Fact

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Had to say this up front. Justin you have done more to relight my fire to fish more than anything else. I had a major stroke and have done nothing and you have lit the fire back on my fishing trips. Thank you very much! I know you are for real when you share your excitement on the river and catching consistent fish of any size. All about the challenge and fun!! Thank you Brother for helping me through this stroke!!!! God Bless you!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Wilson

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Thanks buddy. I couldn’t have done it without that special JJ piss bait 😂 you gave me a hell of a run

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

the number one must have is cold fried chicken. Fried chicken gizzards are a bonus, Dang Justin. I have know doubt you did as good as possible with a heavily fished area. Those locals have a lot of tricks up their sleeves and you know what I mean. keep showing us amazing fishing trips and your awesome fishing advice. You have made a night and day impact on catching Cats;

[@paylakehater4414]

Congrats on the tournament and the 2nd place on the aoy!!!!! Thanks for taking us along!!!! On a 2nd NOTE come on people 166k subs and only 85 THUMBS UP ???????????

Aw always a good day when kayak catfish posts 😊

[@jamescardwell3254]

Your right about the boaters very few will slow down for a kayaker or a bank fisher seen it alot from both being out in a boat and from the bank I do slow down for everyone I cross I hate to be boat fishing and get people that do that it's very disrespectful thanks for another great video and taking along on the trip with you

[@robertfandel9442]

Everyone complains about boats slowing down but it's a lot bigger and longer wake when they do. No I No longer have a boat but I remember how they worked.

[@rvnerd7671]

Congratulations on AOY #2 in a good race! Well done.

[@davidparker4943]

I like it when you fish tournaments. Keep up the great content brotha

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

congrats on the 2nd place angler of the year award!! honestly the 1st place could have not went to a better angler i know Ryan is proud of that 1st place win. man who knows what that head bait fish would have done with such a tight race too but thats fishing i recon. hopefully we can get a few videos of what you are gonna do to prepare for the next season. dang nice job again J win or loose you are always one heck of a fisherman and good spirited.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James

[@artnicol2792]

[@fletcherreed3259]

Welcome brother. Hope you enjoyed yourself. Good to see you in my neck of the woods. Large gizzards. Skips aren’t as prevalent up here. They’re at most boat ramps round here but must’ve been a big die off this year cause big ones are tough to catch for me this year

I know exactly where you are at. Btw you are welcome that was me that slowed down for you I am pretty sure of it.

Hey Justin, Is it possible to suspend all 4 rods when thats the hot bite? Always great videos, Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

I usually prefer to suspend four rods

[@Dirty_Farmer_1977]

Nice try..thanks for sharing

[@ryanswink1431]

Do you ever use a physical anchor or just your trolling motor?

[@KayakCatfish]

I mostly use the trolling motor. I only use a physical anchor when I’m in my pedal kayak.

[@ryanswink1431]

@@KayakCatfish ok. I make anchors and was going to see if you were interested in trying one out.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Well I caught a 52 lb blue cat I wish you could of had him he would have won it for you!

[@billhodgson4105]

I sure like the way your tournaments go by length and not weight,the fish are recorded and released where they are caught,here in Michigan on the river I fish there was like 7 tournaments-fish are brought the the weigh in then released there(who knows how many survive ? ) it’s hurt the fishery in a 15 mile stretch sad to say but true

[@eddiefralix3502]

Hate it when that one turned it loose!

[@chriswellington8021]

Commercial fishing is killing ky waters. Congratulations on your finish.

[@thejayjoint5713]

I think some jumped your spot from your scouting videos.

[@KayakCatfish]

I waited to post my scouting videos until after the tournament was over

“The Battle of the dinks”😎

[@Lanny-io9bi]

Seems these days with the tourney's catfish get beat on just as much or more than bass fishing, crazy how much catfishing traffic you went through.. tourneys are getting huge these days and overdone on alot of bodies of water.... the other day I seen like 40 boats catfishing on a 1000acre resivoir

[@fredziffel3443]

So glad to see ya had that zip lock bag ! There's nothing worse than gettin your nuts wet in the middle of a tournament ! (snacks are important)😎

[@user-wk7cm5gw4m]

Whats the name of these tournaments and how do I enter

[@KayakCatfish]

Online catfishing tournaments on the fishing chaos app.

[@leerose9933]

Just win Justin!!!

[@shaddaddy6833]

Hi

[@gregoryfairchild2460]

The fished water might chum up some bites.

[@stangreene9151]

No thumbs up because... where's Daphne???😂😂😂

[@jimkindle3563]

Mouth full of nuts. Lol

[@jimkindle3563]

👊💪👍

[@peterderidder9922]

This is just my opinion and how I think about it ; Practising with bait is useless , because today catfish like to eat this and tomorrow they like sommething else . Same with scouting the places , its also useless ... Best places to catch catfish is where a lot of white fish is swimming arround. You just have to find ASAP wich bait is top that day .... The factor luck is also always importand. I like seeing those tournaments , have seen a lot and wanna see them ALL ...😉

[@keithdocreed]

Heck yeah, let's catch some catfish.

[@hikenmikes8262]

Folks pulling boards🙄🙄…can’t stand watching catfish reeled in with a planer board. Oh well, I guess they work🤓
