Bank Fishing with RUDE Boaters

Thanks Justin.

Thanks Justin enjoyed always enjoy be safe

[@leerose9933]

I don't to be negative. I just tried to watch another catfishing video. I can't do it. Justin, I'm a 63 year old man. I've been fishing for catfish my whole life. Your videos are unmatched. The coaching you give up. The commentary. You just stand out as the best thing that ever happened to KZbin. Thank you so much for the quality of what you do!! God bless you 🙏 Justin.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lee

[@leerose9933]

@@KayakCatfish you are welcome Justin!!! I'm a old crippled man. You bring me more joy than anyone! Thank you so much!!

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

Take a sacrifice rod. Big junk sinker and a slip float on junk line on an open face that you can launch past your other lines. The slip float keeps the line up on top of the water and just flip the bell over when a boat comes by to close. I've donated 250 yards to the prop bearing foundation before. All with a smile on my face. 😂

[@treverwagner]

Thanks for the bonus footage! Always stick around to the end.

[@greglyons70]

love the skiies

[@nickmigliore9367]

I deal with similar boater pain when bank fishing my local lake. What’s even worse than the boaters running over your lines are the jet skiers and water skiers who repeatedly come back or do circles around where you fish… worst experience. Kayakers and paddle boarders are also terribly disrespectful.

[@knothead5217]

I've found that on the bank or in the boat when you have idiots flying by way to close when your fishing a 4 or 6 ounce sinker to the side of their boat helps them remember their manners

[@abrammartinez8788]

That happens to me all the time, like you said they have the whole lake or river and them dang boat's and jetski's are right where you're at.

[@briansuttles6743]

nice video, good day of fishing. clear video, stay safe.

[@timsziminski2461]

That's the best one yet Justin 😂😂 that sux 👊👍

[@jeffwomack5821]

There can be a cost for the boats catching your line. A friend of mine caught his own line and the prop wrapped it up until it destroyed the seal in his lower unit. It didn't take long for the water to destroy the whole lower unit. Not cheap.

[@frankribbleFilterOutFlint]

I caught a boat last year. Luckily, it came loose. Was fishing in a small canal. Not a big river.

[@justonpennington5390]

Love the vids kayak you have inspired me to get a kayak for my birthday

[@KayakCatfish]

Happy Birthday!

[@justonpennington5390]

No it's on the 9th of April but thanks

[@michaelpiekarski-du5xi]

Fish Mississippi a lot and it's weird. Sometimes boat can really mess up the bite. But sometimes it can active them too.👍

[@dwaincarter2624]

i always stay till the end to see what ya do next.

[@chuckjohnson4048]

It always mystifies me how boaters and fishermen who have miles of shoreline to run down will cruise the only bank available to bank fishermen.

[@SMaamri78]

I was bank fishing on a major river two years ago. Literally hundreds of miles of river to fish and this guy roars up in his $100,000 boat and anchored literally 50 feet from me. Asked me “you don’t mind if I fish here do you?” Idiot.

[@robertgildea2841]

I am watching from Elmira NY I use spinning rods when fishing for catfish in the Chemung river

[@mr.nobody750]

I believe the bite is weird because usually ur trolling/ dragging so the cats are extra aggressive since it’s a moving bait

[@tenncutt]

You're a southpaw! Great video as usual. You need to launch some 8oz cannonball sinkers their way.

[@usagi10100]

Yo, had my first two encounters with rude fishermen. One guy doesn't like me keeping 37-40in catfish because of tournaments coming in. And the other was filling buckets full of crappie... so you know why he was angry when I setup my kayak near the crappie hole. Ended up leaving both spots. Still landed monster blues, shad and crappie throughout the days.

[@usagi10100]

My target species now is flathead. Dropping baits in the snags off of slow moving current with dropoffs has not paid off yet. But sooner or later I know ones gonna see my bait.

[@catfishcommandodavid7330]

Hell they even mess with other boaters. I was fishing the Missouri River the other day. Guy came and fished right next to me out of all the river. So I started trolling for spoonbill and he didn’t last very long!

[@LeroyWieners]

Still following you after all these years.

[@EricRomines]

Did I hear that boat blow the horn at you as they drive by? LoL damn..

[@KayakCatfish]

Lol yeah. They were honking and waving

[@maharper100]

Sad that some people run right over your lines, it happens a lot to me by jet skier's. He had balls, he even waved at you.

[@outdoorsforachange]

I made it to the final four!

[@KayakCatfish]

Heck yeah!

[@yepyepuhhuh]

I always appreciate the bonus fish. I'm one of 4.

[@DarcieGould]

Have to deal with rude boaters and kayakers quite often, even though there are laws in my state that say they are supposed to stay a certain distance from shore fisherman.

[@jimkindle3563]

You need a checklist of equipment. Lol. Great videos kayak!!!!

[@dansadeh4793]

I go fishing from the bank - 2 pound channel, blue gill and a 1 pound carp. Kayak catfishing goes fishing from the bank - all hell breaks loose. Fml.

[@frankthebank2]

Another great video 📹

First one's tail was like oversized

[@JerryTolley420]

Been waiting on this video I saw you put it up then took it down and was curious what happened to it. Keep it up Justin!

[@KayakCatfish]

I had accidentally scheduled two videos for the same date and time so I had to take this one down and reschedule it. One of these days I will get my act together lol

[@JerryTolley420]

​@@KayakCatfish you're doing fine, best TN catfisherman around. And I saw the bonus skip at the end.

[@codyreece7871]

Iv bank fished my whole life. Finally got a boat and accidentally ran past a guy in-between docks pretty bad bc I didn't see him. I felt bad about bc iv been swamped so many times fishing from the bank but sometimes I reacon it can be accidentally but most people are definitely rude.

[@roscopcoldtrain8849]

I understand totally. They got the whole lake and they come up right next to the bank. I can remember when they pass by they would slow down to a crawl.

[@SheriffRon]

glad to be in the final 4

[@chasl2216]

Another great video, another great laugh 😂

[@michaelcarmoney4668]

Catch them skip jacks.

[@peterderidder9922]

Those boaters waked up the cats, the fish in this lake are used to this motors comming arround and back... You should thank those boaters Justin !! and ask them to do it again ;-)

[@glennsowacke9752]

@@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures that's good most of the ones I seen are and I am a bank fisherman mostly

[@michaelparker5640]

I fish off of my jet ski I can get into nooks and crannies a lot easier for big fish if it's a bass fisherman I would load my jetski up even though they can outrun me I would just follow them and catch up and run around the banks back and forth 🤣

[@jghillstudio1857]

Cool video with the fish swimming off. Enjoy your show man! Keep pounding!

[@lukehurley2392]

I love how you talk trash to the fish “he don’t even know who his parents are.” 😂

What do you wanna bet the boaters name is Toby Channel 😂

[@KayakCatfish]

Hahaha!!! That would be a very fitting name lol

[@AN-eo9pf]

The disrespect boaters have for fisherman is ridiculous. All of that water and the asshole chooses to do some stupid shit. Not one to wish harm to anyone. But if he were to run out of gas and lose cell service that would be alright by me. 😂😂

[@zachturner3443]

i hate rude boaters with a passion

[@vincenttrevino4837]

I don't think that boater crossed in front of you intentionally. As a boater and a kayak fisherman myself, I usually beach myself only if I'm taking a break. The way your poles are positioned off the back I'm pretty sure they don't see your lines in the water till they get close to you, then it's too late. On the other hand, that boater needed to stay more to the right side of the lake Incase another boat comes around the bend.

[@billyhorton5779]

Always felt that bank fishing is as close to real fishing as it gets; no fish finders or other BS. Everybody in a bass boat thinks they are a pro and will fish right across your lines, because there must be some fish there. They are in a boat and can go anywhere on a river or lake but choose to fish where your at. What is it with people these days? Everybody is in a hurry!

I guess you didn't get a chance to pop a squat! I get only 2-3 pound catfish where I live I guess they are called pout or mud pout, and they are black except for the belly and that black comes off and it's slimy. Ever hear of small cats called pout?

[@TheMythicalDeer]

This one guy drove over me and my friends lines and then he got mad at us for tangling the line in his motor….

[@shannmartin7453]

Had a couple guy's pre fishing for a bass tournament on Watts Bar and blew by me less than 40yrds while I was anchored down fishing the mouth of a creek, saw them pull into a marina inlet and I packed up followed them in they were already fishing so I proceeded to run circles as fast as my 90hp would go around them, yelled at'm How you F'n like it !!!!!!! I think they got the point that their actions weren't appreciated.

[@pcolapaddler]

It is annoying, but I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt. If they don't fish, they probably don't know how they affect those that are fishing. Waterways are shared resources whether fishing from bank, boat, bridge or pier, other people will be likely to be enjoying the water as well. Best to not dwell on it and try to enjoy your time on the water.

[@jamescardwell3254]

Great video as always and some nice fish. Thanks for the bonus skippy the rain shut me down before I could get home and get ready. Thankfully, you took us with you, so it wasn't a wasted evening after all. Good luck next time, out friend.

[@BratsNMustard]

So cool. Another great video Justin. I would love to land just one of those big cats before I am gone. Plenty of bullheads up this way but catfish of any kind are far and few between. I have caught two channel cats in my life, both of which were just over 24 inches and were caught on jig and soft plastic while smallmouth bass fishing, and were 40 miles south of here. Up here there are very very few catfish. Thanks again for sharing your experiences.

Heck yeah what a way to end the week with another great video from kayak catfish, always look for to the video content that you put out keep em coming gotta love them flatheads

Always enjoy the bonus fish. Great video! I don’t know why boaters have to do that. You could probably write a book on your experiences with bad mannered boaters. Will and I have had a few experiences. We are like you in that we try to go out when there are fewer out - preferably weekday. Non holiday. We are not people persons. Lol Can’t wait for some live streams!
