I Was Not Expecting To Catch This GIANT Fish!!!

[@phammerable]

“Sometimes your dumb, and sometimes you’re an ass, today I’m a dumbass” is one of the funniest sayings I’ve heard all year

[@jasonhayes2778]

You have to have mad respect a man who owns up to his mistakes and even post the video. Much respect.

[@kouki2123]

Yoo straight up was thinking the same thing as I was reading your post. Respect. Hats off to you sir

[@johnbroadwell2603]

I agree Jason, I scrolled down to comment as soon as I saw that,,,, I would never have told that on myself,,,

[@melvinmariott8609]

Yeah it had me rolling lol.

[@mattlyles8695]

Lol! At least there wasn’t a ramp full of people watching and laughing!

[@dustyholt1642]

Lol...naw just 85.4k you tubers watching

[@virginian7317]

You know someone saw it. Justin was too quick to put it on Facebook!

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Yes, I went to a lake once to fish for big Red Ear, My sister in law was riding with me. We were coming to shore by a dock that was loaded with people, when I came back up from flipping the boat, the dock was empty. There was a guy sitting in his boat with his hands over his face, when I reached down under the water and pulled my boat off the floor of the lake, he just lost it, dying laughing.

[@tylerlocke3776]

I enjoyed seeing that stripe. If I can't catch em I'll at least get my kicks watching you do it.

[@jeremyt4796]

This (USMC) Vet has to say when it comes to catfish you truly are the king!!!! And Thankyou I’ve learned so much from you, from tackle, fishing poles and baits. I went from catching 20 cats a year now I catch that many in one fishing trip (from the bank) and your videos have helped so much through this covid Thankyou brother

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you! Glad you are having so much success!

[@neillsayers1489]

As my granny would say, "Bless your heart!", for getting out in the cold and overcoming all the obstacles. Thanks, man!

[@blackwarrior2443]

Glad you showed your kayak floating away lol. Everyone has one of those days an at least you didn't have to swim 4 it. Great vid as usual👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

You're a man of good self esteem, integrity, and character. Keep angling.

[@oneshoeless]

Love that grin when you get a big one on board. LOL.

[@notbadforaraglesvilleboysm7634]

Well it took big ones to admit launching without a rope.

[@Jack-nh6yl]

Wow beautiful striper specimen too, nice colors.

[@WCTarheel]

That takes true character to admit when you've screwed up. I have had the pleasure of launching my boat without the drain plug installed. It didn't take long to figure that one out, but by then the boat was too heavy to put back on the trailer. To make a long story short, I ran the boat down the lake while the water drained out then put the plug in. That's my bone-head story.

[@jarodmorris611]

I remember my dad doing that once when we were at the lake to water ski.

[@terrysadventures7683]

Hahahaha I did that about a week ago, me and my buddy was gonna do some fishing he got in the boat and I backed it into the water then he headed to the dock while I parked the trailer when I got out of my truck I heard him yelling “ heeeellllllppppp!!!!!” Long story short it’s a good thing it was a little Jon boat we ended up having to bank it and let some of the water drain and get our drain plug in and then back on the trailer to drain it all the way needless to say we decided to not tell our wives about this one 😂

[@davehendricks4824]

You too?

[@gradybrowning3976]

Been there done that! Lol

[@nhemekeovorabouth3420]

It’s the only fish I love catching love the feeling of the fight they gave . Nice catch!!!!

[@SteveDouglastheCatfishDude]

surprise catches are always fun but if your gonna catch one its always a treat to nail a big one like you did. Nicely done sir.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Steve

[@LiSa.N.J]

Fish the Delaware Bay for stripers. Biggest one I have gotten was a 48 incher. My brother goes up the DE river for spring and fall striper runs and catches even bigger cows. Great video. Love your channel and was surprised to see such a nice striper. They make some darn good eating where I am from..

[@joeledwards9559]

WOW.WHAT A STRIPPER. CONGRAT,S I HAVE,NT CAUGHT ONE LIKE THAT IN YEARS.KEEP UP GREAT VIDEO,S AND I WILL KEEP ON WATCHING.HAVE A GREAT DAY AND BETTER THAN OTHER DAY.

[@SamCambodianmusicchannel1]

Those fishes are lucky to have you caught them. If they would have been on my pole, I will never let them go! They will go straight to my frying pan, catch fish nuggets! Yum, yum.

[@antwanjones679]

Don't say this to many ppl but when it come to fishing I put you in a class wit the great mr. Wade you are the truth man may God bless you my brother 🙏

[@paulnewhouse8714]

Those were some nice fish. Big'o striper and some fine-looking catfish. Thank you Justin for another video really appreciate them.

[@coinkeepermetaldetectingmo4]

Gee Justin. even the KING of Catfishing has an off day Sir. At least you didn't have to swimming. Loving your videos. Keep them coming. God Bless.

[@mattlyles8695]

I had to watch the first part again! Lol, can’t get enough!

[@pastordavidsmall9457]

Nice day of redemption.....i enjoy your videos....They are full of honesty.....i had days where nothing went right...

[@jonnymoore3268]

That happened to me but the wind was blowing back at me. Lesson learned. Nice catch on the stripper.

[@elitegb7206]

Lol glad I'm not the only one who has them days ! Nice striper! Heck yea man 💪 got some bites

[@lescobrandon8522]

The "bait pole scenario" is facts!!! Just like deer hunting, see 100 squirrel and zero deer, go back with a squirrel gun and see 10 deer and zero squirrel...??? It's just life I guess LOL

[@walleyeremy2908]

That infamous chuckle every time you catch a big fish. Priceless 🤝

[@tnfishingaddiction3395]

Glad that wind was in your favor lol. Still a better than a day at working. He was fighting good I thought lol NiCe chunk!!

[@tedz.]

I admire the honesty about letting your kayak go for a solo swim. Not sure I'd share that one. Justin could feed a family of 5 for a week with the Gollywhoppers he brings to the boat!

[@svetsvetov6054]

Awesome Striper Justin...what a fish. You should do more striped bass fishing. That made my day

[@gradybrowning3976]

That was a beautiful fish , nicest stripper I seen caught in a while.

[@micahayahben-yahawadahben-8556]

I just happened upon your channel tonight, and I absolutely enjoyed your show. What a whopper, that striper. Shalom shalom.

[@virginian7317]

Reminds me the time a golf club went flying out of my hand..............I quickly told all my friends in case someone I knew saw it! LOL

[@beaudeclue4719]

Bad ass Striper bud.

[@tomw3380]

Almost missed this one. Must have drifted fro a nap into a hibernation. You found some good fish today and a beautiful striper. As always, enjoyed the trip.

[@djsthemetereman]

Man striper is my favorite fish, they taste so good, & stewed catfish is my 2nd favorite fish. There's nothing like a day on the lake.

[@davidtombrello3091]

Love seeing that big striper. Great video. Keep 'em coming.

[@aleanufopilotftlcertified5663]

Nice to see some measurements on the bigger fish. Allows us home bodies to fully appreciate the size and approximate weight of the fish. Nice catch after getting pretty much skunked the few previous trips, but the kayak launch sans rope made it memorable. Thanks for the adventures.

[@kollinsworth3166]

Learn a lot from your videos bro, I appreciate what you do. Respects and props from Pittsburgh PA

[@bruddachuck]

The ones you call dinks are usually my best lol. If I catch one, I think my whole day was worth it! Love watching you bring in those monsters bro!

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

Stripers are my favorite fish. Great video as usual. Glad you showed us your human side. LOL

[@brandonmunsey2376]

Omg that’s awesome. It just shows that even professionals make dumba** moves like us rookies. Glad to see you have a sense of humor with it. Thanks for showing the out takes. Love your videos

[@1glockfan]

Glad you show the bloopers. Makes me not feel so bad about my own goof ups 😂.

[@myronhigh3527]

Way to redeem yourself after a "Dumbass" day!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Congrats on a Great trip buddy, God Bless, and Good luck on the next one!!!👍🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@charleshamby575]

You are definitely one of the best on youtube thanks for your videos

[@terryspence9326]

Can’t laugh I had 2 kayaks slid right out the back in the water and we did have to Wade out and get them.... it happens! Lol Good blue and Striper! Thanks for bearing the cold weather for us! See ya next time!

[@MATTLEism]

STRIPAAAAHHH GUUYYY!!! That's what we fish all day everyday here in Maine. Yesssaaahhh!!!

[@nathanleitz5060]

Welcome back to planet earth lol 😆 buddy we all have those days it really does make us humble keep it up and stay safe

[@jnogle6]

I can only speak for myself, but I like when you drop them on the board solely because it is hard to judge how big any fish is with the type of filming you do. it puts it into a perspective that I can relate to fish I've caught myself (and fish of the larger size i wish to catch one day). although...... you could never measure another again and I would still watch you religiously.

[@eugeneroy3399]

I don't know how the others feel but I personally love the videos when you use your board. I am impressed at the size of the fish you catch. I think they are great

[@stripermanly]

Those Stripers are a favorite of mine. Lake Cherokee is a lake I wish I could retire on

[@302FISHING]

What an awesome striper!! Great video!!

[@jigheadgino47]

Always come in clutch posting right on my lunchtime

[@tseainc]

[@briansuttles6743]

super video, it good to see bad luck isn't just me lol. two whoppers and some little fish is a good day always. stay safe.

[@skinandscalesfishing]

If that's the only thing that ever happens that was the best thing to happen great video thanks

[@jonmiller19845]

Hes like the Bob Ross of fishing!!

[@buckdead]

I use a roller trailer so that safety chain and rope are my lifeline. Forgot rope infinity times.. Always keep a spare pole to cast and retrieve boat 😆 👍 fish on

[@giers88]

[@matthewcombs1956]

[@Rebel1280]

Went to Strom Thurman lake on a little 8' kayak for bass and croppy fishing....caught a massive striper, freaking took me all over the lake and back on 8lb line lol these things are always a surprise to me lol

[@carlosalmaraziii5766]

That is a nice striper would love to catch one someday. It must be nice and chilly your bundle up pretty good. BBRRRRRR

[@johnbroadwell2603]

Hey a bad day fishing is 10 times better than a good day at work.....

[@TheClearT.O-911]

never disapointed with your videos.

[@CarnaFishingFamily]

Big Fish 👍

[@bigfootoutdoors90]

Shoulda took one of them academy rods and gave that #8 sinker a lob out over it and reeled it in! Tried and true method of retrieval when I was a young goose hunter with no boat! 😂😂

[@vincebridges7919]

After seeing you catch that stripe makes me wonder if you could do a video on targeting striped bass? That was awesome and seeing multiple being catch would be cool and good content for you.

[@koryburch5547]

Always enjoy your videos

[@MrNegativetaker]

Some nice catches there bub.

[@thegravescave4752]

Awesome striper. Gets me pumped up. Ill be back down in March to try and get me some more big stripers.

[@shawnt9256]

Ditto to the comments posted,you're awesome man.

[@mariaakers8961]

Love when you measure them! Awesome fish!

[@kevingrunert5665]

I love those rods. I use them too.

[@SalineScott]

Oh my goodness. You ran into my fear. My kayak out on the lake or the river without me. Wow... did you get lucky or what. Good thing you don’t get out on the River. Lol. Okay. I’m going to keep watching for you to catch that big bass. I bet those bass fisherman would’ve wished I hadn’t been out in the cold weather to catch that one

[@matthewplute3002]

I love them stripped bass!

[@FISHBOY1210]

Awesome fish man!!! Finally caught a video just after it dropped

[@michaelortman5678]

The kayak incident reminds me of when o forgot the plug in my boat one day. Lol

[@sunfishassassin5963]

Awesome..trip...good striper..those guys who fish for them all the time would be jealous..lol

[@williammatthews2948]

Sometimes we have days where we should've stayed in bed.

[@millieatr]

12:20 Were going to need a bigger boat

[@nujteelee7446]

got the hot spot. awesome catches :)

[@ronaldfulton653]

Big hen, nice fish!

[@midget12brw]

Beautiful rockfish love it. Got my sub right there

[@bluetruckhos9926]

I would think that everybody that has been fishing for a while can agree we all have had days where nothing will go right I mean absolutely nothing and sometime we just have to tap out and regroup...... but we always make a come back 👍👍👍

[@barryherndon9008]

Good job brother.

[@paulpetersen9755]

Ha lol, I have done the same sort of thing but my boo boo involved a drain plug, nice blues and that striper wow ps I like it when you measure the fish.

[@keithcarter4086]

Enjoyed this much. Sure do appreciate when you use the board, thanks!
