That's how i fish. No electronics or motor. My German shepherd barks at the fish sometimes, does that count as a " fish finder"?

[@hillbillybozocatfishing884]

Hell yeah . .

[@jesseayers7933]

Fury buddies know best .

[@kennethmasters9329]

Yup love fishing with the doggos

[@offeral]

Man, that first fish whupped you from the moment he broke the surface to the time he got away.

[@curtisbaker5407]

I forgot to mention in response to the panfish video..I have become a HUGE FAN of the Berkeley Gulp line of products over my recent years in my Salt and freshwater fishing! It's DEFINITELY A GAMECHANGER IMHO. ALL my flounder and trout as of recent have come from mainly the Gulp 3" shrimp white w/ chartreuse tail and the 1" minnow up to the 3" depending on what I'm fishing for...but it has thinned my tackle down tremendously to jigheads of various weights and couple sizes of Gulps!! Glad to see that someone else shares my secrets!

[@artnicol2792]

Thanks for demonstrating your stated principle about simplicity being enough to enjoy effective fishing. The fish you caught on this trip did not need fancy electronic equipment, recharged batteries or multiple rods beyond two. You proved your point!

[@Roberts810]

That first one hadn't has his coffee yet!! He was mad at the world!

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Damn good day of fishing. You prove every single time you are the CATFISH SLAYER!!

[@leerose9933]

Always a Joy to have you part of my day. Justin, you are the best part!

[@kevinkelly5430]

That's my idea of a perfect day right there! What else could you ask for in life a day on the water some nice fish landed!

[@tvabiker]

Justin!!! TVA FROM BRUSHY HERE.. That first fish was hilarious..🤣🤣

[@roberthowe5315]

Not to bad of a day for ya justin thanks for another video stay safe out there

[@curtisbaker5407]

That seems to be proper fishing..of coarse...common sense is not as common as it used to be...or how it was in my bloodlines...but I'm glad to see folks simplifying a simple way of fishing..and based on the situation you were handed...I would think this would be the best option even over the hole the other guys were occupying...so thanks for the GREAT content Justin...and please keepem coming...cause it's helping the healing process of my knee replacement TREMENDOUSLY!! 😀 👍

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

Oh yeah that’s how I did it on my local flowing river it’s not more like a lake like those Tennessee big river . Real free flowing water lol beautiful to kayak it on a perfect day . Caught a bunch of nice cats too. Wish we had some blues and flatheads here .

[@tonyjessen8204]

That was a fun trip thanks Justin 👍👍

[@nikkihayes9236]

I think fish #1 was the one those sirens were after!😆 Justin, I swear you foul-hook better than anyone I know.💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You Lucky-🦆, you!!🍀🍀🍀

[@keithdocreed]

Was driving when you posted but I'm home and getting to enjoy now

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Keith!

[@virginian7317]

Nice bonus fish and on the red sinker no less😎

[@rogerwilliams3097]

Good quality cats there Justin

[@BobWeir-ss6bd]

I keep a bag full of frozen crappie for cut bait. I think they like the taste of crappie just like we do. Here in central Indiana most of my nice cats whether they're channels or flatheads come on live or cut green sunfish.

[@dalewood5964]

Awesome video, you are the best catfisherman I see on KZbin. Thanks for the funny content.

[@messyfishing6536]

That first fish had me crackin up

[@badwidow2433]

Love watching your videos at work it’s so relaxing keep up the good work Justin love ya

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

great vid, fist pump worthy. hope you are having a great week

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@donnypeay6770]

So enjoy your informative fishing videos! Use to Catfish alot had all my catfishing gear stolen. Use to fish the Cumberland River at the TVA Plant in Dover Tennessee caught and lost some monsters up their. Hope you fish that area sometime for lots of huge blues and Flatheads in that River! Thank you for all of your videos you share with all of us!

[@jesseayers7933]

Hey Justin , Come to Arkansas and fish our Lake Conway . The AGFC are draining this big ol lake to rebuild it. This a first for us , they have also tagged certain fish that are now worth $1,000 each . This lake is known for some lunker flatheads as well .

[@paylakehater4414]

NICE Video!! Good content as always and as far using the Crappie I have a shirt that says - I FISH FOR CATFISH EVERYTHING ELSE IS BAIT!!

[@jeffreymerritt9792]

Hey sir, I enjoy all of your videos including the raw and uncut videos, thanks for all that you do, your videos bring me joy and happiness

[@johnavonyates4105]

Heck yeah man good trip!

[@bluesdad54]

That fish on the stinger was probably the most exciting one. Another great video. I really need to get my kayak back on the water and find some kitties. Thank you, sir.

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

That first one definitely had a problem with you 😂 he beat ya up good time haha

[@danielfuller1212]

Got my first St. Croix panfish rod per your suggestion. Awesome and totally worth it. Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Hope you catch a ton of fish with it.

[@andersondossantos3750]

I love fishing too

[@ericjohnson9193]

I just got a Kaku Zulu pedal drive, and enjoy watching your videos. I pay close attention to how you have your kayak setup so that I can use some of your ideas. You have a very good informative channel. Thanks for all you share.

[@johnkennedy6557]

Really enjoyed watching your video great job

[@charlesseward5462]

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you so much Charles!

[@ralphwood4814]

What just in that catfish must’ve had once and warrants out. As fast as he tried to get out of that camera and he probably heard the sirens going by so he was on the run.

[@maryveiga4627]

Justin você é o melhor😊

[@randall517]

I don't have a motor but I do have a depth finder. Just pedal to where I'm going then drift with the current and tides. There are days I do wish I had a motor though.

[@rustyshackelfordiii5587]

I honestly can't even fish without my livescope but I still have the original model. Its my buddy Larry he just dunks his head in real quick and says...yup that's where they at! Yeah I might not have 100k invested in equipment but with all do credit...I don't need it. Hurt many of feeling a time or two hiking out in wet blue jeans and cowboy boots with a limit of walleye as I pass people with every known gadget hanging from them except fish....boys keep telling yourself" even a bad day of fishing is better than working..." stay cool brother

[@mylyloy]

I think the fish cooties are aliens after watching a movie this week with something similar in it lol great video!!! Keep ‘em coming!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn!

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video

[@mylyloy]

Am I first yet?

[@KayakCatfish]

Heck yeah! Thanks for being #1!

[@nikkihayes9236]

YESSSSS!!🥇🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

That fish was on the lamb from the law! I wouldn't stick around for a photo shoot either 😅

[@KayakMike]

Shots fired directly at Ryan Bortz in the title! lol.

[@jswyka8]

My longest catfish fight was a 35 inch cat...hooked in the dorsal fin just right so I aimed him back down...so my little tidemaster with 12 pound test I had my hands full...right now my pb catfish is 39" caught in 2 feet of water on bunker

[@jswyka8]

I'm fishin for 40" this year..all my rods n reels are light..I got a 33" on my 7.5 foot ultralight rod..I wish I could do same quality videos as you in the middle of the night

[@pigsandapples]

Thanks for another great video. I wonder if you could take us along on a skipjack/bait fishing trip?

[@KayakCatfish]

I have filmed skipjack videos in the past and they perform terribly. I will include some footage of catching them when I'm out on other trips but it just isn't worthwhile to make skipjack videos.

[@pigsandapples]

@@KayakCatfish ok thanks man

[@BruceCrump-bh3jv]

Like ya videows

[@stephencarlson1430]

River around we're I live at the Fox River in Yorkville Illinois

[@glenmceuen9965]

Another great video! I had my fix for the day! Haven't seen the bass tournament video yet. Or did I not see it in the list?

[@KayakCatfish]

Unfortunately, I skunked in the bass tournament so I wasn’t able to get a video from the trip.

[@glenmceuen9965]

@KayakCatfish Oh, man! You'll get those bass fishermen next time!! NEXT TIME!! You seem to like 80's stuff, so that sounds better if said like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

[@oxmanfresh7493]

Great video but you probably know the river very well

[@rodicmilorad5]

Looks like tht 🐟 forgot hus sunglasses 😅😅😅

[@williammorris1507]

💯❤️

[@karmishellcastillo1010]

Tarea 19 completada

[@jesserliford]

will your spot lock turn your other kayak around or will it keep you facing one direction? my old town 136 will spin around when using spot lock

[@KayakCatfish]

Spot lock will turn into the wind or current.

[@MRCLEAN90]

Hey Justin what kind of kayak are you in on this trip?

[@KayakCatfish]

Old Town Bigwater 132

[@timothymiller7461]

I am sorry he got you wet! I was thinking fish fry I didn't think he would hear me.

[@richardlowery9896]

What happened to the old town kayak. Have not seen it in a while.

[@KayakCatfish]

I was in an Old Town in this video. If you are referring to the Autopilot, I sold it two years ago.

[@FishingForQuality13]

Did u get the dresser built

[@KayakCatfish]

It took me over 3 hours but I got it done

[@FishingForQuality13]

@@KayakCatfish heck yea brother just in time for dinner 😂Now u got the house looking good and upgraded .Watt to go💪🏼that deserves a double dust pump in within itself

[@JavierPadron]

Bruh that fish said No Sr.. Nope no sunset for me.

[@marcusbrandt6743]

Bigger fish in dams/reservoirs or rivers?

[@KayakCatfish]

Depends on the body of water

[@waynerumfelt9060]

Warning....Booms, can and maybe followed by fist pumps...lol

[@brittsimpson5562]

And those wishing we could join in on using them just not leageal here

He didn’t want to see no sunrise

[@keganthurman4267]

Those sirens were for that 1st fish. You wad giving away his location

[@donaldlackey5786]

You had the problem you couldn’t hold on to him
