A kayak, a paddle, and a fishpole is about all it takes to bring a smile and a sense that there is still peace in this world! Thanks for the video.

[@blitzhunts3433]

Unless u live in WV where there is basically only small channels

[@swervomatic]

You know I got all that fancy livescope, spot lock, big boat, the works, and I catch the most fish when I just go back to basics and keep it super simple just like you did here. The fancy stuff is nice but you damn sure dont need it

[@lovingdeanthegodmachine5622]

@@Last_Chance. Hey shoot I’m a shore fisherman and just blessed anytime I hook into a fish it’s not about all the fancy whooo haaas but it’s just about getting on or by the water and doing something we love! “Keep fishing never stop” tight lines!

[@wednesdar452]

Justin's daily excursions are pretty much bucket list fishing days for the rest of us!

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Idk how else tah say it besides the more you laugh the more we laugh , an laughing is priceless these days …. Big game or small my man always finds a way every episode ta make ya laugh keep ‘em comin !!!!!

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Love those big flattiy releases they just have that cocky attiude. Like if you get in the water with me I'll show you who the boss really is.

[@toothman32]

Love the back to basics videos. Wether it’s ultralight or cats, always a good time. Thanks again, Justin!

[@Za86m]

You don't need a motor with one of those things pulling you around the river lol. Always a pleasure watching!

[@markgray8360]

I always stick around till the end of catfish videos! I don't always finish the ultralight videos, but I finish all of these !

[@fishingislife8432]

Big Fan, Man! Any suggestions for a $180 budget round baitcaster catfish combo?

[@quentinsalters9132]

Dude you are a beast out on the water. I would do just about anything to catch a catfish the size of your first one in this vid lmao. I did get my PB yesterday, 7lb channel. thanks to your videos I’m moving up pound by pound

[@fredziffel3443]

I carried my brother out, back in April. His first time "catfishing" and his first catch weighed in at 56 lbs. We caught a dozen more over the next 2 hrs, between 20/50 lbs. Then they just stopped. He didn't stop talking about it for 3 weeks. I've never had another day like that in my life but... Ya gotta keep that line WET or it can't happen. 😂😅

[@nikkihayes9236]

YAAY! Keep on Keeping on at it and catch a Tank!!🎣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RobertUtley-tt2wc]

Very refreshing to see a good fishin video WITHOUT electronics. Thanks

[@fredziffel3443]

LMAO !😂😂😅😅😂🤣 Don't feel bad, bro. Dang few have ever landed a big cat on their anchor line. Over all, you had a helluva GREAT DAY ! Thanks for sharing it !

GREAT video!! As far as fishing bare with-out all the graphics is refreshing!! I watched a BASS tounament this weekend and they had more screens on their boat like they were helping land planes. Like VIDEO GAME fishing. Alot of flatheads!! LOVE IT!!

[@yepyepuhhuh]

Thanks for the bonus fish. Always fun to watch you go back to the basics.

You need to do like I have done for years. I tag every fish ,I catch and it's very interesting to go back to that water ,catch that fish or have someone email me ,that they caught a fish with my tag on it.

Awesome fish Justin. Impressive

goooood brooo

[@douglasmedlin7159]

If you still have your ray marine it wouldn't be that much trouble would it? Just a small motorcycle size battery then you could tell depths and contours. That's what you used before you got all the bells and whistles.

[@KayakCatfish]

I still have it. I just don’t need it unless I’m drifting or trolling.

Hey man u went live on my birthday the last two years oct 19 and u said last yr to remind u when I talk to u on the supper chat hope u can go live again buddy

Happy Birthday! I will tell you now just in case I don’t go live on your birthday this year.

[@RJ-cc1fz]

As a fello cat fisherman, I appreciate when you thoroughly show on a graph how/where/what you are fishing. I watch these videos to better my catfishing abilities

[@johnbachman3835]

Great day on the fattys, keep on the great videos

[@douglasmedlin7159]

I have seen you catch 2 at a time lassoing and on the same hook and Fly and bait. But have you ever caught one while lowering the bait? If you have can't remember it.

[@KayakCatfish]

I have had a few instances where a fish hit the bait when I went to lift it up off the bottom

[@BeardedOutdoorAdventures]

do you ever use the tail pieces?

[@ryanbranco9786]

Great Fatty Flatty day! I’ve been noticing that when you’re running this kayak, no electronics, batteries, or trolling motor you are catching more flatheads! Could that be a secret to better bites? I would be interested in watching an experiment!!

[@JackcatsandbassYT]

Love the videos! I just have a question why don’t you have comments enabled on your shorts?

[@KayakCatfish]

I just don’t have the time or desire to monitor the comment box on another channel.

@@KayakCatfish oh okay! Can you make a how to on drift fishing on a kayak? I just got a kayak and want to catch some but idk how to drift fish.

[@DrewbyDoo-sf1ri]

Hey Justin, I'm looking at getting into kayak fishing. I've been watching some of your older tip videos. I was wondering when you do anchor down do you still use a drift sock? I just can't tell.

[@KayakCatfish]

I rarely use a drift sock anymore since I mostly suspend baits while anchored now. The drift sock was helpful when anchoring in current and casting baits out

[@DrewbyDoo-sf1ri]

Thanks for the info! I appreciate you and your videos, they are always entertaining and very insightful! @@KayakCatfish

[@Fishin_From_The_Boat_804]

Are you fishing a river or lake?

[@andybaker5466]

Man that was great! What no garden this year? A man cant live on fishing alone.... or can he? Hey how's the baby chaeta?

[@appalachianpursuit2924]

Fav bait for flathead?

[@KayakCatfish]

Skipjack

[@deanashburn7390]

I have saw other cat fishers say that they seem to catch more flats without electronics powered on, like they can sense it. Do you feel like you catch more flats without electronics ?

[@KayakCatfish]

Tough to say for sure. I definitely catch more flats when anchor fishing versus moving though.

[@SlimAdventures]

2nd fish, the blue cat, looked like it had one eye.. maybe why he was slender.. has a bit of trouble hunting possibly?

[@Theatdrummermix]

What’s the water temperature?

[@Theatdrummermix]

@@Last_Chance. thanks realized that mid way thru the video was just wondering……..temps are dropping in my area we’re down to about 65 degrees water temp was wondering where the fish would be at those temps

[@johnmeyer6537]

You need to take your stinger hook off when anchored.

[@darinpendley4710]

Justin, I know you cut the tails off of your bait and throw them in the water for chum, but why don't you give it to the fish you catch as a treat

[@jamesbates9768]

Up awful early lately

[@brandonbishop9877]

Why dont you use live bait more?

[@billhodgson4105]

That poor fish was skinny cause every time he grabs a snack it has a hook in it ha ha

[@Davy-pj8mu]

I tell my wife every day you ugly but I like you😊

[@fletcherreed3259]

I think flatheads would survive almost anywhere. Prob be a murderous invasive species in a lot of areas.
