Hope you listen to Spencer's podcast 👍

[@robertlopez4843]

Absolutely I always say I need to make more time to throw a line or two in the water Instead of only getting 3-4 hours every 2 weeks of fishing in So watching his videos helps me get my fishing fix Thanks Spencer

[@PigPatrolTV]

That's a nice sun shirt you got there Spencer.

[@tomthomas4666]

I've been watching your videos of catching bait. Here's a trick an old man showed me that works pretty well and doesn't require bait. He took a small piece of leather shoe string and tied it on a long shank perch hook. He then took a couple of three worms and smashed them up with some water and he would soak the leather string in it. He was catching perch one after the other. I was very impressed it worked great. ( at least for him) I really enjoy your videos the bait fishing as well as the cat fishing.

[@deefisherguy]

River floats plus you sir = pure entertainment thank you kindly.

[@Dr.4386]

The only fishing channel I watch because it's about fishing and not stupid antics and money spending for entertainment purposes... thanks for keeping it pure River bud. Luv from the 641

I wish my grandson Paxton Harville could go fishing with you. He loves fishing in a kayak ❤

Seems to be a familiar stretch of river. Long time ago....

I really like when you do the catch and cook videos keep them coming

This guy and Catfish Dave. Always good videos.

Best part of the Day River Certified!!

[@EarlConley]

I would like to see and watch your fishing buddies enter a catfishing contest. I would like to see Sam, Ryan and Spencer all get together on a catfishing tournament. I think it would great to what and see if you guys can win it.

[@ethanturner9915]

Ahh the highs and lows of flathead fishing. Gotta love it

[@DWSOutdoors]

You eat like a king on those sand bars! I need to get out camping more!

[@coryweaveroutdoors4998]

Fire that dude! He sucks! 😂 It was fun as always regardless. If you want the big bullhead, you better be quicker to the draw lol. Ella’s chili was bomb!! And for the record, the crocs are red, just slightly fading like we all do as we get old lol.

[@RiverCertified]

Haha it's tough to win em all man. I'll let you bring the big bullheads next time haha

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

I’ll bring the bait! How many do you want. 🤣

[@coryweaveroutdoors4998]

@@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa you need to change shifts so we can hook up sometime lol

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

@@coryweaveroutdoors4998 I stay on shift 4 cause I have family on shift 3 but definitely will save some vacay for a trip. I have 2 days I need to plan on using by the end of the month or maybe next month.

[@tlgoodwi1]

Wow Spencer, that Chili cheese fish dinner looked amazing - bugs and all. It was cool that one of them volunteered to check the hot oil for you too. I am glad I had already eaten tonight because otherwise my salad would have been super disappointing. Thanks for taking us along on another fun adventure.

[@DanielBoone337]

I keep a small tin with lighter pine and those tinder quik fire tabs along with a fero rod in everything... You never know when you're going to need a fire and with those 3 things I've never been in a situation I couldn't light one. If you're an outdoorsman those 3 things are a must have... LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@dylanphillipson9219]

I've had too many nights like that this season, I feel his pain

[@wl5225]

Pulls the pole out so delicately and it's not one but 2 misses I cussed for him Frankenfish for the close always enjoy the content

[@tdmd19841]

I have learned a lot from you even tho I have been fishing for big 🐈 all my life it's good to watch someone else on how they fish and learn like using floats with rattles keep up the good fishing

[@RiverCertified]

Hope it all helps Ya catch a few more!

[@Fishingwithmayor]

Same ! Seems like the whole big fish fishing camping and cooking on the bank is fading in the new generations. I grew up in a time when my grand parents fished hunted foraged for mushrooms and gardener was a way of providing for the the families.. sometimes I feel like the last of a dieing breed.. every time I come across the younger generations I try to share knowledge and adventure in hopes it'll spike their interest...

[@TheDetroitman20]

That is gut wrenching losing 2 in a row like that. But dinner looked amazing (shoutout to Ella). Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@ImPacosTacos]

Took a coworker fishing today for Salmon on the Columbia. I caught about a 25lbs wild had to let go at first light. Was able to put my buddy on two really nice 15-18lbs Chinook/King Salmon, made me feel good to be able to put a friend on fish! Feel like thats something I learned from these videos, its success when yo utake friends and put them on a goodin. Tight lines boys!

[@W0blex_Gaming]

Well i went fishing two days in a row the first day i caught a 25-30lbs Alligator snapping turtle and the second day i was in a kayak in a log pile and caught a 35-40lbs alligator snapping turtle

[@bluesdad54]

Oh, is "Dinner Cat" a new species? Lol, love it, Spencer.

[@RiverCertified]

It's one of my favorite species if it is haha

[@MaPopFishing]

My heart aches for Cory...the pure silence you gave speaks louder than words. ha

[@RiverCertified]

It's part of the experience man. Unavoidable unfortunately.

[@josephferry5518]

This better be me catching some next year man

[@jamesickes9997]

Sitting here watching this I missed a giant flathead broke off the leader. Favorite channel by far

[@RiverCertified]

That sucks man. Hope you get another shot!

[@frickschunnoutdoors304]

Went out Friday doing a little bank fishing on the ole Mississippi. One good flattie all night. was still a great time though

[@haroldcale4767]

Fishing catch and eat. fish on !

[@paulcline7250]

Dig the classic movie references, you were raised right! I need to get into catfishing, these vids are addicting, especially the kayak ones. Cheers!

[@austinarmstrong346]

RYAN NEEDED TO BE their with y'all 😂

[@jschang29]

Corey did everything right on that first fish that came off. Sometimes the hook just isn't in the right spot. The second one loss was just kicking someone when they already down lol. Good video. Keep it up.

[@RiverCertified]

Sometimes it's just not meant to be. Sucks either way. Thanks for watching man!

[@jondoe8914]

@@RiverCertified I've had alot of misses like that and when I eventually hook up and bring it to bank it's always a big gar so if there's gar in that river coulda been that lol

[@andrewrobinson2234]

My last outting, I had this exact problem. Picked it up, took it for a ride then when I started bringing it in just let go. Almost reassuring to see it happen to someone that I know for sure knows what they're doing!

[@briansuttles6743]

great video. losing big fish hurt, because you don't know just how big they were. shore dinner look good. stay safe.

[@RobertHorton-p8o]

Something about waiting for that Big bite that keeps us cat guys going

[@caseydodds4433]

I am set up for an overnighter,was fishing for some extra bait and hooked a medium sized gold fish. He is now on the bottom. 😁

[@shawnt9256]

Another fine River Certified Production

[@RiverCertified]

Glad ya enjoyed it sir

[@dextersgarden404]

So i found your content recently and am absolutely hooked. I haven't seen ALL of your videos yet, but I'm working on it. In the meantime... what is your favorite combo to catch monsters on?

Always look forward to your videos. Sucks your buddy lost a couple. But he’s right. It’s fishing. Keep them coming.

And anotha one!

Lol "THE MAD CATTER"!!

[@thewiedbraukfam]

Seriously go with the 7/0 Lazer sharp eagle claw circles at Walmart. They are all I use on my poles and I just reel down, no huge hook set needed and get em damn near every time

[@tjcoldiron9556]

Keep it up man love the videos

[@madcatterfishing2437]

Get video nice fish. You are a brave man eating chili on a sand bar. Hope you brought TP.

Oh but when they break the line my mind would go crazy 🤣

You were definitely 100 percent mad lol

Only a little haha

Nice a new video😁 Great way to end a day of putting a pool in the ground. 🤘

[@RiverCertified]

Hope you enjoy it man!

[@TheBull15553]

Man you really give me the fever, there's nothing more that to go fishing with you. Keep up the good work and your hooks sharp, PS love seeing you cook and eat the fish I can just taste the fish when you cook and eat it. I really love to eat fish fried, baked or grilled. It sure throws a craving 9n me. I have become a great fan of certified fishing and love follwing you on youtube.

[@1J77J1]

Frankenflatty was most likely once on a trot line and ripped himself off causing that huge rip

[@RiverCertified]

That's kinda what I was thinking too

[@riverrat988]

Feel bad for Cory. That pain lasts a while. You got some good ones for sure. Great video Spencer

[@RiverCertified]

It definitely happens to us all. Thanks for watching as always sir!

[@rickeggers644]

I would like to see a video of you catch clean and cook gar.... if you have not tried it, you'll be surprised. Just eat the back straps and make sure you have rose bush pruners and sharp knife. There are many vids on youtube on how to clean them.

[@richarddelaney4803]

I love the idea of hitting sasquatch with a, "sweet double leg!" You must be from Iowa. :)

[@RiverCertified]

Haha you caught me on that

[@thecripple69]

another awesome video man thanks again notice you are rocking josh's shirts lol

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

I feel for Cory brother, keep up these awesome videos man

[@matthewotis3594]

Shows the greatness of catch and release. Nice flatty with a torn out jaw. I keep some eaters but badies and grannies go back to the water. Nice

[@RiverCertified]

I'm with ya 100%. They are definitely delicious tho haha

[@RamblingMadMan2]

My guess is that the Franken flat had been hooked on a limb or trout line and broke off. Love the content and tight lines 👍🤘

[@rogerwilliams977]

Celebrity Death match= Spencer vs. SASQUATCH! MONEY!

That takedown was sick btw. Sucks you lost that bugger.

[@doodoocaca7663]

[@Richard31781]

I always learn from your videos my friend. Keep it up and I will have my own channel down south

Corey would catch more fish without them pink shoes lol

Nice one! I wanna go camping/fishing. I have plans/dreams but life sucks too. Work sucks more.

[@RiverCertified]

I get that. Hopefully you find some vacation time

[@tweek857]

Cory tips to catch more flathead. Don't steal Spencer's big bullhead

[@Fishingwithmayor]

Love your videos man" off and on through the years I've targeted big flatheads but fish for all species of fish. I've been fishing pretty heavy all my life most ky and Barkley lakes the Tennessee and cumberland River as well as other small lakes. Getting back into big cats pretty serious and stumbled acrossed your videos comparing tackle and have been enjoying your videos we do alot of things similar but I do alot of bank fishing and I fish for other species while I wait.. recently put about 75 skipjack in the freezer i do well on cut bait bait for big blues as well as flats still looking for a good bull head pond so every weekend I'm not working I'll be wetting hooks.. maybe if you're every on ky or Barkley well cross paths maybe get on some monsters... keep up the good work and keep living simple and to the fullest nothing like a good trip around the water...

[@dalehayslip5008]

Great video there always good when you show how much work you put in to catching them.

That last flathead was ugly with a capital U, lol. Must be a rough life under water glad I’m above it. Looks like you guys had an interesting dinner not sure about the combination but hey you eat what you have and I love catfish and especially LeAns chili so, why not? Great video as always.

[@stevehaug3603]

First time watching your channel and really enjoyed it since you don't take yourself too seriously. One question I do have though, why don't you set the set the hook when you get a bite instead of just backing up and hoping the fish hooks itself? To me it looks like a tug of war, you pulling on the bait and the fish holding onto the bait until the hook rips out, especially on the large fish.

[@sistaslab3159]

Awesome video

[@mauricenations7511]

I really like your adventures and your filming of some great fishing trips. Those were some great fish, too bad Corey lost his. I would have been upset also. Looked like they were some heavy fish. Enjoyed it man. Chili and fish looked good.
