Congrats , you won the youtube award for talking ( 3 hours) without stopping for more than 2 seconds , Heads of Justin ;-) I wish you a complete ALBINO catfish !!!!

[@jamescardwell3254]

Love these unedited videos. I I can't think of anything I'd rather be watching or doing. Well, maybe soaking baits myself and watching KyakCatfish. I greatly appreciate all the content you bring to us, and all the effort you put into sharing knowledge that's taking you years of trial and error to learn yourself. There is no other channel that compares to yours for a new catfisher to gather knowledge and have success if they put their time in.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you James!

[@jamesdurham5387]

You're welcome Justin. I don't understand idiots that have to comment stupid stuff about the length of a video especially when everyone who watches you on the regular know you will put a shorter highlight film from this trip on your other channel.

[@leerose9933]

James, that was perfectly put!

Well saw your vacation video Lake Ida, I was born and raised in Palm Beach Gardens Florida for 63 yrs , my parents were from Danville Virginia and my mom from stokes County King North Carolina and my cousin lives within sight of Dale Hollow reservoir! I happen to see a few of your cat fishing videos by accident while watching BASS elite series but , To be honest I’ve guided and U think bass fishing has killed lots of big fish in miss handling and not releasing fish right after catching, but a whole bother subjectand you are always laughing and plenty to say, so I appreciate your channel on KZbin! I’ll keep watching never bored! Disabled and wish I could Go fishing in. A kayak, looks fun Take care Kent!

Great Video!! Hope you won in Vegas. Content GREAT as always and was wondering if bringing that bait against current causes it to bounce and move more giving off more scent opposed to going with current going along for the ride.Can't wait for the next video!!

I used to live in Los Vegas, if you want to win some money go over to Fremont Street, thats old Los Vegas. I used to clean up over there. The strip is a slotter house. Just sayn. Lord knows you deserve a great time!!! You earned it my friend!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

I always stay on Fremont for that very reason. I have never won anything on the strip.

[@justinsigmon1878]

Wish I could buy some skip jack from someone like you. I suck at catching bait most days here in NC. Catch a couple gizzard shad but not every time.

[@davidnewton3064]

Ahhhhhh! Roll Tide! Sponsored by Tampax!

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Man JJ I love to talk garden and tillers. I’m gonna be posting pictures of our garden in your Kayak Catfish page comments🙈. We got smaller tractor and I been looking for a tiller for it but I have 2 other rear tine I have had for years before I had a tractor. Our garden is like 60x60 and we have a few raised beds too. I give my neighbors a ton of food and we can a bunch too in the fall I got a basement full of all kind of canned stuff. Honestly we are making green bean casserole from our own home grown beans this weekend And it’s all organic I use no pesticide or herbicide. We make a pretty stout soil and just let the plant uptake the food as it needs.

[@KayakCatfish]

Sounds like you have a great setup.

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

@@KayakCatfish thanks bro it’s not the latest and greatest but I’m definitely proud of it. It has the front loader on it and that was a real game changer. made life much easier out there in the garden. I just love being outside too after being cooped up all winter too 😂😊

Early 😄, this is going to be a long one but I know it's going to be a good one

What reels are you using in the video, they look like they can handle anything. Awesome day it looks like to me .

[@nahnisjourney1406]

26:57 Six ride to your two! 😂😂😂

[@lelandhopkins2433]

The best thing is just being on the water, enjoy, relax, and see what happens...I'm getting good info, just listening to you explain....What reels do you use.

[@KayakCatfish]

I use Shimano Tekota 600 reels

[@andybass2045]

If you get there early enough on tournament day are you able to pfe fish before lines in I fought just curious

[@KayakCatfish]

We can get on the water at any time but we can’t have lines in until the start of the tournament

[@swoodall5324]

I've watched a million hours of your shenanigans .... and enjoyed them all. QUESTION: I watch quite a few of the Tennessee River guys and you all used to catch a lot more Stripers even as recently as 2 years ago. I can't remember the last time you (or Catfish Dave, or others) have hooked up a Striper. Have they had a problem in the watershed or river system there?

[@KayakCatfish]

I used to catch them more frequently when I casted baits out and let them sit on bottom. I mostly suspend baits or drag now so I don’t get them very often anymore.

[@faronmastin8683]

You say its like were fishing together on these types of videos but I can't get a word in edgewise lol

[@lelandhopkins2433]

Yay, fish on.....

[@jefferymullins3281]

Hey Justin I been watching you for a while now and I love the content. My big question is how often do you get skunked.

[@KayakCatfish]

It happens a few times per year. More often in the winter than in other seasons

[@bernaduskailemakurfishing]

Greetings coming from Indonesia, healthy greetings, always continue to strike and greetings from fellow anglers

[@MrHurricane1405]

Do you go with the current when you drift with your 10 oz weights?

[@KayakCatfish]

If I am drifting with the current, I am usually suspending baits. I typically use 8 ounce sinkers when suspending.

[@andybass2045]

I can remember when Kingdom Hospital with Steven King came out we was in that big time

[@davidnewton3064]

So Ive watched this video about 4 times. Even went out and tried to replicate this technique and I had some issues. 1. When following these contour lines how do you keep the lines behind you from getting tangled up? Do you just make very gradual turns? 2. Depth changes? Do you have so much lines out that you still dont come up off the bottom if the depth changes say 5 or 8 feet?

[@KayakCatfish]

The lines behind you shouldn’t get tangled unless a fish gets in another line while reeling it in. You do want to keep your turns gradual. I mostly drag in places like ledges where I don’t have to turn much. Your sinker should keep your bait down when the depth changes. If it isn’t, then you either need a heavier sinker or you need to let out more line.

[@lelandhopkins2433]

50 min in, another eater, with jig...Very nice

[@keithdocreed]

Was hoping for a kayak catfish video. Off work and kicked back ready for a flathead.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Keith! I expect to get on some flatheads soon

Corn takes a lot of nitrogen and with short rows needs to at least 10 rows wide. For good corn get a soil analysis from the county agent.

What kind of life vest do you use? I'm looking for something a bit more comfortable this year. Thanks! Edit: Love the conspiracy stories and Walking Dead talk. I'd be a Shane as well.

Airport rental fees are the highest in town. That’s why their prices are so high. You have to remember, airports are the first experience for visitors seeing that particular city. $$$$ = being the first face of a city. I worked for LRAA for years dealing with rental fees, bids, etc.

[@fletcherreed3259]

If you can’t take the heat don’t compete. I bank it 100% of the time. I’ll have 4-5 rods max. Bass dudes act like that’s a lot with their 5000 lures they try per day. Planer boards are useful but not for everyone

[@angelmelko]

In West Australia, we are only allowed 2 fishing lines/rods active per person. Its kind of silly having more than 2 rods at a time anyway.

I heard Brian Latimer say pro bass tournament entry fee was $5000 you didn't even win enough for entry fee. Also probably one of your fish weighed more than their whole 5 fish limit.😅😅😅😅
