4 Hours of RAW and UNCUT Kayak Catfishing with Live Crappie and Cut Bait on a Flooded River

[@givemeabreakdoc]

Lmao. Justin making fun of bass fisherman, is priceless. I bass fish too, but it’s still funny.

[@williscop5171]

What a great story! It’s always risky to meet a hero of yours, because so many times they end up being an idiot. To meet a hero and have it exceed your hopes and expectations is such a great thing to hear.

[@Donnie-fishing]

I'm grateful you showed us how you went about setting up on a spot at the beginning of the video and not after you already had your rods out. I'm still working on this and it's helpful to understand the process you go through setting up on a spot.

[@fishin-afamilytradition524]

Got to watch the video today after a quick break at home. I'm back on the road and watching videos. Great video, as always. Have a blessed night, Justin.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Teri! Be safe out there

[@andybass2045]

Hey Buddy great to see ya glad you won the tournament this past weekend

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Andy!

[@greatoutdoors3931]

Appreciate your hard work and dedication. Thank you.

[@bryanroberts]

Dale Murphy, Glenn Hubbard, Howard Johnson... man i loved that team!! I grew up same era !

[@josephpointer7521]

Justin thanks for another video man you have me dying watching most of your videos makes me put my thinking cap on thank you for your time

[@garrymillwood5507]

Always love your videos .

[@colemanreed6438]

Thanks for another great video man. I always enjoy watching your decision making process when a tactic you’re using isn’t working to your liking. It’s one of the best traits of an angler to consistently try different presentations during an outing. I thought I’d mention something I saw on KZbin the other day. The guys channel is called GI Joey. He’s used a spare room on his house to construct a terrain project for his action figures and vehicles. I wouldn’t suggest anyone do this, but it’s cool to watch.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! I will check out his channel.

[@mikemead4690]

Thank you for the video. I try to fish once a week. I work 50+ hours a week as an automotive technician and have 4 kids. I go early Sunday mornings and try to get home in time for lunch.

[@EliKaiser-d4k]

Huge fan 😊 🎣

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Eli!

[@tonybivens1945]

I would enjoy a trailer tour video and the new kayak setup

[@douglasmedlin7159]

Just watched the new night highlight video its nice to know you have big one when you just see the tail and know what it is.🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣and the next one was not too shabby or the stinger catch.

[@zachturner3443]

Great video man 🎣🎣🎣

[@codeman804]

Im just getting started on the video, but thank you for yet another video! Congrats on your win! Im hoping that you win AOY. I just got home a little while ago after taking my 4 yr old son fishing for the first time. I tried your ultra light set up (1/64 jig with 1 in smelt minnow) and holy cow! Those blue gill was hitting that thing as soon as it hit the water! I would have never tried those if it wasnt for you and your videos! So, thank you for that!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Cody! Glad to hear the gulp are working well for you.

[@roberthowe5315]

I'm behind again on your video's justin life you know how it is thanks for another trip out there i enjoyed it you stay safe out there

[@joshuamorgan177]

Justin, it's all good Bro your doing awesome. Don't let'um pull you out of your character

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. like the talk about the wrestling. hope you got your new kayak. stay safe

[@leerose9933]

Great to see you!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lee!

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Please show us more settings up time. Please, it helps us that actually get out and fish. The ones that find setting up to be a "waste of time" aren't actually fishing so they can fast forward 😉 thanks for all you do

[@alexandersoler8046]

I was following your tournament results. Checking daily to see if you will upload any content from the action. Excited for your win! Will you upload any video from your win? I just turned 40 and finally jumped on a Hobie for myself. You inspired me to level up my catfishing adventures.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Yes, videos from the Louisiana trip will start coming out next week.

[@zakhenderson9197]

Love the videos man

[@pigsandapples]

I couldn't agree more - people with great memories that can recall details of names, dates and places from thin air...they impress me so much. If I could add one facet to my personality/skill set, it would be that type of memory. Sadly - I'm the guy umming an ahhhing trying to remember my neighbour's name. lol.

[@bartfoster1311]

I was at Guntersville a week ago for a bass tournament and that current was really cranked. I was going to try to catch some smallmouths but there was no way i was paddling out into that current!

[@blakesnead6906]

We also had a little town in southwest Virginia get washed away Damascus,Virginia heart of the creeper trail. Start of TVA river systems. Justin you need to come try for some big flatheads on South Holston!

[@andybass2045]

I agree with you about Pete Rose I loved the way he played ball

[@davecampbell3455]

I have to get better at hiding things in your kayak. You're finding them way to quickly! :)

[@mikemead4690]

Let’s get on em!!

[@WyattMcElwee]

Always good to see a new video come out to pass the time. Btw, what's that sound at 21:04?

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Wyatt!

[@goodman4773]

Great story about Pete Rose.

[@dancrossjesus]

"Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish, he can eat for a lifetime." How many people do you think these videos have taught to fish? Tens of thousands, probably. Maybe more. If that preacher, you mentioned, REALLY wanted to feed his congregation, he should apply your methods and keep their freezers full!

[@larryw-sb5tr]

Im not a planer boards fan either but that high flow situation might be where they would come in handy, still only fishing 3 or 4 lines you might be able to prevent them from getting each other's way

[@WilliamCase-m8n]

What type and size of battery do you run I have a kayak with a triple shot and trolling motor but my battery doesn't last long if I run both

[@KayakCatfish]

I have a 100ah lithium for the motor and a 30ah lithium for the graph.

[@andybass2045]

When you said earlier when you was 6 years old in 1988 I just graduated highschool how cool is that

[@XRP22centcrew]

When u put a new xi3 on did you ever have a problem with it getting a gps signal?

[@KayakCatfish]

I had a gps unit go out on my last xi3. I replaced it and haven’t had any issues with the new one.

[@jasondeansmith79]

Something I’ve always wondered is what kind of soap do you use to get that oily skipjack smell off your hands?

[@KayakCatfish]

I use zest bar soap

[@timharris7425]

Im just curious, have you ever tried putting a small piece of cut bait on the fly along with your normal cut bait, i would like to see if the results would be better or worse.

[@KayakCatfish]

I haven’t done it but I’m sure the results would be better.

[@JayJingles-t1i]

You should try Buck creek state park while you’re in Ohio, it’s fairly close to Franklin county. Probably 1hr or so. Not real big. But pretty good fishing. Or a real good spot is rocky fort.

[@joshjohnson6330]

Did u get that championship in the bag?

[@KayakCatfish]

I don’t have the championship locked down but I’m in the lead going into the final tournament.

[@JayJingles-t1i]

You and my wife, must have different standards and definitions for fun size! 😂

[@oldmanonthehill8661]

Baby steps …. I listen to Dave Ramsey on the radio on my ride home from Nashville ever day till I retired .

I can tell you my school wall locker combinations, every phone number I ever had, but names have always escaped me. 65 now, and my ability to learn names is still non existent.

When is the videos coming out from your Louisiana tournament trip coming out

[@KayakCatfish]

First video will come out on the 20th

[@MrZap765]

Another Awesome Video. Just made my day im giving it a thumbs up before i even watch it cause i know its going to be Freaking Awesome 👍👍👍👍🐟🐟🐟HE GONE!!!

[@andybass2045]

My mom was a nurse for 30 years so I know what you're talking about

[@brandons.3097]

Just on the topic of movies/shows getting more graphic. They've definitely always been graphic Justin. Lol The A team originally released in 1983. Just one year before that John Carpenter's the thing rolled out into theaters with an INTENSE amount of gore, and video games have given us their best shot with what their time's graphics allowed. People are desensitized to death because we now see it on our phones in all it's glory at any moment we please.

[@RiverJunkie]

I agree about Pete Roses. I had the same memories growing up. MLB should be ashamed.

[@andybass2045]

We call wrestling now the freak show

[@Retiredcop052]

Hey Justin ……. I miss your videos, ( medical issues ). But I’m home and comfortable. I have a question …. Do you have to register your kayaks with motors ? In the “Constitution” state of Connecticut, all vessels with engines regardless of electric / gas must be registered. Therefore, any registered motor vehicles / vessels must then pay personal property taxes at the end of the year. Any other subscribers reading this, do you have to register your motorized kayaks in your state? If so, what state.

[@KayakCatfish]

Yes, we have to register kayaks with motors here. It’s $15 per year. Hope you get to feeling better.

[@Retiredcop052]

@@KayakCatfish yes thank you ….. hospitalized with a severe bout of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis …. Fatigue paralysis … happens a few times a year. The perks of police work and I’m only 51. Barely made it to retirement in Dec 2019. At least I got out right as that “Virus” started.

[@AlleyCatPro24]

Man, I wished I could get my Xi3 to spotlock and not jerk me around on my kayak like yours does. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

[@KayakCatfish]

I don’t know if there is a way to adjust it on the motorguide like you can on the Minn Kota and power pole motors. You might want to try calibrating it and see if it helps though.

[@AlleyCatPro24]

@@KayakCatfish I will see.

[@oldmanonthehill8661]

I came back to the TV , you were emptying a five gallon bucket . I thought you were washing the nasty yak while fishing …. Hint Hint 😃

[@bestmoney5285]

I’m really curious , but do you be nervous fishing in a kayak , you be fishing in waters that’s like 40 feet deep or more and I would be terrified 😂

[@KayakCatfish]

As long as you are in a stable kayak, there is no reason to be fearful of deeper water.

[@bartfoster1311]

@bestmoney5285 when I marked 400 feet deep near the dam at Carters Lake in Georgia it did feel a little weird how much water was under me

I still watch some ohio valley wrestling on KZbin but that's only because it's still local and cheap if you want to watch in person

[@JayJingles-t1i]

This was recorded on my 39 years after birth. So let’s catch something assuming you dont screwy it up. Lol 😂 but I’ll tell you something I noticed now versus back then. These movies and shows out now is all focused on getting you to wanna live this materialistic life and upgrade to outdo your friend or neighbor. But they don’t tell you the truth that it keeps you working till the day you die to never gain a damn thing or take it with you.

Exactly right. Many blame the president for things out of their control but does nothing in local government which affects so much, even things the president tries to do.
