GIANT FISH Swim In This TINY RIVER!!! (Winter Fishing)

[@alexACR3167]

Spencer....you are sore mouthing all my fish in the paint rock. We talked the other day. You ran into me and buddy crappie fishing. Glad you and the wife are enjoying Alabama. If you ever need anything let me know. Will help you in any way I can. Welcome to Alabama.

[@RiverCertified]

@alexACR3167 that's super thoughtful and I really do appreciate it! Your crappies are pretty safe from me, so you don't have to worry about them too much haha

[@faronmastin8683]

I watch Brads channel along with yours and Mika every week

[@RiverCertified]

Man that's awesome. I appreciate it, and I definitely know they do!

[@mikemerideth7234]

Love all your videos Spencer! Love Micka's channel and Bradley's channel! Thank all you very much!

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate that man! Thanks for watching!

[@wiskerseekerfishing2166]

just graduated bootcamp and man I missed these videos

[@RiverCertified]

Good for you man. You're tougher than I'll ever be.

[@jimharbison7589]

Them fish are tuned up in the fall ,,great job of catching, thanks for the trip Spencer some fish taco's would go good on this trip

[@RiverCertified]

It's my favorite time of year to fish for sure. I just edited a video that I think you'll enjoy based on what you said. Thank you for watching.

[@jasondeansmith79]

I love that fact that you do it all land, kayak, and boat. If you ever make it to Indiana and want to float the Wabash for some Walleye and cats I would love to show you around.

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad ya do man. I'm a "whatever it takes to catch em" kinda guy. Thanks a bunch for the invitation, that river is on my list for sure.

[@kccatfishing4929]

Great collaboration 👌 thanks gentlemen

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate it! We had a lot of fun making this one.

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

Now that’s a nice fishing day, gentlemen! What a monster, Spencer! Love it, thanks for sharing!

[@mikeivancevic9690]

Hey @RiverCertified : I’ve been a decoy for protection/police/competition dogs since 2010. Ive competed with my dog in Germany in 2019. What you described with Skip’s recall is a thing I have worked on for years with client dogs. When they’re little we get into the habit of praising them for coming close to us, it shows theyre learning so we like it. But, it creates the “zoom by” or the “stop short”. A really simple way to fix it: work on it at home in the yard at first. Use a leash to reinforce what I’m about to tell you. So, you the dogs name, give it a second so you know he heard you, then give your recall command. Give a little tug on the leash to get them moving. You can reel them in as a way to keep them moving. As the dog is approaching you, start walking backward with a bit of speed and keep reinforcing the recall command. When they get close, come to a stop. But, dont say good dog, or praise or give a treat until you physically put your hands on their collar or body. Make that praise really over the top, it makes them really haul ass to get back to you and honor your recall command. And, this is huge right here, no matter how angry/pissed off you may be at the dog, doesnt matter if he just killed the neighbors cats and livestock, if you give recall and he honors it, always reward the act of recalling. I hope that helps you out. Keep up the great content, I fully intend to book a flathead trip for myself and my 10yr old nephew in 2025.

[@pabllam8017]

Once again thank you for taking us along with you. Great video. Happy to see you get some new stuff. Take care out there in the cold. Stay safe.

[@randylippert6416]

Covering the hole gambit, you done good Spencer 👍👍 totally enjoyable!!!

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad you appreciated all of it. Thanks Randy!

[@kellyhill4410]

Look like you had a great day fishing. Thanks for the video Spencer. 🤜🌟🤛🐠🐠🐠

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it Kelly!

[@patriciapowell3824]

Thank you Spencer for another wonderful video. You caught a lot of nice fish and I know that was fun. Be blessed and you and family stay safe and healthy!!😊😊😊

[@MuskratAdventures]

Couple of cool cats right there! Get em fellas!

[@jeffreyneely9283]

Spencer that was a nice one. Totally enjoyed watching y'all guys. Great video.

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it, man!

[@luismagana2059]

Cold front. Dun dun dun!!!!😂😂😂😂 Love it great way to start the video.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Always great to see old Skipjack Griswold Shadgut the first on the boat once again. The weather has been relaxing up here in the mountains lately so I'm gonna be heading into the canyons to fish, you guessed it, small water for some twenty inchers. Then back to pheasant hunting on the road until xmas. I still gotta get you those USS Shadgut decals spun up for the boat!

[@mikemerideth7234]

Love your videos! Going to watching! GOD BLESS!

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Awesome video Spencer keep it up and keep those lines tight my friend can't wait til the next adventure

[@RiverCertified]

I'm gonna do my best. Hope you do too man.

[@daniels4227]

Oh, yes i will watch your new video. Aaaand it was awesome as always, brother!!!

[@jeffbelcher4646]

I was so waiting for the with a paddle comment buddy hahah Keep your hook baited and line tight bro.

[@fredziffel3443]

Nothin like getting a good tail in the face once in a while. It keeps things lively!! I lost a good hat that way one time. 😂 Good times, make good vids ! You, getting together with Brad or Micka, ALWAYS makes for a good time ! Thank you for sharing it.

[@RiverCertified]

Flatheads are a lot nicer to hold than blues. I guess that's just one of the many things I appreciate about them. I'm glad you enjoy the videos with those guys because they're a lot of fun to fish with!

[@Countrybluez]

I’m always here for whatever you get into bud!! Great stuff as always. Been telling you for years, because it’s true, but you make me get out more than I would. I’ve gone more the last few years, and taken the boys on camp and cooks… because I see guys like you and Josh catching and it fires me up. I appreciate the inspiration. Have you noticed the long format content on other channels getting lots of views? I follow several fishing and hunting channels and I’ve noticed a trend in long format stuff doing better for them. I follow a hunting channel closely and he started uploading his whole 1.5-3 hour hunt unedited… I’m not sure how or why but it’s increased his viewership by a bunch. If he edits and uploads the same hunt, he gets 12-18k views, unedited he gets 100k. The algorithm is weird, but not editing and getting more views seems like a win.

[@davidbigbee3556]

I don’t know how you do it Spencer, but when we watch we feel like we’re in the boat with you!🍻 you are never boring even when the bite isn’t on! Keep up the great uploads brother!!!!

[@RiverCertified]

I really appreciate that. I try to tell the best story I can. I'm just glad you enjoy it!

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

Wear a fleece hoodie under a rain jacket and you will be amazed how warm you are especially on a sunny cold day . That outer layer being waterproof is amazing in the cold fr!

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate the tip. The jacket I wear is an insulated rain jacket, so I'd imagine it's pretty comparable to what you're talking about.

[@TheDetroitman20]

Top notch as always brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate it man!

[@treddirt335]

Excellent !

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

I love when I hear that tune you play suggesting a tip is gonna bounce❤

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you get a kick outta it. It honestly makes the editing a little more fun.

[@pedrocruz4710]

Great day Spenc!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks dude!

[@trinityoutdoors]

Awesome video

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

That blue cat face foundation is hard to come by. Looks good on ya. Heard a rumor you may be moving south. Hope you come back to visit. Youd be missed. Brad looks like a guy id hang with. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾

[@RiverCertified]

It's not easy to wash off haha. I'll be back up north as soon as it warms up a bit. Brad is a good dude. You wouldn't go wrong fishing with him.

[@markwhite2556]

You are the best person I like to watch fishing! My brother and I watch you all the time. Hope you catch a Big One👍

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate the kind words Mark! Hope you do the same!

[@atuuschaaw]

Great post-cold front catchin'! 👍♥

[@RiverCertified]

We were fortunate for sure with the crappy weather. It ain't getting much better, but I'm gonna keep trying to catch 'em!

[@Retiredcop052]

Spencer ……. Enjoyed the video ! Dan 👮🏻‍♂️

[@billcotton1551]

That fish had to be in the 40 inch range! Cracked me up when he tail-slimed you.

There ain't no foolin' the algorithm man. I appreciate ya watching!

[@ericallison4494]

That wound is a classic "I ate a Channel Cat" wound.

[@timothyrosauer5353]

Skip looks like he belongs in a 80s hair band.

[@Jo-JoGro]

i see ur putting that new net to good use

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir. I've been digging it so far!

[@difuente9819]

Nice😮

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Brad!

[@chadwright7614]

Yea me too if we get enough ppl asking for that 100 the fish gods will give it

[@rogernull6151]

Soooo, big cats like a little head once in a while. Who knew? 😊

[@RiverCertified]

Just proof everyone does😂

[@ericallison4494]

Trim your bobber stopper string! Another quality video, Brother. Lol Caught a 17 1/4 inch Lake Cumberland Crappie last week. The Muay Grande, Spencer. The Hog Molly.. Skip is a legendary beast of lore. My Beagle, Scooter got into Crappie guts a few weeks back and puked in my truck. It was oderific.

[@RiverCertified]

I like the chaos of long bobber stopper strings😆 that's the crappie that rules them all. That's awesome!

[@ericallison4494]

@RiverCertified you gotta hit Cumberland. 17s are fairly common. A lot of big Catfish and occasionally, you'll get big Striped Bass runnin thru. We catch Catfish while Crappie fishing. On jigs and minners. Cumberland is awesome. So is Dale Hollow.

[@calvinhoward2407]

I ve watched you back when you only had about 20 thousand subs and i ve been watching him since his first vid

[@RiverCertified]

That's pretty crazy man. I appreciate the hell outta it.

[@jonnyohio9515]

11:10.......does that wound look like it could have been from a spine? Like he slurped a 16 inch channel or something?

[@saltinecrackers9640]

Hey that last big greasy say he's ugly.he showed you.😂

[@RiverCertified]

@saltinecrackers9640 theyre touchy lots of times haha. Thanks for watching man!

[@danny123088]

The accent is definitely changing. You're adding a y to fish

[@RiverCertified]

I'm also not dealing with the cold as well haha

[@thepauldixonOC]

Spencer, what camera did you switch to? I think the video quality looks better, thanks for sharing your fishing adventures!

[@RiverCertified]

It's a DJI Action Pro 5. I'm really liking it, except it doesn't beep when the battery dies. I haven't figured out a solution to that.

[@pauldockins9635]

Great slime, but worth it.🎣

[@RiverCertified]

Always man. Thanks for watching!

[@patrickdavis6032]

This is my second year in a row telling you to buy a house in Tennessee lol You sure do like fishing with the country guys. You might even take some accent home with ya

[@patrickdavis6032]

No sooner than I post this you go all southern and say that might be our boy right here !! 😂

[@RiverCertified]

Haha there's a very real possibility i might already have done that

[@timmyt1320]

Awesome videos!!what brand are those rod holders on the back of your boat?Thanks!

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks Timmy! They're smackdown rodholders. My favorites by far!

[@timmyt1320]

@RiverCertified Awesome!Thank you!

[@ericallison4494]

Crocs are little flotation devices.

[@RiverCertified]

I wonder what the coast guard would say if I told them it was my throwable? 😆

[@ericallison4494]

@RiverCertified they are the perfect size for your most common fishing companion. Skip could ride it out for days on a Croc. Lol

[@manyfaces2614]

Try chicken hearts. Works for me

[@RiverCertified]

When bait gets tough, I might have to try something.

[@danhandke5012]

👍🐟👍🐬👍

[@rogerwilliams977]

Ur creek is bigger than most of my river 😂 nice dandy

[@RiverCertified]

I'm gonna do some more creek exploring this spring for sure. Thanks man!

[@davidmiller2238]

I was in the Marines as a young man and fought off the urge to get a tattoo. I’m glad I did. If you want to impact your mind in a positive way, memorize Bible Scripture. If you memorize a gospel verse then think about that verse, you can be saved for all eternity. Such a verse is Romans 10:9, “If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”- (from the Lake of Fire), Romans 10:9.

I have to book at trip with you!! I live in Massachusetts so it would be a lengthy walk but worth it! I can drive or fly plus the trip send me a DM to talk about booking a trip

That would be awesome man. I don't know how to send a DM, but if you shoot me an email we can get something lined up. [e-mail]

[@RoykONizE]

🫡💯👊

[@jeremystanton382]

Hey man, you've forgotten what small water is.

[@RiverCertified]

The big cats forget what small water is in the winter too. I'm gonna do a road trip before long and do some exploring further south.

[@jeremystanton382]

@RiverCertified I know they do, but you did call it a little creek. Just messing with you, so what do you call those sandbar creeks you usually fish?

[@jamesmorrison1884]

Not smart let your dog run around leash dragging. What happens gets snagged someplace

[@todddrowe5950]

😊🧟🚣🐋so you going to do a flathead prediction, lol , just love it. blues and chans are okay , but when you catch a flathead I can tell the difference, I have never had that experience maybe one day.🚣🐋

[@RiverCertified]

I love catching all of them, but flatheads are hands down my favorite. I'm thinking about doing some exploring to find some new flathead fisheries.
