INSANE DOUBLE!!! Two Rare Fish Caught At The Same Time!!!

[@65FullMoon83]

Justin, the carp that had you stumped as to what it was @ the end of the video is called a *"fully scaled mirror carp."* Yeah, it's a mirror carp too! Nice work! 🙂👍

[@lacygearheart5700]

Really loving the carp content! Maybe try a long video with lite tackle, moving to catties with your catch from your crappie and blue-gill for bait. Ending it with carp catches. A 1 hr video with all three would be epic. Great work bro.

[@davidmccormick9022]

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you David! I appreciate your support.

That hat makes you! Thanks for the throwback.

[@mikebyers4798]

So glad to see someone else catch the carp bug!

[@charlesmoore9118]

This bring back some memory's from my teenage years. We fished for carp in a canal. There wasn't enough room to run so they would jump. Getting a ten pound carp jumping clear of the water gets the blood pumping.

[@sethsteele7163]

Mirror carp are common carp just with a genetic variation that causes unique scale patterns. So while rarer than most carp they are still the same thing.

[@wikida391]

Nothing wrong w/ the carp vids at all imo. Here in Colorado many of our lakes are over flowing with them and they can get HUGE! It’s great fishing with medium tackle for walleyes trout etc. and hooking into a 20lb carp. Can really change a fishing trip for the better.

Used to fish the Fox River in Illinois for carp and always had a great time. Recently bought a kayak due partially to watching your videos and on a recent creek trip noticed some very nice 5 to 10 pound carp swimming around. Time to get after it again. Thanks for the great videos.

That last carp was a solid mirror. Best specimen I've seen in a while. On the same note. They school with commons. You'll see em mixed in with one another. What's crazy is when there is a ghost mixed in with them. Or a large fantail. They just look out of place. Good fish Justin. Love seeing you carp fish during the summer

When I was younger, about 32 years ago, I worked on a farm gathering eggs. The lady that worked with me, her husband was fishing and caught a 64 pound grass carp, was in the local paper.

[@thecarpiologist5139]

Really love your videos! If I can make a suggestion. Your fishing for smaller carp back in the creeks. The big fish(30lbs plus) are on the main lake shallow water close to deep water. Prebait a shallow point on the main lake a few times and fish it. Bring a bigger net!! I'm continuing to watch and I can't wait to see you hook a monster!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks for the info! I definitely plan on hitting some main lake areas this fall when boat traffic dies down. The perk of fishing in the creeks for carp is avoiding all the pleasure boats and bass fishermen that plague the main lake.

[@Meet_Me_In_The_Pit]

U need to do a carp tourney.u would fare out well

[@KenDean-le8ws]

Love watching you,Carp fish. I’m trying to get into that also so much fun.

In the cold weather you get chain saw man... a lot! LOL

[@Hunt4lyf]

Another great video! I specifically targeted carp for the first time the other night with my daughter and she reeled in her first one, about 10 lbs, the fight was epic for a 10 yr old and she is frothing at the mouth to go out after them again. Thanks!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Glad she had a great time

[@james6495]

It's awesome to see my favorite cat fisherman go down the carp rabbit hole! I've quit catfishing pretty much and 99.9% carp fishing.

Another good trip, Justin. I just enjoy going fishing with you. You seem to have a good time, whatever you catch. Keep on keeping on and I will keep watching 👀.

Gotta love the carp fishing! When I catfish, I also throw out for carp too.

[@stanpersful4723]

I know in Arkansas the mirror carp all kinda concentrate together in the lakes. We used to get out of the boat in the timpber and snag them. I got a 36lb one back in the early 90s when they first got prominent there.

[@williamclarius7072]

Justin, to make your pack bait more intense add some pro-cure sweet corn gel scent attractant to the corn on the hair rig, then sit back and see how many more fish you catch

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks. I’ll add that to my next carp gear order.

[@blackwarrior2443]

Ol kayak catfish&carp fishing🤣 just Jkn I like all your vids👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@johnpatient4815]

Justin the first carp you caught was a leather carp, the second one was a true mirror carp. They are both sub speces in the carp family.

[@nickgadayev7507]

We call those scaly mirrors! Awesome video!

[@james6495]

The second mirror is called a fully scaled mirror. They don't travel together anymore than commons do. They were just bread that way by the monks in the early days. It makes them easier to clean for eating.

[@kennypuffenbarger3468]

What kind of reels do you havw on your carp rods?

Diawa regal 3000

Thanks Keith!

[@thecreepypastapoet3673]

Justin, just to plant a little seed, what do you think of this idea? Seeing all of those bait fish jumping around makes me think there might be some bigger cats, or who knows what, swimming around in the creeks, as well. I know you can't do cut bait because of the turtles, but what if you had a live bluegill swimming around under a balloon off of the back of the kayak while you were carp fishing. You never know. I appreciate you taking me fishing with you no matter what you're catching. I don't know if you remember me or not, but this is James Kelly. I have commented on some of your live streams before. I changed my channel name. Thanks again.

[@KayakCatfish]

I will definitely use more cut and live bait in the creeks while carp fishing when our water cools off. Right now, the turtles just destroy anything I throw out whether it’s cut or live.

[@thecreepypastapoet3673]

@@KayakCatfish Dang turtles, lol.

[@tiffymcconkey]

Throw back to the Tennessee hat!!! As always, awesome video

[@heathk8]

Great content! My grandfather who taught me to fish and love fishing hated the dog days of summer. He would switch to catching carp just to get a pull on the line. Made his own bait out of crushed up whole grain cereal, vanilla, and cinnamon. good memories. What is more fun/challenging? a four pound channel on 2 pound line on your ultra lite or those big carp on your light action rods? don't be biased against mister channel cat.

[@daviddura1172]

MAYBE you caught MR and MRS as they were out shoppin.... LOL

[@TheOsmodius]

You gotta hit Dale Hollow since you've caught the carp bug. I spent a week out there early May and we landed 31 carp, all 17-30lbs and over half were fully scaled mirrors. Amazing place.

Memories of growing up fishing with parents and just catching fish. Memories of Mom cooking up dough and working it while it was still warm. Parents letting us kids mix jello, Wheaties, or garlic concoctions and catching that 10,15,or 20 pound fish. No cell phones to record the catch. Just memories. Thanks

If you got a smoker, try smoking one of those big ole carp. They are one of the best tasting smoked fish you can get. They have enough grease that they don't dry out. Just slow smoke and drizzle beer on them every hour or so and they are awesome. Very under-rated.

Can you start weighing the carp in the net?

It doesn’t matter to me how much they weigh

[@pimpmasterx7]

Carp fishing is fun, on the mirror vs common carp The mirror carp and the common carp are the same, but the mirrors have a certain gene that causes the weird scales. Kind of like hiw a black strip crappie is just a black crappie with a specific gene to get the stripe on its back

We got some pretty decent size carp and catfish here in Ohio, Indian Lake and Grand Lake St Mary's have got some really big carp in there I'm talking 30 40 lb, it would really be awesome if you were ever in Ohio to hit the Ohio River it's the boundary between Ohio and Kentucky but right below that bridge and just passed the dam there are some monsters that hang out down there. As a matter of fact there's a story about the Ohio River Bridge, I'll give you the short version the rest you might have to look into, but some years back there was a big flood and they had to send some divers down there below the bridge to remove some trees and other obstructions from the pilings down there and one of the divers happened to look out in front of him and there appeared to be what looked like two giant headlights that were spaced about 3 ft apart, and they couldn't figure out what this was until it got close enough to see that it was a monstrous catfish big enough to swallow a man, and they got out of there pretty quick

[@douglasmedlin7159]

That maybe another subspecies called a leather carp. Done some research some german monks in the 1800s bread them that way to make them easier to clean. The 2nd one is a mirror its is just young even though its big.
