Just got the notification for this vid while out fishing. Just caught a PB! 45 inch, 40lb blue cat with my catfish sumo rod :) my previous PB was 7lbs. Caught about 15 mins ago! Can’t wait to watch this vid later

What's up Justin hate I missed most of the livestream yesterday. Unfortunately, a work issue came up right at 3:30 going home time and the start of the stream that took me an hour to take care of then the drive home, but I'm very grateful for job. I am glad I got to catch the last hour or so. It is always a great time getting to interact with you and the rest of our KyakCatfish family. Thank you for everything you do to bring us the best fishing content on KZbin.

[@kurtmontgomery1357]

That's cool!! I caught a channel cat on a bare hook one time and a 25lb flattie ate him. No bait on my line because I was not feeling good then the neighbor asked what I caught this morning. He said when they drove by my line in their boat they could see it was going crazy. The flattie was "hooked" by the channel cats fins lol

The flathead was a beauty. The other blue cat gave you arm ache I bet. Well done Justin.

WHAT A BEAST this flathead ! probably the biggest you ever caught . Such extreme catches you should try to measure Justin ! Probably the smaller catfish avoid the verry big ones ??? To prevent they get eaten by them .....

Yeah that's nice the fish finder let's you know were to drop at but not what they like for bait but fish is great thanks for the video

Have you noticed more with the stinger fly with bigger baits or smaller baits

[@KayakCatfish]

I haven’t really noticed a difference with the bait size affecting catches on the fly. The bites on the flies are usually sporadic although I did have one trip last year where all but one fish was caught on the fly.

[@austinbonebrake1324]

Hey @kayakcatfish although we love our Crappie my dad and I are new to the catfishing game and have no problem using for bait if it gives us the thrill of a big cat. From Tennessee, looked up regs, but they are confusing... Can you help us understand for Tennessee?

[@KayakCatfish]

Sport fish can be used as bait as long as they are caught on rod and reel and meet minimum size requirements. Game wardens have to be able to determine length and species though. The regulations are vague on whether or not sport fish can be used as cut bait because it doesn’t elaborate on how game wardens verify length. Does it have to be their measurement device or will a pic with the fish on a measuring board along with date/time/gps stamp be sufficient? Who knows. If you are worried about getting a ticket, I would suggest using them live or as whole dead baits and you won’t have any issues.

[@jamesjobe4307]

Are those big Blues good eating? Which ones and what size do you keep for eating?

[@NWGAguy]

That first cat I think just used you to jump start it's TikTok cause it was doing the flippy flop fin hop dance, you know how Tiktok always trying to start that next big dance

[@PB_Fishing8]

Hey where what State are you in I didn’t know crappie we’re allowed to be used as bait

I’m still battling the end of the flu …. Funny story after hearing about your dog poo poo mess. So my fever was up to 102.3…. And I had to feed my cats…. They were both sitting on the bed which means they were hungry. Well I fed them can food which I doing usually do…. About three hours later I got to pee, I stepped in cat puke….. to make things WORSE, after I cleaned it up and got back into bed. To my surprise, there was puke on my bed …. So I laughed when you told your poop,story…

You hook the skipjack through the nostril?

That one was hooked through the nostril. I normally hook them through the back.

[@boxingstarcmbballer8797]

You must be thinking about corn fields or some kinda harvest calling a crappie a croppie 😂

[@curtisadams84]

So I’m just curious how is it legal to use crappie as bait cus in Missouri I’ve had an mdc agent tell me that we can use bluegill but not crappie cus they consider it as a sport fish

[@KayakCatfish]

Different laws in different states

now thats a flathead!!!
