Been following you for years bro, before your surgery, before your kids. You are the only Googan to graduate to fishing for slabs and fly fishing. Love the content Justin. Thanks for sharing! God bless!

[@soulmolasses33]

I second this post!

[@FoxIslandRailroadCo]

Same here. So good to see J-dog still living the dream. 🫡

[@HOLDFASTBEAR]

Yeah, If I hear Jon B say "let's check out the local fare" one more time, I'm going to chuck tomatoes at him😅. Who are you Anthony Bordain?

[@a.perkins89]

Same here. Justin and Flair are the only 2 I've continued watching. The only 2, in my opinion, that have stayed true to themselves and their fans.

[@Eugenia_Farms]

@@HOLDFASTBEARlmao!!! dudes trying to be unique and doesn’t know who he is leave him alone 😂

[@williamwatson4625]

Great fishing on a flooded parking lot. These buffalo fish can live for over a century, can literally outlive most or all of us. They are among the longest-lived fishes out there.

[@bChipps]

Gorgeous smallmouth buffalo. Truly an American gem. Been here longer than we have and are the second biggest sucker species in the world.

[@brycejohnson1050]

Favorite channel to watch fishing on by far

[@dontnonowuno9953]

Such a unique video .Really cool LFG ,not too many fisherman in Texas can say they ever caught carp on a fly rod 🤙

[@tristanthehunter4980]

It’s always a good day when LFG posts

[@TexasScratchMan]

This video brings back memories of me as kid when tropical Storm Allison hit Houston (im 38) and the baseball field next to our hourse was flooded from the big drainage ditch overflowing into it. Me and a friend waded over and tied string with hooks and bacon to the chain link fence and went back a few hours later annd had a big cat on each one, the water had went down a little and they were basically just sitting on the asphalt. there was also a lot of cats that got trapped in the ball fields because each one had a fence around it. you earned a new subscriber bro.

[@thebigcatpopper8366]

Awsome video! We target those carp in South Africa alot on the fly. They use that dorsal fin to cut the line. It is quite sharp they are very clever fish

[@jessejamesfishing]

*The water was* unbelievably clear for having so much rain recently... it would've been muddy in my neck of the woods due to the soil around here. And I think it probably helps having tons of grass around the lake - holds the soil in place.

[@aggierev]

Watching you go after the carp makes me think I'd love to see you do a collab with the Outdoor Boys. Maybe you could go up to Alaska and do some halibut fishing, they could come down and do some crappie fishing. And maybe also do a survival camping video.

[@Farnorthanglers49431]

No

[@rogerstewart4840]

Kitties love flooded grassy areas. The crawlers are coming up out of the grass and the frenzy is on👀🦅

[@thestead2464]

Buffalo ribs are great!!!!!

[@flyfishmerc]

That buffalo was way cool.... I know where your at, I may have to go get me some of that.

[@kentkelly5301]

Hookomg them on a fly rod is a blast! Like hooking up an aquatic mule!

[@manifestgtr]

Honestly, that 3x leader held up ridiculously well. For purely bass fishermen…that’s about 10lb test. I’ve never fished for fish this size with a 3x…

[@YodaWasSith]

I was surprised to see you turn back that carp. We kill them on the bank here and use their stinky oily meat for catfish bait. Today our only carp was a 9 lb 9 oz one which we consider relatively small. You are right though, they're incredibly smart, have very very sensitive noses, and put up a really great long fight. One of my favorite fish to catch by far.

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Dang, Justin... this could be a "how to survive" video. If a person is desperate enough and all the pigs and deer got run off... a family could live in the Walmart parking lot, so to speak. Blessings to you and OSG and the kids. 🙏

[@TamaraGarrettAlpha]

This was so cool. Amazing to see you catch those fish on such a crazy place...❤

[@danielrose933]

I did the same deal with brackish water in Tampa Florida... catching tarpon and snook on a fly rig on flooded streets and parking lots. Its sort of unique to have a " weird " temporary spot.

[@a1612]

congratulations you've landed a hefty bag!!!!

[@barryw.6449]

I grew up catching Commons, I had a Blast, Hook a 10 to 12 in a river with current you swear its a huge Wiper. To catch Big Carp on the fly is Outstanding!! You are a Master Angler. Get that Tug then get that Sniff *

[@meandale]

Carp have got to be the most under-rated fighters out there... on a fly rod that must be a battle!

[@MrMrsMontgomery]

Love seeing you angling with the fly rod for those Buffalo. Congratulations on the common. I have yet to get that one. I fish a lot of the same water as you in north Texas, but mainly with just the fly rod. You are such a versatile fisherman and I learn from you every time. The scud was the ticket to the tug. Way to go man. Don’t hesitate to try top water fly in that shallow stuff for bass. The ol’ Mr wiggly works great. Also, I love the switching back and forth from conventional and fly gear. Very entertaining.

[@packerfan070]

It’s crazy to think that I have been following you since your first bass boat which was a beautiful red bass boat with the Texas A&M logo on it! I’m so glad you were able to get your new bass boat and still making amazing content in 2024!

[@Scoopswift]

Those buffs and carp are a great adversary on fly rod.

[@BryanTexColombo]

“THE TUG IS THE DRUG!” (NEEDs a T-Shirt) This is the way

[@DWSOutdoors]

I need this kind of action in my life!

[@fly_yaker]

Wow! Catching those magnums on a 3wt, that’s awesome! I got my fly rods back out the other day, gotta try for some Carp next.

[@mceverminers]

Would love to see googan make a fly rig

[@judemaynard4579]

Wooley bugger, flyrod, Stand up paddle board, Enjoy the ride!!

[@woofersd2383]

Smoked Carp is actually pretty good. Mix in some corn on the cob, and Cheesy Beans. Maybe tatters to top it off. Yummo.

[@jeremykey4563]

Always enjoy the videos. To me, you are the most humble of all the googans (and Scott Martin but he’s not one of the OG GS crew). Side note, that song playing at 27:00 brings me back to your new silver bullet video when you picked up that Phoenix 921 Elite. Your first new boat that wasn’t a skeeter and wasn’t powered by a Yamaha. Miss seeing you in that bad boy. Phoenix has some of the best bass boats on the water IMO. Always look forward to your videos. Always have.

[@johnwilliamson2276]

That’s the perfect time to get your bow fishing gear out. Get some gars (good eating) and carp (not so much). Lots of fun though. 😊

[@brucemckinnley5272]

Justin - get yourself some beetle pattern flies for topwater, carp will come get them very well....nicely done!!

[@rubenhuerta72]

Where can I find the exact flies kit he shows in the video

[@chipseiler1766]

What an insane day! Now that's making the best of a crazy situation! Great job!

[@ifightfishcalifornia7366]

Got a local guy that only targets carp on the fly. I see him out in the shallows hunting giants. Looks like a good time. I might just give it a try.

[@edgarajeffersjr5892]

Did the same in Nashville when I lived there and the lake and creek flooded had a lit of fun and unexpected catches.

[@mksouthon9508]

LFG let's go! I won a giveaway from you about 5 years ago - MTB with a signed letter inside and some LFG stickers. still putting out awesome videos.

[@mitchellwest174]

Love your channel

[@craigr.2755]

I enjoy your video's I don't really watch the other Googan people or the Googan channel, but I do enjoy your videos since you aren't always doing bass videos. I don't care much about Bass fishing, but enjoy Crappie, catfishing and your camping videos.

[@mattphillips6578]

That was pretty freaking cool to see you catch that common!!

[@GAM3BR3DR3AP3R]

P4P carp has the best fight!

[@Chris-sf7ug]

He's been blessed by Tom!

[@michaelrohde1112]

Fly rod with a barbless hook and you still land that chonky carp. Impressive to say the least. An empty flooded parking lot maybe the ideal place to practice and learn to cast a fly rod.

[@johnhanley8708]

enjoy all your videos thanks Justin

[@barretsmith5592]

LFG…catches fish in a dad gum parking lot. Please continue living my dream 😂.

[@vichaimoua]

Bring back them kayak vids!

[@williamcampbell6589]

I once caught a 3ft common carp on a piece of lettuce from the bottom of a McDonald's bag. Basically doing the same thing you are doing while site fishing.

[@23KCOutdoors]

LOVED this eppy buddy!!

[@Mike-H.]

Hell yeah you gotta make your way out to Utah we got some SLABS out here just yesterday I caught a 8 lb carp from the river

[@JonLMB]

One of the best KZbin channels out there 👍

[@leehowell4258]

If you think Buffalo carp are fun to sight cast fly fishing we need to hook you up with some saltwater flats sight casting to schools of redfish!

[@flyfishmerc]

LFG, you need to get you a large arbor reel for those freshwater bonefish....

[@duanecalkins7432]

Awesome fish, and on the fly 😊😊😊👏👏👏

[@travislangston5705]

I think you could get great content sight fishing for red drum on the Gulf Coast. Big scales, noses down, fly rods.

[@OneAndOnlyChi]

Great content. Always entertaining

[@SuperLefty1981]

Did I just watch a man fly fish a carp out of a parking lot😂😂

[@TrueNorthOutdoorAdventures]

HA! Super cool Video. New Sub from Hoosierland.

[@brianatkinson8164]

Best catfishing i have ever done was in a flooded playground, at night next to the mississippi river

[@TheCoolwhipped]

Gotta get a bowfishing rig for those carp and buffalo! So much fun

[@LaneB16]

Takes the sport out of it. Just killing natives (buffalo) for no reason

[@blind_eye_fishing]

Carp can be good eating but its a whole major process to get them to taste non fishy and have the bones soft enough to eat. Nothing like cooking other fish 😂

[@williamwatson4625]

It's considered "trash" fish over here, but the Chinese love them. They've been eating carp since ancient times and they don't consider them as invasive pests.

[@blind_eye_fishing]

@@williamwatson4625 people have been eating carp in the US since the 1700s lol and they still do. Like I said it's a whole process and you have to know how to cook them so they taste ok. I personally don't keep or cook them but have had carp cooked right and it wasn't that bad. It's also up to which species of carp to what all you have to do to make them ok before actually the cooking starts lol

[@scottgarber7363]

Nice catches LFG!

[@CougheyCup]

Even if the boat ramps closed, the parking lot isn’t, find you a lizard and feel the tug

[@brucemohon740]

Love all the Googans but you my friend are the Hammer 🔨

[@cloudy334]

Childhood bird sounds at 1:43!

[@beatbox64661986]

Fly fishing is so fun I would want to do a 1v1 fly fishing only challenge

[@reginald1106]

New DLC just dropped for the fish

[@chrischoate7082]

Any plans of doing a googan squad fly fishing rods or small bluegill/crappie type rods maybe even some saltwater or catfishing rods

[@whystop3388]

❤

[@ryankeiter]

When does that Googan reel come out! can't wait!

[@slange455]

Should save one for jug line bait

[@paintbypixels]

Careful - Carp on the fly is very addictive! A great fly for carp is anything that looks like a baby craw, check out the Backstabber fly.

[@randybryant9936]

Looks like fun

[@Waaaaa2751]

Love to see it

[@ElitePWNSFace]

He's got the fly rod out.

[@D0peSince85]

I actually like buffalo

[@SleepyJoesDiaper]

Did the crispies leave the shallows? I’ve lost the pattern!

[@benthompson794]

Keep carp fishing

[@KartRacer21]

Imma Newb. I live in Lewisville. I went to The Colony Scheels and got me a rod and reel. How do I rig up and fish with a lunker log? Or spinner bait

[@geoffmckenzie2608]

Meanwhile, Mexico hasn't had rain in four years in certain areas.

[@dustinalderson7106]

Smoked carp? Catch clean and cook?

[@whystop3388]

LMB!

[@natemyers7928]

I got one with a bass hook and catfish bait

[@danielvelez4001]

That was pretty awesome ❤❤😂😂😂

[@josemonge6622]

I would love to see you catch alligator gar at Rayburn Lake

[@IxTapewormxI]

Gonna have Googan start with flyfishing equipment?

[@whystop3388]

🎉

[@michaeldilbeck7012]

Tug Is The Drug!😂

[@Dino55316]

"The tug is the drug" .... that means two things. ;)

[@rickhoeflinger3251]

14:55 ooh man they're smart. Just got to be a little smarter. Cracked me up

[@camhester4251]

tug is the drug i think i'll start using that lol

[@ri-jm5tn]

Carposaurus!

[@mattdavis7558]

👍🤙

[@ReesNova]

11:45 made me laugh 😂

[@CharlesBode]

keep that carp good catfish bait

[@PlayBoiAllen07]

26:08 🤣🤣🤣The carp looks so disgusted in you for having ur finger in its mouth.

[@rubenhuerta72]

Where can I find the exact flies kit that he shows in the video??

[@thom6621]

Did you just not feel like leaving them on shore, or is the particular species of carp Native? I’ve seen you and others usually trying to get them out of the water when you can

[@slotcouple9330]

Never saw fished get towed for being illegally parked

[@beads2011]

LFG is over run with bots
