Golly whopper of a flathead Justin nice job keep it up

Thank you Danny! I appreciate your support.

[@allenbrown7127]

Veryyyyy NICE Flathead!!!!

[@Psshhhdawgg]

Not only a great fisherman but a great entertainer. Fishing legend

[@mikecribbs1621]

Thank goodness, I was able to get the she said joke which makes my day.!!! Excellent fish as well. Stay safe and God Speed.

[@aleanufopilotftlcertified5663]

Worthwhile trip. A slot cat and a huge cat. Thanks for giving that speeder a five-finger wave. We're all here for a limited amount of time and being forgiving makes the voyage easier. Again thanks for taking us on another successful fishing expedition.

[@tariqaslam1853]

Appreciate the time and effort to produce another masterclass. Just glad it's not a goose show, and that blue telling us to unsubscribe is too funny.

[@rottenflesh9112]

This is the way to fish. KISS = KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID. TYVM for the nice simple video Justin. Don't give anytime to the haters.

[@Wilson-pu2pl]

Been a fan for quite some time now, Justin. Just want to say thanks for teaching this old dog new tricks. No real monsters caught yet, but tons of fun-sizers in the 10-35 lb. range. My 82 yo mother has even mastered the circle hook! Still after that big flathead, but know it’s gonna happen. Thanks again!

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Glad you and your mother are having fun and catching some big fish.

[@zakivey5293]

I caught a flathead very close to this size Sunday night my scale showed just over 40lbs my second 40lb flathead in less than a month! Plus a 60lb blue Sunday night as well… and two other 30lb flatheads and a 70 plus pound blue within the past month! All 6 fish out of the same spot! Best month of catfishing I’ve ever had…

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Congrats on those big fish!

[@zakivey5293]

@@KayakCatfish Thanks!

[@520jrw3]

@@KayakCatfish That was much heavier than 40lbs. That sucker was so thick

[@leerose9933]

Your comantary is priceless!!! Thank you so much Justin for always making my day 😊!! Great flathead!! Justin, please ignore all the haters!! You're a great man and a phenomenal fisherman!!! You're always in my prayers 🙏. May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏!!!!

That geese interaction had me cracking up for some reason lol.

[@cheryl.539]

Wow that gollywhopper was huge. Well done. Your commentary has me in stitches. 🤣

[@virginian7317]

I don't believe you Justin. There is no way you will sandbag this tournament. Your mind don't work that way! I'm calling it now😎

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! You may be right about that

[@willhodgson3435]

Through your channel my dad and I have learned a ton about catfish, and I’m glad to say we are starting to be finally be successful. Have put flatheads in the boat 2 weekends in a row now. I had a good flathead on this past weekend but the one knot I didn’t redo when I switched reels around pulled out on me. Was a heartbreaker that I won’t soon forget. Gonna get some more here this coming weekend

[@elizabethstraight9746]

We watch KZbin on our TV and I always forget to come back and comment on your videos. Thanks for the links on upside.

[@JefroMullins]

Been gone for a while with work and glad I caught this video. Very very nice flathead. Good seeing you out there brother. Tight lines!!!!

[@itzcrizzz]

Burger King ain’t got diddly on that whopper!!!

[@JefroMullins]

I think I like these bare bones videos better. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy them all but this shows anyone is capable.

[@TheRealStacker]

"I waved at him. All my fingers too" Bwhahahaha. Nice. Beautiful fish btw. Even got a "That's what she said" joke in there.

[@Not_Vadumee]

literally watching another of your videos when this one came out. love your vids dude!

[@passion4castin]

I've watched you for some time now, you and a handful of others helped inspire me to record my own adventures, and I just gotta say I appreciate what you to to make the sport of fishing enjoyable for so many people! Awesome flathead buddy!

[@KingdomFaithOutdoors]

I really enjoy your video. I live in Raleigh,NC and I am a multi species angler, I really enjoy seeing big blue catfish and flathead catfish.

[@MrKodiax]

Justin, I passed by Nicajack and Watts this week traveling. You fish some impressive places my friend!

[@jeffhudson4817]

Late to this party but that was a damn nice Flathead. Money does it again…

Hey Justin how do I get one of those fancy golly whooper rod and reels

[@Cakez0503]

My nephew and neices live in Lenoir city I'm from close to there but I live now near cookeville tn on the Cumberland River wanting to get more into it you ever take random people lol

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks for your interest. Links for the rod and reels are in the video description.

Well I'll be wanting to download that and use it you need to be getting paid Justin

[@SIPATAHONA]

Good my friends

This is a big fish peace out from Ohio Don x

[@fishing_with_TR]

Where do you catch those croppy? We got crappy down here on the Hooch, are they similar? 🤓🤣

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

Nice flatty!!

[@55azguy]

Great video, super flathead.

[@victorsasek8469]

Nice Flathead

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Went back and looked at that big flathead. That place on his upper lip looks like an old hook injury where it might rotted out then healed back up.

[@KayakCatfish]

I was thinking it had probably been hooked before too

[@benathens3294]

Ok Justin where can I get some of those Red Sinkers? Lol

[@frankbrake7689]

Good video

[@Njfishingmaniac]

Love your videos brother

[@yordayakk240]

Justin why aren't you a fan of using shad in warmer months? It's damn near all we use here in ohio.

[@KayakCatfish]

I do better on other baits in the summer

[@randystone4903]

I like the basics for sure. With that stinger fly are you using any bait scent? I fish public waters where the angling pressure is high and started putting Dr Juice on nightcrawlers. My skunked rate went down and my frying pan is busier. The channel cat that never gets big enough for you tastes best to me.

[@KayakCatfish]

I haven’t been using any extra scent. I figure the cut bait a few inches above it is providing plenty of scent
