Justin, you have produced the product that I enjoy the most. I wish you great fortune for your efforts. I am always looking forward to seeing your fishing videos. Great job!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Joey! I appreciate your support.

[@YTWolfBoyPlaysRBX]

You gotta love moments when as soon as you drop baits and lures in the water, the fish will just hit it instantley.

[@leerose9933]

The flathead catfish Trimble at the mention of your name. Golly woper time!!! Great 👍 to see you my friend!!! God bless you 🙏!!!

[@wakingforbacon6439]

I done the aame thing one day. Threw a big large mouth bass out as bait. Bout 14 inches. Had a 67 pound flat hezd grab it soon as it hit the water. I had just barely locked the bell. Literally jerked the pole out of my hand. Thought i was gonna be swimming for my rod. Lol. Have had a few do that over the years. Get fish feeding agressively in a spot. And you can have a fun day.

[@fredziffel3443]

I know you don't want to PRESS your opinions, but everyone here recognizes both, your experience and your integrity. Your "opinion" has value. Thanks for sharing that and thanks for being the most consistent Catfishing videographer on YT ! I wish you the greatest success in all your endeavors!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you

[@duanemitchell4598]

All right. Let's go! Hope them cats are all golly whoppers. Thanks for the video as I can actually watch it as I'm riding on the bus.

[@paylakehater4414]

Another GREAT video!! I counted 7 Flatheads and 2 that splashed you in the face. I wish you could of had a couple 7 inch Bluegiles just to see if they hit them quick also, Those 2 on the drop was great!!!

[@jasondauenbaugh9060]

I've been watching your channel for 3+years. Justin you are the cat man!!

Man what a day! You put in the work Justin, you deserve it! How do you not have a million subscribers?

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

Love the longer videos. We need more bait/catfish trips like this! Such an awesome video! Love it when the bite is instant! As always, great video Justin. Have a blessed evening.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Teri!

[@nikkihayes9236]

Justin, you're the BEST at catching the Catfish and even Foul-Hooking; but I bet I got you beat on QUANTITY and quality of "Stick Fish"!!💯😂🤣😂

[@keithdocreed]

[@KayakCatfish]

[@rogerwilliams3097]

Awesome job Justin Good fishing 🎣

Killer video man! Whisker award worthy…👍

[@robertdingus839]

What a great trip. Can't wait till I have one of those trips myself.

[@philipstephan5451]

Hey man love the cat fishing videos. Do you check your hooks to make sure they are still sharp? It seemed like a few were not hooked well in this video and got off free. I love the videos and you were grabbing rodds left and right keeping you going the whole time. It's all about the good times doing what you love to do. Great job stay safe. 😊🎣

[@McWhiskersFishing]

Thanks Justin for all the teaching videos you upload! Very instructional and informative!

[@roberthowe5315]

Great day for flatheads just to bad you didnt get more live baits stay safe out the justin thanks for taking me along with ya

INSANE fishing trip for several reasons. So insane you know a day like this will never happens again ! 😉 Good vid Captn Skipjack .... and well done

[@scottalspach8020]

That was freaking awesome, dropped it right in his mouth. Great video bud.

[@jamescardwell3254]

That second white bass getting ate right on the drop was awesome. If memory serves me right through all the videos I've watched of yours I think that's the second time I've seen that for you. Maybe the third it's been a while, for sure. Thanks for another great video. And I'd just like to say from the other 2 or 3 KZbinrs I watch you, sir are the most consistent at catching fun size to fist pump worthy fish.....

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@johnknotts885]

Congrats on a great day of fishing!! Well deserved for putting in the time.

[@McWhiskersFishing]

Thanks for sharing Justin!

[@jamesdennis8699]

that first op/flat would be tasty

[@keithwest6859]

Great video Justin! Thanks for the filming!

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Like the way you slid that flathead in when that boat was close by.

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha!

[@quentinsalters9132]

When it’s been a long day at work and you get home and see an upload from you. Forget all about that long ass day. Awesome video Justin! Also, i really enjoy watching you get your bait and the process of how you get prepared for a day of catfishing!

[@runwideopen3444]

Awesome video! We love watching your videos when we get home!

[@tinawhite9766]

That was fun to watch. Great video

[@kennethcarmack8031]

That dang Blue at 43 minutes,,,big whiskers. Helluva hole right there. Nice job as always Justin.

[@davidmohr1063]

What an amazing Flathead fest. You are the catfish wizard and have taught me and others much about catfishing oh great grand master. Tight lines and screaming drag my friend.

[@donaldthomas6520]

Cool video brother keep them coming peace out from Ohio

[@stevenkimbrell8796]

No sir it's not to take it as a grain of salt you are right. I have heard from several other anglers that the sound wave from the sonar or the down imaging it does scare the fish away and it causes them not to eat. So you are making perfectly good sense when you are talking about turning it off and having better luck at catching fish with the sonar being turned off

[@marvinmangham9073]

Man, edge of the seat, action packed, and made me laugh.. I see you've heard this about this video already...but I'm gonna say it anyway...if this wasn't my top video you've made it's at least top 3. Five seconds before you said whole skip jack going down, I had just got done saying it... Awesome video JJ. Liking the catch bait first and then the main event all in one.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Marvin!

[@ajfeltr]

What a crazy adventure!! Way to go Justin

[@kesyinhsueh512]

Another super episode packed with excitement, seeing flatties and chunky blues rushed jumping into the kayak!

[@charlenemclain411]

Awesome like always..Ty keep on catching them blues and flatheads...😊

[@terrencebuller7676]

Congratulations Justin, great Flathead fishing trip. Awesome program my friend. Take care and best of luck to you. 👍

[@publiclandwaterfowler]

That was awesome Justin!

[@johnflowers2457]

Fall catfishing. By far my favorite

[@travisgentry5494]

I'm fumbling for words!!! Two in your face drops, plethora of flat heads, and of course 👊🏾 action!!! Awsome, keep dropping lines bud!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Travis

[@travisgentry5494]

@KayakCatfish yes sir!!! Thanks for continuing to give us your channel to watch!!!

[@mylyloy]

This video has to be in the top three of my all time favorite Justin videos!! This was great!! Fantastic! 👊 I had so much fun watching this I think I’m gonna have to watch it again!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@user-vz8cd5hz6p]

My dad when I was a boy had a standing order with all the local commercial fishermen around for big flatheads

[@maifishinglife]

Man! Things got very interesting on the 14min mark! That yellow bass was doom from the start lol nice one Justin!

[@_seekingthetruth_1447]

That was a helluva day! When I tapped onto the video and saw it was around 50 minutes, I figured we were in for a treat. Thanks for sharing all the pointers as well. I've wondered the same as you if the electronics could be causing some fish to leave or shut down on the bite. It seems like you may be onto something there Justin.

[@KennyK60]

Just nothing but AWESOME !!!

[@pigsandapples]

Awesome man!!!

[@frankribble4367]

You are lucky to still be fishing. With lows in the 30's catfish season is over in Michigan.

[@tommycarroll4431]

That's a great day of fishing Justin

[@user-lo4gy9re8l]

Heck of a day by all, nice fish!

[@caseycouch2450]

Another awesome video! Gotta love those bites when you're about to put it in the rod holder. 😂 Something I've noticed since I've switched hook placement on livebaits, I switched to nose hooking mainly and haven't had many issues with the hook doubling over. I also go on the top behind the dorsal fin on some things. Good luck on the next trip, sir! Hope to see ya on the water one day. 🎣

[@chrismurdock6049]

Awesome day brother. Darn good video again!!!

[@hellaciousj6059]

Here in Oklahoma and in Texas, Flathead love live baits. I agree with you about those yellow bass. Very tough and underrated bait. They are good as live baits or cut baits

[@virginian7317]

When I think I have seen it all!

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Charles! I really appreciate your support.

[@ShowMetheHawgs]

Videos like this make me wish Missouri allowed us to use crappie as catfish bait!

[@jasondauenbaugh9060]

Catch yourself a few small channel cats. The cats you despise the most will catch you your pb flatty.

[@WilliamHill-in6yz]

Justin I have always hooked my live bait threw the front of the eyes, they seem to stay a little more lively and my hook ups seem to increase.

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Through the eyes. I hook my live baits the same way thwt Justin hooks his cut bait. Up through the nose holes. Cause 90.percent of catfish are gonna eat a bait head first.

[@WilliamHill-in6yz]

@@wakingforbacon6439 absolutely right.

[@Terry-bb7yr]

[@Harv870]

Some of my friends would lose their mind watching you put hooks into crappie to feed to catfish lol

[@danielcox8498]

Turned out to be a real good day for you. This is more of a comment toward catching that Flathead for a second time but have you ever considered tagging your fish? The TWRA might set you up with all you'll need.

[@KayakCatfish]

I wouldn’t want to take the time and effort to tag them.

[@stevew6910]

Found a flathead hotspot , I bet you wish that you had plenty more live bait, No doubt a real big one was lurking

[@matthewmercer2477]

Use crappie nibbles on jigs. Nice fishing.

I have a 10’ fishing kayak. I’m thinking of buying a spot lock trolling motor for it. What type of trolling motor do you use? Love!! Your channel. I wish you the best.

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Cat fish are more sensitive to electricity than fish with scales. There barbles pick up other fish so it has to detect fish finders.

[@KayakCatfish]

Makes sense

[@y2jamest2099]

It was a flathead party

[@terenceparrish6292]

😊😊😊😊😊😊I'm new to catfishing, is the maximum drag the most important thing, or is it the line size?

[@KayakCatfish]

If you choose to use lighter line, drag pressure will be more important.

[@simplyfishing231]

What size lithium battery do you recommend for the xi5? 50ah or 100ah?

[@simplyfishing231]

Xi3 sorry

[@KayakCatfish]

I use 100ah. Get the biggest you can budget for

[@MrKatfishHimself]

I've suspected for a while ,that you have these fish on payroll, catching the same fish twice, catching two fish on one hook, now there just down there with there mouth open waiting for you to drop the bait down. 😂😆
