I haven't had the opportunity to reply to everyone who was nice enough to comment on my videos and I apologize. I'm getting ready to fish a tournament tomorrow, and I've spent all my extra time try my best to put together a winning pattern. Hopefully I can make you all proud. Things should slow down next week once I get it all edited up. I appreciate all the support. It seriously means a ton!

[@troy1594]

You have always communicated with your viewers. Ones that can support financially or ones who can't. If dosen't matter you connected with us all and that my friend is invaluable. BTW When do you see our comments?

[@mattthorp9943]

Good luck tomorrow. I'm also going to be hitting the water at some old stomping grounds, but first time targeting trout there. Tight lines, and as a great fishermen once said, "Hope you catch a giant." 🎣🤙

[@troutheadadventures6521]

As a Bass and Salmon guy from the PNW, my favorite utube folks are River Certified (got the shirt) and Outside with Tom. Mellow, calm Iowa guys, who I really wish would come to the Columbia River for White Sturgeon. We have 100 pounders.

[@MrCaissed]

The boat looks great and sounds like your engine has some power!! Happy new year Spencer..

[@casewojo6186]

You rock man. Fishing here in Michigan is dead on lake st Clair so you give me my fix of scales and water ❤️

[@jacobblankenbeckley445]

Like you said elephants do eat peanuts, my biggest cat ever came off a quarter sized piece of creek chub

[@rogernull6151]

I got home from work. All tired-out. I see a Spencer video. I grab a beer. All is right with the world!

[@MalkavianC]

I appreciate the tone in "Is that a pallid???" a whole bunch; even seeing an endangered species is always a wild time, much less catching one

[@kellyhill4410]

Sleeping on an open boat in the winter. You got cojones Bro. 🤜🌟🤛🐟🐟🐟

[@stevedingman474]

Nice fish ! A good trip . You know a Mr . Heater in the boat stored away would make a night spent in the boat a toasty trip . I love mine but I have a few years on and enjoy the warm on a chilly night in the boat .

[@ronaldgoodrich5460]

One of the fun things about river fishing with cut bait. You never know whats going to bite.

[@georgehutcheson9679]

I remember those long night on the water of my younger day's and it takes a toughness that most men dont have. Both cat fishing all night in freezing temps & night time bass tournaments can be brutality on the mind, body and soul. But i would not do it any differently if i had the chance to do it all again. Thanks Certified you fit the category that i mentioned.🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸👍

[@PantzShidded]

Drove past Daves the other day and saw the old jet drive sitting on the lot..... Almost pulled in to pay my respects😂

[@TheDetroitman20]

Nice little surprise. Should try jalapeño mustard. It's really good. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Catching sturgeon are always a treat. I've always wanted to go up to the Columbia River and the Snake River in Hells Canyon to chase monsters.

[@ricksimon277]

I wasn't expecting that sturgeon. My son caught a Lake Sturgeon a few years ago. It looked like that sturgeon that you caught was a little whiter in color. Very nice catch along with the cat.

[@user-ej1xb8fi5v]

I liked your camping.🏕️ I enjoy camping in Japan, too.🇯🇵 Your video gave me a hint! I appreciate splendid camping.☺️

[@Wienerschnitzel267]

I love your vids, theres nothing else like them on KZbin.

[@wtwoods6687]

I learn something every time I watch your videos.

[@Retiredcop052]

Hey Spencer ……. Went out tonight fishing and nada. I’m done until March. I Enjoyed your video……. Keep them coming! Dan

[@jeffbelcher4646]

Always a great trip fishin with ya Spencer. Thanks for sharing your trips with us

[@williambenner701]

That sturgeon was a nice surprise! Very cool video!

[@michaelmosley254]

They stocked sturgeon here in tn on the tn river they are some cool fish they are pretty to see in the evening when they come up out of the water.great video

[@217rebeloutdoors5]

Awesome video Spencer good luck in the tournament keep it up and keep those lines tight my friend

[@kerrys8024]

I fish the Missouri River in ND there are lots of them sturgeon’s here , the get huge.

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

Don’t forget the tent again man, specially on winter time. Funny adventure, always!

[@RIVERRATEXCURSIONS]

Good to see you out. The kids and I have been at it all day but nothing yet. Started at a power plant lake now finishing it up on the Illinois river. We've been throwing small suckered chunks and filets.

[@frankribble4367]

I worry more about catching big bait, than big Catfish. Lol. PB Flathead 33 LBs in Michigan. Hoping to catch a 40+ this year. A Sturgeon would be a helluva bonus!

[@chadwright7614]

Summer will be here b4 ya know it . I'm excited for fishing this yr

[@jimharbison7589]

Another great video, the sturgeon was a surprise, thanks for the ride Spencer

[@rubbabubba6489]

Some real nice fish there. The sturgeon was cool, we have Atlantic and Lake varieties around here. We don't have big cats (channels) but we do have a good Striper run. Got a 40 pounder one year on a little piece of frozen Herring, so you never know. Love your videos, they make the viewer feel like they're there. Gets me through many boring days at work.

[@bleed_from_within_is_life9960]

I was watching one of your videos from a year ago the night before last and about halfway through it I was told my great grandpa had died He's the 3rd great grandparent I've lost in the last month

[@behave7583]

Sturgeon is my favorite fish to go after (i always do catch and release) when they reach 50-60 Kg and upwards its like hooking a small car 🤘

[@catchnamericawithjc7337]

Nothing beats a sleeping Spencer. Sharp hooks to ya.

[@trev_fishing749]

Congrats on that sturgeon! What a crazy looking fish, hope they can figure out a way to stick around

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

What a cool fish to catch brother, good luck with the tournament

[@noyopacific]

Interesting catch ! Thanks for not showing your efforts at untangling the rat's nest. While it can be a fascinating puzzle to untangle fishing lines it isn't something that one should share in a video. 😜 Thanks for the video Spencer!

[@CaptainKenFishing]

Love your demeanor in your videos man. Keep em coming!!! 💪🏻 😎

[@alexrawleigh3167]

Spencer I am almost afraid to ask but here goes.....is Woody OK? Havent seen him in awhile. Hope he is OK. Love your new boat. I saw you in Gintersville while I was crappie fishing but didn't want to bother you. You were set up on the street bluffs when I saw you. Great video.

[@RicardoHaruoIriguti]

Yeah, we’re missing Woody.

[@MTM3381]

Thank you so much for the great entertainment Spencer.

[@donniegrover5442]

Awesome catches! Great video!

[@TheJaymon1962]

Awesomeness, Spencer. I love surprises

Pallid sturgeon. Pretty down these days. Good catch!!!

[@patriciapowell3824]

Another great video. Appreciate you taking the time to video all these trips. I sure enjoy watching . Only problem they're not long enough. By the way, did you get that massive knot straightened out? Stay safe and God bless you and yours 😊😊

[@riverrat988]

[@kyleybare9262]

impressive tangle nice fish too 😂

[@timothymilam732]

Luck Nice rig Once had skeeter bass boat first and only new one i bought, 1985 with Sazuki first manufacturer to come out with oil tank so didn't have to mix gas n oil. Ran good enough to make it tail walk on flat water when runnin WFO. Later on that feature of mixing fuel n oil bite me on my ranger classic with merc hi out put 175 with custom SS prop hydraulic 12" jack plate. Was out catching on Ray Roberts one mornin that I played hooky from work, but I'd been hitting hard doin the 7-12's for few months straight, but job was bout done, and being superintendent has it's advantages as well as disadvantages. Anyways running up on the last couple ft of the hull old Mercury's use to have a 😮sweet sound to them when it's quiet ripping across the water especially when the exhaust is gutted nice ported heads new reeds valves Until it suddenly didn't, she shut down so hard after just getting up on pad, that tidal wave nearly come over the Mercury cowling. Definitely washed back deck right into my seat before I could even think of standing up to keep my ass dry. 3" piece of 3/8" clear tubing from the oil pump supply line to the tee that feeds the 6 carbs pulled off the fitting on the oil pump. So it was running for 30 seconds on straight super unleaded gas due to oil squirting freely soaking the insulation under the cowling and leaving a pretty rainbow of colors from the motor on the surface of the glass smooth lake. Nearly seven miles on trolling motor several nice bass, and seen bald eagle dive off big ole dead cotton wood, and glide down almost skimming the water with his talons then just barely caused water to spray off of them as he snatched a 3 lb bass from the lake. Flapped his wings few times, and was almost back in the same tree he'd just left. Fish must get paralyzed by talons, because I know it was alive when it started ripping hunks of meat off its head next to the gills, but it never moved oncs it cleared the water that I seen Finally someone came by me, and I waved him down for a tow back to truck. Trashed 5 cylinders burnt 4 pistons, and sized rings on last two pistons, and it locked up before last two cylinders got totally trashed. Two months later, with bigger cylinders better pistons rings more porting and polishing, insurance company less couple grand 79 mph give or take be more likely since it was according to old water pressure speedometer, but definitely faster than before. Mix my own oil and gas to this day, because I pull out the oil tank alarms oil pumps on any boat I've bought since that happened

[@TNRVG]

Sturgeon are cool! I've only caught one and it was on purpose. My wildlife agency told me not to do that again and gave me a certificate for catching it. At least it wasn't a fine.

[@billcotton1551]

Hi Spencer ,I saw on my phone that a kid caught a lake record blue somewhere in the south. Think it was an 86Lb.

[@robertgildea2841]

I am watching from Elmira NY if you are winter camping and fishing out a small wood heater on your boat

[@pauldockins9635]

Nice stay safe

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun, big cats, cook out, does it get any better?👍

[@calebpartenheimer7636]

Have you ever had a conservation officer give you a hard time when leaving your Fishing Rods unattended? I'm only asking because if I'm reading correctly, here in Illinois, it's illegal. (Not sure why, doesn't seem any different than putting them on a stringer in the water.) Glad I know that now. I have decided to grab something to eat and sit in my car for a bit but left the poles in the water in case something hit them during that time.

[@jamesscott684]

HeeeeeeyyyyyyyyBauer!!! 👑🎣👑🎣👍🏾💯🎇❤️

[@jeremystanton382]

I would never be able to use a cutting board like that, I'd lose it in a week, that's about how long I can keep a knife before losing it. Maybe if I didn't tether the knife to it I'd be alright. 7:08

[@erichanson7261]

Sooooooo did you get the knot out? Cool looking fish!

[@kennethmcdonald3889]

Im glad you know to eat it rare slash close to raw but use a good filet knife to get that silver skin off

[@micheledavis7591]

Those look like hot dogs or cheddarwurst, But I'm from Wisconsin and never saw a brat that looked like that. Maybe people in different locations have a different idea of what a bratwurst is. They are natural casing here and are gray before they are cooked. They brown on the grill or in the pan.

[@chrismatsko6601]

First spot on maiden voyage is good sign.

[@stevebishop9928]

How many poles can you ues? In Oregon where I live, 2 is the max, and you have to pay an additional fee. then in only certain areas, mostly lakes.

[@dougshelby939]

Cool video as usual dude. Man you must have either Eskimo or maybe either penguin or polar bear in your blood to be camping in the cold like that.. voluntarily at least... Great job man, cya!

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it. I actually don't like cold weather much, I just am fortunate to have some really good cold weather clothes. It helps a ton.

[@xerocoul]

Wait wait wait....I saw you warm up 6 brats but you only ate one. A little camera trickery? 😂

[@darrickgoodrich2169]

Come to the northeast Susquehanna

[@mitchgleason7242]

Ever caught an American eel before? I caught one in a small river/big creek in C. Illinois 2 summers ago. That slimy lady traveled 6000mi up river to see my ugly mug just to travel 6000mi back down to breed and die.

[@mattstephens8887]

“They are warm. AND STUFF” I’m blaming the sturgeon for that homage to Josh….

[@rooterdaddy6889]

Where' Skip? You need him for your "maiden" voyage.
