[@joeyskaggs2519]

Thank you Justin! I found your last uncut video dialogue extremely entertaining! Great job buddy!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you so much Joey! I really appreciate you.

[@donaldthomas6520]

I'm here watching till the end brother love watching your videos. Peace out from Ohio Don T

[@faronmastin8683]

I know we are suppose to be like fishing together on these videos but I can't get a word in edge wise. Lol

[@nikkihayes9236]

😂

[@dandurham4288]

Cool you in the other kayak

[@johnavonyates4105]

Hilarious

[@OhioRiverFisherman]

I went catfishing at The Licking River using live creek chubbs. I got a big bite and set the hook, fought and fought and got it in, 4lb smallmouth bass!!! Pleasently surprised!!! When the geese come in the video, just look at that view!!! Its a blessing to be able to get out there and enjoy the water!!!

[@metalfacehertel]

Justin us left handers are the few and the chosen. Don't sell yourself short. LOL

[@nikkihayes9236]

Yes we are!

[@aaronhall4850]

I broke my ankle in 4 places about a month ago. I have another month to go before i can walk. I dont really watch tv. I work fish, and hunt. These videos have been a life saver for me! Reminding me of better days! Id rather be fishing myself, but this has been a good for my spirit. Thank you.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Aaron! Hope your recovery goes well.

[@d-squaredoutdoors5670]

Another great video. Most of us will watch no matter what format you publish. I think a lot of us would even enjoy your bait runs.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy! I actually have a couple unedited bait runs filmed and scheduled to come out over the next two weeks.

[@dylanjohnson7162]

Great content as always, ill be getting a kayak and catfish/carp rod and rods later on, due to how fun this looks

[@akilla4reala669]

Suspending from my kayak and my pontoon are my favorite ways to fish too. Lazy man fishing I guess.🤣😂✌️

[@kurtfredregill3324]

Mic sounds good and video image is good also like the content turned out good

[@be643]

The audio is clearer but not as textured of that makes sense. I like the depth of the sound with background sounds. It's good either way.

[@sueweiss5171]

Can't wait til k&k fishing comes to fish with u!!!

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

I just got off the water myself. Put a hurting on them with the ultra light. I got a gill over 9” today avd a crappie over 10. I’m loving the scope it’s fun as heck and money well spent

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s awesome! Glad it’s working well for you

[@nikkihayes9236]

Hope you get a Flattie too!🎣🤞🍀 I'm definitely one who LOVES to fish from sun-up to sun-down. For some of us, body piercings are just pretty decorations for the face/ears, IF one coordinates correctly.🥰 But I cannot even with eyebrow piercings...🤢 That's so cool that Mama J has tattoos!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@akilla4reala669]

Let’s do this!👌🎣

[@MrZap765]

[@roberthowe5315]

Better fish this day and those last 2 whoppers really topped it off as a great video justin stay safe out there buddy luv these videos

[@be643]

The only bass fisherman I watch also participates in a trail that goes by length. Same measuring board system with identifiers.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the rods!

[@andybass2045]

I love these typ if videos

[@guyrogers3410]

My father and I have fished for bream in Reelfoot and it is an amazing place that puts you in the mood to look for dinosaurs. It's been 60 years since enjoying those cypress knees... you will enjoy!

[@randyshaw8613]

Done with the the first half of the video good quality so far can't wait to fish the video

[@jeremydearing8600]

[@patriciabolduc4613]

Great video and the last one was BIG one 🦈🎣🎣👍

[@ajfeltr]

Video and sound is just fine. Great video, good stories.

[@Raphy_Industries]

This is my first time seeing your stuff and I love it. The video and audio seems good to me. Keep it up sir, great content!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks!

[@leerose9933]

I'm so thankful to see you. Thank you 👍. I wish you had some live crappie for bait 😂!

[@nateclem7336]

Mic is sounding great, good video Justin

[@leerose9933]

Nice golly woper!!! I'm pumping my left fist along with you!! Nice job my friend 👍

It sounds good.... like watching your uncut videos.....

[@AndrewRodgers-iz4su]

Great video im with you on touraments, makes sense.

[@dopeoutdoors]

Awesome video buddy! I love steinhatchee!

[@thejohnleos]

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has these days 😂 last week wasn’t it for me.

[@davecampbell3455]

:) love your content Justin.

[@y2jamest2099]

Nice fish to end the video. And that mic sounded fine

[@greglee9909]

DGI vs Go Pro? Dude, do what you like better. To me, both are good quality in sound and video. I wish you would set up an auction so we can bid on a fishing pole that's ours and choose our own bait! Would be fun and different. Keep up the great work and as always, proud of you brother.

[@FishinwithSquirrel]

Audio is 👍. That little mic sounds good. How do you have your camera attached to your life jacket? It always faces straight. I use the GoPro on a flex mount and that thing turns on me constantly. Thanks 🐿

[@KayakCatfish]

I just wedge it in between the area where my life jacket zips up

[@twobig24]

I'm from Michigan and would love to come fishing with you would be fun

[@jamescardwell3254]

Honestly I can't really tell a difference in the cameras as far as cat fishing there was a few little issues with the auto focus ultralight fishing but it didn't bother me and the sound is great so far. Brother I say use what's easiest on you. And the only focus issue was when you were on a bluegill or whatever sometimes it would clearly focus on something else for a second. And I promise you I will give you my honest opinion whether someone else likes it or not. I'm straight up just the way I like people to be with me don't sugar coat something because thays what I want to hear.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@faronmastin8683]

Mic sounds good

[@stangreene9151]

I'm cool being your fishing partner but you dint me enough to be your therapist to 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

That’s the way it is driving Rt.27 through Somerset Ky , there’s a red light seems like every 75-100 ft or so, geez man! To get from the North end of Somerset to Burnside Ky, takes quite awhile seems like, what a bunch of hoohah! Hell bud, I’m 64 years old and disabled and still have bad days like that too, makes you feel like why the did I ever get out of bed that day!

[@koriman2001]

I think it works great for audio!! And the visual ain't that bad either. Sounds like it's gonna be easier for you. I would say make sure that mic is on your vest good and tight!! This video being talking about your life and your channel. I loved watching this video. I watch a lot of your videos with my son and it's nice to have a clean cut non fowl language. Regular Joe fishing like what we do when we go fishin.

[@andybass2045]

Another 👊 worthy may the 4th be with you

[@andybass2045]

Nice

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

Mic sounds good. Loud and clear.

[@andybass2045]

A d not to mention your light fishing technique go good in the kyack

[@johncambra9332]

Looks good to me.

[@andybass2045]

Maybe that can be next Tuesday video ultrlight fishing

[@codyreece7871]

The goose is like a bass fisherman, got the whole river and they wont to get right on you, i quote. Man i can relate to that one bad incident a month ago. I must have had 8 to ten dam bass boats like come up the river run and every dang one of the stopped and started fishing within like 200 yards of me. Finally I got pissed after about a hour of it bc not one of those pricks left so i decided to. Idle passed all them and ill damned if fish wasn't jumping everywhere in less than a quarter mile past them where the river entrance is they all passed up to come stop where i was. And sorry your day went so bad the day you put the trike together i definitely have bad days myself

[@user-wd9jg5fi3m]

Longer videos are great

[@patriciabolduc4613]

Got the last one 🎣🦈🦈

[@FishingForQuality13]

Hey Justin what do u do with the old bait u take off your hook

[@KayakCatfish]

I throw it out at the end of the trip

[@mosfishingandmore]

Loved the video buddy, thank you. And the microphone sounds good. Just a little side note about your sprayer wand. I live in Nebraska, and for me I’ve had the same thing happen to me. For mine it was because up here it gets pretty dang cold and I didn’t dry out all the moisture out of my wand and it froze over the winter and caused the line to split from freezing. I don’t know if that might have been the cause for you but just a thought. Keep up the good work on the videos. Thanks again.

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s a good observation. We had a frigid winter. I bet mine froze and cracked too.

[@andybass2045]

I said ince and i have said it a second time Justin for angler of the year kets go!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m gonna be in contention for it

[@leerose9933]

I'm reminding you, hoby, Stinky. That's the way a fishing kayak is supposed to smell 😂!

[@tystick22]

Used to run the lift at harbor lights there across from ya.

[@peterderidder9922]

Dear Justin , Spawning takes a lot of energy from those fishes, this is why they not fighting so hard ! ! Most of the fish you caught where verry skinny so they have been spawning and lost lots of energy ; So all the cats who have been spawning must charge there batts for a few weeks ;-)

[@KayakCatfish]

They haven’t spawned yet. If they had, they would be beat up from defending the nests

[@austinchandler6330]

I just purchased my first kayak .. A Pelican Catch 10ft love it yet to purchase a trolling motor any advice in a model

[@KayakCatfish]

I would try to get the lightest motor and battery for that kayak since the weight capacity isn’t very high

[@andybass2045]

👊 worthy

[@allknowingblonde]

I am from Sandusky bay and let me tell ya, we have some solid catfish and tons of water snakes lol 😂

[@KayakCatfish]

I have never seen so many snakes in my life as when I up there. It was crazy.

[@andybass2045]

I wounder what the temos are in the live wrll before they are relised back into the lake

[@KayakCatfish]

Probably much warmer than the lake after it’s baked in the boat all day

[@user-pi8yt7kk2m]

you should come to the kingston steam plant and fish i have been catching good size catfish

[@davemason672]

Hi Justin, love the videos very informative and entertaining. I live near this body of water on Chickamauga and was wondering where you launched at

[@KayakCatfish]

If I announced my launch site on here, you would never be able to fish there because of all the people who would show up lol

[@davemason672]

Fair enough….

[@highplainsdrifter6384]

Sound is good. No issue for me.

[@andybass2045]

And Justin ran it all the way back gor a pick 6

[@MattOutdoorAdventures]

I love the DJI mic 2 - I use it for my videos - sounding great with the new mic. Are you using the attached clip or the magnetic pad? Thanks for the raw and uncut Catfishing video.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I have been using the clip. I just attach it to my life jacket.

[@NemoRoafs369]

Audio is great

[@maxxumyoung7624]

Hey Justin i have been struggling lately with the flatheads to but i used cut crappie on my last trip and it landed me a 39 inch flathead. Try crappie maybe it will get you one.

[@user-rl9ui5kj5k]

What kind of reel and size are you fishing with? Love the videos! I’m learning a lot!

[@KayakCatfish]

Shimano Tekota 600. All my gear is listed in the video description

[@mylyloy]

Will loves the fishing in Louisiana but he does not like the state. He calls it Lowsyana. I’ve never been. Your kitty Adrienne threw up probably because her diet needed to change? I grew up with having cats and we have two cats now. Some have more sensitive stomachs than others. The litter robot is a game changer. Noooo that’s not all I’ve taken away from your video😊 you always have valuable information too. Thanks for taking us fishing! 🎣

[@loriwoods7139]

Your mic is doing great I can hear a lot better. Before I couldn't hardly hear you at all.

[@ITigerbaum]

"If today was a fish I'd throw it back."

[@killswitch7775]

What kind of fish finder or transducer are you running on your rig?

[@KayakCatfish]

Raymarine Dragonfly 5

[@jamescardwell3254]

I hope me leaving multiple coments dont bother you. I try to follow the conversation. If i dont by the end of the video ive forgoten what i want to comment on and get frustrated and dont leave any sometimes lol. I could see that dragging could definitely up your average and your spreading your own sent trail, but like you like suspending bait. I like bank fishing for the same reason I like to see rod go down or hear the clicker going off. I have used line counter reel on a good day with my average bait size my cast is some where between 100ft to 120 ft. I know a line counter slows a reel down some but not enough to make that much difference from a visual it would appear to 10ft or so. Even if I'm on a boat with a friend I still cast baits out but 99% of the time were in the back water creeks around 20 to 25ft deep catching fish feeding in and out of the creek. I would try suspending if we fished deeper water I think it would be a blast. I get excited watching your rods go down especially when the fish is pulling drag.

[@user-md2wo4sq8n]

😂 get her

[@blind-dateoutdoorssportsma547]

Sure could have used these fish on tournament day lol.
