I Caught The BIG Fish That Got Away

[@steezeeJ]

"Only got 2 videos out last week...i got other stuff goin on." I love that you are dissapointed that you only got 2 videos out this week but other catfishing youtubers i watch post once a week and sometimes cannot even promise a video every week. But then theres justin the man who puts out 3+ videos a week when the bite is on. 😂Much love from Stl. MO.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@anthonyirwin2636]

And he is consistently on the fish!

[@steezeeJ]

You aint lyin

[@ballisticballista8960]

Pulling in that blue on a crappie jig would of been the story of a life time, hell after seeing that I'ma have to starting crappie fishing with 30lb braid 😂

[@cheryl.539]

That was a great flat head catfish. Lovely markings on it. Well done.

[@MrNegativetaker]

As always you pour fuel on the fire, keeping me motivated. I've never caught a flathead yet and I hope to get one before this year is out. Fish on!

[@tomw3380]

Really nice flathead. Don’t you just love it when that drag is singing. And the a few decent ones to keep your interest up. Thanks for another great video and the information about fishing the humps. Tight lines

[@hoodbillyjohn9589]

That blue was saying thank you ,don’t let me go good sir u took the hook out my eye.. congrats on that monster flathead , an good night of fishing... an see as always wait till the end cause ya never know bout them bonus fish... thanks Justin for the vids man never fail to plz this audience from my house.. safe an fun fishing good sir..

[@dereka8041]

This is a top-notch channel because not only does Justin show you what he catches, but he explains how, where and why he fishes certain areas. That's the key, right there. Justin holding a catfish fishing ledges class tonight.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Derek!

[@philiph1802]

I caught one in that size range about a month ago before I left for work. It is the most amazing feeling ever to have a huge flatty ripping drag. I always enjoy your videos and our country accent while I'm gone.

[@halibuthooliganinc1058]

Cable needs to give this man a show!!!! I'd pay for the Kayak Catfishing Channel. Great work Justin

[@thegravescave4752]

Love these videos. When I see a new upload I get excited as a kid on Christmas morning lol.

[@lilpreston2853]

Love when you catch those nice fish nice fish

[@931tow]

My wife and I truly appreciate all of your videos and you have inspired us to get back out there and start fishing again. I am too old and too fat for a kayak so we last week went and bought a Bass buggy Pontoon boat. I ordered the Minn Kota powerdrive trolling motor with ipilot and should be installing that this weekend. We live in Cookeville but we prefer fishing on Cordell hall because we don't have the boat traffic there that you have to deal with in your neck of the woods.

[@blackbeltshredder]

Easily the best fishing channel on KZbin. Great video as usual!

[@p-citysmittycatfishing7160]

He and Catfish Dave are great. Give Kombatt Karl a look too. My 3 favorites.

[@BrokeBackBob4559]

Love your night time videos. I’m a night time fisherman myself. Love the peace and quiet of the night time. Great video my friend

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Justin Some young boy was telling his friends a fish almost pulled him out of the boat. And now he has your video to back up the story. 🐟🐟🐟🐟

[@Bigbd88]

Me and my friends laugh our asses off, when you dont even pick the rod up and say,( that's a flathead)like you know it ahahahaha

[@RUGER7750]

Awesome ! Great start to the week AND a bonus fish! Love it!

[@terryspence9326]

Heck yeah you are on the flattys! Love the video Bro.... and you are correct it’s been 42 degree several miring starting work.... I can only imagine that wind on the river! Stay warm we’re waiting on the next video!

[@darrelllucas3237]

I try to watch all of your videos. You are one hell of a fisherman! I usually always catch fish. This year has really sucked. I have always used live blue gill for flathead. But I'm starting to rethink what I have been doing. I was taught to fish by old timers that were known for catching big flathead on big river in Jefferson county Missouri.

[@sunfishassassin5963]

So I incorporated the dragging technique for shellcrackers for the first time this weekend..basically a 1 oz egg sinker with a bead behind it then a swivel and a leader about 30 inches a small float small hook with worms..I gave it about an hour and a half. Slow paddled about 20 yards off the bank parallel. .caught 4 shellcrackers in the 10 inch range..so it works..then I anchored out in a few more spots and caught 12 more on bottom lol

[@KayakCatfish]

Well it was a fun experiment anyways. At least now you know.

[@sunfishassassin5963]

@@KayakCatfish I think once it gets colder and the sunfish bed down..and dont move around so much it will be more effective than stationary fishing..and that is the goal

[@tracytodd8934]

I enjoy catching fish with someone else's tackle in them! Feels good to catch what they missed! 🤣

[@travismcdougal3666]

Your one heck of a fisherman, you definitely know what you are doing! I watch your show every morning. I'M jealous I wish I had flat's and blues like you've got down there. Right now we are in a winter storm warning, noreaster, I think the only thing we have here are channel cats I'm probably about an hour in a half from the Canadian border, love your show I'll keep watching if you keep fishing, God bless you.

[@mikewood7329]

" Just hang on and enjoy the ride" I caught a 30lb blue a few months ago (thanks to your videos!) that ran up and down the creek for 10 minutes. Best time fishing in a long time!👍🏻

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Congrats on that big fish!

[@georgehenley5880]

CONGRATULATIONS! That was a real GOLLY WHOPPER of a FLATHEAD! You really put the academy rods thru True test! Keep fishing Bro! ghenley35 from north Alabama

[@rogeranderson6668]

What a great evening Justin the weather's still warm enough to fish thanks for the video brother. Much peace and love from northeast Texas

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Justin, Show us the big old Flathead. Stay safe from Pennsylvania. God bless

[@paulpetersen9755]

I just love your videos keep up the good work, I'm glad to see that you catch and release the fish so others can catch them later its to bad the water in the river is polluted blue catfish out of clean water is mighty tasty , don't change a thing and stay safe out there.

[@joanieelliott-gray3679]

Good video. Fishing is rough up here on the Ohio right now. The Canelton pool anyway. Most of the flathead structure is out of the water. Plus dealing with the barge traffic with the water so low.

[@hensleyshobbies-doug7761]

Oooh-weeee! Holy Moly! Gots’ta love dim big ole flatheads! Get er done Justin, get er done son! I was always told by older and wiser men that early spring, right as the flatheads are coming out of their wintering holes and in the fall of the year just before the water gets too cold for the flatheads ( 50 and below), these are the best two times of the year to catch your biggest flatheads, especially right now till the water gets down to 50 degrees.

[@terrydeaton9586]

That's some fine fishing, Justin...Great job...

[@neillsayers1489]

Some very nice fish, Justin. Thanks!

[@Wilson-pu2pl]

Great vid, Justin, love those flatheads! Thanks for the bonus clip!

[@marktempleton346]

I heard you say flatheads are your favorite fish! Nice one Justin! Another week and I will be back down trying again!

[@lukeslifeoffishing9669]

Love your vids man keep up the great work

[@gregnuttall3637]

Great video Justin, that Flathead was beautiful , enjoyed it all.

[@willierobison5258]

I enjoy watching your videos every time I watch I learn something I can use myself to better my game. 💯

[@TimIrvin]

Some very nice fish in this video! Can you set waypoints with that motor? If you were fishing around a LARGE underwater island or hump and you wanted to fish along the North, South, East and West edges of the hump, can you store those positions and then just push a button to go to whichever side you want to fish? The SpotLock feature alone makes me want to get one of these.

[@KayakCatfish]

I can’t set waypoints in advance with this motor. I do have the ability to record my route so I could motor around the hump and then let the motor guide me after I have recorded the path for it

[@bro-wr5co]

what a fish! i would love to hook up on one of those

[@charlenehudson1347]

always enjoy your videos, always glad to see when there is a new one out.

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Great video, those flats are so much fun!

[@jeremytumlin3331]

I know your struggle with the skeeters. This time of year they are terrible. I hunt hogs and this past Saturday night they were worse than gnats. I broke out the Thermacell and they left within minutes. Best $20 u ever spent. Even with a breeze just put it upwind and let it do it's magic. Great video!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Jeremy!

[@bobbynewton9247]

Big flathead, caught some nice ones Justin love the bonus fish also be safe till next time happy fishing

[@Curryhunts]

I wish you would post videos daily Justin. I really enjoy watching you catch fish.

[@KayakCatfish]

I wish I was able to do it

[@joshjarnigan8279]

Hell yeah just another awesome video. That flathead was a nice one. Keep the great content amd videos coming. Stay safe on the water

[@tompower7576]

Love your videos! Can you share any tricks to how you can tell when your bait is sitting on the bottom and not floating a couple feet off bottom? I mainly river fish. Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

When suspend fishing, you can just drop your bait down to bottom and lift up to know the exact depth it is running. It should also show up on your graph if you are fishing vertically

[@gavinhuneycutt6713]

Another great day of fishing for you and really nice catch on that flathead

[@waynehawks4679]

Nice flathead for sure..allway.s enjoy all yr vid.s..catch ya on the next one...

[@terrisecasy6568]

You just can't get away from those small ones. You would think those big ones would start to feed like crazy getting ready for winter. Stay strong there's always another day👍

[@brianevans8523]

A solid fish!! vs. A solid ANGLER!! (Justin) Good job!👍🗝️

[@SH-os1ck]

Everyday I watch you... It's amazing. And I want to fish!

[@mofishingwithpete9862]

Nice man! I can't to start catfishing some of your techniques in my kayak.

[@charlieringo5701]

Great time bub I caught a 38 inch blue on a 1 inch berckly gulp minnow this spring on 6 pound test and in 2007 I caught a monster flathead on 6 lb test it took me around 9 1\2 hours to land it but it was in a farm pond

[@eveward5512]

How much that flathead weigh?

[@nathanleitz5060]

Looks like you had an awesome time fishing great job awesome flathead keep doing what your doing stay safe buddy 👍

[@ericflowers2146]

I caught a dang octopus yesterday at the pier in Myrtle Beach. Some good catfish right there

[@dennisfarley6574]

That first Flathead was a nice fish man.

[@loganjordan68]

I hope I'm not the only sub that thought of YG's "Bool, Balm, and Bollective" song when he said "cool, calm and collected"

[@TodayIFoundSomethingShiney]

I caught a 10lb channel on a 1/32 oz crappie jig, took us 15min chasing it in the boat to finally get it in. Same trip switches to a cane pole with minnows with 6lb test, hooked into another cat and line broke as soon as the cat realized it was snagged.

[@KermitTheGamer21]

I hooked into a 5lb channel while trying to get some bluegill. He came out from under a fallen branch and jerked my bobber down to where I thought I snagged on the branch. Fought me for a good 5-10 minutes on 10lb line. When I finally got him in and went to remove the hook, it just snapped in half. Thank goodness it didn't do that before I landed it!

[@anthonyirwin2636]

Great video Justin!

[@timothymccune2101]

Thank ya bud love your content ,

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Great video Justin.

[@SwaggFamilyAdventures]

Any pointers for rod holders on my bass raider and how to secure them to the plastic hull

[@KayakCatfish]

I would suggest trying to bolt them on with a backing plate if you have access inside the hull. If not, you could probably make a dashboard/rod rack to put across the gunnels

[@SwaggFamilyAdventures]

@@KayakCatfish I'm sorry to sound dumb but what is a gunnel? I can't get inside the hull. And do you have a video on that? Thanks for always taking the time when I ask your advice

[@chrismurdock6049]

Love them flatties. What a BEAST!GOOD ONE BROTHER.

[@stevenkimbrell8796]

Well it's always good to have action on the water that was a nice flat Flathead that you caught that was nice the blue cat now it was nice too in my category yeah that would be you know that that would be on up there not a monster but hey action is action thank you for sharing the video seem like you had an awesome time I look forward to the next one have a great day thank you Justin

[@mannyfishing1816]

Awesome nice catch

[@samgreninger6567]

Love the videos! I wish we had flatheads near my home. The only catfishing we have are bullheads and channel cats.

[@trevormartindvm]

I love Monday mornings! Checked youtube first! Wasn't disappointed! What's your favorite bait for targeting white bass?

[@KayakCatfish]

I catch most of my white bass on sumo spoons

[@jeffcalhoon3412]

Great fish for sure. I always enjoy your videos but if I can make one suggestion instead of just throwing old tackle back into the water you should dispose of it properly to set a example for people to take care of the environment.

[@Codebravo0514]

What setup are you using for your light?it's Very bright.

[@KayakCatfish]

Check out my video on how to film kayak fishing videos. I cover how I made my light in it.

Nice flatty! I need to get me a damn kayak!

[@ryanhall5515]

I'm new to fall catfishing I live in ohio I fish the ohio river what would be a good bait to use can you still get skipjack this time of year

[@KayakCatfish]

Skipjack is my preferred bait unless the water is really cold

[@PIXIENTROLL]

so nice to see the budget rods getting a full workout, was it locked up , or could it take a lot more?

[@KayakCatfish]

Felt like it could handle more. I have developed a ton of confidence in these rods

[@PIXIENTROLL]

@@KayakCatfish I honestly thought you would have given up on them by now. For some folk, what a great buy. Re ring them and enjoy for a few years. Shame I am in the UK, would love to find some Flatheads. Keep the vids coming, enjoy all of them ..

When you said something about a girl friend it made me think of a bit Patrice O'neal does. It's comparing women to fish. Great bit. He's a dirty comic but if you want a good laugh look it up on KZbin. Absolutely hilarious. Nice flatty there sir. Thanks so much for all the hard work making these fine videos.
