A GIANT FISH Lives Under These ROCK CLIFFS!! (Kayak Fishing)

[@goodcitizen64]

Thanks for taking us along! You caught some nice cats!!

[@RiverCertified]

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CaseyWWelch]

You and Kayak Catfish need to do a collab now!

[@rodneyduran8044]

Yes!

[@ryanbortzbluecollarfishing]

I have fish with them both but to get em together would be legendary . Especially if I could trash talk them at the same time 😆

[@josephwatts8147]

And get Justin to eat a catfish(preferably a channel cat!). 😂

Thanks for competing this week brother! It was a great time and awesome to hang out.

[@jacobmoore1710]

There’s enough current to not paddle 😂😂😂 and also 27:07 the laugh got me😂😂

[@patriciapowell3824]

What an excellent video Spencer. Thanks so much for sharing it. Sure enjoyed watching . Take care and stay safe. God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊

Man, I really appreciate the support!

No need to worry about being tough … you have Skip 😂 thanks for the great video 👍

[@justinmaness6538]

Man! If I woulda known you were fishing wheeler I could have given you some info on where to fish! I'm working at that power plant you were fishing by.

[@johnnyking9823]

I just stumbled on ur channel and absolutely love it after taking tips and tricks I have seen from you I recently got a new pb flathead!! Keep up the amazing videos

[@ryanbortzbluecollarfishing]

Thanks for adventure and the shout out. Maybe next time I won’t catch so many fish and you can trash talk me some 😆

[@davidbigbee3556]

Excellent upload man. Those were some big cats!!!

[@ryanglen4450]

Another day, another video from Spencer. Can't really get authenticity from most fishing youtubers nowadays. Starting to look forward to watching these videos with my dinner.

[@ducatisid]

Kayak fishing in big water is not easy. Love how you brake things down. Great video Spencer! 👍🏼

[@HooksandHammocks]

Tellie and I will be down there in October for our first time! Excited to check it all out! Thanks for sharing!

[@waterratlyle2590]

Some great blues in this one sir.

[@beverlycurry4370]

Great fishing, loved the video ❤

[@noyopacific]

Thanks for the video Spencer !

[@riverrat988]

Sweet Ride Captain The only difference between that and your boat is the size really. You know you can catch biguns in it. Good luck Great video

[@benoitfishingoutdoors]

Great video! Sweet that y’all were fishing together and did the tournament! Way to go! That was a massive fish! Gorgeous lake, I hope to visit it one day and get after some big ole south blues. Ya did great without the sonar by any means. That’s one of our favorite ways to fish lol. Way to get out there Spencer!

[@trinityoutdoors]

That looks like a good time. Great video as always

[@WorldofTon]

The square posts are helpful when going straight but the round arms are useful if you want to drift it with the current. Or slow the drift from the wind.

[@rogerwilliams977]

Can't wait for the tournament ❤

[@beverlycurry4370]

Storm of the century 😂

Awesome video man 🎣🎣🎣🎣

[@fishlessfisherman1539]

Great review of the setup. I’m far from being there, but many good ideas. Tight lines 🎣

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

An ice cold brew and my favorite catfisherman made my day brother, nice couple of fish to

[@RiverCertified]

@skeetermalcolm1655 sounds like a good way to round out the day. I think I'll Crack one myself. Cheers dude.

[@TheDetroitman20]

I reckon those would help out come tournament time. I'm rocking my tan River Certified shirt today. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@RiverCertified]

I'd definitely have to agree. Hope you like the shirt. I'm pretty happy how they came out. Thanks a ton man!

[@kouvue3953]

Hey Spencer!, I rarely comment , but go with the force my friend and 🐟on. Love your videos

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Totally enjoyed video Spencer,nice fish , sure hope you load up on tournament day. Great trip.💯💯👍👍

[@axlgr33se]

The uncertainty but awareness of the poop, yet unable to locate the fresh steamer on your knee dead in front of you as you said it had me rolling lmao

[@timduke4616]

Dang Spence that thumbnail was impressive and intimidating all at the same time. Well done👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Virginiashadow]

Gorgeous scenery

[@royschlickeisen2539]

That course lock button is lifesaving once you realize how useful it is!

[@billcotton1551]

I hope you get the hundo in the tournament!

[@jacobmoore1710]

I see that the bass boat saw you 😂❤️

[@pigsandapples]

Big water in a kayak can be a scary thing. I had a few close shaves with ferries on Sydney harbour when I was younger and dumber. Nothing like your rig though - looks like it can handle most things. Congrats on the big cat and thanks for another awesome video!

[@billcotton1551]

That barge was hauling! If you get bored fishing, sometimes I paddle as close as I can get to the push boat, and kayak surf the wake. Captains aren't real happy with me doing that, though.

[@troypappas5344]

Another awesome video man!!! 💯 Thanks for sharing

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@brittsimpson5562]

Yeah he does that it is all in good fun if you have the 55 lbs thrust kayak XI3 you can get 4.5 mph in no current no wind at full speed get 5 if wind or current is pushing you

[@StrikerBrands]

Good stuff Spencer!

[@RiverCertified]

I really appreciate it!

[@Oluvaschneegas2424]

Nice catfish Spencer

[@charleslewis3045]

don’t forget Spencer “hydration is key” 😂 something a wrestling coach NEVER said… as you were on a bus in route to a tournament…chewing a pack of gum, and spitting in a cup before a weigh in

[@RiverCertified]

hahaha you ain't wrong. I'm glad I was a heavyweight in college because that stuff got old fast.

That kayak is flying

[@travishanger8604]

You said you were meeting Ryan so I was expecting the little guy.... What a pleasant surprise. I mean both can catch some fish but he is damn good at some Kayak tournaments. He loves him some planer boards lol

[@RiverCertified]

He is larger and much louder haha

[@ryanbortzbluecollarfishing]

Thanks. I only used boards one time all week though.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarfishing]

Good Luck Bud

BRUISER! Congratulations

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks man!

[@ledraps22]

that river looks huge compared to what you take your boat in, or at least it does from the kayak perspective. Well done staying afloat! I never seen the swivel chair before for some reason. looks very useful. say hi to skip for me thanks

[@jacobmoore1710]

I’ve never heard a catfish burp in person till now thanks Spencer

[@RiverCertified]

I do what I can haha

[@jacobmoore1710]

@@RiverCertified if you don’t mind me asking is it where they come up from the deep water

[@michealwilliams5639]

That was a nice one

[@billylusk3515]

So will you have a measuring board for the tournament

[@piesquared1025]

I'm jealous of your new kayak bud. Just getting into catfishing, kayaking. Love my Shoalie, but it does do a bit too much rocking for catfishing, it seems. Maybe its just me. lol. Thanks fo teaching me so much. Appreciate it.

[@RiverCertified]

It's got a lot more secondary than primary stability. An absolutely awesome creek kayak, I just wanted something larger for big water. I still have mine, and even got a Primo for places without boat ramps.

[@garydenton2048]

Gee, Bauer. That's wide, deep water for a kayak. I had a boat once. Looked over the side and kept seeing me in the water. I saw it as a sign and finally sold the boat and stuck to the bank. I'm now 80; glad I went boatless. On the other hand, you do show good judgement by always wearing a lifejacket. Nice video.

[@JesseRasmussen-z3g]

I must thank the Cubs loss cuz 2 years in a row the NL Central Division...Wisconsin guy here. Live your content, just had to give you a little razz seeing that Cubbies hat

[@lewisblades3145]

I would recommend a tall pole and flag for big water. Big boats are careless and half of them don’t know how to plain out.

[@IEchuckie]

Small water, small boat ( kayak). Big water, big boat.😊

[@robertwilliamson6958]

Technically flying by the seat of your shorts. And remembered to put, shorts, on. 😂

[@anyoneouttherrr1790]

Would you say the same thing about skip jack if you were using them in a body of water that doesn't have em

[@floriank9435]

Are you using top water stickbaits as underwater floats?

[@jplap4387]

First comment love your channel inspired me to start flathead fishing!

[@RiverCertified]

Hell yes man!

[@TheOutdoors-hv6qx]

Reeeheee

Ive never seen deodorant sunscreen. Awesome video

[@kevinpamplin8567]

I always appreciate your videos I didn't know you traveled to Alabama. You're fishing area that is very very near and dear to my heart I have caught some really really big fish there I hope I run into you Richard Gene and Rocky Drake cuz it's only a matter of time before I do because I fish a lot😊😊😊

[@kevinpamplin8567]

I have a picture of a sturgeon i got in that body of water

[@difuente9819]

Wow nice cats

[@TheSlimFisherman]

I was having some trouble with landing big fish out of my kayak on the Ohio BUT I think I can use some of what I’ve seen

[@markboyd1150]

What kayak is that? Brand/ model. Looking to get an upgrade soon. Thanks

[@ericallison4494]

Good luck Brother.

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate it.

[@jimharbison7589]

Another great video,,one question, how are you going to keep the fish for weigh in ? Let the fish tow you around, thanks for the trip Spencer

[@adampolk7818]

I like a good gloves in my autopilot in big waters but the scars on my knuckles are good conversation starters.

[@markbickal3517]

Your 60amp breaker shouldn’t be tripping with a 55lb thrust trolling motor on high. Depending on your kayak length you may need heavier wiring running up to your trolling motor. Personally I’d run 6 gauge as you probably have close to 20ft of wiring. Also the breaker being in direct sun on the black battery box could be heating up from sunlight and tripping out easier. Just my 2 cents on that, a 55 shouldn’t trip it without an underlying issue.

[@scoobyduo2107]

You can get a Hawkeye fishing × 5 pod Bluetooth fishing finder you can get this at academy sports for $99

[@andybass2045]

How's it going Spencer great to see yeah

[@Terry-bb7yr]

Down here railroad ties are gators.

[@RiverCertified]

I've fished in those places. Even in a kayak. I keep my head on a swivel haha

[@The.Rooster469]

Are you satisfied with the kayak or do you wish you went with a pedal drive kayak? I’m needing a new one and not sure how if the pedal drive is worth it for catfishing.

[@drizzyq]

Just scored a brand new big fish 120 for $350. It was delivered a few hours ago. I was looking at potentially going with a pedal drive but I typically fish a very shallow river in Iowa so a pedal drive wouldn't be ideal for myself.

[@RiverCertified]

Nothing wrong with a pedal drive, but if you're gonna spend that much money on a kayak, I think a trolling motor with spot lock is so much more effective. Either way, I hope you find a kayak you like!

[@dewaynewebb705]

Nice catch. So is that a new ( weird things seen floating down the river)? 😂

[@justinbentley1026]

Is there going to be a kayak tournament video in the future now?

[@chrishoda4287]

What do you use to catch skipjack? Awesome videos as always. One day I will catch a giant!

[@RiverCertified]

They seem to be pretty finicky at times, but my go to is a sabiki rig with a weight and foley spoon on the bottom. Hope that helps ya catch your giant man!

[@chrishoda4287]

@@RiverCertified thank you. I will try that.

[@KTDELRUS]

In Texas they make you register it if you put a troller on there, same over there for yall?

My buddy was in a tournament Saturday and he got second place and also Spencer how many phones have you dropped in the water since the start of your fishing channel curious

[@pabllam8017]

Great video. Would you explain how the scoring works Where do you keep the fish and how is the catch documented? Do you fish alone or do you buddy up with another contestant. Liked the over view you gave us Thank you Stsy safe

[@RiverCertified]

I should have explained in the videos. I will the next tournament I fish. Basically you put the fish on measuring board, take a picture, and send it in. The 3 longest fish win. It works pretty slick actually.

[@droo1378]

Lol Roger Alan Wade said that. As far as I care to know.

[@troy1594]

The first one a Tank.

[@jayrfishing]

Did he poop 😂 first it was blood on the striker shirt then you rubbed the poop on it 😂

[@frankribble4367]

I call fishermen weirdos that catch Flatheads during the day. I caught a little one on crawlers during the day & 26 at night. No Blues here in Michigan. Last trip I got skunked fishing some downed trees in a tributary with low water. I am going to stay in the main river the rest of the year.

[@RiverCertified]

That could definitely be fun.

[@johnmommens5952]

Are all the Ryan's you know small?😅

[@ericallison4494]

I think you'd be up around 90 pounds with those 3 fish. Thats not a bad 3 fish limit.

[@RiverCertified]

I bet you're close. I was guessing probably 80-90. The kayak tournaments do total inches though. Take a pic on a measuring board and toss em back.

[@ericallison4494]

@RiverCertified oh yeah, that's right. You put your entry number on it. You can keep track of the scores on your phone. Sounds like fun.
