THAT SUCKER GOT EATEN FAST!!!

[@frankiereliford4105]

Will you do a “10 biggest fish of the year” video eventually? All species included!

[@derekstine937]

Great idea lets see it Justin 👍

[@downonthehooch457]

i agree with these fellas. id click that in a heart-beat! but let em get through those fall monthes first though thats when the catfishing really rocks and those cats start gourging themselves!

[@haydenkrecek4157]

Heck yeah I agree

[@markbell4982]

Or maybe a "10 biggest baits of the year". 😉

[@ArtistMikael]

I need this

[@rondellschuyler7074]

Here I am watching you on my birthday 23rd September, and the day after my gallbladder removal surgery. Your videos are better than medicine. Thanks.

[@65FullMoon83]

Love the channel! Your energy & fire for the sport of Catfishing really comes through! 😊👍

[@coltonfishes]

I’d love to see you use livebaits more often!!

[@55azguy]

Thank you for the video and the shout out yesterday for our anniversary.

[@stephenw2391]

It cracks me up watching you catch these "dink" fish. The first one that ate the giant sucker in the beginning is still bigger than my PB lol. I love watching your channel!

[@samueljames9342]

Now why would anyone watch this video and click on the dislike button? It's a fishing channel, he's fishing and catching fish, catfish as expected, what more do you want? I guess you can't please everyone.

[@anthonyirwin2636]

Great video. As always. Love it when the rod tips are in the water!

[@mistertoad5286]

Your videos make me hungry. All I see are catfish fillets swimming away . . . Love the content! Thanks for what you do.

[@greglyons70]

I for one appreciate what you call "rambling on" is one thing i enjoy because that is when you give us the best advice on how you cattch all those beautiful kitties. is Appaloosa another name for flathead catfish because of their spotted tailfin area?

[@LeynnaCookingChannel]

You did a great job.

[@live2fish896]

Big bait challenge. Can we get you to go out with the biggest baits your comfortable using and drop em down ? 2 pound common carp.

[@MooseKnuckle8]

I've been waiting for this myself!!!!!

[@KayakCatfish]

I believe I can make that happen at some point soon. I just gotta get me some larger baits

[@daenyahngeerer7271]

@@KayakCatfish yes please! Here in arizona 1- 2 pound common carps are recommended for catching the flatheads out here.

@@KayakCatfish I will put my vote in for this

[@nathansumerlin8391]

I can’t believe you can run that many rods at once!

I like the way you think lol

I appreciate your videos Justin. They help me relax after a hard day's work. Plus I learn from every video.

[@jackashmore]

This just goes to show bait says doesn’t matter all that much after a certain size. But it did bum me out to see that sucker only bring up a dink.

[@DanielBoone337]

Cup of coffee and Kayak Catfish makes my 1st break at work just a little better... LOL Great video as always keepem coming brother!!!

[@eviltricster8090]

That ad placement around 20:00 was perfect. I dunno it that was you or KZbin but that was some TV quality kinda ad placement

[@fishybusiness-nj6617]

That didn't take any time at all. Love the action brother

[@darrellsmith5395]

Glad your ok!.

[@fishing_with_TR]

Man - happened to me to. I worked hard for some bait a couple weeks ago. I ended up with one nice small carp (11"ish) and a bunch of small threadfins. I was exited to use the carp live... then he got ate by a 8 - 10 pound blue cat. I don't know how that cat choked him down... I just knew he'd get a huge flathead ......

[@michaelsicowitz362]

That's something how they can take a big sucker like that. Up here you think musky when your sucker gets hammered. The only smallmouth on my wall came something like that. Just love your vids. I hope your amazing run of big fish continues, been fun to watch.

[@richardzacamy4605]

Your Videos Are Always Great

[@tclift1670]

You need to step it up to a 5 pound carp if blues like that one are going to take the suckers.

[@junelepley502]

That was fast

[@uriahtatman2407]

I wonder if your large flats seeming preference for cut bait is the fishery? Perhaps the big lazy fish follow the blues and feed on their easy to get scraps. Live bait here is as good or slightly better than good cut bait (like skippies) but there are very few blues where I'm at (never caught one close to the house) just a thought..... Cause our flatheads are not hardly active at all during the day either. Pretty much have to fish in the brush piles to catch one when the sun's out.

[@tonyjessen8204]

Thanks for sharing Justin 👍👍

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Justin, Slamming Big Catfish like you do. Suckers rule. Gollywoppers only . God bless

[@DavidWilliams-tr1yx]

I use alot of suckers and creek chub for bait. Work great for me, I bank fish.

[@russhayes4882]

Great time on the water !

[@timothyverdine6431]

I'm in Wisconsin where we don't have blue cats (although people will argue we do because of color phase channels). Do blues bite you as hard as channels? I find it so funny that flatties are so gentle compared to channels lol

[@matthewwilliams7735]

I catch nice catfish around the dams there in Hamilton in the great Miami.

Yep I've fish the great Miami many many times. I lived right there in Lebanon. Alot of places to fish around there. Tons of rivers and lakes. Love Ohio fishing.

[@larryoliver9915]

Nice fish today see you on the next video 👍👍👍👍

[@crappieslayer89]

I caught my very first muskie last night. It hit a live minnow just as dark was settling in. So around 845 is. I fought him for about 20 minutes and he spit my hook at me at the bank. 😢 I was so mad lol...I wanted a picture with it

[@joshuawaynemiller]

That is a big live bait for sure

[@flannel872]

How's the garden faring? I would imagine your sunflowers are about ready to harvest.

[@unorec1983]

What model of camera are you using for your chest cam. been looking for one when i take the boys fishing and figured the one you are using has to be good given the amount of fish you get

[@KayakCatfish]

I use Sony action cams. The as 15 and as 20 models

[@TylerGoesFishing]

So many great fish

[@jacobsellers844]

First flatty was on the sucker

[@robertwilliamson6958]

Would you do this type of fishing, main channel ledge stuff, in the Mississippi River? Where I’m at in Illinois, main channel ledge sounds like ‘barge channel’. Would you do it here too? Current is pretty steady most times too.

[@KayakCatfish]

If I could get out there safely, I would try it. Barge traffic and current flow might make it impossible or impractical though

[@allenbrown7127]

What kind of knot do you use to tie the hook on with??

[@geoffreythackeray6853]

What’s up Justin it’s Geoffrey Thackeray enjoyed your live cast what is the longest Blue Cat and Flathead you’ve ever caught I meant to ask that . Thanks for what you do Living the Dream Bro👍

[@KayakCatfish]

I only measure fish when competing in tournaments so my biggest fish of all time weren’t measured. The longest blue I measured was 50” and the longest flathead was 45”

[@geoffreythackeray6853]

Kayak Catfish That’s Some Nice ones There Justin. Just a Matter of Time before you catch that Beast of a Lifetime 👍

[@015Froggy]

What's the best line to use for flatheads??..each time I catch one my line snaps

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

I would recommend at least 35-45lb test. If you use braid you can go with 60-80lb test.

[@tomofwc]

Just fond your videos. Love watching them. Do you keep any of the catfish for dinner?

[@lakeerieprepper4073]

Can’t eat fish out of the Tennessee River. It’s contaminated.

We're can you get good baits without having to catch them? Quality baits are hard to find. The waters I fish. The fish are very picky.

Them damn channel “rats” will do the same thing with a good live bait too, damn little channel cats, I’ve had a lot of channels that’ll just crush a live bait and then spit it out, they can’t stand to something lively! Little bastards! Course I’ve had pretty good sized channels that would eat a little tiny bluegill or green sunfish, I’ve caught quite a few big channels on a little bait, like 3-4 inch bluegills, I’m talking 17,18,19 lb channels.
