Huge Flathead Catfish Eats A Live Bait

[@leerose9933]

One of the things I most love about you is your honest. You are a great man. The best part of my day is getting to watch and listen to you!!! Thank you Justin for making it worth while to get out of bed!!!!

[@davidrick994]

Dude if didn't know any better and was just listening to your commentary I'd think it was a Saturday morning fishing show I was hearing. You sir are top shelf KZbin quality for real, for real!

[@nikkihayes9236]

What a BEAUTIFUL Bully-looking Flattie, Justin!!🤩👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

[@jeffhudson4817]

Definitely a nice Flat Head for sure. Not a lot of fish but still beats the hec out of sitting behind a desk. Thanks for taking me along. Stay safe

[@travisgentry5494]

Sure do love the smack talking and good fun!!! Keep dropping lines bud, your own your way to the top!!!

[@kennethhanson1898]

I love the way you can mess with people that is so funny that reminds me of me

[@KayakMike]

It really is the best. Anyone who gets upset with the smack talk. Well they're just soft. When I eventually get home and edit my videos, I roast JJ 10x worse lol. That's how friends talk!!!!!!! Theres no hate it's all fun!!!!!!!

[@Hookset717]

I just arrived in Kingston Tennessee last night from Central Pennsylvania. I towed my boat with me and plan to fish watts bar looking my first ever blue cats! I will be in town till Saturday. Maybe we will run into each other. Great videos as always!

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Good luck!

[@fishing_with_TR]

We just got back yesterday - no shortage of blues in Watts Bar!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Good luck on your trip!

[@shannmartin9361]

I was down there about 2wks ago and just slayed the big blues and flatheads. 42lb+ blue and 36+lb flathead were the largest caught, the flatheads were biting good, got about 20 in 4days all on cut shad, couldn't get any skipjack anywhere. Good luck.

[@zachmazza2846]

Enjoy bud you will love how those blues hit. Reminds me alot of a striper hit. Enjoy and let us know how you do. Any bait that's natural to that water will work blue gill white bass skip jack shad all of it will work man good luck!!!!

[@The1ong]

The fish you catch are jaw dropping man! Love ur vids and I watch them as soon as I can! You and 618 Fishing are my inspiration for fishing! Thank you man, and fish on!

[@christowphersadventures6527]

Nice change of pace! Usually your big Flat heads come on Cut bait! But this guy chose the live bait! 🤘

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Watching you crank em up never gets old buddy! Already subbed to ole Kayak Mike!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy

[@markbell4982]

Justin finally catches a big flathead on a live bait & the first Kayak Catfish video I've seen where Justin's preferred bait was utterly destroyed by live baits. The world is ending.

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

Thank you for another great video. It's definitely an uneasy feeling sitting in a boat when it's that foggy; truly head-on-a-swivel moments. What a beautiful flathead. I find it interesting how flatheads seem to strike the bait and fight differently than the blue catfish. Of course, since I learned that from you, I now try to guess what's on the end of the line before you tell us what you think. Poor Mike; not his best day...but he seemed to take it all in stride. I think I will mosey over to his channel and have a look. Thanks again!

[@denverlamont3120]

Just stopped for lunch break…open KZbin and BOOM fresh Kayak Catfish video…fucking sweet hell yea man you got me onto fishing for cats hardcore. Ive learned a ton from you, keep up the awesome content!!!!

[@stripermanly]

Kayak Mike seems to be a pretty good fella. I watch a lot of his videos to and he shares much the same passion for catfishing as you do

[@KayakMike]

Thanks rene!!!!

[@stripermanly]

@@KayakMike one of these days we’ll meet at a Taylorsville tournament and you can share some info with me where to fish.

[@cheryl.539]

Oh wow. That flat head was huge. Yep a golly whopper. Great catch Justin. 👍

[@k4x4map46]

glad to hear your laughter! great video!

[@chaddrumm6809]

Dude I don’t even catfish and I freaking LOVE watching your vids! I’ll clarify, I loved cat fishing when I was younger, but it’s been a long time! You have a great thing going with your vids! Keep up the bad ass content!!!

[@jonlutke9083]

I don't think I have ever watched a video of yours without laughing! I hope you the best, and keep up the good work!

[@coltonfishes]

This got me juiced up for my fishin trip tonight! Always love seeing those flatheads get cranked up🤝

[@jordanwalter2447]

Get em colton

[@justinbrooks4409]

I'd love to go fishing with you man. Love your videos. Keep them coming.

[@LonestarPanFishing]

Great to see you happy justin.

[@Joseph-km3dz]

Love your video's man. I usually fish Carvin's Cove in Virginia where you can't use live bait so it's a challenge. Watching your vid's made me invest in a Kayak and it's a blast. Got stuck by a crazy channel today and my hand hurts but won't stop me from going back in the morning. Keep catching those water hogs and making great video's.

[@SlimJimLockpicking]

Another great video. Thanks for all you do.

[@roberthowe5315]

Went out early this morning and caught a few till the heavy rain made me head for the truck you always out fish your guests lol great video justin

[@russhayes4882]

Another quality video Justin looking forward to seeing Mike actually catching a fish ! Lol

[@codyakfishing8856]

Haha kayak Mike at the end, great video

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Cody!

[@dakotaweber5020]

I live an hour from Tennessee so I could have a trip with friends anytime time here in North Carolina that’s the best part living in North Carolina being next Tennessee didn’t realize that till a year of living here to be honest

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

Beautiful flathead

[@EricRomines]

Heck of a Flathead buddy! 👍.

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

Great video with nice looking fish. Really enjoy your videos

[@jamisonrucker9728]

I wish I could post a picture!! I turned on your video as i always do when I get started fishing and not even 10 minutes later a 28.6 flathead!! I did my rick Flair WOOOOOOOOOOOO 🐟🐟🐟 thanks justin all the way from Columbus, Ohio

[@keithcarter4086]

The red sinker starts the show!!

[@craigrasnic4178]

Another awesome video sir, kayak Mike is from pretty close to me. You’re gonna spoil him with the quality of fish you have down there compared to the Cincinnati area

[@KayakMike]

You're dang right I got spoiled lol

[@kurtfredregill3324]

Golly whopper flat head nice fish great video

[@bradclodfelter1013]

Live Sunfish work even better than bluegill.

[@herbybrooks5131]

Nice fall camo

[@bradclodfelter1013]

Don't give up on that live bait Justin. I know it works.

[@55azguy]

Enjoyed the video, super flat head.

[@stevebugmanduncan4145]

Dam good one buddy thanks 🙏

[@alexaddington6120]

I need to fish out in TN someday.... I fish in Texas n went out last night and had an "amazing" day lol, caught 3 blues that were between 5 and 6 pounds and a few channel cats between 3-5 pounds, best day fishing I had in ages lol

[@anthonyirwin2636]

Great flathead!

[@larryoliver9915]

That was a really nice flat head 👍👍👍👍

[@codyakfishing8856]

Hey I'm hoping this is the bluegill u caught for me lol. I'm headed out today for Flats and blues

[@KayakCatfish]

It may have been the same bluegill

[@nikkihayes9236]

I hope it was too!🤞🙂

[@markihde4381]

I'm curious. Here in Montana we only have channel cats and bullheads. Your "dinks" are a good size for a channel cat in my area. Have you ever used mudbugs (crawfish) and do they work for catfish bait in your area? I fish out of a 19' Grumman canoe with rod holders I made out of PVC plumbing parts. I enjoy watching your channel.

[@traviswoodyard7448]

First ,I've been waiting ,so glad you dropped a video today

[@crappieslayer89]

So....did @kayakmike happen to have a banana 🍌 in that kayak? Is that why he had no luck fishing with you today? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Weird hookset on that Flatty. Suspended bait I guess. Great video.

[@jerryhaun5994]

Whats that olboy got a butterfly net for?

[@hectorromero8631]

Nice flatty there

[@MikesFishingHome]

Another great video🕶💜🎣

[@KayakMike]

If anyone thought this trip was good. Just wait till our next trip when he uploads it lol. Spoiler, a lot of brown.

[@paulmaul2186]

I guess when I make it to Tennessee my 7 foot spinning rod with 10 pound test isn't going to cut it.

[@yianndog9173]

Flathead are cool dude

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Man probably lost the nicest fish of the trip. That thing was ripping. And at that depth for a fish to pull like that has to be a pretty good fish.

[@donaldthomas6520]

Nice flathead brother peace out from ohio

[@fishermanlad4270]

Should I spool my catfish reel with all braid and use a flouro liter or just use all flouro?

[@cjcourter1477]

Flatheads were im at slowed down so I'm calling it quits for the year.

[@richardcolbert6264]

Bam!👍👍

[@jrzapata7042]

Awesome bro, I’ll subscribe mike 👍👍!

[@dennisfarley6574]

It appears it’s more the fisherman than the bait.

[@jamesbaker9383]

U BAD ! LOL

[@vincentrichmond5802]

Next video: "Mike goes to jail, for beating me with a fishing net"

[@jamesbaker9383]

I meant rubbing it in so much. Wish I lived up there so I could go.

[@spyderskullhd7030]

Justin do you use 80 lb mono on your main line ? I have 65 lb braid on my main line with 50 lb mono . Thank's for all the great fishing you do . Fish on *****

[@KayakCatfish]

I use 40lb mono main line and 80lb leaders. Thanks for buying the hat!

[@thomasmachovina596]

Where in ohio mike? I'm down bybohio river we been on good flathead bite. Messege me man let's get trip going

[@KayakMike]

Cincinnati area brother.

[@justinredden1729]

Great video as always, is there a reason for thumbing your line as you reel in? Never seen that done before

[@CharlesJohnson-qx5ln]

He doesn't have a guide for the line as he reels back in. He uses his thumb as a guide, back and forth so it reels back on the spool evenly.

[@justinredden1729]

@@CharlesJohnson-qx5ln okay gotcha, thank you

[@derrickdjdlewlewis5090]

Hey can you give me the model number of your trolley motor on your kayak. I got a Jackson coosa hd please

I'm actually early to a video?? 😲🤯 Mind blown 😂😂

[@hapakat1318]

Jaws!

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Notice you said in the yesterdays video that was posted it to about 20 min. to get where you were fishing was wondering what the thrust was on you kayak motor?

[@KayakCatfish]

55lb thrust

[@bounmachanthalangsy5923]

That’s a good size for eating..

[@nikkihayes9236]

2nd Blue sure is a Fattie! 👀🎣🤣❤

[@mrdinomyt6631]

Golly whopper on the line!

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

The red sinker caused you to lose that fish

[@ynmamflm]

Why cut the fins? Is it so they won’t spin?

[@beforethunder4987]

It's so the fin doesn't possibly interfere with the hook set and the line. Also serves to release more scent into the water.

[@derekstine937]

Like I commented on Instagram what a whopper nice job !!!! 🐖 🐷

[@davealbertsen9387]

It's a darn shame that the only way to get a pic of Mike with a fish was to hold up one of yours in front of him. Here...I was about to check him out on You Tube! I will still check him out. I mean...he's not gonna post a video where he's skunked! I hope he doesn't bring a banana on the trip.

[@elocks04]

It wouldn’t let me watch the second half of the video for some reason

[@herbertbilodeau3389]

Why are the catfish inedible?

[@mikekirby7169]

They had an ash spill that contaminated the water.

[@oldeschoolbob1022]

He talked about this in a previous video; it's at the 10.05 mark. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gp7ceIWdrb2FjM0 .

[@douglasmedlin7159]

You been catching alot of flatties lately is it the time of year or just luck of the draw?

[@KayakCatfish]

I tend to do better on flatheads in the spring and fall

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Yeah fall Time is always the best time for flatheads. In the winter it's usually always blues and no flatheads. In the spring it's a big mixture. Summer more blues. Flatheads don't do as good in water with s warmer temp as blues can.
