Good job 👍👌 glad you all got the big blue cats

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

I definitely had a blast

[@derrickbailey-fl7nf]

Well done!! Caught some studs. Congrats on the win.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Thanks. They made me earn them

[@gregrandolph7601]

Man what a video!!! Kept me on the edge of my seat when you was trying to land them big fish in that little net...LOL!!! Awesome video brother but please get you a bigger net. Keep em coming pal, loved it.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

I just can’t keep a bigger net in the kayak. I normally don’t have that much trouble but the extra fast current made everything a challenge. I’ll have 2 a week for as long as I can get the content and I appreciate you watching

[@SizeMattersCatfishing]

We got rain, We got trains, We got big fish! That's right!! lol

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Then I took a nap during a tournament 😂

[@joerob3449]

Awesome video!! Take that net and throw it in the nearest dumpster and get a bigger one lol Why do you have to chase the fish all the way down through that pylons? Could you not just spot lock and drag the fish too you or to the edge of the river. Looked pretty sketchy doing that lol thanks for the videos

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

The current makes the fish pull way harder. If I try to spot lock on that fast flow it will just pull drag or pop my line. It’s honestly to fast to put a kayak up there but I push my luck because that’s where the fish are 😂

[@greatoutdoors3931]

Thanks for the video Ryan.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Thank you for taking time to watch.

[@riverlunacy]

Excellent 🦾

[@bigwrenchcatfishing9134]

Hell of a day I would say

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

I can’t help but wonder what it would have been if I could have gotten back above the bridge

[@BobcatOutdoors]

My Spot, man I leave for minute and you start poach'n my fish 🤣

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

😂 I just wanted to give em a hug 😂

[@jordanwalter2447]

One rod one reel catfishing

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

😂 it’s the most fun way to catch catfish.

[@kevinssilentfishing7292]

The one rod wonder

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

I like it 😂

[@trinityoutdoors]

I'm gonna spend 3 days on Nickajack next month. All I really know is the suck Creek area looking for a Mondo

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

There and the dam is all you need. One of the 2 is always my go to spots

[@trinityoutdoors]

@@ryanbortzbluecollarlife I really like that area

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

@trinityoutdoors it’s not let me down yet

[@travisfagan357]

Trust ur terminal tackle

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

You definitely have to in that much current. It puts a lot of stain on everything

[@Southwestcatfish]

Ok i have to say it your videos might be the best i have watched.Why because you struggle with shit.All these other guys seem to make everything look seemless and easy.When we all know it isnt

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

Wait till my next video 😂 title is “the reality of catfish” I try to show people that even guys with out there winning tournaments are out there struggling in all my videos. It ain’t all sun shine and big fish for anyone.

[@hubertanderson7044]

Needs a boat and a bigger net

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

😂 that would take all the fun out of it

[@pensnut08]

You definitely need a bigger net.

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

I agree but i don’t think I could hold it with one hand in that much current

[@derrickbailey-fl7nf]

@@ryanbortzbluecollarlife not to mention how precious space is in a kayak. Get ya a glove like your boy. JJ 😊

[@damonlegereit1247]

Get the fish to the boat before you try to net it

[@ryanbortzbluecollarlife]

That fast water makes everything harder
