You are spot on when describing missed bites. I believe that is true of most fish that engulf their prey by sucking in a large volume of water quickly. Flatheads, LMB, even crappie comes to mind. They can inhale and exhale a bait with the slightest line twitch. Factor in wind and current, and you can bet MANY bites are not detected by the fisherman.

Thanks Cody!

"I'm indecisive....well, no I'm not....okay, yeah I am indecisive." LOL I might have taken a little bit of liberty with what you really said but it cracked me up.

[@turboyodawrx9159]

I’m trying to figure out how to get the link to that first catch’s Instagram 😂😂

[@turboyodawrx9159]

Bruh 😎 🤣

[@Messerwon]

Another thing a lot of people don’t consider is how many times fish will come up just to bump a bait and not actually bite it yet. I think those are the fish you’re getting most of the time on the stinger fly foul hooks. When the stinger is in their mouth, they most likely thought it was a smaller fish chasing the bait, like you’ve suggested before. Always good to see your videos man!

[@calebpartenheimer7636]

Justin, speaking of snags. I went out yesterday and recently starter rigging some hooks on an underwater camera I just throw in the water as a "second pole". Well I was just pulling in back in, felt heaviness, thought I caught a branch, and turns out I caught someone's fishing rod and reel on the bottom!!! Nice pole, more flexibilty than my main one, so I am going to actually use it as it's better than the second pole I was using. I had a good laugh!!!! Free pole!!!

[@TB-zw7dt]

That has happened to me 3 times over the last 40+ years fishing. Two of those were top shelf gear, with one having a high dollar crankbait still tied on. I still use the worm rod and the trolling rod I pulled up. The zebcos (caught 2 at once, NO JOKE) still need cleaning up. The old ZEBCO 202 and 303 would function just fine with a bit of cleaning and oil even after being submerged for a couple of years.

[@calebpartenheimer7636]

@@TB-zw7dtBoth the rod and reel are Zebcos. The rod looks to have been made in 2010 from research, it's a light tackle reel. The rod must have been put on separate because it's a very old Zebco 33. I thought to myself it looks old enough to be from somewhere in the 80's but it looks like it may be from 1954. Either way, it's an old reel.

[@andybass2045]

Hello buddy good to see you. That was a gollywopper you showed yesterday bank fishing

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Andy!

[@duanemitchell4598]

I take it that you are back home in Tennessee, as none of the fish caught don't have that Alabama short tail. Love how you finally put a Sumo fly on your dragging rig. Great video. Keep them rods bent and best of luck for your upcoming tournament. Show them Bama fishers how it's done.

[@KayakCatfish]

I’m back home for now. Heading back to Alabama to fish on Monday and Tuesday

Hey Justin I caught a 40 in Flathead on those flies on my suspended rig. Those flies are one of my greatest addition to my rig. Thank you for convincing me to put them on!

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Congrats on that huge flathead!

[@jonlutke9083]

It's called "secret Santa". Awesome video, loving your content! Well done sir.

[@d-squaredoutdoors5670]

Another great video. The stinger flies keep bringing extra fish that you may not have caught otherwise. I wonder if you ran something like a Zara Spook as your float if you would catch a few on it as well. I have had a few good takedowns that the fish let go. After I reeled it in, I noticed the float was all mangled.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy!

[@user-jo9lj1dq3l]

Hello Justin, being who I am and you posing the question, I looked it up and found that social gatherings for fish is called shoaling and swimming in the same direction as in feeding is schooling. Thanks for teaching me something about fish I didn’t know 🙌👍💪👊

[@AlleyCatPro2023]

Justin, the two times i fished with you were good. The reason I wanted to contact you was that i had an awesome trip planned. However, i figured i should get some expert catfish/kayak advice. Since you get out there every day, you are the person i think i should get advice from before taking on a dangerous trip. You have definitely inspired me. Thanks for everything.

Awesome video brother Justin I’m so looking forward to you and Daniel taking this new rig on Nickojack, and running this rig through some of those deep hundred foot spots would you guys please do a video at Nickojack soon? And I hope I’m spelling that correctly God bless you brother continue success to you I’m looking forward to that hundred pounder this year speaking of which Justin do you have someone from the Tennessee Department of fish and wildlife on speed dial just in case you hook into that record?

[@stanleykiepura1512]

Well I still like when fishing on the btm I put my weight on a short line and mt bait on a longer line . Been working for me

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

Awesome vid brother hope u have a blessed weekend

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you

[@bluesdad54]

Looks to me like you have been working the bugs out of that basic rig design for a while now. Persistence is paying off. I think you now have the best all-'round rig out there. And the change-up is simple, swap weights! At least thats how I see it. I have all the parts, im going to tie a few and try it on a smaller size fish population. Ill let you know how it does. Thanks for teaching me something new.😊😊

[@jeremybinz9888]

Go to Claires, get the clear rubber bands. Loop through the eye and then place across to the barb to make it snagless

[@whytetalesoutdoors]

I used to do some double hooks when dragging but I was putting different cut baits on both hooks. I would put the float between the 2 hooks because I was worried about the snags as well. It worked but often the fish would throw off both baits during the fight and I was going thru more bait. Also it seemed that often they would usually hit the back bait. I am sure it is because that was the first bait it found. May have to retry it with the artificial as it wouldn’t cause me to use more bait.

[@ljmck7739]

Miss your bank fishing videos

[@creamcheesewonton274]

"I don't know if this fish is big enough to justify camera time" as you hold a fish 3x bigger than any fish I've ever caught, lol.

[@petersang6751]

Love your videos!!!!!!!❤❤❤ what’s the weight you used as I saw earlier the round eight

[@KayakCatfish]

The round weights I think you are referring to are 8 ounce egg sinkers. I was using my diy dragging weights in this video though

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

Awesome day on the water

[@pigsandapples]

Great work Justin. Maybe the flies are helping attract the fish to the baits as well? I'd love to see an experiment where you had one rod dragging with, and one without a fly, and both using the same cut of bait. (Leaf-Blower-Man is the devil's spawn as far as I'm concerned. Him and his cousins all over the world. What's wrong with a rake and a broom?

[@amigosdepescaria7068]

Pescaria muito boa amigo

[@johnnybuck3363]

So, as I watch your catfish channel, Justin, what if flatheads are striking from deeper water than the blue catfish. I am speaking from a dragging, the rig set up because they just might be sitting on the bottom 🤷🏾

[@justintaylor883]

What brand scissors were those you were trimming the bait with? I like those

[@KayakCatfish]

Mustad

[@hjdaboss786]

Justin I just got my stinger flies, Tasty Carp Bluegill and flashy shad is what I ordered

[@Justin_Mooney11]

😅😂🤣….. I swear I was gonna stay it before you started talkin about it , you could be in the middle of no where an noise will find a way to find you ! That’s pretty awsome you thought out a new technique an made it work out there bud

[@jimw241]

Great morning on the water.

[@ffelde3107]

2 question if I may: 1. Did you reposition the float? 2. The float buoyant enough to lift the bait completely, partially or . . . .

[@ffelde3107]

Never mind, you answered me later in the video 😂

[@EWCretired]

Yep, one of the three left, and i thought you were doubled up!

[@joehunt4506]

How are you tying up the rigs? I get 80% of my stuff from Catfish Sumo, but don’t see any pre-tied rigs with the stinger

[@KayakCatfish]

I use a no knot snell for my circle hook and tie the fly on the tag end of the line.

[@troybucher6383]

I've caught many flatheads on crankbaits. A lot on rip rap.

[@GeraldBertramPhotography]

Question for Justin or anyone else that might know, what model Shimano reel are you using here? Looks like one of the Tekota 500 reels. Thanks for another great catfishing video!

[@KayakCatfish]

Tekota 600

[@peterderidder9922]

From now on we must call this type of rig the: Justinrig !!!!!!

[@melissamontgomery6199]

Flip them bails over 😂😂😂

[@NATEfrompondstars]

Do you ever drag live bait? Just curious..

[@KayakCatfish]

No, I imagine it would get tangled up with the sinker as it swims

[@williamwhipple7129]

Hey Justin I never heard before you running Cajun red fishing line

Hey Justin, Flip them bales

[@amosbarnes307]

We would troll for flat heads at night along rocky places in the lakes with rattle traps lures not far from the banks

[@tadpole612001]

Possibly a dumb idea but what about a little longer lead to the stinger fly with another peg float?

[@KayakCatfish]

Stay tuned. I just filmed a video this morning using a longer leader to the fly

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Catfish. Mostly blue catfish. 😂

[@andybass2045]

I wonder if the bait is moving to fast for the flathead I doughty it just a thought

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Too cold still for to many flattys. And dragging don't catch alot of flatheads for some reason. Maybe the speed?

[@TB-zw7dt]

Like your vids so much I will add another comment. While not thrilling, how to deal with a snagged bait while dragging or drifting with multiple lines would be great info. Unpleasant topic, perhaps, but a reality that must be addressed by any avid fisherman.

[@TB-zw7dt]

P.S. Limbs and logs are common snags where I fish, but my number one line busting and abundant snag is other fisherman's refuse.

[@KayakCatfish]

I covered that when I got snagged later on in this video
