[@goodcitizen64]

Grandma sent us out to get a willow tree switch! Holy smoke...hurt so bad!!

I have a pond prowler 8 ($629) with casting deck, a yadao 3.5hp ($180) Amazon three years still running strong and a 30lb trolling motor had for along time. Perfect for fishing like this super stable

Speaking of the cold weather, up here in da frozen tundra of Northwest Wisconsin on the shore of Lake Superior we had a temperature of 33 degrees with 30 mph winds and freezing rain yesterday. Today it warmed up to 37 degrees. My lawn is just starting to turn green and the trees are just starting to get buds. Haven't been able to turn off my furnace yet either. Burrr 😊

[@markgray8360]

It's amazing how small the channels are that you have in Tennessee, compared to northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. Weget them 10 to 15 pounds up here.I wish we had blues up here! I have had to prove many people wrong about blues here. They don't understand the "blue phase" of a channel cat!

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

I’m roughing it during a thunderstorm, in a tent, with a dog at Rough River. Gonna start fish tomorrow morning. 😅

[@KayakCatfish]

Be safe up there. Hope you have a fun trip.

[@user-jo9lj1dq3l]

Hello Justin, I’m thinking that the material that you’re talking about is also used in drag racing. I raced for a few years. I think it’s carbon fiber

[@andreasbakkers2210]

Today I'm off to the Ebro in Spain. Hope to break the record catfish from last year. 2m35cm ( 7feet 7). 2 days pain in my back. Great video again.

[@KayakCatfish]

Good luck!

Would you do me a flavor one time?? Upcoming catfish video put on a small chicken breast cut on a hook and see how it compares?? You can cook up the other one!! LOL Proud of you and thanks for the great tips, tricks and commentary!!

Thank you Greg! I will be using chicken next month at the Sandusky Bay tournament. I’m sure I will take some skipjack with me too.

Stuff happens. My crazy anchor line story. I was fishing in a deep-water canal in the Everglades, 20+ feet deep. Anchor line has a clip on one end that I clip to the boat, line is 75 feet long, goes to a small chain and then the anchor. Wind was blowing pretty hard. Got on fish and dropped the anchor and tied off with around 35 foot of rope in the water. School of fish was moving back so I untied the anchor and started drifting back with them. As I’m reeling in a fish, I feel the anchor line come tight. Next think I know the line pulls free from the clip and I see my line slowly sinking. I hit the mark button on my fish finder to mark the spot, finish catching and releasing the fish, and then return to where I lost my anchor. After several minutes of contemplation, I decided to tie on a heavy jig with a large hook to try and snag my anchor line. Several casts with no luck and I was getting discouraged and frustrated thinking I will have to buy a new anchor set up. Tried again, as I’m reeling in the jig dragging it on the bottom it comes tight. Great now I’m snagged on the bottom, there goes the only chance I had as I only had one big heavy jig. As I pull hard to break my line, the line starts pulling back. What could this be. I end up fighting what ever was pulling back, chasing it up and down the canal, with the motor running, several times as it was way heavier than my 8# test could handle and I was close to being spooled. Felt it turn direction again and make a deep dive. Several minutes later I see my anchor line sliding up my fishing line back to the surface. At this point I was more concentrating on getting my anchor line before my line breaks on this monster. Finally get my anchor line in hand and tied off to the boat. Back to my rod. After a few more minutes I started gaining line back on my reel. I can see by the angle of my line what I had hooked was coming to the surface. I was shocked to see I snagged a 6 foot alligator. All dumb luck. Lost my anchor and line, snagged an alligator that eventually swam below my anchor line and forced it to the surface to where I could grab it and get my anchor back. Alligator left with a Jig piercing in its side and a heck of a story for both of us.

[@KayakCatfish]

I would have needed new underwear when that alligator popped up lol

[@peterderidder9922]

You did it again Justin ! again a huge one ... congrats ! but I gonna repead myself: Once there gonna comme a day You will regret you didnt measure ONLY the woppers and tanks ! BTW I'm not the only one who want you to measure ONLY the tanks ! Please do it for youre audience ;-) !

Justin you had that tournament just needed that bobber on your lines

[@andybass2045]

What about the neterial they use for them floating fica will that work for a kayack

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

I used to watch Survivor, some of the earlier shows, but I liked the show where Roger Bingham from crittenden Ky won, I guess cause he was a home state boy. Believed he called Kentucky Joe or something like that

[@johnknotts885]

The uncut videos are definitely my favorite. Have you seen fire in the sky? If not check it out. And I agree the civil war movie was horrible.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I will have to check it out.

[@dwaynefowler7093]

hey what do you think about john wick i hopeing for#5,6,7 at some point i likethe under wold movies

[@KayakCatfish]

I enjoyed the John Wick movies.

[@keithdocreed]

GollyWhopper to end the trip 🎉🎉🎉

[@KayakCatfish]

There are some more coming too. I hit some more creeks around that area last week and caught big fish at all of them.

[@Drawn2Animate]

Oh, that was bigem at the end

[@RobertTorrey]

Hey Justin! Would you mind linking you video that shows how you rig up your rod holders. I have a Hobie Mirage with the Hobie track. I have my Yak Attack mounts but they seem so flimsy! I am afraid that if I catch a big blue, it will cause trouble. I remember seeing one of you video before with you method to make you rod holders more rigid. Thanks in advance! Peace brother!

[@KayakCatfish]

1x6 boards and u bolts to attach to the Hobie H rail has held up pretty well for me

[@joshhills4660]

I just moved to kingsport tennessee any suggestions on where to find bait to use at cut bait or do bluegills work as well as skipjacks??

[@KayakCatfish]

Not sure if there are any skipjack up there or not. I would use whatever bait you are able to catch in the water you plan on catfishing.

[@AlleyCatPro2023]

Hey! I wanted to ask a question or two. Where did you get your measuring board for tournaments and how do i get into fishing the OCT tournaments? Do you still like those online tournaments?

[@KayakCatfish]

Muskie bumper sells the boards. You can find the tournaments on the fishing chaos app. I haven’t been doing the online events this year. I have been focused on the in person trail.

[@AlleyCatPro2023]

@KayakCatfish are those also on the fishing chaos app? I'll go up against you. I will probably lose, but I'd give it a shot!😂

[@KayakCatfish]

Yes

[@jamescardwell3254]

I had what felt like a good quality fish hooked up 2 years ago it straighted 8/0 gamakatsu thick wire circle hook to the point it slipped out, and I lost the fish. I don't understand it, but it happens. To make matters worse it was the only hook up all night lol.

Ok, Got my coffee and snacks. let's go fishin'. But let's try not to get my tater chips wet.

[@oregonsmalljaw3732]

The director used California and Texas to make it vague which political party they belong to. If he made it Texas and say Arizona it would be to obvious the Western forces are Republica . It would have been annoying if he made the wester forces Democrats and the president Republican . That would piss off half of the audience considering the president was in for a third term and doing a bunch of authoritarian actions. I'm happy he didn't make it Republican's are bad and Democrats good or vise versa. I agree the story was very shallow and it needed more depth on what caused the civil war besides the quick news broadcast that said the president was in for a third term and disbanded the FBI.
