[@ovilla5668]

That's definitely worth a Golden Cat Award. Amazing.

[@davidhamilton9106]

Nice catch Cookie!

[@tammymerritt2522]

If all that excitement doesnt make your boys want to cat fish more often I dont know what would lol. Awesome memories

[@DavidSmith-zd1xp]

That was amazing you were able to get the rod and fish back. I watched the tournament and I felt bad when the rod holder broke Chunky

[@team-legend-rich-N-leo]

Wow that's crazy but glad you got the rod back and the fish brother

[@ryanswink1431]

Dude that was awesome

[@TheOutdoorCatch]

You are lucky to get that rod back. Nice Job!👍

[@TBCOML]

[@ryanswink1431]

Dude that is awesome

[@eguerra7171]

EPIC....that was crazy

[@fishinwithbigmike2674]

So close!!!! Awesome save

[@robertmcknight9637]

That was awesome👍👍✌

[@ron514ron]

now thats what you call a “comeback” 👍🏻👊🏻

[@tylerstraub3764]

How tight is your drag?! haha or was it jammed up or something? I'm surprised that fish pulled the rod holder off if the drag was working correctly.

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

I normally don’t have the drag set that tight but for the kids tournament I had it where they didn’t have to adjust it much

[@tylerstraub3764]

@@CHUNKYCATSFISHING ok just wondering! not criticizing. nice fish and was awesome to see the kids so excited

[@rell_andre6621]

Now that's a take down!! I'm glad you got your rod back.

[@quentinnails374]

Man that was nice to see you run,I would have dove for it lol.

[@kccatfishing4929]

I enjoyed that !!

[@xavionharrington1323]

Good catch man

[@BrianBCatfishing]

I taught you well my friend😂😂😂. That spot loves stealing rods…

[@johnmacom3208]

Definitely one of the best bites iver seen, idk what it is with those 15 to 20 pound fish hitting like that, i caught a 75lb flathead on easter sunday that never even set off my baitclicker

[@ReelBeasts]

That’s incredible

[@johnjohnson-sm3yf]

Chunky you literally don’t make this stuff up lol 😂. Glad you got your rod back and the fish.

[@sfoutdoors8917]

That is awesome! I had the same thing happen to me in my walleye fishing video!

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Fishin Follies. 😂😂 Great stuff Elstan.

[@FnLn55]

2 hole pipe clamps are your friend - this fish story will be retold to your great great grandkids!

[@BagrePinto]

That was legitness

[@timdonna6808]

Waiting on a takedown. Rod on hook (ROH). Fish on hook (FOH). What a great video.

[@rickys.creations1120]

And around this time last year the question was asked “Chunky are you sure JB weld holds up?” 🧐🧐🤔🤔😝

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

🤣🤣

[@DMVWhiskerKing]

Facts lol 🤣👌

[@DMVWhiskerKing]

@@CHUNKYCATSFISHING it held up to many many fish just was it's time I guess

[@mauricecason5369]

You lucky Kevin wasn't using that rod it would have been gone forever 😂😂😂😂😂😂 glad you got it back

[@garywinthorpe3382]

Drag was set on devastate lol

[@acecatfishing8679]

I TOLD YOU CHUNKY THAT JB WELD WAS GOING TO DO JUST THAT BUDDY

[@whiskerdreams7146]

I lost a $250 rig last year,lost on one day and got it back the next day when I pulled up the anchor,plus the fish as well..

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Super awesome 👍

[@RebelRiverCats]

Incredible

[@brianforrest3377]

Got lucky getting that rod back lol 😂 good job though

[@carpandcatfishbaitstipstri7309]

Happened quick

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Absolutely thank you for stopping by and your support my friend

[@dan3244]

That why you loosen the drag lesson learned

[@davem776]

A freakingmazing!!!!

[@countryboycatfishing2293]

I still can't believe you got the rod back and the fish was still on it

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Absolutely and won the tournament

[@g915moreno]

First kayak catfish flips his kayak and now you lose a rod lol at least both of you got your stuff back

[@thedragon2299]

Won't leave those rods unattended again...

[@shannonwise3719]

I’m with the fish on this one. 😂 Bc in all fairness to the monster fish, there were 4 ppl there and someone should have been on watch. 😂😂😂 Good job tho

[@zp_goated11]

awesome

[@tinaknott6056]

Wow sorry he got your rod

[@ramsbaitandtacklesanantoni448]

Use pvc electric conduit it’s a lot Stronger

[@SuperJuancho13]

Oh no Bro you gotta make sure and leave a tiny bit of drag so you have a chance at catching it

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Absolutely I agree but this was a kids tournament and they were having a hard time adjusting the drag so I had it tighter than normal

[@itsbearnshd1427]

That's the rod that brought your rod into the water I'm just giving you a hard time at four minutes it was funny. Lol

[@937MIK3]

This is why I only run a clicker or baitfeeder I have lost a couple in my days atleast you got that one back with a decent fish still on it too 😂

[@jigman992jessee7]

I think if a teen size fish broke your rod holder a couple of bolt's are needed jb weld fatigues after a while especially in the sun

[@erikramos3188]

No way lol😅

[@darkhorse1628]

Lol I almost had a big bass take my rod in the lake the other day I caught it before it was taken in to the water tho but unfortunately the bass got off 😡🤬

[@jeremiahbrumble3082]

Don't think that JB weld is strong enough loo

[@ohshucks7156]

This is the rod that broke my rod holder and took my rod underwater 😆

[@handyman75657]

So much for the glue? I told you how to fix it but I guess that is because I have not donated to your cause? I have made several comments in the last 3 months since I subscribed to your channel but I have been ignored. I guess if I was a paid member I would have been acknowledged??? Have a Great Day!!!

[@halonichealer4277]

You blew the chance at grabbing that rod because you didn't want to get wet. When you hesitated your chance was gone.

[@trentcostello5158]

That one kid is just ????

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Lol

[@TrapRats]

If you use drag that won't happen
