MASSIVE Catfish Caught Again 5 Years Later

[@TheNcsipe376]

I like how you cared about it hitting the rod holder. People that respect the fish that they catch are the best

[@mawi1172]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 as the same man uses live bait. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He doesn't care if he hurts that fish. Can you imagine a giant tying you to a rope and dangling you in front of hungry lions? Trying to get away but your tied to it! What a nightmare. So....you have much respect for WHAT compassion? You're a joke too!

[@TheNcsipe376]

@@mawi1172 but the lion is still going to eat no matter what. He's literally using the same thing the catfish is going to eat eventually anyways. The bluegills are a dime a dozen, the catfish he caught though could be 1 in 1000 in the lake. The big one didn't get big because it didn't eat anything. Why watch fishing channels if you're that confused with the concept of fishing

Nice catch!! I had the same thing happen to me. I caught a 40lb tagged flathead twice in 3 years. Fish was 1/4 mile from where I last caught him. I agree, keep a couple dinks for Friday fish fry. let the big guy's go.

Justin I swear, when you caught that fish with the hole in the fin a few wks ago, as you was reeling it in I was wondering if you thought you've caught the same fish twice. As you landed it I was typing asking, but you answered b4 I could finish so I deleted it. You've done it twice in the last few wks to me that's amazing. I love your videos.

Justin inspired me to try catfishing from my kayak. I go out, catch bait, sit fo hours, and get skunked. EVERY. TIME.

Then, I watch a Kayak Catfish video and think to myself, "you know, I really need to go catfishing again!". lol
