You should start tagging your fish just to see how many of the same fish that you catch or get a hole punch and punch a tail or fin. Love the kayak

[@stillakilla7520]

I love that idea!!!

[@Hayden-jz2bp]

The intro you sounded really excited

[@barryd.thomassr.9156]

Justin, I am from CAPE MAY COUNTY NJ, Found your Video's and have been here since. Clean Family Safe Content, Not filled with Equiptment commercials telling about all the Sponsored Stuff. JUST FISHING! New Katak looks Good@ !

[@richardchapman3990]

It's nice to watch a guy catch fish without complaining all the time. Congratulations on the new rig, being able to stay on course will definitely get you more fish.

[@maxwizz1]

His "nice size" would be like my lifetime achievement fish...>LOL His dinks are my awesomes!

[@roberthicks7761]

Not getting to fish much this year so seeing your videos means a lot .

[@MasterLordProAngler]

That kayak is the coolest thing ive seen for awhile

[@timeddy5158]

Fishing the Tennessee River is on my bucket list. Perhaps you might insider having a contest, of course which I would win, to fish with you on the River. Love your videos, humor and information about fishing.

[@ericanderson827]

No fishing with him on the river. He has already said its too awkward an experience and I would tend to agree. Many people have offered him money to go fishing with him and he nipped it in the bud. Lol

[@_face773]

You’ll be at 100K before or by 2021 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 love this channel..

[@donprater2754]

Gilligan Island comment and love boat made Me lose My breath .I laughed so hard. Your the best!

[@tnfishingaddiction3395]

Another great time on the water. Glad to see the new setup is working out. Takes out a bunch of headaches for sure and gives you more time to wet a line 🎣🎣🎣

[@supraguy149]

I absolutely appreciate the entertainment you provide for us. Thank you!

[@tracytodd8934]

I love that new Kayak!! What great way to multitasking and be able to relax and really enjoy the fishing!

[@MakeTimeForFishing]

Great video as usual! I cannot express my jealousy enough that your kayak has an autopilot motor like that. I'm happy just to have a kayak to get on the water but that motor looks like a game changer

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

Ppl like your channel bc you're a real dude and we get a ton of good tips from you

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Glad to see the auto pilot working out well for you... I could tell you were eager to have it working ! We are hoping to come down to the TN River one day (we are in E. TN) and do some fishing... Thank you for the information you provide... I am sure it will come in handy... Thank you so much for sharing !

[@tonyjessen8204]

Another great day on the water thanks for taking us along for the ride stay safe👍👍

Thanks for another awesome video Justin ✌️I think I'm the reason for the I ain't no Justin johnson video from catfish Dave 🥴

[@crappieslayer89]

Your videos are the highlight of my day. Keep up the great work. 😊😊

[@randyauman5453]

I enjoy the videos, and keeping it humble!!! Thanks!!!!

[@lalalalala9649]

its all about the fun in catching the fish it sucks to have to reset every time u catch a big one or a boat goes by or fast current takes time away from catching fish so if you have the chance to not have to reset go for it.Its all about the thrill of the catch .Great vid as always

[@porknbeans7407]

Catfish Dave says he’s no “Justin Johnson” maybe he needs a autopilot! Lol

[@rickygroover]

Awesome vid Justin! That kayak def makes things easier! Keep up the great work and God Bless!!

[@terrydeaton9586]

Love that set up, Justin. Thanks for sharing.

[@joshjarnigan8279]

Its always a good start to the day when u at least catching fish. Keep up the good vids Justin. Cant wait to see the next one

[@shanesstilltalking]

Things were wild at the office today or I would have watched and commented earlier, Justin! Punished the slab bluegill on the smelt Gulp 2-inch (Fishbrain - Coach Shane) but nothing on the big rig with one of those gills cut up. Lines tight Justin, thumbs up! I’m a certified scuba diver here in AR!

[@KayakCatfish]

Congrats on the scuba certification!

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Justine you make it look easy man! I know 100% it's not! Great video! Happy Fishing!!!

[@bobbynewton9247]

You caught some nice ones there Justin enjoyed brother get excited when I see you post video thanks for taking us along

[@knightfishing]

You're gonna love that thing in your bass tourneys 👍

[@KayakCatfish]

Unfortunately the bass tourneys I fish don’t allow motors.

[@michaelsailors7794]

That's a awesome setup!! You'll be able to stay on the big fish areas better with that motor. Great video and see you next time

[@justinflores5427]

The great think about the ipilot is while you are following that contour if you get into a group of fish you can hit the spot lock and sit then once you take the spot lock of it will resume your original navigation. I love mine on my boat.

[@KayakCatfish]

I am planning on doing exactly what you just described. I feel like I have missed out on a lot of fish in the past by drifting through a school of active fish too quickly.

[@justinflores5427]

@@KayakCatfish it helps so much, I live in north Dakota and use it all the time for walleye. Its also a great feature when you are fighting a big fish or have multiple on at the same time like you do fairly often.

[@RonPresley]

Love Autopilot and love the Tennessee River. Thanks for the video.

[@tomw3380]

That is a heck of a setup. If I were young enough to use a kayak that is one I would be interested in. Tight lines

Man you arw SPOILED!!!! 😂😂😂 Glad to see it working for ya bud!!! I'm gonna go hit Taylorsville lake this Saturday. Found a steep ledge close enough to cast from the bank till my boat gets done. I'm seriously considering one of those motors for it. Keep those vids coming. But nedt time use some crappie!!😂😂😂

Stay safe everybody!!

[@chrispearce2208]

I’ll be real interested to see how u like that kayak compared to the Pa, the pa is just so wide, big and stable..however that spot lock motor on a kayak is a game changer!!!!

[@davehendricks4824]

Justin sound excited in his intro? Never! 😂 I want to catch a gollywhopper.

[@tbaxter1706]

I love your videos. Thanks so much for taking the time to put them together and present them to us. A couple of questions: 1) Which model of the power Kayak do you have? 2) Is there a trailer for it? Is it easy to launch and load up? Can an aging fellow like me handle it okay (60+ yo) ??

[@KayakCatfish]

It is the Old Town Autopilot 136. I haul it on a jet ski trailer. It is heavy. I would definitely recommend a trailer versus car topping.

[@geofftmang9910]

Awesome Justin love the new kayak been a subscriber for a long time 👍 Catfish Dave has spoken of u lately lol

[@ncbackwoods6859]

I couldn't stand the beeping noise, great video man! I'm glad ya like your new kayak

[@KayakCatfish]

Yeah that beeping will get tiresome on the early morning trips when it is really quiet outside.

[@ncbackwoods6859]

@@KayakCatfish oh yea I'm sure, I do love how sturdy that kayak is though. When the boat wakes was coming I woulda had to sit down lol

a long time ago when i use to work in marina's with my FCC radio lic back in 1979 lic time..i use to know big fishing boats,, using point to point using the Loran system,, it seems even you small can be doing the same system,, a 1 day of fishing is a yr added to you life,, good luck, i too both fishing all my life too, but i technology all the way so far,,, it's all because the sats above your head

Got to get me one of those fish. Missing being on the water

[@aldohar6175]

I agree 100%, time to needle(not noodle) catfish dave

[@myadventureoutdoors]

Ok, this actually impressed me. Will it save routes and waypoints?

[@KayakCatfish]

It will save up to 10 routes/waypoints

[@greenpea9412]

So Jason at 4:32 when that fish hit are you then hitting the spot lock to keep you in place or are you still just limping along while fighting the fish?

[@bentleyboi8358]

Love your vids man

[@theangryamerican3506]

Oh. Hey. Can you do a navionics instructional about where to find fish?

[@KayakCatfish]

If you are wanting help with reading a contour map, the Buck Perry structure fishing book series is the best resource I know of. It is geared toward bass but the same concepts apply to cats too.

Have you considered using the spot lock when you hookup?

Yes, I plan to do that more often in the future

[@treytemplin3496]

Nice fish. Can you show a closer view of your fish finder? Hard to see it in this video.

[@itzblayke8137]

You should try some ocean kayak fishin

[@ForYeshua1]

Do you ever have problems with fish getting gut hooked with circle hooks?

[@KayakCatfish]

Once or twice per year

[@georgeromonskyremaxgo8692]

BTW do you ever keep any for eating? I can see letting the big ones go but some of those dinks would be tastey! LOL

[@matthewandreidfishing8011]

Nice videos man

[@aldohar6175]

Also does the new kayak motor help with the wake from bigger boats!

[@KayakCatfish]

It handles the boat wake pretty well.

[@TimCrutcher1]

Would frozen solid pieces slow the dinks down? Would hitting Anchor be of any use when a good hookup happens to stay on that spot for a minute longer?

[@KayakCatfish]

Frozen bait thaws pretty quick this time of year with our water temps in the high 80’s. I do plan to use the spot lock when I get on a school of fish while drifting. I think I have missed out on a lot of fish in the past by drifting through a school to quickly

[@bobhuber6628]

I’m sold on the Autopilot. Unfortunately OldTown is backed up on production. Need to be patient. Good fish. Did you mount your transducer in the designated spot? That was an initial concern of yours.

[@KayakCatfish]

I mounted the transducer on a ram mount over the side of the kayak. I’m just not a fan of the designated transducer spot on this kayak.

[@brandonh6562]

I have to ask, whats the current speed were you fish on the Tennessee River?

[@KayakCatfish]

Most days around 0.5mph when they are generating

[@craigstutts7560]

Spot lock is a great tool when it works. But its useless when it don't just an over priced trolling motor at that point. Had one on my big boat and it was just to much trouble.

[@KayakCatfish]

I definitely have some concerns about long term durability with the first one I had tearing up after a few hours.

[@craigstutts7560]

The one I had worked great for a month or so. I think it was all the constant movement that got it..

[@bo5258]

so how did you mount your transducer? on side not should all new kayak have a bad "juju" ?😉

[@KayakCatfish]

Yes, I mounted the transducer on the side. I am definitely going to blame my poor fishing on the bad juju lol.

[@69Nova396]

So were you able to reach the rails from the front hatch to put the backing plates on?

[@KayakCatfish]

No. I had to drill the holes and drop some line through there to snake the backing plates into place. It was a tough project. The wires running down the side of the hull make getting that backing plate into place difficult.

Depends on the conditions and what type of fishing you are doing

People complained when you put an electric motor on your old kayak and now they'll complain about your new kayak with the auto function. Funny I thought the idea of fishing was catching fish. Technology that makes that easier is fine by me!
