How about doing a video on your air bladder tool? How to make one and how to use it correctly, without hurting the fishing.

[@crazylewiemike]

Great Fish Micka , your Videos Never fail To Produce

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@BigTpark]

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you.

[@kentcollins3078]

Nice fish brother

[@dalewood5964]

Awesome big daddy fish. Thanks for the video.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

I'm great Micka, thanks for asking. That was fun. Sorry hear about the river conditions being low, it happens here in Alabama too. Way to slay those cats. 👍

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@dalewood5964]

Need to sell check dude

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

@@dalewood5964 Thanks, yeah that's what happens when you take shortcuts and speak into the phone and don't pay close attention to AI interparation from what you say. 👍

[@justinlucus8473]

Hell yeah!!! Nice work!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@darrenangle4493]

Congrats and just awesome job of that beast Micka. Loved the video. Also, really appreciate you taking the time to explain why you like to fish certain areas of the river. Very cool. Thank you.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Absolutely no problem. Thank you for watching really glad you enjoyed it.

[@greenpighunter6930]

Great video. Excellent fish.Are you Spot Locked or anchored?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Spot lock. It's easier for me than lifting the anchor all the time.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

WTG Micka! You really appreciate the big cats that you work for. Well earned, time on the water, keep on keeping on. See ya in a couple of weeks.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah can't wait to meet up with you.

[@CRAPPIEfishin]

Another awesome video! Great fish keep up the good work!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@michaelbrown2155]

Awesome fish!!! Great video as always! Question… have you ever had much luck with Asian carp as bait?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I haven't had much luck with it. But I know others that really do good with it.

[@nathenbarto2199]

Nice fish!

[@James-kt8gb]

Great fish mr.mika. I'm still your biggest fan and will always look up to you. Keep doing your magic

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for that. I hope I never let you down.

[@jimnanney6264]

Awesome fish bet it was like picking up a 80lb bag of quick Crete Thanks for the great videos

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it was for sure.

[@PopPopJoe]

Looks like you where anchored fishing?? plus no planner boards? Are they Penn reels?? Nice fish!!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah still having to spot lock on fish so no dragging till the current gets right. Yeah put my penns back on the boat.

[@bluesdad54]

Good blue! 70# wow! Great trip today. Yes sir, that one was worth waiting for. Congrats, buddy.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@larrytraylor6910]

You earned that one all the work you put into it..

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@bobwarren8836]

One of the ways I know a fish is actually big is how hard a time a guy has lifting it. It’s so hard handling these big fish.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah that fish definitely gave me a workout.

[@billydelong7372]

Blues were hitting good up here on Barkley. Caught 33 skipjack while I anchored catfishing.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Heck yeah. That's alot of fun between bites.

[@MilliMillTV]

Awesome fish brother! Do you do and guide trips? I will be in the Knoxville area this weekend but can travel

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. No I don't do the guiding thing. Not yet anyway.

[@geoffbohartfishing]

What a Hoss! Hoping to get one that big soon! Great video.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I hope you do as well.

[@tomflaishans2163]

Nice workout for the day.

[@mickaburkhart14]

😂 yeah it was

[@bobdodd1178]

Another great video. I'm addicted to cat'n videos to expand my knowledge, and your channel is by far the best. Well done! A quick question. You detail using your spot lock but I notice you have your drift sock deployed. Can you explain how that works? Thanks again.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you for your support. So yeah that day the wind was blowing up river and on spot lock with current I use the drift sock for to help against getting blown up river and to keep the back of the boat from swaying from side to side as much as possible. The trolling motor will hold me in place and the drift just helps with that. Kinda like using two anchors to keep you on a spot.

[@DustinMercer-xl8rn]

Good job ol boy that's nice fish

[@thebowtiefisherman5718]

Job well done!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Ooooo-weeeee, heck yeah, what a pig! 🤘🤘🤙🏻✌🏻, can’t beat it with a big Ol stick!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol thank you

[@garymutter2267]

Nice fish, do you fish the river between old hickory and cheatham?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. No I'm below the Cheatham dam.

[@caseycampbell7929]

That 70 LB blue got ya breathing like you ran cross country lol.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah he did 🤣

[@catfishfreshfishing]

That's what's up boss

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was

[@Huntnfish74916]

I’m curious if you prefer large baits or smaller baits for early spring or late winter time? I’ve started fishing the MS river the last few years and the size of that river is a challenge. I admire your knowledge when it comes to big river fishing.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Well it really all depends. I tend to trend more for the medium size baits as to a large or small size baits. I've caught so many big fish on that size of a bait. But I'll be sure to explain that a little more in future videos.

[@ethanchandler7097]

Nice payoff for all that persistence!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it was finally 😂

[@cbreezy2020]

[@jamespennell6934]

[@dwightaustin7577]

Awesome fish bro. Keep it up

[@adventuresofaliandclint]

Aren't you the guy that broke 2 state records??? Just subbed!

[@Marloncatfishing]

Meanwhile I just missed a 50lb cat at the bank 😭😭

[@mickaburkhart14]

Oh no. That's terrible. Sorry to hear that. You'll get em next time.

[@tbonesnyder3038]

Hi I'm a new subscriber to your channel!! Love your videos!! Wondering what brand of rods you are using??

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you that's awesome. Welcome to the family. I use Madkatz rods. Check em out www.madkatzgear.com. Again thank you for your support.

[@davidcarden290]

Alsome fiish

[@brianjenkins9772]

Where did you get that fish weight sling ???

[@mickaburkhart14]

I got it off Amazon. Just search up Berkeley weigh sling.

[@billydelong7372]

Thats a dandy!!!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@billydelong7372]

I was getting them on the main channel ledge around 70ft

[@mickaburkhart14]

I need to find water like that.

[@billydelong7372]

Come on up here . Theres some good fishing , I usually work the Buzzard Rock area. @@mickaburkhart14

[@paparayfishing2000]

Heck yes!! great catch

[@EagleEyesTienda]

Dang nice fish brother 💪

[@jerrysanders869]

great fish just going to get better from here

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah it is.

[@ib.fishing]

What weight sling is that?

[@metodzagar2402]

What river are you fishing

[@mickaburkhart14]

The Cumberland river.

[@coolbreezeinkc102]

I see you use mad kats rod. What kind of reels do use?

[@mickaburkhart14]

I use the penn fathom 20 lw.

[@letsgofishing24.7]

Awesome Fish Micka!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@dracolakeworld]

what are your rod leashes for?

[@mickaburkhart14]

When hooked to the rod during moving from spot to spot they keeps your rods from bouncing out of the rod holders if you run into rough water.

[@PopPopJoe]

What do you mean "until the current gets right??"

[@mickaburkhart14]

It needs to slow down lol.

[@EastTennesseeWhiskers]

Nice video ole boy. I'm editing a banger as I type this.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Heck yeah can't wait to watch it.

[@thecatfishingfool420]

why do you not burp the fish as you feel it in , that tube is so bad for the fish …

[@dougf8540]

I really would like to see the bite but you always get in the way. Maybe raise the camera.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Well that's a good idea. But I'm thinking I need to run a second camera that just looks over the rods. I've actually started playing with that just got to figure out the editing side of things to make it work. I'll get there. Thank you for your suggestion.

[@dougf8540]

@@mickaburkhart14 Yes sir it's not a complaint just a suggestion , I enjoy your videos. Thanks
