Catfishing by a Bridge!! (Surprise Catch)

Not much more American than kicking back under a bridge and catching a few catfish. At least my kind of American. It's a great way to spend an evening, and about all I could ever ask for!

Hey Spencer, Thanks again for providing great motivation to get back out there fishing! Now I've got my wife hooked ( pun intended ) and she caught her first today! We are even taking our niece's out fishing as well. All thanks to River Certified fishing is quickly becoming a family affair for us.

I only ever use J/ bait hooks for pretty much every fish that I fish for unless I'm fishing for bass then I use an EWG, I also try to stick with owner hooks.

Nailed it haha

[@davidhogue5716]

What kinda pole do you use line size an type of reel

[@coltwasham6910]

Dont know about out west, but in east Tn one of the best Flathead baits is fresh crappie, is either live or fresh cut

[@RiverCertified]

Flatheads seem to love em everywhere

[@jonathangosnell7910]

I would so love to catch a hybrid sometime when in your neck of the woods. We've got striped bass but no white bass on the east coast. Surprising that crappie can be used for bait!? You must have a ton of them in the midwest.

[@jonathangosnell7910]

p.s. sorry to keep writing but it's winter and I can't fish!? Or won't fish ... people seem to be slamming winter trout right now in western Mass. I'm going snow boarding !! Anyway, I digress... How many rods can you use at one time?

[@hikenmikes8262]

Maybe I missed it, but could you give your thoughts on your new Whisker Seeker catfish and carp series vs your older WS models. Does the lack of a sizable fore-grip pose any problems? Thanks

[@RiverCertified]

I usually fight fish holding the reel on channel cats, so it hasn't been an issue. I really like the spinning rod especially

[@redneckcrazy4985]

Love it bro cat slayer from indiana keep up the content 👌

Did you make those rod holders? Seem like they'd be lighter than the sections of pvc with rebar I use. Looking at a few spots I'd have to hike to and looking at changing up my rod holders.

Yessir, they're homemade

@@RiverCertified looks like I'll be doing another rod holder project this year 😅

[@jben8431]

Hey Spencer. Cool video as always. Someone commented about mushrooms. Seeing how much you like to cook (and eat lol), do you have Morels in Iowa? "Dry land fish" in Tennessee, tastes kinda like fish. Research them if you're not already taking advantage of them. Pretty hard to beat walleye (or crappie) and some deep fried Morels.

[@RiverCertified]

Oh we have em. I just suck at finding em haha
