I love the extra content now that your doing this full time Justin. Watching you catch fish is almost as fun as catching them. Helps me get through the times when I'm not on the water.

[@jorriewimmer4363]

Born and raised in Wisconsin but my dad spent time in the Army down south and he taught us all the joys of moon pies and RC Cola. Watching you untangle that lassoed fish brought back memories of fishing the last few years of fishing with my dad before he passed. His eye sight was failing so I became his personal assistant when we went fishing. Tying on his hooks, baiting them, untangling and taking his fish off for him. Man I miss those times with my dad. The memories and wisdom I learned from him are priceless. Another great video. Love them all.

[@christiangabers5513]

When your day starts with a Kayak Catfish video you know it’s gonna be a good day

[@j-brock7298]

Dang u start late brobut I agree

[@wesleywillard]

Agreed.

[@christiangabers5513]

@@j-brock7298 I didn’t mean exactly start the day I was awake for two hours before he posted it

[@marclatchaw1662]

yes

[@danieltanner695]

Justin i cant thank you enough for what you do man. I started catfishing with my dad really young to young to remember how he done it. He died. But threw you and your videos I've learned to catch big catfish again and now I'm able to pass the knowledge to my sons. Keep it up brother we love your videos 👍💯

[@trevormartindvm]

I was watching another fishing video when I received the notification. That other video can wait!

[@micahyoung9558]

The tragically lost moon pie was my favorite part! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@houstonbottomboys3911]

Sounded like hank hill lol

[@fletcherreed3259]

Mine too. Ida it it on a hook🤣

[@MattLaClear]

I'd eat it still. Just saying.

[@scottnewby3925]

Oh my word I laughed so hard when you dropped your moon pie. I understand the struggle.

[@KayakMike]

I'll be back in a few hours to watch! Heading out to the water myself!

[@christiangabers5513]

Have a great time and catch many of whatever species you are targeting

[@jumpinpics2414]

Awesome man catch em up

[@sly-1429]

Even I had to shed a tear watching the moonpie floating away. Those are so good!!!

[@budbrudis5213]

Soon as I get home from work, if there’s a episode of kayak catfish it’s priority over all! I watch Justin on my phone when I’m on my boat! The tips he gives I do my best to follow when on the lake!!

[@brett7715]

There's a catfish down there that's going to come looking for an RC Cola to go with the rest of that moon pie!

[@deductivereason7911]

Yooooo lmaooooo

[@marclatchaw1662]

great video moonpies are awesome

[@antcantmiss]

Haven’t been fishing in a week or two , but I’m fishing vicariously through you . Keep em comin Justin 🤙🏿

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

What a flathead Justin! Your videos just get better! You know your at another level when you give calm commentary while fighting a world class fish! Legit!

[@DEADorALIVEkayaking]

Great Flathead! Word to the wise...NEVER go fishing with just one Moon Pie! LOL

[@MarkSmith-wu8rh]

And never the yellow one!! 😂😂

[@texassportzman]

So the secret is out. Moonpie and RC Cola. Lol. Congrats on your Channel's success. I like that you're on a schedule.

[@cheryl.539]

Its good to see a longer video. I really enjoyed it. Good sized catfish too.Thank you Justin.

[@crappieslayer89]

Found my cat dead this morning so it was nice to get a fishing video notification. Thanks Justin.

[@levigeist9105]

Sorry for your loss, This video with Humble Justin will make it better hopefully!

[@bonniegarris2500]

When you held the moon pie up and were trying to get it back in the package literally made me laugh. And when you dropped it literally hurt my heart!

[@timothygreen9884]

I’m a carpenter and good tools do give you a good mindset which does aid in your success , but I know what you mean. You have a great show !

[@i-spazzmusic1504]

Not gonna lie anytime I see a big flathead thumbnail I click click click lol nice fish man . you an a few other people are the reason I target bigger catfish . I saw your " big flathead that came back " video years ago an I was chasing flathead for awhile before I finally hooked a monster in 3 feet of water 8 feet from the bank . being my first flathead ever at 25lbs I have been chasing that high ever since . so thank u Justin for fueling my addiction lol

[@my_time_outdoors]

Justin, I appreciate your honesty. All to often large channels push you need "blank" to catch fish. Congrats on reaching over 100k subs. Continue the great work. Thank you.

[@okiefishaholic8096]

Been saying he needs new scissors and bait knife for a year 😂😂

[@robhand7205]

RIP grandma and papa.. Moon Pie and RC Cola was a classic snack at their house growing up in the early 90s

[@wild1595]

THANK YOU JUSTIN!!!! Keep them videos coming!

[@MrCed318]

I love how you say a small Blue

[@matthewwilliams7735]

Boy howdy those big flats tickle your fancy hey Justin?!! How could they not!!! Your technique has allowed me to pull some prehistoric beast from my river thanks for what you do and fish on!

[@andyweninger243]

Love the energy when you landed that large flathead!

[@halibuthooliganinc1058]

My first period class loves when you post in the morning, they get to watch your videos on there break. Keep it coming

[@paulbright5081]

That moon pie was still good Justin! The river just adds a little essence of catfish.

[@marshallhunter07]

Dang if Justin doesn't make me jealous every day. My office chair today was not fun. Living vicariously through this catfishing machine. I just picked up a Hobie Pro Angler 14 (my first ever water vessel) and now I just need to make time to put it in the water. I really don't know squat about fishing but this channel makes me "think" I can catch a monster catfish one day.

[@tracytodd8934]

I think we yelled "yes" at the same time when you landed that whopper flathead! 🤣 great video!

[@davinmiller8169]

Woot woot awesome video. Caught a 45lb flathead Saturday. Was so excited. Biggest cat I've pulled in. Cant wait to try some of your stuff

[@fido3561]

The moon pies have been around I know for 70 years. When I was logging back in the sixties, I would get myself 3 or 4 moon pies and a big chunk of cheese along with a RC cola for lunch. Take care and have bunches of fun. Your neighbor in GA.

[@goyaklarh]

Just when you think you're videos can't get any better bam ! You do a wonderful job of commentary also !!

[@misadventuresincatfishing9953]

Saw that bump over your shoulder...location, location, location. Good call. And having good quality bait. Glad to see that second fish stayed on for you! Great video!

[@jasondeansmith79]

I always wait till lunch to watch but I’m always making sure at 10 you uploaded. Lol

[@myronhigh3527]

You cant beat this trip with a STICK!!!! Congrats and God Bless buddy!!!! Good luck on the next one!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kennycook359]

I like the channel brother. I would like to see you weigh them bigins. That was a awesome flathead. Sorry you lost your last bite or two of ya moonpie! Lol

[@barbadams4823]

I want to catch a Golly-whopper! Love that word and completely enjoy your videos! You’re modest, kind to the fish and loving your life... good for you! Fishing 🎣 🙌🌊

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Barb!

[@larryoliver9915]

Really nice fish what a day of fishing thanks for sharing the video 👍👍👍👍 see u on the next one

[@davinmiller8169]

Also a Tennessee man myself awesome to see a local youtuber. Take me fishing lol

[@johnlosier6772]

Beautiful Flathead ! Me and my son are taking the kayaks out to lake Belton , Tx. this evening for Flats and Blues .... Your videos have inspired us to chase a dream , but more importantly have taught us fundamentals that have helped tremendously. Keep doing what your doing sir .

[@muhdadam57]

love your video from Malaysia bro✌️♥️ good content and keep it up👍♥️♥️

[@davidtombrello3091]

I'm really glad to hear you mention Buck Perry. His teachings DO apply to all gamefish, with slight modifications that should be obvious to anyone after they do a little study on the habits of their target species. His books and courses are worth every penny and are the best investment one can make in their fishing. Between you, Justin, and Marc Cooper at Top Knox Fishing, the gospel of structure fishing is getting proclaimed to a new generation of fishermen, and that's a very good thing.

[@darinbales1]

Love watching your videos. I appreciate how genuine and positive you are. Keep up the good work!! 👍👍

[@coreykincaid236]

The commentary the past couple videos have been so great. 😂

[@72hernest]

I always stop what I'm doing when I see your notifications. Always beautiful to be on the water as the sun comes up. Thanks to navionics, landed my pb blue

[@joshuavanwinkle3192]

.@KayakCatfish I didn't know you could catch dinosaurs with skipjack! Lol🤣

[@thatonecarguy5999]

Moon pie and an rc!!! My man. Hell yeah. I’m from East Tennessee as well and my papaw was a cat fish man and that’s what he would say. Rc and a moo pie is a fisherman’s best friend

[@classicrocker7440]

Excellant fish, you can definitely tell that your committed to your job! I think you deserve a raise! Thanks Justin!

[@buddymoser1268]

This guy is a great fishermen

[@DanielBoone337]

I have a couple different Navionics chips for my Lowrance graphs and those are freaking priceless when you do a bunch of tournament fishing or really any fishing. I love finding big humps and ridges in the middle of lakes and I've even found old ponds next to islands that you have to go through extremely shallow water and out of nowheres you end up in a 2-3 acre deep hole right up next to the bank. They normally hold a ton of fish mainly because nobody fishes them or even know they're there. Before we had all the technology we have today I've found some of my best fishing spots from old sonar maps. Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@thomasgarrett7577]

man that's a beast flat head. very Noice!

[@100catfishing7]

I had a flash back to my childhood growing up in Arkansas when you said Moonpie. 😄 ROC co-cola and a Moonpie was a favorite snack when hunting,fishing or just reading comic books. Great video and fish! Thx and good luck.

[@flyer6931]

Forget using scissors! Get some tin snips for left handers. They will never wear out cutting fish fins!! Just found you channel and can't stop watching! I've never seen anyone fishing like this when I was your age or I would still be doing it too! Now i have something to look to get into. Thanks

[@deannanphillips]

Big boys!! Great video Justin!!!

[@WestVirginiaCreeksandCritters]

Dang it man! Lost the moon pie! Us southerners know what kind of tragedy that truly is! lol! Great video kayak! Keep pumpin’ em’ out!

[@hoodbillyjohn9589]

That moon pie must have filled them up 😂 ... good day on the water with ya , again another skunk for I 😂... Safe an fun fishing 🙏

[@tomw3380]

That was a good trip Justin. The only sad part was the Moon Pie. Now I know guys that would have salvaged it. haha. Thanks for the videos, the invaluable information and the time on the water.

[@cowboycatfishing1265]

Beautiful flathead buddy!!!!🎣🐟💪😎

[@rchilsstandardpoodles8029]

Nothing like a nice big flathead, RC cola and moon pie with a slight hint of catfish flovoring! 😅👍

[@eugeneroy3399]

wish that I wasn't so scared of the water I would love to catch fish like you do. you do an awesome job with your videos even when you don't catch the big fish

[@danacampbell7777]

You better grab that moon pie. That's your lucky breakfast. Great videos. Glad I subscribed.

[@flannel872]

I can't wait for the jugs of summer!

[@brianforrest3377]

[@chrisreumont]

A Moon Pie and RC Cola the breakfast of pre diabetics everywhere. I ate crap like that when I was your age and paying for now. Nice video Justin that flathead was huge you might even call it a “ Golly Whopper “ . Stay safe .

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Hell Fire, moonpie down. I have to ask my boss for a longer lunch if you're going to do 44 minute videos Justin. 😁

[@chadmccollum2300]

Perhistoric monster right there. Love it. Those bigger dings are calling the dinner bell on my end. Love me some catfish nuggets in Texas. Lol! Heart broke on the moon pie brother. 😭 In my boat its Hostess Ding Dongs made for a ding dong and pbj sandwiches! 😋
