[@mickaburkhart14]

[@greenpighunter6930]

Excellent. My two favorite catfish hunters.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@FishingKC15]

Micka, Spencer, Woody and Skip... that's a great collaboration!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah we all had a great time together out catching fish.

[@geoffbohartfishing]

Great to see you two out there competing in Tournaments. I have good luck using big j hooks and self setting the hook when I’m trying to target Flatties. Love using them double circle hook rigs for BIG baits too!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah we had to move to double hook rigs.

[@asianpersuasionadventures1956]

It was cool seeing you guys!! Hope to fish against yall again!

[@justinowens1268]

Love the tournament videos!

[@mickaburkhart14]

We got a couple more coming.

[@trinityoutdoors]

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@calvinhoward2407]

Great video Mika can't wait to see it again though Spencer

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah his will be a little bit better. I forgot my second camera so I couldn't get all the shots.

[@darrenangle4493]

Great video Micka. I love it when you guys collab on a video together. In my opinion you 2 are the best cat fishermen on KZbin.. Everyone that views this should at least give it a like.👍🏻

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. I truly appreciate that.

[@beverlycurry4370]

Only you two. The best catfisher men I know ❤

[@mickaburkhart14]

[@CertifiedFishingNut]

[@jimsmith-i3r]

Great video micka

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@jimsmith-i3r]

You and Spence make a good team if you would have got all them it would had been unbelievable

[@beverlycurry4370]

The way those boats are flying by no wonder.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah we had a couple come really close.

[@okiedokdgaming7661]

Crazy ass day on the water boys

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was.

[@markybob_bassplaya1462]

Stacked Flatheads that you can see on livescope, crazy! Yall make sure you subscribe, thumbs up and give (nice) comments to support the best catfish angler on KZbin.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you

[@STR8KRAZYFISHING]

I'd love to fish just 1 tournament with either one of ya. That would awesome. Yall missed more than I even catch 😂😅

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah we had a terrible hook up ratio that day for sure.

[@STR8KRAZYFISHING]

@mickaburkhart14 yeah, but to even have the opportunity to catch that many fish would be a blessing. Imma be a part of the excitement one day..lol..

[@markbartolowits5354]

another great video, always good to see Spencer with you. thanks for the explanation on the live scope, It looked like you were only fishing with 3 or 4 rods, is that customary or were you using more than that.? thanks again tony b texas

[@ronaldburnett3078]

Great video I fish for fatheads a lot they hold that bait in their mouth then let it go it happens to me I use cut bait and live bream or perch with 8 ought circle hooks my pole will bend all the way down reel the fish a minute then he lets it go lol but it’s fun when you do hook up thanks for video

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. Yeah we couldn't believe how many came loose.

[@billuricoli5267]

Spencer I didn't know it was you till I saw your dog give your buddy a box of tissues

[@atuuschaaw]

♥

[@ghost38901]

Watching that screen 24/7 and knowing the fish is down there and not biting is the #1 issue I have with Garmin livescooe and whether it's worth the 3000$ it's going to cost to buy. I'm not knocking it, it's obviously great, I'm just afraid I'll stay glued to the screen too much.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol it really gets hard to stop staring at it. But it's awesome to watch them come in and eat your bait.

[@billuricoli5267]

I like your buddy he's a good fisherman but I had to cut it short

[@billylusk3515]

Man what a day you guys had! How did yall finish up? You had me all excited too!

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah we did. I'm sure we placed in the top 10 somewhere. Haven't seen the final results yet.

[@jwitt77]

Mika the newest member of river certified that would be awesome nice to see you guys together could of moved up a hook size or smaller not sure what size you were using is the green with white tip the new mika Color rod

[@billydelong7372]

What a fun day. You using Triple Threat hooks?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was. And yeah we were. They were just biting weird.

[@jeffwhiteside1124]

Livescope catfish gotta love it. Mika you gonna get active target for your new graphs?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it is fun to watch them eat. Yes I will eventually get it for my boat.

[@shaneroberts9264]

What hooks was you running?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol everything. J hooks, triple threats, kahale. We kept swapping hooks but lost just as many. I guess it just depended on how they bit I guess.

[@moonlightfishin4113]

You had plenty of action. What body of water is that?

[@mickaburkhart14]

We were on the Coosa river.

[@moonlightfishin4113]

@@mickaburkhart14 Thank you.

[@changeaddresses]

Michael did you offset your hooks?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah all were offset and the double hook rig was set up in the bait offset.

[@billylusk3515]

What were those colored markers or floats that you had on the fish

[@mickaburkhart14]

It's culling balls that hav little clips that clip to the dorsal fins.

[@OldManCatfishing]

What hooks were y'all using ? The reason I ask is I saw another fisherman having the same problem so he started using only j hooks on his suspended rods and greatly increased his hookup ratio.

[@markbartolowits5354]

what river system were you on?

[@mickaburkhart14]

We were on the Coosa river.

[@flyinbrian1987]

Good video sir how did y’all do

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you. We were in the top 10 not sure exactly what place.

[@catfishcuz]

Many as yall lost reminds me of gar in the summer here

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was tough for sure.

[@thomasedenbeck2392]

Man I need a pole like that for my livescope.. I got mine on a home made piece of pvc pipe.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it was pretty nice to use but whatever works works 😆

[@thomasedenbeck2392]

Yea man it's neat to see fish come up and smoke a bite or come up and turn and go the other way.

[@cflem6252]

Misses may have been turtles.

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol it's possible but we didn't see any of those.

[@tommymadden9746]

what are you fishing in about 2 feet of water

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol went from 20 feet to 40 feet.

[@JayTurner-lg1wh]

Now you know how I felt the other day when I had 7 runs, 0 fish……at least it eventually worked out for a fish or 2 for you

[@mickaburkhart14]

Yeah it's really heartbreaking but it's part of fishing. We did get our limit so that's the best part.

[@brandoncenters3408]

Some of those had to be Gar...right?

[@mickaburkhart14]

Maybe some but didn't see alot of gar in that area. But it's definitely possible for sure.

[@Rancieroutdoors87]

I would like to go fishing with you 1 day. You might know my buddy he's a sponsor With mad Katz as well

[@johnmeyer6537]

where is the tournament?

[@mickaburkhart14]

It was in Alabama. Coosa river.

[@jamesoosterbaan556]

Forward facing sonar 😢

[@KVcrna1]

I’d just write off the misses as dinks, too small to take your baits

[@mickaburkhart14]

Lol yeah that's what we did.

[@jerrythomas4457]

Where’s catfish Dave?

[@mickaburkhart14]

😆 🤣 😂

[@johnmeyer6537]

first

[@mickaburkhart14]

I think we ended up in the top 10.

[@hunter5858]

Spencer and micka at it again good luck 😅

[@mickaburkhart14]

Thank you.
