Kayak Catfish has crushed it again. Many thanks to you Justin. By far my favorite subscription.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you so much Joey! It is much appreciated.

[@joeyskaggs2519]

Justin, You are most graciously welcome. Your videos inspire a whole new generation of conservationists. Water quality will begin to improve as you and others bring awareness to a greater problem in our country. I always enjoyed having a good fish fry growing up on the Ohio river in Kentucky. I currently live on the Susquehanna River in New York and you can’t eat the fish due to contamination. You Sir are a champion for clean water, healthy fish, and a sustainable environment by promoting awareness. Go Team Kayak Catfish!!!!

[@johnavonyates4105]

Let's all take a minute to appreciate this thumbnail. 💪💪💪 That fish is fist pump worthy buddy. I was hollering you getting a bite😂

[@bruceadams9542]

Great fishing video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 , Now after that demo with the ENGWE-Bike racing the dog 🤣 . I want one. Thank you that was outstanding.👍👍👍👍👍

[@nikkihayes9236]

Great Day In The Dang Mornin' Justin, You Caught A Bull In A China Shop, The Way He Came On In And Wrecked Your Lines!😱🎣😂 CONGRATULATIONS!!🎉🎈🎊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nikkihayes9236]

Love seeing Miss Daphne!❤ Us Ladies can appreciate GOOD shocks on a bike.😁

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

That big cat said it answers fist pumps with sumo slap 😊 glad no gear was lost Nice going JJ putting in that work per usual 🎣

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@michaelanderson5249]

You hit the right spot today brother

[@johnavonyates4105]

I learned how to read a topographical map in the army I never knew I could apply that to fishing before this channel.

[@michaelanderson5249]

I been looking at your channel for years now and never commented but always gave a thumbs up but always loved looking at you fish and it actually got me into cat fishing,, except I use a bass rader 10 e to fish out of and just now getting into trying to read lakes maps because of watching you so thanks for your channel and teaching me how to fish like this

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Justin I feel you with Daphne. I have two dogs Gemma and Capt.. and two cats/kitten. It is like taking care of 2yr old's before you can leave the house. Especially if they make a mess! Appreciate your killer videos and great fishing advice and tips! WNAT A MONSTER!!

[@billcoulter1984]

Love Daphne. Monster fish was nice too!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Bill

[@jamescardwell3254]

Great trip. Thanks for taking us along. Some nice blues a sumo blue and a winter time flatty pluss a Daphne race it doesn't get any better then this. Great video thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos

[@susanbryner656]

We love seeing those big fish. We grew up fishing the high Rocky Mountains clear up at timber line. We were lucky to get beautiful rainbow or spotted trout amidst the ice. Those fusg were fun, but much smaller. Either way, fishing is always fun.

[@jordantuttle3640]

Another great video as always man you are always on time with these!! Whenever I can't go or don't you always have a new video to enjoy as if I or we were there! Daphne the doc reminds me of my old late dog Lilly. She seems like a great dog I enjoyed watching her in the video as well thanks an good job again! 👍

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jordan!

[@jordantuttle3640]

Absolutely!

[@beauleach6837]

Heck ya. Congratulations Justin 💪🏼

[@user-md2wo4sq8n]

Hech yeah. I'll be here till the end as always 😂😂❤

[@quentinsalters9132]

Sheesh one heck of an outing. Weather is too nice today, I can’t wait to get some bait in the water!

[@KayakCatfish]

Good luck! Hope you catch some monsters.

[@jackstarry346]

this guy always make my day better

[@duanemitchell4598]

I got $20 on Daffney. She just dang to fast. On the good note, Justin got himself a February Flatty. Keep them rods bent sir. Can't wait for he next video.

[@Retiredcop052]

Thanks! Hey Justin … awesome catch … you deserve a nice meal on me especially in that cold weather! Ty.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Daniel! I really appreciate it.

[@Retiredcop052]

No problem Justin …. Your videos keep me fighting my PTSD and motivates me to get out of bed and get fishing. I appreciate all you do. Ty again!

[@douglasmedlin7159]

You definitely had both ends of the spectrum today. Looked like the skippies head was bigger than the little blues head. He was really lucky that big blue wasn't around or he would never got to eat that fly. Glad to see it has warmed up and you had a good day. Now got to finish watching the video and see the baby cheetah spank that butt 😂😂😂😂🚲🚲🚲🏁🏁🏁🏁

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Doug!

[@fletcherreed3259]

Blues and flatheads looks so clean and healthy in late winter. Congrats on a good day

[@jeremydehart7466]

Man, what a cat! Great video brother, and God bless from NC!!✝️👈🏼

[@robertwilliamson6958]

The bass pro fisherman, say the same thing about the fish feeling the FFS sonar ping on them. They say some bass seem to hit most don’t, and say that carp absolutely feel it and even run from it.

[@fredziffel3443]

Daphne doesn't need forgiveness, she needs a reward! She made certain you were in the RIGHT place at exactly THE RIGHT TIME. ATTAGIRL DAPHNE !!!

[@jeffhudson4817]

That was a hell of a Blue Cat Justin. Great day of fishing. My old man use to tell me when I was a kid, if u ain’t fixing something every day, u ain’t living life right. Looks like u r my friend. Stay safe out there Money….

[@terrencebuller7676]

Nice blue Justin, awesome fish, fist bump 🤜🤛 brother .

[@charleyvilla266]

You have a pitty!!!!!! I LOVE pitties! She is adorable too!! Awesome fishing also

[@dashcamarchive5827]

Get on em’ my boy!

[@JerryTolley420]

Nice fish Justin! And I beleive that Daphne the dog is always gonna be undefeated against those bikes, maybe you could beat her on a dirt bike.

[@showmaster0377]

This was the kinda day you needed when you was doing those tournaments.

[@user-md2wo4sq8n]

That a really nice bike. I want one

[@paylakehater4414]

Another Great video!! What a TANK!! He came close to wrecking that rod in the holder and NICE Flathead, Still lost to Daphne, She just played with you.

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Let’s go baby cheetah !!!! Love seein her sun man I jus do awsome blue …. Warmer days are comin

[@user-sy2fr4nz8v]

Beautiful day sir!

[@travisgentry5494]

Round the world, twirl, tangle all lines, 👊🏾 pump action!!! Keep dropping lines bud!!!

[@skyxagonyxd6985]

Another great video Justin! Keep up the good work. I really enjoy your videos.

[@buddydeal7695]

Nice! I told my wife that I’m always worried that someone will come up behind me when I’m talking to a fish. 😄

[@DirtHouseBoi]

Come down to the potomac in the spring! The shad and catfish bite is like no other!

[@edwardrickman5728]

Great video Justin ! Keep up the awesome work..

[@maxxumyoung7624]

Hey Justin, i have not been fishing lately because it has been so dang cold. But seeing this video makes me want to get fishing again.

[@peterderidder9922]

you have good technique and good fishingskills but i wouldend be feeling safe in a kayak ! ! nice catch bud

[@peterderidder9922]

Good advice from a european carp fisher ! If you want the fish to comme up you must pull him down ! the fish will react by swimming up because he is pulled down 😉. This trick works 90% of the times ... now I hope you will read this tip

[@jamesdurham5387]

Awesome catch Justin

[@johnhoffman8545]

Ice in Illinois is finally melted off and will be going fishing soon.

[@roberthowe5315]

The baby cheetah tried to take you out on that run justin great video that one blue was a hog stay safe buddy

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. lots of fish and a big one. neat looking bike. fast too. stay safe.

[@hjdaboss786]

Nothing beats a surprise wintertime flatty.

[@roynorman5179]

Good way to start the year

[@danielviens1687]

Holy crap what a beast that was. A true Golly Whopper for sure congrats Justin! Yup it happened again baby cheetah 200 kayak catfish 0 zip nada nothing!

[@francoisjohannes3648]

nice catch man

[@jeramylawrence8702]

Its your setup that causes issue we use a 3 way swivel and weight on bottom and bait to side like a flag so u will be setup off the bottom naturally and reduce line twist as well.

[@tattoo291981]

Great video and even better fish. The only thing Justin can we get a speed test also on the bike lol

[@rogerwilliams3097]

Nice catfish Justin way to go 😊😊😮

[@jerrylittle8922]

Nice fish Justin!

[@mylyloy]

That was a GollyFLOPPER!!! Huge!! A big flop in the water when it fell in. 👊 !! Baby Cheetah is so precious. I think she may be limping in the hind legs a tiny bit. Hips? It’s just something Will and I both kinda hone in on because we’ve had a few dogs with hip dysplasia. She is sure fast! Great video!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn! I haven’t noticed her limping but I’ll keep an eye on it.

[@justinhromek73]

Holy shit! That was a beast! Congrats

[@troutmagnetman]

Dang....great catch!

[@Meet_Me_In_The_Pit]

U definitely hit the right spot.a straight stud and numbers with a peekaboo flathead...that woulda been a good day no matter what time of yr

[@pigsandapples]

It's a valid question - do fish feel it and are they bothered by sonar? If you ask divers that have been pinged by sonar from boats above, they'll tell you it's noticeable. We know that many fish use sound to communicate and hunt so I'm confident they would aware of unnatural sounds in their territory. Whether it bothers them - would love to know.

[@ericallison4494]

Thats an interesting thought. You should start keeping numbers of fish caught on as apposed to off sonar. My brother was a submariner in the Navy. He said that whales would answer the sonar pings from the sub.

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s very interesting about the whales.

[@donaldthomas6520]

Cool dog brother and a aswsom video peace out from Ohio Don T

[@turkN9NE]

I wanna see you catch em on a fly. I've done it. it's an insane fight. never caught one that big though 😄

[@Bigmouth_bass]

I bet that fish was proud of himself for wrecking your lines and almost tipping your kayak... them things are onry😂

[@castandtrail]

Was for sure you were about to go in the water 😂

[@user-md2wo4sq8n]

I believe the fish can feel the vibration yes sir

[@johndoed420]

Nice Blue

[@keithdocreed]

Nice of that flathead to get caught, but Holy moly what a blue 🎉🎉🎉

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Keith!

[@user-md2wo4sq8n]

It's golly woper time!!!

I just can't believe that you can catch giants out of a kyack 😂

[@DirtMacGurk1]

Ummmm you must be new and that’s totally fine. Go check out his Florida keys shark vids 😂

[@andybass2045]

Now that's a hos 😂 he was ready to go

[@user-fo6xt9ij8p]

All the beast from the east heard was “right now” and he flopped haha 😂

[@justinbarnes2606]

Dude if you can cast a bait 50 to 100 yards your a legend 😂

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Baby cheetah at this point has qualified for the Kentucky Derby at minimum 🐆 😊🐆🐕

Dogs do make life better

That’s a damn big one

Hahaha dog wins again 😂❤

[@user-cv6wo8lj2w]

Damn fine fisherman

[@jamesfarmer2544]

All was something 😢 you be ok.

[@peterderidder9922]

Why do you never try half backed skip jack ? baking with somme spices only the outside of the skip jack ?? So you can still hook it verry well ;-) it it is worth a try ! somme days if you catch nothing you could try to turn the tide with this . Lots of days if the fish dont take the traditional baits they will take sommething they dont know, just to taste it ;-)

[@jackstarry346]

that fish that fell off at the last minute

[@andybass2045]

Go vavy Chita❤❤❤❤

[@Arciw]

Do you have a skip Jack shirt?

[@WilliamBeamon-dm2tv]

I always wonder if you’ve ever flipped your kayak? I know I took a good spill last summer on elk creek smallmouth fishing and it was quite the experience. Thankfully tho I wasn’t in 50 feet of water that you fish…

[@KayakCatfish]

I flipped once but it was in shallow water thankfully.

[@wadedouglas8616]

Do you use the solar lunar calendar?

[@KayakCatfish]

No

[@fredziffel3443]

That would eliminate a lot of fishing days!

[@chrislowrance7277]

Would that blue make it in your top 10?

[@KayakCatfish]

Definitely not

[@tommymack6286]

Do they sell American eels in Tennessee? If so I will donate to see how the fish react to them

[@KayakCatfish]

I have never seen them for sale here.

[@dwaincarter2624]

I hollered at ya but you didn't hear me i guess lol.

[@frankribble4367]

If you want a Flathead Catfish Challenge, come up to Michigan & I'll get someone to catch you bait. That live scope would be cool fishing in the Saginaw River. You might find cars or who knows what?

[@billhodgson4105]

I too am from Michigan (mid west) my son and I have a passion for flat heads we do fairly well-I would love to see Justin come fish here-he might even gain a little respect for the Chanel cats we catch them from 10-20 lbs often they give a dang fun pull too ha ha good luck to all and tight lines !!!

[@frankribble4367]

@@billhodgson4105 I want to catch a Master Angler Channel Catfish. I was 1/2 inch short last year. My PB Flathead from last year was 33 LBs. I need to beat that this year. I just fish from shore.

[@billhodgson4105]

@@frankribble4367 you will get him this year 👍-my PB for flatheads is 34 lbs. want that 40 ha ha but any fish of any species that is 10 LB+ is a fun time, I fish from a boat around here it’s hard to find fish able shoreline

[@frankribble4367]

@@billhodgson4105 You wouldn't want to net fish in most of the spots I fish. It's the thing I like the least about Flathead fishing. It can be an adventure with me netting a fish especially after dark. We barely fish before dark. I never caught a Flathead during the day. Live bluegill mostly. I got a nice 28 LBer on cut bluegill. My buddies PB is 46. I know a guy that caught 130+ Flatheads last year.

[@billhodgson4105]

We don’t use a net we grab them by the jaw-except those damn channels them we grab with grippers they like to clamp down on you and then thrash around,we use blue gill mostly also but rock bass work well too and we fish the brush piles and log jams get a lot of snags which sucks but that’s where the fish are

Boat stands for break out another thousand!

[@jrmrencso8716]

The Baby Cheetah brought you good luck, does she eat bananas?

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! She actually does like bananas. I have caught her eating the banana peels that I throw out in the yard too

You sure got in the bite while it lasted

[@Fisherofmen1988]

Hey brother what is the name of the lake you fish at for the big cats
