SERIOUSLY BRO THIS VID IS A CLASSIC, FOR THE VAULT. I'D TAKE STEAK OVER CHICKEN LINE WAS GOLD.

[@fishinfromscratch5484]

Hey Justin, you should tell Ryan that 3rd place wins him the opportunity to be your rod caddy at the next tournament. It's a hell of an honor and he should be proud.

[@ronwelch6548]

I've never heard you so down about spending time on the island. Then you perked back up on the move and really kicked ass. Very happy for you and don't worry about slamming Alabama people, thy have already forgot by now.

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Thanks Ron!

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Us Alabama folks never know how to act. you can dress us up but you cant take us anywhere 😂😂🙈🙈

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s a fact lol

[@WillGarner-uf5oz]

Amen

[@dandurham4288]

Congratulations my friend

[@Mart1927]

You were right in my backyard. I live in Florence and was out on Pickwick yesterday. I've been watching you for over 2 years and you were how I learned to catch these big catfish.

[@fredziffel3443]

I fish Picwick lake regularly but honestly, my biggest fish always come from Wilson. Welcome back, Justin ! 😂👍

[@biggmike2703]

Thank you for taking us along. Enjoyed it. And everything you said about Alabama is true. 😂 Go Vols !!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Mike! I appreciate you being a channel member.

[@katdaddychris7013]

Glad to see ya pick up the win, I was getting excited when I saw the tie for the lead, told mom, she said congrats. Every time you put a new video out, I always go down on the weekends and watch with her. She enjoys watching. Thanks for what you do and for sharing.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Chris!

[@philipstephan5451]

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

I always pull for Ryan or you to win these tournaments. Kudos to Kayak Mike for putting all this together.

[@michaelknapp3702]

The saying is...”Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!” ❤. Hello from Medford, Oregon! I really enjoy the high quality fishing shows you create! Thank you! ❤❤

[@jamescardwell3254]

Congratulations, Justin. What a great trip and video to watch. What a great way to start the year off on the trail off with the a WIN. I appreciate you taking us along and getting to watch you bring the cash home to TN.

[@RalphBarton-fishing]

Nicely done buddy... congrats and was a really good payday

[@jeffhudson4817]

[@daniels4227]

This was AWESOME!! Great job and congrats sir

[@jonathanwhite6881]

Congratulations, Justin! I've been watching you for a loooong time. I was hoping you and Ryan would come in 1-2. He's our local guy here in Kentucky. It just wouldn't feel right, only rooting for a feller from Tennessee with one of our own in the mix!😂 Good luck to y'all on the next one!

[@maddgoatee9708]

Congrats Justin on the win and biggest. Very exciting video. My heart kept pounding ever time you hooked up.

[@philipstephan5451]

I cannot believe how these fish are messing up your rig tig today. Your doing a great job consistently bringing in these cats, and using your time to slowly move closer to check in. Hey, I'm rooting for you as usual and hope you win this thing. After all you need some new gear. Stay safe, blessings to you, cheers. 😊

[@Redfishstalker]

Way to go man! Thats “Roll Tide” worthy right there! Congrats on the W!

[@wesneal7913]

Congratulations on the win and on the big fish. Awesome job. You definitely called who ever fished that part of the lake would win it

[@johnavonyates4105]

Good job Justin Congratulations. Kayak Catfish is one of my favorites on KZbin . I really like how you changed up to a different location. Good call man.

[@tomw3380]

Man Justin, I sure enjoyed riding with you today. Who would have thought you could get that many of us on a kayak. Next time, bring some barbecue chips. I’m back home now. If you need me to cut your grass while your gone, let me know. Haha.😅

[@leerose9933]

It's nice to watch you win a tournament!!

[@mynametater]

Congratulations! Glad to see you win this one! I've learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!

[@TB-zw7dt]

Buck Perry is the OG of structure fishing. I didn't know, but am not surprised, you have gained from his knowledge. You shared a whole lot of knowledge in this tournament. Thanks for documenting things.

[@user-jo9lj1dq3l]

Hello Justin, opposite technique on an alternate choice of places starting a tournament 😂, man, you have the courage of no one I’ve ever known. I know I’m late to the game by watching your video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀anyway 5:07

Now listen, I'm a Louisville fan, but in light of Sabens departure, I'm gonna leave it at that. Lol Great job Brother! Congratulations!!

[@paylakehater4414]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! AWESOME the way you adapted!! Maybe next tournament I would LOVE to see the reactions of the other anglers. Very nice trophies and GREAT Sponsor"s , So IMPRESSED for you to travel to Alabama and win Total length & Big fish. Can't wait for the next video.

[@peterderidder9922]

Catfish are used to see and hear all those speedboates, I even think those boats keeping the catfish active and feeding !! Big congrats for winning ! 2 prizes . I enjoyd the vid verry much ... Lots of fishers are to passive, they keep on waiting and waiting instead of trying sommething else ... You know I could give you somme advice to catch more carp , you just have to ask it ...

[@stevestewart2341]

Congratulations on the win

[@billcoulter1984]

I hear ya Justin. I’m 65, 7 hours in the kayak is a long day, and a good day. If I have a few fish for the freezer it’s a great day. If I’m skunked it’s still a good day Great video.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Bill!

[@multicattastic8curtis286]

Thanks for taking the time to film and share. You could've said to yourself, "I need to focus on fishing" but you won anyway plus got Mr. BIG Alabama Cat USA.

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

You always seem to be on the posting schedule that I need. My allergies are 200% kicked in, have been for three weeks now, and I held out for as long as I could before mowing my 5 and the next doors rental 3 acres. Haaaaaachooooo!! I enjoy your grind!!

[@fishingamericathegreatadve4349]

Congratulations! Couple of impressive things besides your win - how you hung in there after feeling like you wasted time on the island. Can't get that time back just kills me on a fishing trip... And, how you were able to be calm at the camera when you HAD to get back to check in. Great video in the face of danger. But I guess it would have only been a couple thousand dollar boo boo 🙂

[@greglee9909]

I watched your ultra-light video after you pre-fished your tournament. No confidence my azz!! Not all Heros wear capes! Congrats Champ!! Due to your inspiration and tips and tricks, I have my 1st cheap paddle kayak on the way for ultra-light fishing. Thank you Brother!

[@donaldmiller9648]

Yep...Agree that Tennessee needs to win a few after only winning one game against Alabama in last 17 years, tobacco cigar stores in Tennessee hurting :-)... Glad to see you do so well in the tournament...

[@mylyloy]

You are so welcome for the food money. This was an exciting video. I loved it. And when you said BUCK PERRY I nearly squealed!!! I have some Buck Perry spoon lures my precious cousin gave me before he passed. He was a lot older than me. Lonnie was his name. He was like my second daddy. He taught me how to bowl. He didn’t teach me how to fish but he taught me a lot about fishing. He emphasized how important contour fishing is to me and by golly you proved it in this tournament! I’m so happy and proud of you Justin. Great job!!! Woohoo!!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn!

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Congrats on the win

[@FishingKnotCatching]

My son and I are starting cat tourney fishing this year. We have our first one coming up this weekend and we are excited. Great video!

Hell of a win

[@dalewood5964]

Awesome video Justin. Congrats on the tournament win.. l watched the whole video and it was worth it.

[@pigsandapples]

Not skunked...not tenth...Congrats man!! Great work.

[@ramrodrymensnyder2648]

Just heard you mention getting DQ for being a min late at check in. I have a couple buddies who fished a big bass tourney several years back. Got back to the dock, tied the boat off, walked over with their bag and weighed in, solid first place bag. Walked back over to the dock, let the fish go, one guy went to get the truck, the other guy jumped on the boat , used the trolling motor to pull the boat around to the other side of the dock (maybe 40'), got the boat onto the trailer. Went and parked the boat, walked back over to the crowd for the final results (to get their check)...tournament director said they were DQd. Buddy who moved the boat didnt have his lifevest on when he loaded the boat onto the trailer. "Must have lifevest on when under power" Reality was that they weren't locals and the locals were mad that someone from out of town won their tournament, but rules are rules and it cost them a little over 5K in cash. Apparently the guys in second place saw them move the boat, filmed it and turned it into the director. Sissy move in my eyes, but it is what it is. OOF.

[@codyakfishing8856]

Heck yea man good win, just made some dragging sinkers, going to set the rods up and next good day we have ill be fishing pueblo reservoir, get on over here one day and show me how it's done!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Cody! Hope you drag up a monster.

[@jamesstatzer3022]

Congratulations on the win. Good luck with the next one.

[@jeffdevine6387]

Personally, I love it when there are few fish on practice days and loads of fish on tourney day, lol. Good job, take care.

[@greatoutdoors3931]

Congratulations 🎉 Great job.

[@HawgWyldFishing]

Dragging this time of the year is usually the best way to do it for us. Unless/Until you can find them schooled up somewhere. Congrats on your win.

[@roberthowe5315]

[@tommycarroll4431]

Congrats good job.

[@nikkihayes9236]

This is the vid I've been waiting for, ❤ it! CONGRATULATIONS on the double WIN!!🥇🏆🎉🎈🎊 I bet Miss Daphne is excited you won too.🐕😄 What would happen if there was a tie for 1st Place at the end of the Tourney? Would they split the prize, and has that ever happened in any Tourneys you've entered? It's INCREDIBLE how a quarter inch can make or break you.🤭

[@KayakCatfish]

There is a series of title breakers in the event that happens

[@nikkihayes9236]

@KayakCatfish That's good. Do you by chance know what the tie-breakers would be?

[@user-sj6jv5zb4g]

Simply CONGRATULATIONS!😎👍

[@Mop120]

Great job my man
