I’m thoroughly impressed with your dedication to making great Catfish videos! Best fishing videos on KZbin! I look forward to every upload! Thank you Justin!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Joey! I really appreciate all you do for me.

[@robnielsen9371]

I must be one of the three left watching you mentioned. I paused your video to take care of my wife. Worth the wait! Nice fish man. Tight lines and sunny skies bud.

[@jamescardwell3254]

Sometimes, you just have to stop and enjoy the fruit of all your labor, especially with a sumo size cat, even if another rod is going down. Very nice catch on the fly. Thanks for taking us on another adventure. Congratulations on the pb fly catch.

[@aleccampbell4975]

You should see if there are any people that bow fish around your area, I bowfish fish in Arkansas and shoot plenty of red horse. I bet most bow fishermen would be willing to give you some for bait. I usually have trouble figuring out how to get rid of them all lol.

[@davidmohr1063]

I am number two of three watching. Those were some amazing catfish. The sumo on the jig was amazing, you have me sold on a jig below the suspended bait. Great video

[@AN-eo9pf]

Great day of fishing and what a nice haul. Always makes my day when you're on them like that. Pretty good quality of fish.

[@duanemitchell4598]

Justin, I am going to have to say that the big blue on the fly, has to be the biggest Catfish you have caught in a couple of years. Glad you brought us along . Keep them rods bent.

Congratulations on catching the gollywhopper Justin ! 😯 That was an awesome fish ! That bait stealer is what I usually catch ! 😢

[@ericlawhan7486]

That was one of the biggest blues I've ever seen anyone catch, nice job man. 😁

[@Dylan-si1rn]

Heck of a testament to the quality of those flys to get that big girl in on it. Ive bought a few packs and they arent very big hooks. This video is a phenomenal endorsement and sure as heck put me at ease over that concern

[@pigsandapples]

Congrats man! What a great session. That big blue on the fly. There aren't many, if any other youtube fishos that consistently catch such large fish.

[@jamesdurham5387]

What an awesome trip Justin great job! You have to be making more and more believers of the fly! I am sure a believer

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

The suckers, about all species of suckers, they like the riffles or just below the riffle area at the head of a hole, shallower water and use red worms, red wigglers or night crawlers. This time of year they should be near the head of a hole, getting ready to move up into the riffles, some may even be on in the riffles right now. I wouldn’t fish over 15-20 foot deep for them and that may be too deep still..? Just a little info for you about suckers, if’n you want to know Hoss! 👍👍✌🏻, I meant to say too, find you the smaller tributaries that empties into the Tennessee and follow that up until you see a riffle or what you think looks like a riffle, if you ain’t using a rod & reel to fish for them, then throw your castnet in riffles and just at the end of a riffle at the head of the hole, but you should be able to get some suckers in and around there somewhere, either Redhorse, white suckers and hog suckers or maybe a combination of all but the white suckers would be the more predominant species.

[@cflem6252]

Another great video. Think that was a 65-70lb class fish?

[@octorazor]

Hi, im new to fishing, but i was wondering, arent you supposed to have loose drag and not tight like yours was so your line doesnt snap?

[@KayakCatfish]

It depends on how heavy your line is. I use 40lb test so there is no fear of snapping with a tighter drag.

[@chillville5571]

Have you ever used live eel for bait? I fish the nuese and capefear rivers in nc and I can't find a better bait for a flathead or a blue. Any bait shops around you have them?

[@KayakCatfish]

We don’t have any eel here

[@chillville5571]

@KayakCatfish I might would see if you can find a vendor who sells them online,even if they are frozen. The old timers around here that have fished the nuese since they where youngens all use live eel. Most of them set about 24-48 bush hooks a day with a whole 1ft+ live eel on each one and maybe a bluegill or 2 whole on a few. I've seen so many monsters pulled out of them rivers and they all get caught on eel. They may react different to eel out your way, but I'd definitely try it, who knows may be a secret sauce that could help you kick Ryan's butt at the next tournament.🤣

[@jeremystanton382]

Those fly catches are crazy. You think they just want the fly or they just hit it before they hit the bait?

[@KayakCatfish]

No way to know for sure. I have caught enough cats on a jig while livescoping them to believe they will readily hit an artificial if it’s in their face though.

[@davidnewton3064]

How deep do you need to fish to use this straight drop down off the side of the kayak method? I imagine if the water was only 5 feet deep and you were suspending 2 feet off the bottom, fish are going to be spooked with the kayak so close. What about 10 ft deep? Or 15? What's the word?

[@KayakCatfish]

15-20 feet is the shallowest I will suspend baits. Any shallower than that, I prefer other techniques.
