4 Hours of RAW and UNCUT Kayak Catfishing with Live Crappie

[@jpdutoit4106]

"It's better to light a flame-thrower than to curse the darkness." - Terry Pratchett. The rants are as beautiful as the sunsets. These are the reasons we keep going fishing with you.

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Thanks JP!

[@leerose9933]

I love it when you live crappie for bait!! Now the crappie fisherman can cry us a river.😂😅😊.

[@dylannorthrup6278]

Nothing better than a cat fishing video day. Keep up the great work Justin!

[@leerose9933]

I love your rants!!! Keep em up 👍

[@LadyofRockmart]

I use your uncut videos to fall asleep too and oddly enough you're the first voice that I hear when I wake up lol. I really like these raw, talkative videos

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Me too!!!

[@jasondeansmith79]

Long rant coming lol, I wanted to thank you, I’ve catfished since I was kid and You’ve helped me catch more fish by watching your show. I fish for channel cats 90% of the time but your methods work the same. I’m in shallower water but they still follow contours. But I use to watch another KZbinr who doesn’t like you but he learned from you. He won’t admit it but I remember when he got his first boat he couldn’t catch anything lol. Pretty sure he learned from you because at that time he liked you and before long he started saying the same things you were. But like always jealousy gets to people, I can only assume is why he started not liking you. Just wanted you to know I think most people have learned from you no matter what they say. I know I’m not a channel member it’s because I’m a tight wad but that doesn’t mean I don’t have the most respect for your ability! Thank you for the videos.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jason!

[@jameyadkins4522]

Thank you for the long videos. Now I don't have to keep looking for something to watch. Man that is awesome

[@d-squaredoutdoors5670]

"I am going to show no mercy on these crappie going forward." Hell yeah!!😊

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

Yes!!!

[@leerose9933]

I love what you say about your the sunrise. It's so true. Thank you 👍!

Congrats on the 1st place finish in the Mississippi tournament! Awesome job. Looking forward to seeing the video when it is put out!

[@VshackShackelford]

Hey Justin... good too see a new video....respect.. hope all is well ..I seen you got back to my wellness check on you the other day.. keep them coming.. il be here watching 😂😂❤

[@zakhenderson9197]

caught my first flathead last night much 14 pounder just started fishing this year , you got a new subscriber for life !!!❤️‍🔥

[@zakhenderson9197]

much love from oklahoma

[@phillipjohnson915]

Hey man, you are spot on with your comments/statements and I really appreciate your candor on your subjects. Depending on where I’m fishing, your topics are exactly the reason why I don’t say where I’m from. This state retains the attitude of “I’m right you’re wrong” therefore the offender of the situation must be punished for the crime that he committed. It’s an embarrassment as well as humiliating to my integrity! When a game warden is hosted by some public forum to discuss his states fishing laws, the point that they will make over and over is this’ “ Be sure to read and understand your states laws “! You are so right!

[@Fisherman_David661-p4f]

Justin, we all know that somedays are going to be good days and kill it on catching fish and of course other times there won't be any. The fact that you spent all that time letting us know about your day, letting us know about Daphne and her and what she's done and not done. You and your GF and the Asian spa is all content that we're still looking for. The fish being caught are the highlight of the videos. Seeing how much fun that you have gave me the courage to do my first live feed on IG. This is time that we have to get to hangout with you. Keeping them lines tight.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Good luck with your livestream.

[@hayseedproductions5606]

Justin , I have been a follower for a long time now. I would like to compliment you on something. You was very shy and didn’t want anyone around while you were filming , but now you are very comfortable filming and have developed the ability to hold very interesting conversations for hours now . Great work man!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! It’s still a work in progress

[@Pontoon_Catfishing]

I could listen to you talk and fish all day Justin! Great video!

[@typh00n2]

watching the last one at the end felt so good after watching the whole video. Love the content keep er goin'

[@LakeOGLife]

Hey there Jeremy we hope that you keep going on as long as you can because we will be here riding along with you to catch fish all day long ❤

[@be643]

The crappie fishermen are upset for two reasons. 1] if you or anyone else catches them, they can't catch them and feel like more of a man. 2] they are thinking with their belly and cry a solitary tear seeing a crappie being killed when all they want is to eat it.

[@nikkihayes9236]

🤭🤭

[@RobertIvey-p7v]

So true!! That’s the chicken of the freshwaters. And when u find them.. your mouths just starts watering.. then you see one going to the bottom on a hook for bait and shed a 😢

[@ChrisSmith-e4w]

I am a crappie fisherman and I will use them for bait when I go for the kitty. One of the best bait to use lol

[@dandurham4288]

Your exactly right about things

[@quyle9483]

​@RobertIvey-p7v it is far from the chicken of freshwater... I highly suggest you catch real fish and learn how to properly prepare and learn to cook fish if you want to know fish closer to chicken learn to catch pike and pickerel their meat is far superior to crappie. Crappie is just panfish after all which is good eating but far from chicken of the lake.....

[@wisdomdaddy515]

The decent fish at the end was a cherry on top..😂 Stay positive and be safe out there buddy,see ya at the next honey hole.

[@pigsandapples]

Your words about limited sunrises left (to us all) resonated with me. I've set my alarm for a dawn beach fishing session tomorrow before work. I'm on the east coast so I'll see sunrise over the water. Maybe bring home some fresh fish for dinner. Thanks as always man - I haven't watched enough yet to see if one of those live crappies got nailed but I've got my fingers crossed.

[@colemanreed6438]

Thank for another video man! I think we all appreciate the honesty behind the thoughts and feelings in your conversation with the audience. Have you seen the XTR yet?

[@KayakCatfish]

Still haven’t gotten to see the XTR in person. Hopefully the dealer I’m going to buy from will get them in stock soon.

[@christophermartin3263]

Thank you Justin, love your videos

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

Nice fun sizer at the end! I think your day and my day today were just rant days lol. It's amazing how people think the world revolves them and their opinion lol. I'm peopled out after today for the next week or more. Great video! Good luck at the tournament tomorrow! Have a blessed night.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Teri!

Justin, it's the personality and the stories that we enjoy and the fishing, but regardless fish are not, we will watch, in wrestling terms, you have the it factor.

i was staying right off of swan pond road on frost hollow the night the ash spill happened. that was a crazy night. i do love catching crappie, but i dont eat the fish. i release everything that i catch that hopefully one day that fish will bring someone as much joy as it brought me. lol. Thank you again for yet another video! i hope that you are doing well and having fun!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Cody!

[@chrisscoggins7296]

Only thing i miss from your edited video days, is your awesome intro music. It was some of the best on KZbin in my opinion. Lol

Haha! Thanks Chris! I should add that intro back in.

Well it was worth the wait till the end 2 days watching

[@fishingwithray3278]

I'm a crappie guy. I dont fish for catfish often. I have been known to use the rib cages for jug line baits.

[@givemeabreakdoc]

I would LOVE to see what these creeks looked like before they dammed the river. I fish Cordell hull on the Cumberland, and I always just look at my graph and try to picture what it looked like pre lake.

[@JayJingles-t1i]

I tell you what Justin, I have a twin brother who got caught fishing without a license in London, Ohio. He used my name, gave him my information. I had never been in trouble up there, and at that point didn’t really have a record at all other than some driving stuff from years before. I called the courthouse went to court for him was five minutes late. They made me sit till the very last opening at 4 o’clock and put me on probation for a year. I had to pay 200 and some dollars and court fees and fines, and I wasn’t allowed to get a hunting license or fishing license while I was on probation for that year.

[@KayakCatfish]

Geez. They threw the book at you

[@JayJingles-t1i]

@@KayakCatfish yeah no lube, no nothing! I pretty much stop fishing at that point. Other then a pay lake here and there maybe 5xs in the last 15-20 years I haven’t fished till recently. The last few months I been hitting it hard. A lot due in part to you my friend. Just your enthusiasm and love for fishing. Your sincerity and just no bullshit conversations. The way you just say things the way they are without worrying about everybody else and what they think. Not doing shit just for the clicks per se. Sure you can be a cock sometimes. But I think we all are if we’re being honest and out loud. My father isn’t in the early stages of dementia. So me and my wife bought him a 35 foot motorhome and stuck it at the lake close to my house where we can keep an eye on him. And help him take care of everything. Now his biggest worry in life is when he wants to take a shower, and does the dog have water. So I stop at his house every day to check on him. Make sure he has what he needs and now every day I stop and throw my pole in the water on my way in or out of the lake and I’ll save you the poor poor pitiful me story but now in days, just a few minutes of serenity by myself catch or no catch is huge. First and foremost, thank God for me having another day on this beautiful earth. Thank you for your great content, engagement, and the knowledge, joy and happiness you spread. I greatly appreciate it more than you know, I hope this all makes sense. I’m talk texting cause I’m at work.

[@leerose9933]

Well my friend, it's fantastic to see you today!!! Now my weekend has truly been made great 👍! Okay Justin, how about that 50 pound flathead today!! Tight lines and good luck 😊! God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏!!

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. l have caught a crappie on a trotline with a goldfish. if you can't say something nice, don't say nothing or write. stay safe.

[@bipperbaits3652]

Aint nothin alive about that crappie!

[@Isaiahb876]

I fish Chickamauga for crappie all the time and I give them to guys for bait whenever they ask. If you need any I’d be happy to give you some.

[@thefishingwolf6811]

We can’t use sportfish in Colorado. But I wish to God we could. I would use crappie every chance I got and put all over KZbin and Facebook just to be jerk. Lol. You do you. Good job.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy!

[@be643]

How does it feel to have a huge rant or story in a video for it to be a skunk and not be posted? It would cause me a mental breakdown. 😂

I live in Alabama and we can't use game fish my thing is if i can keep the keepers and take them home they don't know what I'm doing with them there my fish to do what I want with them hell i might want to just throw them in my garden for fertilizer they can't stop me so i don't understand why they can tell me i can't use the for bait it ain't right there my crappie to do whatever I want to do with them. Keep up the good videos you are a awesome catfishermen

[@kensprague1608]

As I’m watching this you should be on the Mississippi River. Good luck. Hope you beat Rocket Man by 1 point.

[@sideshow45]

I always use minnows to catch crappie on a slip float rig.

[@larryw-sb5tr]

If you catch a crappie on a cane pole, could you not use it as bait since you didn't use a reel?

[@KayakCatfish]

As long as it’s called legally, it can be used. I’m pretty sure cane pole qualifies as legal.

[@larryw-sb5tr]

@KayakCatfish i think here in Kentucky they use the term "hook line and sinker"

[@terryoverland3040]

You Rule, Bruther...

[@johnknotts885]

I see a lot of rock walls on your videos, especially the ultra light videos, have you ever tried anchor fishing and casting up close to those steep walls? I’ve seen a lot of underwater videos of flat heads Laying on or up against rock ledges like that. They look like prime places to throw some big live baits.

[@KayakCatfish]

I should probably try it sometime

My philosophy when pulling someone over was 1. If a lecture would do the same thing as a cite, they wouldn’t get a ticket. 2. If a lecture wouldn’t help, they received a ticket, but NOT a lecture. You never give someone both was my opinion. I actually wrote very few tickets over my career.

Since raccoons are closely related to skunks, if you catch only a few fish on a trip, have your been "raccooned?" Perhaps the creatures that raid our trash cans may be accused of raiding our fishing trips too. 🤓

[@timmiddlebrooks136]

Yalls laws in TN make more sense than ours here in Texas. We can keep up to 50 crappie per day depending on the year, but the moment you put one on a hook to feed it to another fish, you’ve broke the law 😂😂 makes no sense at all!!!

[@davecampbell3455]

I'm disappointed in myself. I thought I hid your net better than that. No problem using legal size crappy for bait. I love fresh catfish but ones in the 1 to six pound range. I have friends who fish for catfish regularly but they want big ones. I like to use the big catfish for cut bait to catch the smaller ones. One friend gave me 75-80 lb. flathead and another friend gave me 45-50 lb. blue. I have cut bait for a long time! JUST KIDDING Justin. I just wanted to give the crappy fishermen something to cheat about.😂😂😂 Blessings!

Here's what I don't understand in Kentucky it is illegal to fish with bass crappie and all other sport fish why does it matter what I do with a legal size fish I can take it home and eat it but I can't put it on a hook it doesn't matter the fish is still gone weather I eat it or fish with it at least putting it on a hook there's a chance the I could throw it off and the fish lives on I don't eat fish I feel like I'm being discriminated against

[@KayakCatfish]

I have never understood laws like that either. Makes no sense.

[@NewSpirits]

For sure we have enough people being paid to run around and fine or lock everybody up for any little offense they disagree with we don't need amateurs joining in too! I finally got rid of my little boat and motor and quit fishing altogether because I couldn't even start out on the water every weekend without getting checked and rechecked fifteen times a fishing trip and getting hollered at from shore by Marine Police wanna be's claiming they owned the ocean was about to get me in trouble and I decided it just wasn't worth it anymore. Plus the South American junks dumped that flesh eating bacteria into the bay and made it deadly dangerous just to touch the water around here so that helped confirm it.
