[@robertsyfritt9334]

Thanks for you keeping us your fans entertained also my wife just likes hearing you when iam watching she says its relaxing now she is watching too keep on keeping on fishing man God bless you Justin

[@KayakCatfish]

That’s a good wife right there. Keep her happy.

[@beezers2012]

Exactly why I keep a couple of cheap disposable ponchos in my tackle bag. lol. Good luck bro.

[@jamescardwell3254]

Great job, friend. It's going to be a tight race to the end between you and Ryan for the championship. Hate to be biased, but i hope you come out on top over-all. I cant help it you deserve it for all the quality videos you bring to us for viewing entertainment. Not to mention all the hard work you have put into having the knowledge to chase quality fish and sharing that knowledge with us so we can chase quality cats.

[@philipstephan5451]

Oooooh Yeess,, Im rooting for ya, I. Wanna see you win this this thing as usual. Keep those hooks baited up watch for the bent rods and that's about all you can do besides pray and I've got that covered. Stay safe, blessings to you,, cheers. 😊

[@leerose9933]

Thank goodness it's you!!!! Now my day is made. You better not be lower than second place! As far as the bass boats go , you got too roll with the punches. God bless you....😊

[@MrZap765]

I may be wrong but I never see any other fishing shows catch the amount of fish you constantly catch. I know it's not all back-to-back and time passes by in between but still the amount of fish you catch on your videos is amazing. I love watching your Tournament videos those are my favorite they keep me on the edge of my seat and I get an anxiety attack whenever you measure a fish thinking it's going to flop off that board go in the water before you can get a proper measurement and take a picture well keep up the good work I look forward to the next one.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks buddy!

[@y2jamest2099]

Nice job on the second place finish

[@SiriusBooMR]

Good job guys!

[@ianedwards7294]

Been waiting for this video.

[@Mojorizen1962]

congrats Justin !!!

[@peterderidder9922]

GOLDEN TIP ! Congrads Justin ! ! Seek for a verry small place in youre kayak to put in a rainjacket and rainpants ... So everywhere you go you have it always with you ;-) ! It dont need a lot of space if you rol it up. 😉

[@timmitchell1544]

Great job congrats!!

[@dbrbruce9950]

Brought home the silver. Not bad for an away game. Hold your head up, old boy. Go Vols!

[@johnknotts885]

Congratulations on 2nd place! When you gonna learn to never trust a weather man lol, always take the opposite gear for the weather they are calling for.. need to buy you a poncho in a little pouch to keep in your kayak for emergencies bud.

[@chrispemberton7000]

Good time. Thanks

[@joetobacco6515]

You’re the only fisherman I follow these days. Hope you continue to do well

[@OomyZoomy]

He’s him fr🔥🏅

[@Retiredcop052]

Hey Justin !!! Awesome video!!!! Especially after my unexpected fish I caught while catfishing tonight! Friday April 26 at 930pm was catfishing in the housatonic river in Connecticut. Average catfish is 5 pounds, channel cats get up to 20 pounds. I was using my catfish rig with 15 pound mono. I was using Fall Fish as cut bait. Rod bent over and drag took off. After about 10 minutes of fighting something that was jumping, I landed a 4 foot ( 51 inches exact ) Northern Pike. There is no logical reason on why I was able to catch this fish, especially in the dark. I didn’t have a leader, only 15 pound test, I shouldn’t have been able to land this fish. This was my first northern pike and I still can’t believe I caught it. Pike usually go after huge lures and live bait.

[@KayakCatfish]

Congrats on that big pike

[@duanemitchell4598]

Well I have to throw out the spoiler alert. Nice job Mr. Justin on where ya finished.

[@killswitch7775]

I like that bump board

[@davecampbell3455]

Dang, Justin! I watch your videos from beginning to end and cheer you on when you're in tournaments. Now you want me to help reel in fish and do other odd jobs for you. Please quit being so needy! 😂😂😂

[@lt.guppypatrollt.guppypatrol]

glad to see you have a chance to cash, goodday fishing....thanks

[@charlesseward5462]

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Charles! I appreciate you.

Its raining here too from Missouri

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks for becoming a channel member Daniel

[@codyreece7871]

Man Ryan seems to win a out every one. You had a really good day though.

[@andybaker5466]

How did the baby cheetah did with her fans? I wish we could have come up to see ya all but we are going to be at Nickajack! Thanks man keep on rolling!

[@KayakCatfish]

She did surprisingly well. I was very impressed with her.

[@2brosunlimited9855]

Just to let you know I'm one of those boats Bass fishing tournament and yes we did leave at safe light but guess what we have to deal with you kayaks in the way All the time to so deal with it and have fun fishing

[@KayakCatfish]

When bass fishermen write entire paragraphs without using any punctuation, it makes it hard for me to believe they are smart enough to drive a boat 70mph before sunrise.

[@darancalloway5586]

You and them gloves kill me

[@tomw3380]

I knew you should not have said “Mother Nature be damned”. I could almost hear he say “I’ll fix him”. 😂. Put two or three large plastic trash bags in the yak somewhere. Makes a rain coat, a sun shield or just a bag. Doesn’t take up any room. Good luck.

[@JacobThrockmorton-fi3bh]

Really hope the mystery fish size isn't a 32.5" lol. I watched you not get a picture of it and was hollering don't forget the mystery fish....

[@jasonrosario2566]

Good luck justin

[@davidnewton3064]

Congrats on cashing in. I noticed you changed out your rod holders at some point. What's the strategy there?

[@KayakCatfish]

I like the tube style rod holders when anchoring and casting my baits out on bottom.

[@brandonh3888]

gotta be pretty difficult dealing with the waves in a kayak, I hope everyone can understand that everyone is entitled to fish in whatever vessel is legal it would be nice for them to slow down and not hit you with a wake. Fisherman are fisherman whether you chase the same type of fish or not if people complain someone will be happy to make boating illegal if they can do it. not saying you specifically

[@SlimAdventures]

I love me a golly whopper tourney, goodluck justin before I watch!

[@dwaincarter2624]

You might consider letting Daphne think for ya next time lol.

[@davidcrump2348]

He’s telling you he don’t like the hook in. The mouth. 🤣

[@davidsettle8456]

What sunglasses do you wear. Whats a good inexpensive sunglasses for fishing

[@KayakCatfish]

The glasses I was wearing in this video are Costas. I don’t really like them though because they don’t fit my head well. I used to have some cheap polarized glasses from Walmart that were pretty good for the price.

[@JerrelBaker-vo8xv]

How do we get tournament standings. Need to watch something while on the bank fishing.

[@KayakCatfish]

I post a link for the scoreboard on the community tab of my channel the night before the tournament

[@scottjohnson5374]

Sorry about not bringing the rain gear. I dropped the ball on that one. I'll get it together next time.

[@SH-os1ck]

That's what she said! 😂

[@c.w.fishing230]

I gotta ask what kind of kayak do you use that thing looks roomy

[@KayakCatfish]

Why do you never use the tail piece?

Boat ramp buddy wins again

[@terryhancock]

Which state are you fishing in

[@ZachHoltzclaw-fx3fu]

Tennessee

[@terryhancock]

Nice I thought you was in Oklahoma

[@raymondjohnson6496]

Them big cats when you reeling them in just like you reeling in a big old log they just lay there

[@keithdocreed]

Awe yes JJ ripping lips

[@michaelmello9510]

Great job 🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@KayakCatfish]

I had a rough slump but I have gotten back on them. I have been catching some big fish again. Got several videos filmed this past week.

[@dank-mcpuffins1267]

Remember to buy a cheap rain poncho, there a few bucks at the pro commie China retail store (Walmart) they fold up in to a napkin size, easy to put somewhere in tackle bag or on the yak. I scored a bunch awhile back in the clearance section, paid 0.50 cents each.

He is fishing Tennessee it’s just a reservoir

[@andybass2045]

Whats happning buddy looks like business has picked up after the 3rd week since you got back from vagus

[@KayakCatfish]

Yes sir. I’m out of my slump in a big way.

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

So close

[@troyhunt7847]

Why do kayakers act so surprised when real boats pass em? Lmao

[@davidcrump2348]

I bet we can agree about jet skiers. I can’t stand them. They will go all around you flying and disrespect you as a fisherman. And ski boats will also at times.

[@anthonyt1971]

Yeah. Mother nature be damned. She showed you I guess.

[@unkown3025]

bass fishermen are annoying some times

[@MrZap765]

Fist Pump Worthy. Another excellent video. He Gone

[@frightnight1049]

i have a huge question for you @kayackCatfish, [top end of Kerr lake or lower end] for cat fishing. this time of year is a nightmare for kayak fishing, lived here all my life absolutely love to eat catfish, I use a small paddle kayak but I have paddled from bottom to top of the lake, I don't intend on catching 20 pound and up but aye if I do I will record it for you! I have been dying to get back out fishing i don't care about competitions the thing I want most is food on the table and a good time!, big fish extra fun because I get to show everyone I got a free ride from a fish dragging me across the lake!

[@KayakCatfish]

I don’t know enough about Kerr lake to give you a good answer. In the reservoirs here this time of year, I prefer fishing the upper and middle sections though

[@johnnorftil8215]

The only reason why the bigger one is lay still on the board is because they're tired out from fighting so much them. Younger fish are full of energy. Not like the big boys
