Catfishing for Cash

[@onlinecatfishingtournament4990]

Thanks for participating in our events Kayak Catfish. The meet and greet was a lot of fun beforehand and we will be running that back like you said for the Chickamauga event. I think you have to approve links being posted so I'll put a reply with a link to the results for your viewers!

[@preparedtrucker6815]

How does one find online tournaments? I want to get me and my son into it

[@RetPoliceInstructor]

I know this is a catfish channel…. But what an opportunity to show off your Glock or Smith and Wesson. Maybe get a sponsorship…. Lol. Make a video of what to do if someone crosses your lines ..😂😂. Just Kidding !! There’s always one !!! So glad to be retired!! Still no bites the last two days up here in Connecticut🤬.

[@davidammons1700]

Kayak catfish never forgot about you my man now I gotta catch up on some videos

[@Captain_Clark_CDoryAdventures]

My mama taught me a great lesson one day many moons ago when the same thing happened and a fisherman threw over her line. She said, "Watch this" and reeled his line to our boat and promptly cut his line. The fellas drove up to our boat and asked, "Did you cut my line ma'am?" Mama said, "I certainly did." He asked for his lure back and she said, "Here you go" and he was on his way. Moral of the story is no bass fisherman with 12 pound test will out muscle my mama with 30 lb braid and 30 lb drag. I will never forget that day. 😂 I enjoyed the video as always! Greetings from NC and keep em coming brother! 🐟🐟🐟

[@artnicol2792]

At least the camera glitch did not elongate your face!! I admire your response to the rude bank fisherman. Your good nature shines through with exceptional brilliance and clarity under such circumstances. You won my version of a master tournament of grace by catching yourself and not reacting to that disrespect.

[@goodman4773]

He knew you were there and cast over your lines? I'm always amazed at how confrontational people can be.

[@KayakMike]

Thank you for participating in the tournament JJ! I thought you had a killer strategy going into it, I truly wonder how it would've turned out if you get to sit there the entire day.

[@cameronbrennemanoutdoors]

Could have also been that first morning bite. I’m not from that area so I wouldn’t know exactly but at places like that on sunny days sometimes you just get hits till the sun comes above the tree line and it goes from catching a lot to zip real fast so I’m wondering if that also had something to do with it

[@danadams7683]

First Kayak Catfish Tournament video I’ve seen. Love this, looking forward to the next one.

[@kylesalge145]

dude you are the goat of river catfishing! its so under rated its just as fun as bass fishing in my opinion! catfish fight so hard!

[@myfamily8581]

Justin, thanks for letting me live vicariously through you this last year.

[@lagoonaticfishing4057]

The number of times I've had another fisherman wreck my fishing is too many to count. And it always sucks whenever it happens man. But fun as always to come along with you, that tournament looks like alot of fun!

[@maplehouseknives]

I've fished many tournaments and never even made it on the board. If you settled for 3rd place, that's a mighty fine place to be! That dad gum fisherman who threw over your lines was the harbringer of your bad ju-ju. You won't have to deal with him again. 3rd place, a fine showing my friend! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🍻👍

[@philmccumbee6938]

I like your fishing for money videos the best. Keeping the 3 longest is a neat way to have a tournament.

[@lescobrandon8522]

Anyone named Clint is a go to kinda guy Justin,........ No bias. Good job on that location buddy

[@elgoblino7511]

He sure is. He's also handsome.

[@2A-J.MAY94]

His remarks on the go pro was spot on and funny as hell. Or someone out something in ur drink 😂. I don’t live to far from this this lake I’m out in Franklin county so I either fish woods or Tim’s fords lake.

[@WestVirginiaCreeksandCritters]

Try Akaso cameras!! That is the brand I use and they treat me well👍🏻 The only complaint I have about them is you get a small background buzz when using external batteries for extended filming but all around, great cameras!!

[@hambone4905]

Edit: you're in the exact spot I caught that 41 inch blue two weeks ago!!!. I was right on the rocks to your right!!. That's awesome man!!!

[@hambone4905]

I wasn't the one that casted over your lines, but I was on that exact rock man lol

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

@@hambone4905 if you see rock man tell him I said thank you 😂

[@danielwagner6290]

Nice Job! I love watching your shows.

[@rjmack5897]

Brotha, you are a nice guy lol. I probably would have had a few choice words, throwing over my lines 🤔 🤣🤣

[@JerryTolley420]

Justin for your slot tournament I have been catching a bunch of cookie cutter 29-30" cats on Boone lake they're chanels but all about the same size caught 6 last time I was out. Using trout fillets from the store and purchased cut rainbow trout.

[@nathanleitz5060]

Awesome job buddy sucks you had to move but like you said it happens you handled it well and congrats on 3rd place 👍 stay safe and tight lines

[@duanemitchell4598]

Good luck on this Cash tourney and hope that the slot tourney works out for you as well. Keep them rods bent and await the next video.

[@dylanmitchell768]

Hey man I just wanted to say that was me and my buddy we didn’t know anyone was over there until we done casted we started to reel them up and move but you was already moving just wanted to say sorry about that

[@FitnessNews24]

🤔

[@tonyjessen8204]

I enjoy watching all your videos Justin 👍👍

[@scottwhaley4585]

I love that Creek that you’re fishing in. It seems to produce a big catfish. Tough fishing wished you would had won .

[@ramblinreelstv2335]

Great video Justin! Really enjoy the tourney videos. Got an old "Choo Choo customs" Chevy pickup truck from Chattanooga TN. Hope I can get it on the road and throw my gear in it to come down that way to wet a line some time.

[@pigsandapples]

Well done Justin and bad luck about that rude bank fisherman. I get it all the time when I fish the ocean rock platforms - certain types of people think it's ok to move in on you and crowd your spot or even steal it when you've caught a fish and are dealing with it. If a polite word makes no difference, it's not worth coming to blows over so it's best just to move and make the best of it.

[@fishingexcellence3829]

Great video, Justin! Awesome job placing 3rd! I get the feeling you'll get that 1st place spot on the next tourney! 🤟

[@hambone4905]

I'm going tomorrow bank fishing on the south chickamauga creek Hopefully being a die hard Kayak Catfish fan pays off. Cheers bud

[@mrmongo6722]

The reaction of the first rod going down was classic then you no sooner get him in the boat and bam another one hits you. That second one was a fun size but beats getting skunked. You got hit with the third one on then bam #4 a little Chanel cat. Digging your go pro special affects. 😂

[@KayaksAreSpeedbumps]

Guess that's 2 times Mr. Bortz has beat you now 😂

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

😂 soon to be 3 😆

[@markreeves2491]

I hope you have better luck next time Justin ! I did enjoy the video, especially the captions regarding the unexpected special effects provided by your Go Pro camera ! 😂 You never fail to provide some laughs along with the great fishing experience ! 😀👍👍

[@donaldthomas6520]

Another aswsom video brother keep them coming I'm always here watching you. Peace out from Ohio Don T

[@XSJunkieJWH]

Did you activate the carnival house of mirrors setting on your GoPro? lol

[@tomw3380]

Drove from Ohio to meet and hang out with you. I knew you were a likable guy Justin.😊. Third place is still third place 🎉

[@randyshaw8613]

You were definitely ringing the dinner bell for those catfish and they definitely ansured the call another great video even with that pesky channel cat dam the other fisherman that. Cast over your lines

[@slaeshort9498]

Finally some dirty water. That’s what I grew up fishing in, east Missouri has that clear stuff your normally in and I’m not used to it yet.

[@jeffs7773]

Peanut butter and bread. Half slice of white bread with the crust removed, with a big old gob of pb on it. Roll that up in a ball, put it on your hook, and it will out fish any other catfish bait out there. Honest to god try it. If you do try it, you’re welcome

[@michaelclinard4969]

Man that's identical to the mouth of the harpeth River where I fish in Middle Tennessee and our farm backs up to

[@roberthowe5315]

Nice job at least you got 3rd was better then last lol great video justin luv these kind of vids from you your still the best cat fishermen out of a yak in my opinion lol

[@jamescardwell3254]

Length in general is the best way I think to go any tournaments it would cut out 99% of cheating I say 99 because someone looking for a way usually finds it but it would much harder best of luck thanks for taking us with you definitely enjoying it

[@jeffreybunch3959]

That GoPro is really freaking out.

[@fishon225]

great fish. can't wait for the next upload

[@MrCaissed]

You need your own TV show! You have personality for days. You don’t see many fishing shows with just catfish caught, even though you catch more than cats, cats are your thing. I have a contact I can check with if you would like and if not no problem!

[@fishinfool3795]

Fishing the slower water like you did is logical to me. This idea is universal to cattin in any body of water when conditions are high and muddy. Too bad another individual decided to wreck your spot. Not worth gettin angry though. It is what it is man.

[@Chad_Rusher]

Can't believe people knowing your already there I tell u some people just have no respect.. I love your tournament videos good luck to u in future

[@jameswilliams-oy6ok]

Nice job! Not too shabby

[@ridgedecho812]

Are you anchored somehow? How do you keep the fish from pulling you and tangling your other lines?

[@stevewaggoner8237]

I'll be at Chickamauga next week!

[@maxschroeder941]

Great Video Justin. How do you stop your kayak from swaying back and forth when you are anchored up in wind/current? Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

I usually just let it sway unless the wind is really kicking and then I will use a drift sock off the front to keep it from moving as bad

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Great job Justin!

[@mitchholcomb9372]

That’s the issue of having a kayak and not a boat presents it’s own set of challenges as always a job well done

[@Unspoke]

Just found your channel. I like it. I have an idea. Try using some powerbait as one of your bait next time. I believe in it.

[@robertwoodward388]

That's a great way of fishing did you measure him at the fork or the tail end

[@DesmondKSmith]

East TN? I’m up here in Greenville right now playing football at Tusculum. I’m from middle TN but the nature side of East TN is unmatched

I've always done well in muddy water

What app is that you running for that tournament I’ve been looking for a app

[@douglaskirkland798]

Mind sharing what creek at Nickajack you were in?

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

I need to pay $250 for my TX Commercial License. All of our Seafood Shops are looking for Catfish Fillets & they are selling for $7lb. We've been running limb lines, trots & rods catching 100lbs of fillets a day out of the Brazos River.

[@trevorrogers8092]

Love the tournament videos keep them coming right up my alley good luck Tennessee man I'm from Lebanon TN hope our Vols beat Louisiana tonight

[@geekatheart9500]

Thats real fishing going with your gut, no technology.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Always fun to compete with you man. I won’t run it in to bad because I don’t want your cult showing up at my house 😂

I'm sending them your address right now lol

[@skipmitchell3200]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

[@lifeofC24]

You should make this a series

[@Gstar5150]

I think boaters should always have the courtesy to avoid the area where bank fisherman are casting but only if the bank fisherman was there first.

[@Tepix25]

Ive had that same bank fishing problem happen to me, I was just sitting in my spot pulling in bullheads and another guy came through, he had a whole other side of the creek to fish at yet he chooses to stand right next to me and cast over my line, I don't know if it was just a hollow headed guy or a bully (or both) but I moved and steadily kept pulling in bullheads while the dude sat there with 0 fish

[@redbeardsoutdooradventures4257]

What's brand is that 3 pole holder you're using?? I need something like thay

[@jdibben29]

That's a LOT of bait you turned loose in that ol rock head. I'd have put him in the cooler for a future trip

[@joshuataylor5885]

Try cutting the bait in a angle so the hook can be showing more and allow the fish to eat a bigger bait

[@erichjelmberg1661]

You have alot of great qualities Justin. You're a great fisherman, pretty damn funny....and a nice person.

[@nathanstrickland6508]

I've been a sub for a long time, love your videos. I'm wondering what kinda setup you running? What kinda line and pound test your using?

[@Gokywildcats11]

What knife are you using when you cut cut bait

[@y2jamest2099]

Maybe you should have glued some whiskers on to that drum but seriously at least you had a great time man another great video

I’m in Cleveland Ohio. Would love to meet up with the folks that came down.

[@jamesbowen2030]

What size fishing line are U running on them reels ?

[@Outlawcatfishing1983]

Thanks for the content jj. Looks fun fishing in a kayak. Been fishing from the bank my whole life and never caught fish that big. Anyways what's the website you use to find the tournaments for the catfish? I'm thinking of buying a kayak to better my odds.😊

[@T.Z89]

Nice catches Justin !!

[@robertwilliamson6958]

How are you anchored down? Using an anchor and line or an anchor pin? Thank you.

[@KayakCatfish]

Anchor and rope

Just started watching this video after having followed you for a couple years. I hear you are in a live tournament and fishing a new spot. Probably not a surprise for regular viewers if this happens, so, #IPredictAWin!

[@mr.nobody750]

Not trying to sound nosy but curious around how much do the tournaments usually payout for 1st and 2nd place?

[@KayakCatfish]

This one paid out 1700 for first and 500 for second. Another 500 for big fish

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Im sure that was probaly where that guy has been fishing for years..funny how they both knew where the fish would be...some people take their fishing seriously..lol😂
