I'm Gonna Need A Bigger Boat!

The famous line from Jaws, "You're gonna need a bigger boat" seemed applicable on this kayak catfishing trip. I caught what was probably my new personal best blue catfish. It was a fun, action packed day of kayak catfishing.

I'd say the best catfishing kayak channel on KZbin. Quality fish and everything seems to be hooked in the mouth gets a 👍 from me!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you!

[@andybaker5466]

Mine too!

[@mikemilker9076]

Awesome blue bro keep it coming

[@bassnhockey]

That fish right there is what dreams are made of. Most anglers go their entire life without a trophy of this size. Big congrats!

[@nrgyzr2012]

My son and I just bought two kayaks a couple of days ago. We absolutely cannot wait to get on the water, and start catfishing! And we owe it all to you Justin! Watching your videos, listening to your commentary, and your explanation of everything, we believe we have found a lifelong sport (kayak fishing) that we will both be enjoying! Thank you Justin!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Duane! I am glad to hear you and your son got some kayaks. Hope you enjoy them. Good luck and have fun!

[@fatchancesoutdooradventure2305]

Kayak Catfish my ass! You're more likely the Tennessee Tank Yanker. Awesome fish man

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! I love it! I need a t shirt with Tennessee Tank Yanker on it. Thanks for watching!

At 16 minutes is how I felt yesterday when I caught my first flathead this year at 50 degree water temps. Not nearly as big but I have been grinding channels and it was so satisfying that the work paid. Love binging ur vids

[@frankybarra6067]

You make it feel like I caught it right with you . Thank you!!!

[@Leonardd6133]

Amazing size, ability to land and handle it, and opportunity to watch it all unfold.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks!

[@geraldmoore3686]

Justin, i'm a new subscriber to your channel and i'm loving it. To do what you do in a kayak, is unreal. Catfish Dave put me on to your channel. I'm working on your older videos and waiting for your new ones. It's a privilege to be on board.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Gerald!

[@danielcollins9850]

Oh my goodness how you pulled that monster in your kayak without rolling that takes skills my friend. Monster catch you are a pro that’s for sure.

[@jerrybryant4494]

[@ChattCats]

Great job, Justin! Hard work pays off big!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Joe!

[@partickthompson1164]

I just found you a few weeks ago.I have to you make fishing look easy . Too easy and I know for a fact its hard to land them big old fish because of their hard mouth. And you do it with out a net . You got me . I absolutely enjoy watching land them but I especially like how you explain the little things about fishing that grown men are just to embarrassed to ask (like me) but what I really enjoy is you. You always seem to have a great out look and believe me it shows and its nice to watch. Thank you

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Patrick

[@stevenbrown1102]

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! That rod I caught that fish on is over 15 years old too. Still going strong. Thanks for watching!

[@curtisrichey4431]

[@TheGuitar1962]

What and awesome fishing 🎣 trip!! And you don’t have a $1000.00 boat 🚣‍♀️ payment at the end of the month. Lol 😂 Give’m Hell.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! That’s the truth! I don’t know if I would enjoy fishing as much if it was that expensive.

[@normhiscock352]

I love hooking into a large fish on my kayak. The reaction I get from people in boats or on shore are priceless when it drags me through the water.

[@KayakCatfish]

Hard to beat the adrenaline rush of landing a big fish in the kayak. Thanks for watching!

[@KeithDocReed]

What a great day, Congrats Justin

[@johnfitzhugh1354]

We are definitely spoiled with good fishing around here.

[@MaddogFishing]

😯 what an epic day you had fishing. That one blue cat is a true lifetime trophy for most people

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! It was a great day.

[@bennycasillas3848]

Another great video Justin! Amazing catch. Biggest catfish I've ever seen!

[@jeffmorris8768]

You did good Justin,So much for a sweet, lower her in the water, for a gentle release kind of technique, your so good at,Ha,ha.Your slowly climbing the ladder to catching the new state record.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jeff! Haha! There was no way I was gently putting that one back in. I would have been swimming right beside it if I had tried lol.

[@chrisreumont]

So does that fish qualify as a golly whopper? Lol

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Yes, that fish is definitely golly whopper size.

[@waltwalt3282]

Damn getting that fish in the boat was really impressive

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Walt!

[@stephenhair5501]

Holy Moly!! What a Tank of a fish!! You had a Stellar Day my friend!! Thanks for sharing this. 😎👍👍

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy! It was a great day.

[@foothillscrafted1056]

Great fish! Thanks for posting, I'm aiming for my own small-craft trophy cat later this year and you gave me some things to consider beforehand.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Good luck on your big cat quest this year!

[@daledeaton6905]

Dude is always catching massive fish

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Dale! I try my best.

[@daledeaton6905]

Kayak Catfish really enjoy the videos

[@edgarashford2283]

Wow! that was a monster blue catfish. 👌👍🎣🎣

[@bigrivercatfish799]

Awesome catch really nice blue fish👍fish on

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you!

[@CHUNKYCATSFISHING]

Congratulations my friend absolutely fantastic catch👊

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Elstan!

[@BirdOnCats]

Awesome. Not much else to say after that. I'm gonna get one that big this year too. It's funny, I started hunting cats from my kayak last year and I cussed up a storm dealing with pleasure boater wake and high, shifting winds. In the end, you crank in a pig like that and all of the extraneous crap is borne away on the breeze. Kayak fishing is really something else and I'm stoked to see what the rest of 2019 brings folks like you and I! As always, 🤙🤙🤙

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I think you summed it up perfectly. The kayak isn’t an efficient platform to fish from but the fun you have on it makes it worthwhile. Thanks for watching! Good luck this year!

[@ericadams9299]

Looks like it go over 50. Tank for sure!👍

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Eric!

[@nchiker6215]
