19 Miles ALONE On The River!! (Kayak Fishing)

[@MarkFox]

My favorite KZbin fisherman by far! The likes are no screaming, you take your dogs with you and you target catfish. I also really enjoy that you reply to comments! Catfish Dave and so many others never reply to anyone's comments or questions so I don't watch them. I'm still hoping the best for Woody as a cancer patient myself and just hope he isn't in any kind of pain like myself. Your videos really help me get through my days.

[@billylusk3515]

Oh man, didnt hear about woody

[@nikeguthrie22]

My favorite as well. I also feel for woody. Fuck cancer. Many family members of my own canine and human alike have been affected. Sincerely my best wishes for you and yours Mark. Hang in there.

[@RiverCertified]

@MarkFox I do my best to reply to everyone man. We're at the vet for woody today. Still unsure what were gonna do. I hope for the best for you man!

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

You’ve got the catfish grand slam in your first new kayak trip! It looks very stable and has plenty of room for all the stuff we need for a two day fishing trip. I’d really like to see more videos like this, I really enjoy it. Thanks as always, Spencer!

[@RiverCertified]

I'm hoping to do a 2 nighter in a few weeks as long as Mother Nature cooperates a little. I'm trying not to get too excited just incase she doesn't haha. Thanks for watching man!

Hey you never said what river I were in​@@RiverCertified

[@Mybeardog]

Peace and quiet, always enjoyed time alone on the river 👍 Thanks again brother

[@RiverCertified]

That definitely makes two of us. I appreciate ya man.

[@daniels4227]

Thanks for taking me along with you, Spencer!! I'm glad the pics of Mr Ugly face i emailed you came through last week. Great video as always, pal!

[@RiverCertified]

You bet man. That was a great fish. Hopefully you find another just like him.

[@markbartolowits5354]

Thanks!

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you Mark! Super generous of you!

[@adamteague5053]

I love how a blue cat just smokes a bait lol. If you’ve ever seen a grizzly eat blue berries, the blue cats remind me of that. Bears eat blueberries like they are mad at them lol. I envision a blue cat just all mean mugging a bait then BAMMMM lol

[@pabllam8017]

I got a little scared during the storm. So glad to see you take cover off the water. Staying safe is job one. It was a fishing trip and an adventure too. Thank you. Stay safe.

[@RiverCertified]

Yeah I don't care for storms much on the water. Probably my number one fear out there. It's part of the adventure, but easily my least favorite part.

[@pabllam8017]

Wanted to ask....Why do you place poles out the front and not to the side when it looks hard to push forward then back to bring in fish. Could this method work for me from the bank? And great views from drone.

Can't wait to see some videos once you get the entire kayak setup to your likings. It's always nice when everything is just like a well oiled machine when fishing from a kayak.

What a trip man, I just got back from a long one myself chasing trout in the high country. We did pretty good overall, no storms and scored a mild sunburn. Still can't find cats in this blasted state!

[@rodneyfalk4591]

I seen that one jump that was cool. Good job Spencer.!!🎣🐟🐠

I traded my frontier 12 in this spring for an unlimited. My setup is pretty nasty now Spencer. That kayak is awesome man. You’re gonna love it. Great video by the way. 💪🏼

[@RiverCertified]

I think they're definitely an upgrade from the Frontier. The in hull storage was kinda nice, but the drainage and rigidity of the deck is absolutely awesome on the Unlimited. Really looking to put it to the test on big water in a week or so.

[@ryanharrod1155]

[@royschlickeisen2539]

Glad you enjoyed it Roy

[@fishingnightnday]

Your old frontier actually led me to my Ultimate. When I saw your teaser on IG (maybe?) I was excited. I got the gear box up front for the storage, but also the track for my forward camera. I am also thinking of doing the fish finder there. Battery storage etc. One of these days that work allows me back on the water.

[@RiverCertified]

They're tough to beat, especially if you don't have a big boat. Now that I don't have a jet, it's perfect for the river trips. Hope you find time to get on the water man.

[@zachturner3443]

Awesome video man 🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🎣🎣🎣

[@MlLk-Man]

My commute to work is 2 hours long, love to set the phone up for the long videos

[@want2boutdoors274]

That nue canoe definitely looks very sturdy. I've been doing a lot if research on those ones, and being a 300lb feller, I need something that can haul a load 😂 . Great video Spencer, and you did look more comfortable in the new kayak. How often do you get dropped off and picked up down river, after your adventures? That was always my concern when I get a kayak. The tranquility when you're alone on the river is by far the best therapy. Having the issues I have, from the military it's the best therapy one could ever get.

[@violentdawg]

Hell yea nice kayak! I ended up grabbing the Oldtown Sportsman pdl 120 instead of the Precision outlaw because it popped up on sale for nearly the same price as the outlaw! However I will say, the sportsman 120 is 85lbs EMPTY and that's a task for a guy that's my size (I always use the seat in the low position if that says anything) 😂

[@richardcleary7861]

I never tie onto the spook float. I just weave my lie through the eyelets. The drag of the line is enough to keep it in place with my 50lb mono.

[@kellyhill4410]

Thanks for the video brother. 🤜🌟🤛🐬🐠🐬

[@geoffbohartfishing]

Jackie Chan 😂 I been waiting for you to use it! Very glad your first cat in the new yak was a CHAN! I’m going out tomorrow in the yak hoping to get a big ugly one!

[@geoffbohartfishing]

@@RiverCertified I found them! Lost a real nice one, but I’m going back for round 2 tonight! I dropped down to medium action rods for the kayak trips so they all feel like giants.

Kinda looks like some of the spots around the meramac river,down south of st,louis.its a pretty good place to fish,never know what u will catch.anything from wipers,walters,the venerable drumfish or any 3 of the catfishishes species,plus all the carps an gars.my buddies 2 boys just caught a 25 lb big ugly on their last camping/fishin trip before they headed back to school.

[@KennethGong-s2t]

Congrats on the catfish trifecta! In regards to beef options, have you had tri tip? It has become my favorite cut for the grill, and it’s best the way you like to eat meat - med rare and juicy! You need to put some salt in your general kitchen supplies, and resting it 10 minutes goes a long way.

[@DOGDAY_GT]

Hell yeah back on the yak on the river

[@fotosfishing]

Awesome video as usual. Keep them coming. The clamp you use to tie off the kayak to the wood plies, What brand or style is it. looking for a good one for my kayak adventures.

[@scottsellers9039]

I purchased a kayak a little while back to fish my local river. We have chanel cat and flat head, but I've yet to catch a flat head. The gar seem to find live bait almost immediately, kill, and mutilate it! I've had better l luck lately catching chanel cat close to the banks just a little over a foot deep. Yesterday I had one jump like a bass and spit the hook. I've never seen a catfish jump like that before, and here you had a jumper!

Ever tried one of the folding kayaks? Any objections to pedal drives?

[@RiverCertified]

I like to minimize moving parts as much as possible. Fewer things to break. Plus I don't find it any easier to peddle up river than it is to paddle upriver. Also, the peddle drive makes boat positioning problematic in current.
