Best way to start an evening! Just sat down with food to a new vid from Justin!

[@e.t.preppin7084]

Me too. Love it

[@outdoorsforachange]

Me three.

[@steelhead6368]

You got that original Texas laugh! Love it!🤣🤣🤣

[@krazyhorse5247]

My whole family watches your content. Hope you catch a big one.

[@outdoorsforachange]

Good PG entertainment for sure.

[@FishingwithJordan20]

Flathead's are where it's at but you gotta love them bama blue's

[@FishingWithChris_Tv]

I love coves like that this time of year. I have one that I’ve consistently caught 20-40s every year in. It may be just one fish or several but it always produces.

[@a1duzit]

Longtime fan but it's been a minute since I've watched. What a good way to start back with a flathead video

[@nathanleitz5060]

Great video as always Justin stay safe and keep lines tight bank fishing is all I'm used to until I get me my kayak

[@tykit9230]

Impressive as usual friend 🎣

[@DUALOAK]

Very cool release footage

[@johnhammons856]

Wish I could be there to catch them with ya

[@3_libras]

Justin. That channel cat just wanted to be your friend. 😂 He looped back to try one more time hahahaha

[@Scot_WestTexas]

“Enough birds out here for a Alfred Hitchcock movie” 🤣🤣🤣 best one liner I’ve heard in awhile

[@glennkoerber1136]

Thanks for getting out and getting dirty to give us this great day of your fishing. It was a lot of fun to watch. I'm a bank/pier fisherman working the Hudson River in NY. We don't get the huge Flats and nice Blues like you do but it's still fun to watch rods going off often and having a good day with the Cats. Hope your rods keep bouncing. Take care and be well out there.

[@jamesm.gilbert3543]

IM SUBSCRIBED TO ABOUT 35 CAT FISHING CHANNELS. NOT KISSING YOUR BUTT, BUT YOUR CHANNEL IS MY FAVORITE. GOOD JOB AND VERY GOOD CONTENT CATFISHING IS SOME WORK BUT ALSO LOTS OF PLEASURE

[@bobbynewton9247]

Thanks Justin enjoyed the video take care be safe nice catches

[@outdoorsforachange]

I keep buying your hoodies, and my daughters keep claiming them. This one I'm keeping!

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Your daughters have good taste in hoodies

[@randyshaw8613]

As always what I've come to expect. Fantastic video!! Thank you Justin!!

the first one was crazy Lol nice vid

[@phillipholland2816]

I like where your at in this video. Gave some killer release shots!

Thanks Phillip!

Been with you for years Justin and your excitement for big flatties is still evident, how can you not be pumped! Love the channel (content) not the fish lol, thanks for changing my whole way of catfishing for the better! Btw I do enjoy catching channels too 😁

Still love your videos Justin

Great video, that flathead was beautiful as always thanks for taking us along

[@nikkihayes9236]

BEAUTIFUL 1st Flattie!!🎣😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@williammatson9238]

God made bass so everyone could catch fish. God made catfish to separate the boys from the men.😁👌🎣

[@outdoorsforachange]

Well said.

[@williammatson9238]

@@outdoorsforachange Well thank you my brother! Greetings from Minnesota Wish you a good year filled with fish and blessings❤🎣🙏

[@theycallmeshim6723]

Catfish is much easier to catch than bass though….

[@marijuonko7092]

Catfish aren't hard to catch tho. Not at all. I'd say walleye are one of the hardest freshwater fish to consistently catch. Now catching big flats heads consistently is tuff also.

[@braxtonmatheney2613]

Musky are the hardest

[@georgezink8256]

Should call you catfish magnet

[@russellsmith142]

Good day of fishing buddy...went ahead and watched all the ads too just incase your lawn chair broke...lol

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Thanks Russell! You are a good man

[@Za86m]

That first one is a hoss!

[@howardroy1097]

Another great video

[@johnnyjones-en6rc]

need to come over here to arkansas we have plenty of slab crappie

[@bentvalve]

Love it and I'm itching

[@keithdocreed]

Spring time flathead bite is coming

[@outdoorsforachange]

Got that right.

[@KayakCatfish]

Should be anytime now

[@jordonpratt2604]

It’s here where I live in East Tennessee, I have been catching by them every time I go bass fishing on spinnerbaits and swimbaits and jigs

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Great video Justin!😂

[@ddkelso9003]

Wish I knew 1/10th about catfishing as you! Been twice. 1 bite. Lol

[@kennycook359]

Having to take off but I'll finish watching the rest when I get home, but damn nice flathead brother. Ain't got to talk to you for a while but I always try to watch and like. Great job, I was sweating it with you when you was dragging whatever it was with that first flathead. Ok brother ttyl

[@joeladams7261]

❤ love your videos, nice fish too. I tell you something about catfish that you may not know !!!!

[@outdoorsforachange]

15:34 quality fun-sizer? That thing would be my PB by a mile. You're like a big leaguer, Justin. I catch a 4 pound channel cat and talk smack.

[@williambingham1196]

Hey Justin love the video's, have a question. Can you explain how you set your reels for casting when your bank fishing so you dont get a back lash . I don't think I've ever have heard you explain how to.

[@heavenbound358]

Best eatin' cat!!

[@michaelwhissen3567]

When you let the first fish go and was standing out there talking, I seen that rod moving. I was like dang it Justin turn around haha.

[@duzaofishing9209]

Nice!

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. you didn't measure any fish, the 2 big ones too big but some of the others might of been close. stay safe.

[@nikkihayes9236]

AWESOME Blue!🎣😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ❤️❤️❤️ the sound of that drag pull!🥰 Be nice to those Channel Kitties now Justin!😂 Wouldn't it be something if all you caught for your tourney was everything but the Channels you're targeting? I hope that ain't the case, and I hope you take us with you when you go.😁

[@williammatson9238]

Channel cat's are fun to catch real good fighters. The river I grew up next to in Minnesota produced many over 10lbser. Fun times with good olé Dad and the family🎣❤ Have a good night.

[@nikkihayes9236]

@William Matson Sounds AWESOME, and Thank You!😃 You have a very blessed night too.🙏😇

[@billyjward]

What’s up Justin. Always love your vids. I’d like to ask you a general KZbin question outside of the comments section but not sure if that’s an option. If so, let me know how. Thanks man.

[@KayakCatfish]

Comment box and livestreams are the best way to reach me. I have notifications turned off on all my other social media so that my phone doesn’t ding at all hours of the day and I rarely check those message boxes.

[@beaubaker4222]

Where you fishing next to the river channel or where you in a large cove?

[@Marioguajardo3167]

What size line are you using? You pulling that flathead and that limb takes a lot to pull through that.

[@KayakCatfish]

40lb

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Wow. Cajun line? I like big game 30 lb.myself

[@joshchilders-fy1pk]

Justin do you know what the water temperature was when you caught the flathead

[@KayakCatfish]

No, I don’t have a graph on that kayak

[@mjkirchen]

I know you normally prefer to suspend fish - why don't you add a float to your leader to lift your baits off the bottom when fishing from shore? Just curious on your thoughts. Obviously it's working for you, but it's different than your normal method. Keep up the great videos!

[@artnicol2792]

Was that channel cat swimming back around your boots the cat who chewed your new shoes? Sorry! Not meaning to wear out that line for you.

[@AJV4L2007]

What part of TN are you in brother.

[@johnholcomb8851]

Have u ever tried using channel cats for bait??

[@philipstephan5451]

Hey man what if you were busy down the beach with that first flathead. Then a monster cat hooked on your other rod or rods and pulls your kayak out in the river. I hope not . Staysafe cheers.

[@nickliska5452]

Just bought your same rod a reel combo 😎 been saving up for it for a while now and finally got to put my order in can't wait to get it an go hook up on some flats. What type and weight line do you think is the best set up for bank fishing with that set up?

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Hope you catch some monsters with it. I use zebco Cajun 40lb line

[@nickliska5452]

@Kayak Catfish I have been down here in east tn for about 5 years now and I caught my pb in Loudon. I haven't figured out how to catch fresh skipjack yet so I use alot of bluegill.

[@caniaccharlie]

A Jim Cornette reference? No outlaw mud show Channel Cats allowed at Flathead Island!!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m actually wearing a Stephen P. New shirt right now lol. If you need to sue and an outlaw mud show or two, call Steven P. New.

[@caniaccharlie]

@KayakCatfish That's so awesome, knowing this makes my day somehow! 🤣🤣🤣

Glutton for punishment, didn't you just learn not too long ago about not going too far from the Yak? Bill dance might give ya a hat.
