[@davidsettle8456]

Kentucky here

[@jamescardwell3254]

A gollywhopper right out of the gate, and a nice fun sizer and a bonus quality blue on the fly. Another great trip in the books thanks for taking us along on the adventure with you.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks James!

[@terrencebuller7676]

Nice big blue Justin, what a tank. 🤜🤛

[@marvinmanson5773]

That first one was a giant...Great catch...😎⚡⚡⚡

[@user-wd9jg5fi3m]

Dang Justin big ol blue you always get em

[@davidmohr1063]

Nice golly whopper and bonus fish. Stay warm

[@CaptainKenFishing]

Nice vid! The fish at the 11:29 mark looks like his tail was broke!

[@TheGmAnN83]

I thought the same thing. I bet that is why the fight was so weak for the size of the fish.

[@rogerwilliams3097]

Way to go to catch another Whopper catfish Justin😊

[@dannywatson3213]

Couple nice blues there. I'd love to catch one like that. I really enjoy you videos.

[@ralphempson2719]

I also love your characteur!!!! Thanks so much for putting it out there for us. Please stay safe out there.

[@c.j.cooper8659]

[@johnkennedy6557]

Great video really enjoy watching you fish

[@penny-n-kentucky447]

Nice fish!!!

[@Roberts810]

Im gonna have to try out the fly deal. If nothing else may save on some bait. Call them in with the cut bait and then they hit the fly.

[@markdilla7998]

Love these videos

[@paulmaul2186]

That is EPIC

[@pigsandapples]

Great work man! Enjoying your content as always.

[@Matthew-qk1xi]

Watching at work machining aerospace parts, fishing on the water with Justin from Kayak catfish! Thanks brother, I'll be out on the water for real this weekend. Some hogs last couple trips nice!

[@KayakCatfish]

Good luck this weekend!

[@nikkihayes9236]

You know, I don't think I've ever NOT been one of the 3 left....😂❤

[@oblio10]

Glad I watched to the end! Good fish 👏🏼

[@charlesjohnson166]

Fist pump worthy for sure.wow

[@blackslacks639]

You are awesome. I would like to see a video of the advantages of a kayak over a more traditional platform. Thanks .

[@KayakCatfish]

I use a kayak because it’s more fun but there are far more advantages to fishing from a boat.

[@duanemitchell4598]

Looking at the comments, this is why you da Catfisherman. Hope to see some golly whoppers. Keep them rods bent and be safe. *Side note* Daphne still to dang fast for them Ebikes.

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Nice bonus fog👍🎣

[@skyxagonyxd6985]

Thank you for another great video Justin!

[@johnhoffman8545]

Now that's a dandy 👍

[@michaelmello9510]

Nice fish 🤙

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Well Done Justin.

[@ronwelch6548]

That was a beautiful sunrise. I bet that whopper you caught has to weight 60lbs. Damn budwhat a fish. About the same as the show before with those hogs, wow.

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Ron!

[@wakingforbacon6439]

Takes alot of fish to be a 60. Beautiful fish though.

[@Smkywtr]

The ole golly whopper is just golly whoopin em

[@RUGER7750]

A bonus fish is a bonus fish. LOL

[@quentinsalters9132]

There is nothing like watching you pull up some hawgssss this time of year. ALSO, I wish I had your push notification on for instagram bc I just realized I missed out on seeing you in Columbus a few weeks back :(( notifications are on now. Hopefully I’ll catch you up here some time in the future!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Quentin! Hopefully I’ll be back up there again sometime.

[@danielviens1687]

Another Golly Whopper, NICE!!!!

[@markstacystacy8320]

Nice one...love your stuff...don't know if you will care but I would love to see you weigh some of your bigger fish..on screen weights.

[@charlesseward5462]

Thanks!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thank you Charles! I really appreciate your continued support. It means a lot.

[@mylyloy]

Fantastic!! Love it!

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Lynn!

[@Retiredcop052]

Enjoyed the video!! Thanks again ! Dan

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Dan!

[@paylakehater4414]

GREAT VIDEO!! What a GREAT Golly Whopper on that first fish but really all four were worth catching. I caught my first fish on a fly yesterday in the Ohio river and my fly was about 12 inches from my bait, Was wondering if you have experimented with lengths? Thanks for the video!!

[@KayakCatfish]

I tried running them farther away from the bait but I noticed the fly tended to get tangled in my sinker on the way down more frequently. The shorter the distance between the fly and the bait, the less often that seems to happen.

[@markreeves2491]

A bonus fish is always welcome regardless of what trip it was caught ! 👍👍 Do you plan on having any garden videos this year ? 🤔

[@KayakCatfish]

I will probably do some garden updates on my channel member videos. They didn’t do well when I posted them either my regular videos a couple years ago

[@keithdocreed]

Heck yeah what a blue

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Keith!

[@jonhenke1504]

Are those huge blue cats any good to eat?? Don't know I'm just asking because I've heard big fish are no good and I've heard big fish are great for eating.

[@andybass2045]

Hello Justin good to see you again

[@KayakCatfish]

Thanks Andy!

[@illmatic826]

Let’s get busy!!

[@daveroseman1185]

Nice blue. Note: Fish can’t read maps🎊

[@trumpfan4937]

What kind of reels do you use Justin? I’ve been subbed for forever & if you ever said I e missed it somehow

[@KayakCatfish]

Shimano Tekota. All my gear is listed in the video description

[@amigosdepescaria7068]

Pescaria top irmão

[@AlleyCatPro2023]

Can that XI3 handle any current or if tva is pushing water hard, is it too bad to get in?

[@KayakCatfish]

Depends on the current flow. The motor moves my kayak around 4.5mph at top speed in slack water.

[@tommycarroll4431]

What a giant 😮

[@scottgilmore6685]

Question for you. How do you support your rod holders and what do you use? I have a Pond Prowler and want to support them properly. Thanks

[@KayakCatfish]

The plastic on my kayak is thick so I’m able to secure my rod holder bases with bolts and washers. If it was thinner plastic, I would use a backing plate.

[@scottgilmore6685]

Thank you. I really enjoy the content@@KayakCatfish

[@davidsettle8456]

Whats your budget rod and reel friendly gear

[@KayakCatfish]

I have a lot of older videos using cheaper gear. Check out my gear playlist

[@ashertalbot2956]

What’s the status on your trolling motor Justin?

[@KayakCatfish]

I got a new one

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Dang!!! Head bait looks to be altered on the hook.

[@tukamaruetensi3952]

2nd fish i think has had experience in the past with fishers catching and releaseing it 1 ......assumeing that the fish is intelegent to know from past experiences its dealing with a fisher they probly stop fighting to get it over with......if you watch him he was watching for when you was ready to remove the hook out of his mouth and opened up for you and the lack of fight as well makes me think he might have had past experiences

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

What happened to your motor Justin?

[@KayakCatfish]

It crapped out

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

@@KayakCatfish dang man! Hope it’s still under warranty! Just bought a saltwater motorguide xi3 pinpoint gps and they are not cheap!

[@tobysmith8727]

What do you think the biggest Blue is out there? How big do those get?

[@KayakCatfish]

I think the world record is around 140lbs

[@williammorris1507]

💯❤️

[@ryanfoutch2481]

What is the name of the fish you use as bait

[@cody0010]

Those are skipjack.

[@user-fo6xt9ij8p]

Do you set you drag so high with such confidence because your line is so strong or what? Just curious. I’m going to have to fight these fish a lottt longer than you sadly lol

[@KayakCatfish]

I use 40lb line. The drag is set appropriately for it. I never break off.

[@terrythompson3504]

LOVE ❤ YOUR VIDEOS. WHAT LAKE ARE YOU ON

[@KayakCatfish]

This trip was on Watts Bar

[@jimkindle3563]

💪👊👍

[@tobysmith8727]

How.much bigger can they get

[@zachjensen3182]

Which kayak is this?

[@KayakCatfish]

Old town Big Water 132 kayak

[@normanburns-ko4ro]

Do you ever sell any catfish?

[@KayakCatfish]

No

[@Marioguajardo3167]

No free meals today

[@jameslehman2059]

All I can say is wow bud, that’s a fatty. I can’t wait to get back on the water

[@Marioguajardo3167]

Double fist pump worthy!!!!✊

[@gobigorange771]

Wow.. what a slob!! Seeing that monster made me wonder what my ex wife is doing.
