THIS IS WHY You Should Fish During HIGH WATER!! (Tons of Action)

[@grenadelaunchin3631]

Dude its so nice to come home an have a new video to watch after workin my ass off all day, Appreciate you spense

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad ya dig the videos man. Hopefully you have a good rest of your evening man!

[@pabllam8017]

Fun trip. I am happy no matter what takes the bait. Both you guys are great to be around. Thanks for taking us along. Stay safe.

[@patriciapowell3824]

Happy to see you guys having such a good time. It was a mixed bag indeed. Always happy to watch you fish. Stay safe and God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊

[@RiverCertified]

I really appreciate that. I love trips like that where you catch a little bit of everything. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

[@carterbenson5615]

I wish Wisconsin had better bait laws, it’s hard to be a flathead fisherman up here but that’s why I love doing it, not many other people do it.

[@RiverCertified]

I get that. Definitely more expensive being a flathead fisherman up there too.

[@TheDetroitman20]

Where you at? I'm in Beaver Dam. We only have channels. I wanna go up by OshKosh for flatheads.

Multi species, strong current and light tackle, it couldn’t be better, guys! Spencer, you said “he’s ours” just like Smeagle lol. Thanks for sharing!

It's definitely my idea of a good time. Smeagle liked to eat fish, so we also have that in common. I think Skip is a whole lot like Smeagle haha

Hello Mr Spencer just wanted to tell you I really enjoyed the video looks like the fishing is kind of tough and the water being high like it is but I still enjoy it man I think you have some fantastic videos really makes the old man's day so again I appreciate them my wife has cancer set these videos helps me get my mind off of things so we can I really appreciate them my friend until next time take care and be careful out there on the water I can't keep on your next video your friend Billy Simmons. Please overlook by Miss wording my eyes are really bad it is hard to see sometimes I want to say I'm sorry for such a long comment but sometimes it helps me just to talk to someone I appreciate your time again take care and I'll chat with you on your next video

[@chrismcvey908]

Great multispecies outing! Flatheads are spawning here too. Haven’t caught one in my last 4 outings. I wish we had high water here. It definitely gets the fish moving and feeding. Hope all is well Spence..

[@RiverCertified]

Glad ya enjoyed it. It was a fun change of pace. I did luck onto a good one this morning after fishing all night without a bite. Flatheads are weird.

[@pstonedawg9576]

Awesome Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟 tight lines !!

Appreciate it man! Same to you!

[@belacp923]

Nice seeing you and Ryan again! Some Stache dude in NE is probably proud of that drum-bud even if it wasn’t on a jighead crawler. Did Skip get ahold of a wire in his lair?

[@FrozenToast396]

Great Video as always! Might wanna take a look at that red wire at 20:00 right above Skip.

[@RiverCertified]

Its been been fixed. Skip and I aren't on speaking terms right now haha

[@mattbombertv4326]

Been recently trying to catch my first flathead after 7 years (i was 14) and its been a pain in the ass. Hella tackle invested in, New line, reels, rods etc... I just think where i live i kinda got very unlucky for the fishing. Gotta drive at least 30 mins for good areas

[@RiverCertified]

I know that feeling. I drive 1-2 hours pretty routinely to find the best bite. Keep after em man. I'm cheering for ya.

[@zachturner3443]

Awesome video man 🔥🔥🎣🎣

[@jaycepotter2125]

Need to take a trip out here to the west coast and fish for sturgeon in the Columbia! It’ll be the most fun you’ve ever had! 👊🏻

[@RiverCertified]

I've thought about it. It's just hard for me to get away from the catfish.

[@jaycepotter2125]

@@RiverCertified trust me bud! Plan a trip end of June or anytime in July. You’ll catch 50 sturgeon that are 5+ feet long. Your arms and back will be so sore you won’t want to catch anymore. lol. And the way these sturgeon fight fresh out of the ocean is unbelievable. Definitely worth the trip!

[@egregiousblunder5395]

It appears that we have similar bait issues, the res I fish most has a ton of them, and I see them on the surface in schools, but.... we can't throw nets there. Looks like ole Skip got him a mohawk hair cut and he sure seem to like watching that cast net, seeing if you are bringing up any snacks lol

[@censoredaccess7429]

Waiting to clock into work, your right on time 🙏

[@RiverCertified]

Hell yeah man. Hope it's a good day.

[@northeastfisherman3277]

Great video. Maybe I missed a video but what happened with you and whisker seeker rods?

[@dakotahorn9358]

Have you ever fished the Wapsipinicon or the Maquoketa River ? Both eventually enter the Mississippi River and large fish do venture up these tributaries.....

[@RiverCertified]

Yessir. Should fish them more.

[@dakotahorn9358]

@@RiverCertified I live in western Clinton County , a town called Toronto . Where the Wapsi joins the Mississippi is a great place to latch onto a big Cat. We had an older gent here in town that would catch these big ol Flatheads and put them in a kiddy pool for the afternoon so the schoolkids could see them and then he would let them go down in the Campground boat landing . Walnut Grove is the name of the Campground . The Wapsi floods alot and the bed is pretty sandy here , it changes alot . I am old now and no longer know the river but I would have had a blast taking you out when I was a younger man. There are some huge Flatheads in the Wapsi , I have had many straighten my hooks and through the whole kit and kaboodle right back in my face .....some appeared 15 " across the eyes....

[@St.Aelred]

Skip would make a great surface lure. Put a stinger with a treble on his tail, and you're set.

[@RiverCertified]

Agreed. Those long legs of his remind me of a creature bait hahaha

[@troyvaughn6060]

Do you ever catch and cook the striped ones the only fish that they were eaten other than store-bought are blue cats channels I’ve never had a flat and of course bluegill good eating

[@want2boutdoors274]

It's funny, to me, when Ryan sets a hook. He is so short that he raises the pole over his head while reeling 😂😂😂.

[@RiverCertified]

It's an effective strategy haha

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Self inflicted pain. Man i get that. Seen guys skaying wipers on chicken liver on Thomas hill reservoir. Something about what they feed em when they're young in the hatchery. We always trolled for em or live bait em. They out the liver in panty hose bags. Just thought. Channels are biting good down here. Hit or miss on the flatties. Should be turning on in couple weeks. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾

[@jaydenwilliams3633]

What brand cast net would you recommend

[@RiverCertified]

I like several. Fishing fuel, bait buster, and joy fish are all good.

[@RiverRatCatfishing1]

Is that AT or AT2 you're using? I'm going to get the AT2, but there are a LOT of AT for sale cheap

It's the AT2. Haven't used the first version so I'm not sure how they compare.

[@jaimee-hernandez2847]

Bro. You mentioned Flathead tacos. I've only tried fish tacos once and it wasn't all that. Don't remember what kind of fish I used, probably something from Kroger. In you're tacos besides the fish what else did you combine with the Flathead?

[@RiverCertified]

I like coleslaw, lime, mozzarella cheese and a little hot sauce. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

[@terryrathmel7496]

If I had a dollar for all the iowa blue stores I've heard!!! Lol I went Kentucky when I was 18 or 19, I actually caught a blue. I always say a blue reminds me of a jet,and a channel is the old prop plane!!

[@jm-sv8ub]

put a jet pump on that outboard and you can run in 6 inches of water, I don't understand why you guys in the Midwest don't run more jets. I live in Washington state and run a 24' Alumaweld super V pro with a Mercury 250 jet with a tiller handle. I can run in about 8" of water with a jack plate up and down the rivers out here chasing steelhead and salmon.

[@RiverCertified]

Haha you haven't been watching my videos very long.

[@cowboyjack328]

My first thought. 😂

[@bigfisheatminnows]

I agree. I live in the Ozark mountains and anyone on the river here is running a jet drive. My boat's a alweld flat bottom with a Mercury 60 / 40 jet drive tiller steer. On a rocky shoal with lots of fist size and larger Boulder scattered through it will run in 4 to 5 in of water. On a sandy shoal my boat has been through 2 in of water at 30 mi an hour without touching the bottom. I've gone across shoals stopped got out walked out on them and there wasn't even enough water to come over the top of my shoe.
