Thank you for allowing us people who can’t go fishing because of hardship to live vicariously through you. For a brief moment in time I can experience what it’s like to drop a line in the water before returning to the every day rat race

It's my pleasure. Honestly it blows me away people enjoy watching it. Thank you for taking the time.

Great video. Enjoyed it. That is a sweet setup of boat. Thanks for the camping/cooking footage too. Fish on Spencer! "Catch a giant"

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dlmsarge8329]

Just subscribed!! Really one of the most chilled out relaxing fishing videos I've seen in a long time, very enjoyable. I kayak fish in Ontario, Canada 5 or 6 day's a week during the season (Lake Trout, walleye, pike, bass). I'm surprised at the number of rods allowed there, here we can only put one line out (2 on some areas of the great lakes). Anyway keep up the excellent work!

[@pabllam8017]

Thanks for the trip. Going fishing is the thing, if you catch a fish it's bonus. Great fun. Stay safe.

I have to agree. Thanks a ton for always watching.

Holy smokes great video! That boat! I mean.. I’ve seen the walk through and several good vids of you out, but it just really shows all the awesomeness, right when you woke up and looked out. Frame worthy haha If you catch this, and don’t mind.. what is the name brand of that incredibly, comfortable looking chair left of the tent? Thanks for taking us along!!

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate all that man. The chair is a bass pro turkey chair. They work great as a camp chair too.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

It's been windy as hell here out west man, makes any type of fishing nearly impossible with these 40-60mph gusts. You totally needed Woody there to keep warm over night!

[@RiverCertified]

I'm not a fan of wind either. Makes everything more difficult. I thought about taking him, but I didn't want him to be cold too haha

Bro!!! I went out tonight for the first trip this year and just caught a little flatty at the first spot! Maybe 5 pounds but still a fish nonetheless! I'm stoked!!!

[@blue.cord.actual8698]

Thank you RC

[@RiverCertified]

Thank you for watching!

[@captainquint]

I'm curious what kind of water discharge that is. Storm? Industrial? Field tile? One of my best shad spots was a storm water discharge that also had warm industrial cooling water. They'd stack so deep in there in the spring and fall that you could scoop nets full.

[@keiferhare7303]

man.. i live in iowa and when you popped out that tent i was like there aint no way he did that. sure enough you say that was the coldest camp you ever experienced lol. now i have no excuse

Man I’ve been binge watching your videos lately. Consistently great content! Got me motivated to chase some flatheads in the trinity this summer here in Dallas. I wanted to mention that some of your links aren’t working anymore or are just not available anymore. Also do you have a rigging video? I can’t catch your rigs up close I’m trying to see how you do your weights lol

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate ya letting me know man. Ironically I was fishing the trinity today. The flatheads are definitely biting.

[@klparker14253]

Love your show. Appreciate your time and content. What size and model is your boat?

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

You should swagger on up to Utah and i'll show you around the giant mud puddle we call "utah lake" there are some decent sized kitties in there. Some bass to use as bait, maybe some carp, chicks dig the carp!

Bass as bait? I'd love to see some of that footage. 👍🏾💯

Water just reached the mid 50s and the river has been on the rise due to recent rains. I appreciate you taking the time to answer that means a lot. Stay safe out there and keep those lines tight!

Man, that thermos/French press rig looks like the giggity! I use a little glass press and it works great, but I like the idea of being able to heat the thermos and press all in one little deal!

[@TopWaterLord]

Custom rods he built

[@timothymilam732]

Remove the cheddar cheese, add onions, jalapenos, crumbled bacon, when done. Add salsa verdie, parmesan cheese, red pepper fkakes, and then tortillas. Now you have real breakfast tacos, when you boil your coffee, sprinkle a little salt, and after it just starts to boil, then press it. Now your coffer grounds are settled ready to drink. Tortillas it as described some time, and let me know what you think. Personal favorite any meal, I think you'll find it to your since your a fan of more than temperature heat I've noticed. Nice kitty kats, and I think you have the answer for the moment, but tomorrow never gets here, because by the time it gets here. It's officially today, so things changed in between today and tomorrow, so back to the hunt for today's key to solving the issue all over again. Be safe stay warm

I just broke a fish off today ironically. I wouldn't use anything you can't break when you're snagged. I use mainly 60 and 80 for leader. Today's fish broke 60.
