Justin, I could listen to you “flap your gums” all day long lol. The way you talk to yourself and the fish crack me up. I would kill to spend a day with fishing haha! Keep it up brother

[@artnicol2792]

Thank you for not hitting the snooze button to get out on the water so early on this gorgeous day. I appreciate your determination to share with us Mother Nature in all her glory!!

[@rickygeary4879]

The tournaments in Ky are ok but we want to stop the Pay lakes should not be able to buy fish over 10 lbs. It takes to long to grow a bigger fish. The big fish should have to be put back to reperduce Even commercial fishermen should have a maximum lbs on over a certain size. Thank you. I have watched your videos for years. Like those golly whoppers.

[@FishingForQuality13]

The way u can talk to us u make me feel like I’m right there in the kayak with ya Especially when your doing the live cuts for bluegill etc .

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks. Glad you enjoy the videos.

[@toothman32]

I e watched so many of your videos, I’m calling flathead bite at the same time you are now! Can’t always put the time in on the water so I put the time in watching your videos. Thanks as always!

[@ronwelch6548]

I hang till the end. Great show, spotty on the fish but relaxing and enjoyable.

[@Tim-Sziminski]

Seems like it was just spring yesterday lol You are definitely a Catfish Slayer Justin 👍👊🇺🇲

[@terrencebuller7676]

Start to finish, wouldn't miss a minute. Really enjoy your program. Take care and best of luck to you. 👍👍👍

[@user-og2gj3cm1t]

I saw the last one! I always stay to the end. Another great video!

[@paylakehater4414]

Great Video!! Went fishing on the OHIO River Monday with my Kayak Catfish hat on and two buddies. I used cut bait and my buddies said i have watched too many of your videos, I caught 3 Flat Heads biggest 31 inches long while my buddies used live bait. Final talley i caught 7 fish and they caught none. I have learned ALOT from your videos so THANK YOU!!

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! That’s awesome!

[@markgray8360]

He was so happy that you helped him, he crapped his pants! Oh wait, you forgot to put his pants on!😂😂.

Ok ok!!! A couple nice easy 👊🏾 for the day!!! Keep dropping lines bud!!!

[@pigsandapples]

Loving this format with the early start/ glimpse of bait collecting. The pre-dawn light adds to the excitement

[@metalfacehertel]

I watched till the end brother. Love your videos and commentary.

[@Michagan_outdoorsman_James]

call it 2 fist pumps and a mud butt. hope you daphanie and Moma J are having a blessed week.

[@KayakCatfish]

Haha! Thanks James!

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

Justin! You are the Catfish King! Amazing SUNrises brother! I'm pretty sure skipjack (Herring?) don't eat Shad or vice versa. IF they do, I've learned something new! They are both baitfish that you can catch with plastic green grubs and Sabiki rigs. And cast net. I use a live well or bait tank with an aerator and salt to keep them alive for catfish and striper.

[@KayakCatfish]

Skipjack diet is almost exclusively threadfin shad. You must be confusing them with another fish.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Justin the pro! Creek mouths ... must be Autumn, my favorite time of year to fish, although these past few mornings dag gum cold. Creek mouths as in where the old creek ran into the old channel. I have not seen the numbers yet in shallower water, couple weeks out yet me thinks.

[@y2jamest2099]

You have some peculiar fish. Today And I was just saying hi from Peculiar missouri

[@duanemitchell4598]

Glad I stayed for the bonus fish. Always enjoy your videos Justin. Keep on keeping on and more bent rods to ya.

[@leerose9933]

And today I'm blessed with my favorite show to watch!!! Knock em dead brother!! Good luck 👍🤞!

[@fredziffel3443]

Your videos are fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

The Taco Bell joke cracked me up! Love your commentary! Keep it up, me and Elijah going to Guntersville with Josh brown this weekend!

[@KayakCatfish]

Awesome! Have fun! He is a great guide. You will catch some big fish with him.

[@Justin_Mooney11]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 takes a fresh dump all over the dam place ….awsome mornin can’t believe your still streaking on flatties solid episode justin great job out there bud

[@ted8103]

I was looking forward watching you catching a few skips. I thought you said you were going to try to catch some while cat fishing. Love content. Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch anymore after I got setup for catfishing that day.

[@Outlawcatfishing1983]

Just want to say thank you for all the videos. Thanks to you i have caught some really nice catfish. You sir are a blessing.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you

❤ that TN Sunrise! I'm 1 of the 3😂

[@marvinmangham9073]

Bonus. Great video as always Justin.. Thanks. By the way my daughter caught her biggest fish ever a few weekends ago... 25lb +/- flatty. I've been trying to get her hooked on a big one for a while. She was getting so frustrated from the big bites that weren't hooking up that evening, but I kept telling her be patient they're here and it finally happened....

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks! Congrats to your daughter on that big fish.

[@nikkihayes9236]

CONGRATULATIONS to your daughter, Marvin!!🎣🎉🎈🎊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That was some sound advice you gave her.

Another Great video! Congratulations on catching a Golly Whopper! A Flathead! Bro! Years ago you gave me tips and fishing has really improved! Bro! If you brought Daphne along! You'd catch world record! Keep fishing Bro from north Alabama ghenley35

[@ghackworth]

Love the videos. Are you anchored up in this video?

[@MartyCart]

Your fun-sized fish is bigger than any cat I've ever caught.

[@ashgangtv2675]

Love your videos Mr justin I’m a new fisherman and I want you to know the proper way to join a fishing club in my town ,

[@royschlickeisen2539]

👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video

[@kylejordan2654]

I really dont mind the skunk videos. Sometimes, that is just what happens.

[@frankribble4367]

Do you have any tips to keep Flatheads from coming unbuttoned? Usually, fish with 5 to 7" live bluegills or rock bass. Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Using thinner wire hooks and rods with stiffer tips helps a lot. Ultimately, a lot of them will still not get hooked properly due to the way they eat a bait though.

[@tenncutt]

So just started this video, are you drifting or anchored or what? I'm watching the first bait drops right now. How deep? Great video!

[@KayakCatfish]

Anchored

[@garrycomer8074]

Purpose of 8oz if you are fishing vertical?

[@tedbeard8286]

I can't help but wonder if that fish with the line in him wasn't the one that broke off while you were trying to catch crappie live scoping. I think that was earlier this spring maybe. I guess you would be able to tell if the line was thicker than 2lb

[@KayakCatfish]

I doubt it was the same fish. This one was caught a long ways from the other one.

[@darrenloveless7401]

What lb test mono main line do you use?

[@KayakCatfish]

40lb

[@patrickdavis6032]

Do you offer any type of guide Service ? Long time fan

[@KayakCatfish]

No, I’m not licensed or insured for that kind of thing. I appreciate your interest though.

Justin, that nasty cat fish that squirted all over. That's better than you getting the squirts out there with no amenities around. Just joking. Love the content. Stay safe. Cheers. 😊

Why do most american fisherman holding there rod upside down ??? are there advantages to fish with youre rod upside down ??

Hey Captn Skipjack do you deserve camera time ? you lost the first 3 fishes ! So in fact afther failing to get those 3 we should not see you for 3 hours on the camera !
