[@michelflesner531]

Justin.. I absolutely love your channel. You are a great fisherman and person and a comedian!

[@TheBestLife35]

If there is anything good that comes from losing a giant, it's the fire it lights under your tale to get back out there. Would have loved to have seen that Volkswagen of a fish though!

[@YTWolfPlayzRBX]

that white was literally trying to fight for his life trying to not get eaten and trying to shake the hook off got me laughing actually 😂

[@mylyloy]

Great video! So glad we were able to watch a new one with the kids. I just knew it was going to be a Gollywhopper and then I said - it’s gonna break off. Will said no way is it gonna break off. Then it got off 🤦🏻‍♀️ noooo!!!!

[@nikkihayes9236]

MYRA LYNN!!😃🤗💖 It's always so good to see you! I hope you and yours have been blessed.🙏😇

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn! Glad you are getting some quality time with the family

[@Show.Me.Your.Kitties]

Man you have inspired me to just keep at it, dont even go home if you lose a gollywhopper. Cant catch em from the couch! We have all lost em. Keep goin man! Love the videos.

[@mylyloy]

Yay! The Wills kids are watching with us!

[@jonlutke9083]

When you brought up that first fish, it sounded like he was laughing at you, that the stinger fly got into your britches. Awesome video. Love watching you fish.

[@jeffhudson4817]

At least u got the opportunity to fight it for a few minutes. That’s the driving force that will keep u coming back for more. Thanks for sharing Money. Stay safe…

[@nextgengaming5061]

Another day, another vid. Love learning and getting to see what you experience. Keep up the great work Justin!

[@jamescardwell3254]

Another great video thanks for taking us along I hate that good fish came unbuttoned I hate to get a good feel of a big fish and that happen makes a man sick to his stomach for sure

[@bluesdad54]

Aww, bad luck on the gollywopper. However us regular fishers enjoyed the action. As always, Justin, it was a pleasure to go fishing with you. ❤

[@markgray8360]

Thank you Justin, you give us that don't have the time and money to do what you get to do for a living! You deserve it!

[@TheMouseCop]

We know the emotions you felt after loosing that fish based on the language you used. Not often to hear four letter words out of your mouth so we don’t hold it against you. Keep up the entertainment brother. You are living our dream.

[@jrmrencso8716]

I've been watching you catch fish for a while now, losing that big one hurt.

[@shaynealdana8789]

I was so into watching you fight that big fish my heart sunk too when it got off.

[@maifishinglife]

Nice video Justin! Man.. tough lost on the monster.. and the big mansions in the background.. wow 😅

[@travisgentry5494]

I was sitting back waiting to see that grandpa and get a major 👊🏾!!! Enough said, keep dropping lines bud!!!

THANKS FOR THE CONTENT AND THE EXTRAORDINARY TIPS YOU GIVE I APPRECIATE THESE TIPS VERY MUCH. I'M NOT EMBARRASSED EITHER.

[@briansuttles6743]

[@challanboggs4964]

Look at those houses in the background.

[@KayakCatfish]

High rent district

[@Brock_Landers]

Oh my Lord! I love to fish, but losing fish really hurts. I lost the biggest walleye that I've ever seen last week right in front of me when he flopped off the hook and he rolled over and swam away. I couldn't do anything about it. I was SO salty, but thats feeshin!

[@maharper100]

I been trying to get you to use a blue gill head for cut bait a long time. You finally gave in and see what happened. Monster flathead, too big to handle. You're welcome!!

[@leongillespie4312]

I watch you most of the time and I càtfish most anything that bites

[@glenmceuen9965]

"What a kick to the gonads." Way to reel it back. I'm pretty sure I couldn't hold my composure as well as you did. Another great video! Would have Iiked to see the bait fishing expedition, but I bet sometimes you just want to fish without messing either the camera...

[@davidmontaquila6556]

Damn I wanted to see that whopper!! Keep ‘em coming J. Love the channel 👍🏻

[@rustyfryman8889]

This reminded me of watching UK basketball. When you lost it my head was in my hands and I was saying Noooooooo like when UK basketball is losing to everyone they face lolol!

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

Anytime we lose a hog we call it Heartbreak Hotel, ex: damn you just checked into Heartbreak Hotel lol. I can relate Justin I've checked in myself lol, hate losing them big'uns!

[@jerryharris185]

I use a outside table umbrella on my boat it has a tilt in the middle

[@ee-mon-ee1653]

I like that "I don't give a diddly doo doo what's going on in other states it's legal in my state"... Exactly lol if I leave the state I do this amazing thing called look up the laws and follow their laws while I am there fishing... Love the vid wish I could get out fishing more this year I miss bringing in some precious sized toads... Wishing ya good luck on your endeavors out yonder.

[@dracocaine]

Happy fishing from south east Colorado! Love the channel

[@Justin_Mooney11]

Justin , in every freshwater video you’ve ever put out I have never seen you in a situation you couldn’t move a fish off the bottom let alone 5 minutes into the fight I truly believe that had the potential for a triple digit fish my hearts broken with yah bc I know that one hurt …. You’ll get her bud

[@leerose9933]

Man it's good to see you!!

[@AnthonyMtz0511]

Man I bet that was a monster man !!!! Darn brother I could just imagine how hefty that fish was.

[@dks9564]

As long as you're above the grass, it's a good day.

[@jimcopeunrestricted7217]

[@garrymillwood5507]

Great video as usual. Sometimes you just have to be happy just getting the chance to fish .

[@markbeshel954]

Justin, that's fishing. I've seen you lose 2 monster fish now on your channel, it sucks but they're still down there, as much time as you put on the water you'll get them sometime!

[@danielviens1687]

Oh fiddle faddle fudge I really wanted to see that one Justin. That seemed like a mega mondo fish I think it was bigger than a Golly Whopper!!!!

[@Outlawcatfishing1983]

Man im glad to see you caught fish. I went this morning around 10ish and didn't even get a bite. I was around Birchwood tn at the blythe ferry boat ramp in the channel. Not even a nibble on skipjack or night crawlers or chicken liver. Nothing. Sorry you lost your big one. I was looking forward to seeing that thing.

[@stephenhair5501]

Aww man.......that was a GIANT of a fish. When you can't turn them and move it off the bottom, you know it's a big, big fish. Sure wish you could have at least seen what it was. Oh well, there will be another day. Thanks for sharing. God Bless.

[@wadeplanty9856]

another gr8 video Justin keep them going awesome

[@madmanludwig5974]

I'm starting to think that Daniel may have put a hex bag in your kayak somewhere to steal your MOJO.

[@Jakem1872]

When u hook a giant you feel like Jeremy wade but when you lose it for about 5 seconds u never wanna fish again 😂

[@trazen420]

Sorry brother that fish was a biggun Hope you get a big one again soon .!!

[@Matthewscarphotography]

My buddy caught a 40lb flathead with American eel, I’m telling you man, you got to try eel

[@danfalley9296]

"No skunk today". You know my dad was born in 1938 (in Kansas) and I learned from him that you didn't want to get skunked, meant you caught nothing, been there many times. You ever wonder how far back that goes and where it started?

[@RolandAnderson-xo1gi]

When Justin cusses you know he's going through it

[@KeithDocReed]

Just got home and Justin has a post🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@snax-a-]

This is crazy lol I just got back from a fishin trip and lost the biggest fish of my life on a rod and reel (probably about 50-60 pounds) because it broke me off after a 20 min fight and literally I’m so upset lol and I watch ur video and see it happened to you too

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

You had a golly whopper on there for sure J i know you will get your revenge. still getting it done with the quantity. I went to the local farm and fleet store and found a St Corix panfish rod to replace the cheep shimano wal mart special rod i had broke the other day putting it to use this weekend. stocked up on the gulp too

[@billylaw4661]

Sorry you lost that fish Justin! Always the worst feeling when you lose a fish! Especially when you know it’s a monster and you didn’t even get to see it! 😭😭

[@robertbrambley8747]

Got to make sure positive sure that those hooks are Sharp. Laser-sharp

[@robertsyfritt9334]

GOLLY BETTER GET ON DOWN TO Burger King for areal whopper ha ha ha 😅love your show

[@dustinchafin8750]

Man there's nothing that sucks more than losing a fish like that I sure can't think of nothing worse when your out there doing what u luv to do and that happens

[@tonyjessen8204]

Dang hope ya didn’t get ah blister on your hand. That was a bunch of fish this trip. We took the float tubes out today,both of us got the big skunk.👍👍

[@brucemikkelsen7615]

Do you have a video about your kayak set up? If not could you share one please.

[@AN-eo9pf]

If it wasn't for seeing the fight on video and knowing that was a monster on the end of the line, some would say you're telling a fish tail. I know from experience and seeing many big fish getting caught that it had to be a golly whopper tugging like that line. Sorry for luck but the show must go on. Go land another one.

[@boerkuhjah]

Omg feel so sorry for you, I know the feeling of losing something like that. And don't even saw it made is even worse.

[@scotthenderson4376]

Nice job you should smoke a few of those. Where did you get the umbrella its a very good idea that sun gets hot.

[@markgray8360]

Try having a blue herron squawking at yu in yhe middle of the night in two foot of water! Ke and my buddy almost went out the other side of the boat!

[@randyshaw8613]

I think at some point every fisherman or woman has a story about the one that got away I can relate to that

[@JerryTolley420]

Do you think that big fish may have been a sturgeon Justin?

[@KayakCatfish]

We will never know

[@fredziffel3443]

Sometimes ya get the bear ! Sometimes the bear gets you. It happens to everyone, sooner or later. For what it's worth, it was a NOBLE EFFORT !

[@leongillespie4312]

You catching them ñow😊

[@brownra82]

Question for everyone… is skipjack the same as ladyfish in saltwater? I’ve heard it is but doesn’t look the same

[@jonboatmorava9115]

Hey Justin what's up with that umbrella..... JK buddy great video 🤣

[@KayakCatfish]

Function over style lol

[@Brock_Landers]

Also, I have many opportunities to catch skipjack, crappie, or bluegill in the Ohio River in my area (near Pittsburgh), but they're hard to catch decent bait unless you're really targeting them. Years ago I watched an old man catch a channel kitty that was bigger than him, and I even had a friend who was a local diver who quit his job when he dove down in our local stretch of the Ohio and he came face to face with a catfish that was as big as a Volkswagen Beetle...😂😂😂 But I have seen them that large, so I can't cast dispersions on his decision...😂😂😂 Edit: He quit back in 2004 when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan moved through our area and extremely flooded our entire area and even overran our local electric dam by feet.

[@brandonwoodcock4374]

One of the worst feelings ever is losing a big fish. Doesnt matter if its a catfish, bass, crappie, or any species for that matter. Makes u wanna throw up lol. Or it does me anyways. By the way that thing was pulling, and staying glued to the bottom, you definitely had a golly whopper. You will get an even bigger one though better long. I got faith in ya 🙂

[@jackchasteen8601]

Great fight 👏

Awesome content

[@wingerboyce6656]

Ok i don't usually comment ( not a hater ) actually like what you do and how you do it. I fish the James and the Chickahominy riv. For blues. Hate seeing you lose these bigger fish . Iknow you use circle hooks ( use on all my big fish endeavors ( blue cats,, cobia ,, red drum) lov the circle . It looks to me on your videos that you are using what we call a POINT INLINE CIRCLE hook . Give some thought to POINT OFFSET CIRCLE HOOK . I had the same/ similar issues with big cobia using a POINT INLINE CIRCLE ( 20 yrs ago) change to the POINT OFFSET CIRCLE HOOK ) haven't had a single non hookup fight with a large fish since the change . TIGHT LINES & SCREAMING REELS to you

[@jmo1link]

28:08 were you channeling Richard Gene there?

[@user-yo8zp3iw9z]

I really like your videos but you don't give enough credit to the smaller cats,to me any fish is a good fish a big one is just a bonus😁

[@davidmccormick9022]

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you David!

[@johnpettit1951]

Spray your bait with WD-40 and you’ll catch more big blues and catch them faster when you use it. There is nothing in WD-40 that will hurt the fish or the environment.

[@joemurray9131]

Why don't you use the tail section with another chunk on it. Please reply

[@chasl2216]

Maybe I'll find out later in the video, but I wonder if the big one you lost was hung up on something down there, like the end of a trot line or something

[@KayakCatfish]

I didn’t see any trot lines on the livescope

[@brandonbrewer21]

Man, loose too many fish like that and we're going start seeing you reeling up you other line before you try bringing them up 🤣 sucks to lose one before you get to see it😥... It always seems less heartbreaking if you at least see it before it gets off.

[@jimcopeunrestricted7217]
