Pops cerial

[@Sleezyproyk]

Also small mouth buffalo carp love soured bait like the soybean meal is a wonderful bait but we let it set for a week to sour almost like a liquor

[@Sleezyproyk]

Also look up r&w carp juice

[@Fishing-Kayak]

I have been watching you for about a year now, love your videos. Btw , I fished carp a lot growing up in Asia ( here not so much). You are right as far carp biting on everything. If you want to try a little piece of Styrofoam on the hook - you will be impressed. The whole point of Styrofoam is to make a hook very light for carp to be able to suck up when going through your chum pile.

[@zacharyblanco6780]

You've gone 🍌 bananas love ❤️ 😍 it

[@quentinsalters9132]

Haters will say it’s fake bananas you’re using because we all know it’s impossible to catch fish with a banana in/near the kayak! Haha, hope you’re doin well Justin!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Thanks Quentin!

[@ralphwood4814]

How about that Tennessee football game today Saturday the 31st looking good.

[@KayakCatfish]

I think me and you could have beaten Chattanooga. We will get a real idea of how good we are when we play Oklahoma on the 21st.

[@jamesnolan3224]

It will also help if you dampen your hands before packing the bait. Packs a lot better

[@jamesnolan3224]

Also if you don't have banana you can add half a bottle of McCormick banana.

[@melissakhalar1842]

When the first GI Joe came out in the 1960's I was around 10 years old and he was 12 inches tall.

[@mathewtaylor8551]

Love your videos but I do have a question for you, have you heard of using chicken chunks and soaking them in Mesquite liquid smoke? I had a guy tell me that’s what he uses and he had pictures of the fish he caught using it. I have never heard of such a thing but has anyone else had luck doing that??

[@KayakCatfish]

I have heard of a bunch of different secret recipes for chicken from people claiming it’s the best bait ever. I haven’t tried most of them so I can’t speak to them being true or not.

[@karimiles5267]

I make the best key like pie 😊

[@wayneflood7002]

I use bread and vanilla extract to make a dough ball for carp. And I do really well with it

[@wayneflood7002]

Also keep up the amazing work me and my 6yr old love watching you on Saturday mornings. I am 40 years old and been fishing for catfish and carp since I was five. I know a lot. But I learned quite a bit from watching you and changing a few things to make it work in my area.

[@Fisherman_David661-p4f]

Throwing carp pack bait is the same as a bait caster. It's all muscle memory. I've had the same issues when wanting to cast it far. I've learned not to launch it, it was causing me to have to rebait

[@james4598]

You can use clover for bluegill also a giys showed me one time bit i never done it myself

[@Twistinrillos]

20:35 😂😂😂

[@tyleroleksy5240]

You can try dipping your hands in water flicking them then packing your bait onto your feeder. Little trick i do. To keep the bait on the feeder.

[@zacharyblanco6780]

Never get to chat anymore 😢hope your doing good 👍 🙏

[@ehogsed9447]

You may already know this but Nucanoe and Bonifed are made in the same factory now. The factory is not too far from you. They will give you a tour of it and you can see for yourself how both of them are made.

[@KayakCatfish]

That is definitely concerning to hear they are made in the same factory

[@d-squaredoutdoors5670]

Another option to the banana is to increase your jello ratio. It is also a binder, especially if you put it in the fridge.

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s good to know. Thanks!

[@geoffkeahey2651]

Try the doughball on the bottom with your packbait. Cheaper than worms, and a hot car won't kill it. As to the essay guy, ignore it. As my dad used to say, some folks ain't happy unless they're unhappy. Trolls are everywhere. I'm sure that as an ET nurse, you've been called worse. I remember the day my nurse partner turned loose of a drunk that we were trying to undress, and he popped me right in the nose. I was more pissed at the nurse than the drunk. The drunk wound up going to jail, More important the nurse lived and I didn't go to jail.

[@king420roach2]
