I was out crappie fishing one day when one broke my line. About 6 fish later or so I caught that same fish with my swivel and lure still in its mouth!! Love them moments
SOOOOO COOL!!😎🎣
I remember a few years ago you caught a big blue that you recognized by a dark spot on his fin if I remember right. You checked your past videos to verify that you had already caught him once before. Great video. Thanks
Yep 😂
I remember that also.
Was just thinking about the same fish. Epic day.
that blue was an absolute beast too, I hope its still out there!
Yessir
It's fun to catch the same fish more than once. It proves that catch and release works. When I was living in Montana and fishing a small section of a small stream I got to know a particular brown trout. His jaws were not lined up and it made hime super easy to identify, much like your flathead with the scar. I named the fish Bob and caught bob at least 8 times over a summer. On three different days Bob came to see me via a barbless fly and 5 or 6x leader. At least a couple other times also. Makes you wonder how many other fish we catch more than once- most are not easy to identify as an individual. Thanks for the video and keep on catching them!
I havnt had such a fun day fishing with you in months. Dont think I've ever seen you catch so many flathead in one day before. This really made my day Justin. Thanks again.
The video I watched from today. Holy cow Justin, you have been nailing the flat heads!! That makes me happy! I know how much you love those flat heads! They sure are a pretty fish! I've never had the Joy of catching one. Now my friend, get a golly woper! God bless you my brother!!! Thank you!!!🎉
That's definitely the same flathead from last week's video.. in that big body of water the likelihood of catching the same fish a week later is next to impossible. Way to go Justin. Love the videos
the flathead bite has been crazy! I have a friend who's been fishing off my dock while i'm sleeping during the work week. He had a double up with two 30+ pounders and had to call my neighbor to help! Great video Justin!
Nice video. Its a good feeling when you catch a particular fish again. It let's you know that you're treating them right and they're fine. It probably happens more than we know, but it only happens when a fish has a peculiarity that lets you identify it. It happens to me with carp fishing. keep it up Justin.
Awesome flathead action, looks like you had an awesome trip. My trip with Josh on Guntersville yielded 10 blues, 1 flathead. My pb blue of 37 lbs, and my son got one of 42 lbs.
That’s great! I’m glad you had a good trip.
Papaw had a 15 pound blue in his pond called Whisker, you catch him twice a day sometimes. On anything. He like buzz baits. He looked like Jaws swimming up behind one
Hey Justin. I am sure you have probably already thought of this but I use a quick disconnect system when anchored to disconnect when I get a big fish on to keep ‘em out of the anchor. It works on big offshore species like king fish, sharks and bullreds! Tight lines bro
Have to tie your rope to the back of anchor blades then Ty wrap it to the eye of the anchor. When you pull hard on you break the tywrap.
For most of us that would have been a once in a lifetime fishing trip, love your videos they make my day. Keep up the fine work!
Great show Justin, I almost was expecting you to recatch that big blue with your gear in his jaw😊😮😂.
It really is fascinating to watch someone have as positive as an attitude as you , every episode you see the result of it which is just pure greatness , the mentality 👌… is unmatched I think that’s half the channel
Thank you Justin! I appreciate it.
@@KayakCatfish I’ll try an catch you on the next live chat ! Can’t wait to see the next episode….. an can’t thank yah enough for (re instilling) that lesson of the power of bein positive ….. 😎
What an awesome outing. Congrats man!
You sold me with the title of this video
There's a saying..."I'm down like 4 flats on a Cadillac." Your day had the spare flat too. Awesome day and thanks for the content.
You are the only fisherman on CZcams who talks to the fish 🐟 you make me laugh so hard!!! Justin, you are so awesome!!! I'm so glad I found your show. MAN, you make me laugh 😂
Also how awesome catching that same flat head. I seen the first video when you posted it and as soon as I seen that scar I remembered it at same time you said it. So cool!
The wacky days on the water are always the most memorable!
Great video!! The reward of CATCH and RELEASE on the Flat head!! Shame on that first one and again the anchor rope.
Hey Justin …. It’s your North East Connecticut fan ….. I was laughing my a$$ off from the ultra lite fishing video … yes I watched it all. I could tell you a bunch of funny state troopers verbal arguments . I worked with them both in my full time department and part time State Environmental Police job. The TROOPERS MUSTACHE ….lol
Starting this nice relaxing video.
Thank you for all you do.
Dan
Disabled retried clean shaven cop !
Now ain’t that something, catching the same flathead twice!👍🎣👍🎣👍🎣
Isn't that the third time you caught that fish?
Finally the video with Scarface on it that you've been talking about that's pretty cool.🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Okay Justin, what's the deal bringing that big blue into the kayak when it was foul hooked? Huummmm
Just ribbing ya,😂😂
Great day of fishing for Justin.
Keep them rods bent will ya.
Can't wait for the next vid.
What a trip, I would love to just have one trip like that
That flat doesn’t want camera time Justin. He wants the $2.00 you owe him. 😂
I cracked up when you were talking about that catfish eating the other one. 😅😅. You said he ate him whole. 😂😂. Of course he dont have silverware. 😂😂😂 awesome video man for real.
I have got up with videos. Finally!! Helps getting back over the road so I can just run the Playlist. Another awesome video!! Have a blessed day Justin.
Thanks Teri!
Friend, that was Awesome, and I don't use that word much. I was very excited to see this video after you mentioned the catch in the live stream last week. Thanks for another great video, and what a testament to help people understand to turn trophy quality fish back loose to catch another day. As deep as number 3 took the fly makes me wonder if he took the fly and the head at the same time and missed the head hook.
LMAO Diabeetus! You sounded like Wilford Brimley!!! Great video enjoyed with my cat and my morning coffee 😊
Hello Justin, great fishing fishing trip. 🎣 oh, I owe you a nickle. lol. Take care and wish you continued success. 👍
You are awesome brother keep your videos coming and know that I am always watching your channel. Peace out from Ohio Don T
You are to coll and I would come fishing with you anytime you are the s..t brother. Peace out from Ohio Don T
This was great. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing 😊
Glad you turn your comments back on. I just come through Fort Loudon, beautiful place
Comments were never turned off on this channel. You were probably watching a video on my highlights channel that didn’t have comments enabled.
@@KayakCatfish well if that’s the case I’m not getting your notifications because I’m subscribed and I hit the bell as well for all notifications and I don’t get them. This is the first one I’ve got with the comments on in a long time I guess it’s a CZcams thing
I'm fishing the same stretch of River that the Alabama State Record came out of and I catch catch diddly. I know it's coming one day but till then I'll just enjoy watching you catch em.
Looks like a awesome fishing trip man!
The mouthful of cookies part is cracking me up lmao. Also, I wonder if that fish would've had problems digesting that smaller cat
Good lord what a trip that was. I'm sure the people who recognize that bridge are like "oh yeah I'm heading out to catch some giant cats". If not they should be. Thank you for sharing Justin. God bless 🙏
A NEW NAME FOR YOU THE CATFISH KING
One of your best videos! Great job!
Great trip, Justin! Lots of fun.
Awesome fishing video Justin
Wow Justin! What a day! One for the history books!
Man! What a video and what a day. That last flathead had the weird whisker thing going on like another fish you caught in a previous video. Great, great video.
Justin that was a epic fishing trip 👍
Great video one of the best
I've never had a day like that before! Great video 💯
Can I get a oooooohhhhhhh 👊🏾 action!!!
As I continued to watch this was an amazing video!! Keep dropping lines bud!!!
Congratulations on flathead number 6!!!
Lance apparently said it's "knee-cot". Just FYI great video so far, Justin.
Bro this video is crazy and I’m only 45 mins in 🤯 awesome video Justin!
I had three carp named Larry, Garry, and Terry that all had the same deformation in their mouth in a pond that me and my friends caught probably 50 times or more, they usually ran in a group and you'd catch all three within 20 minutes of each other 😂
Should have been Harry not Terry
What a day! Nice going.
You make great videos
Awesome fishing makes mewant to go fishing everytime good job
He stalked that little catfish for hours! He may never bite your bait again! Hope you didn't pi$$ him off!!😂😂
I have the same trip on a different day all the time!! I dont catch crap!!😂😂 Atleast i can come here an watch fish being caught.
I'm so happy to see you on the water!!! Golly woper time 😊!
Awesome catching that catfish again
Great fishing trip awesome seeing you catch the same fish again I took a #8 hook through the tip of my pinky right through the nail while landing a big blue it was very uncomfortable cut off the barb pulled the hook out and keep fishing stay safe out there justin
Awesome trip
That was an awesome day out on the water. Some really nice flatters.
What a great day you had.
I wanted you to get that 5th flatbread so much!! I would love to reel in a fish 🐠 for you. It sure is fun watching you do it 😁
YOU COULD DO A NIGHT FISHING TRIP THAT WOULD BE COOL NO ONE WILL BE OUT ON THE LAKE LOL
I stuck it out till the end 💪🏻
Nice fish 🤙
What a day👍
Great trip! I want to catch some of those so bad… only got channels and a couple small blues under the belt. Nice job brother.
I learned few things watching your videos , I’m new to fishing one day I will catch a big cat like the ones you catch
An EPIC day to say the least! A double digit day, an anchor fish x2, a same catch fish, and a blue with a catfish hanging out of his mouth!! BTW, I do carry an extra pair of drawers just in case I shit’em!!😂😂
i just realized this, but your fishing on my home lake. thought i recognized the bridge and the sailboats in the background from somewhere!😭
Incredible
Thanks!
Thank you Charles!
Good fishing
You almost got that piercing!😂😂😂
That was an epic day of fishing
Last year I caught a Channel Cat that broke me off the week before. I got my 7/0 hook back.
Justin, I've fished that exact stretch of water in my Kayak multiple times and have only caught dinks. I knew it held good fish but in summer time the dinks ate me alive.lol
We used to have a trophy bass pond in Georgia and you could catch the same bass over 10 pounds five cast later on big live shinner and balloon and I am sure it was the same fish because all of them over 10 pounds were tagged. Great video Mr. Justin go vols
The 2nd fish recatch? Had a forked whisker also, trying comparing whiskers with the other with one. I believe your correct and possibly caught smart blue twice also.
Justin you need a quick release anchor system, so the fish won’t go into your anchor line and also the spot. Nice catch!
Awesome day there bud!
Justin,
HERE’S A SIMPLE WAY TO AVOID LOSING FISH SNAGGED ON YOUR ANCHOR ROPE !!!
Attach your rope to your kayak with a CARABINER. Make sure you clip it in a place you can reach while fighting a bigun. Also, you’ll need a small buoy or fender about 5’ from the boat end. When you hook a large fish you don’t want to risk losing, unsnap your anchor rope and toss it overboard. When you get back to your spot, your anchor position will be duplicated.
That was a tattoo. In Michigan it is really popular for Flatheads to get tattoos. A guy I have fiished with before has caught 120 as of last Thursday.
Justin those Nekot cookies are great, try the peanut butter and fudge both together its great.
havin a great day
That big blue new what to do. First, got in your other line, then anchor rope again. He had a plan to get loose for sure.
I would be in bliss to catch so many big fish
You should put a quick release on your anchor line like I have on both my Kayaks. I have a one handed in seconds release right next to my seat. If I even think the fish is going to get caught in it I pull the quick release and I am free to fight the fish. The end of my anchor line floats and I go back and retrieve it later after the fish of coarse. Easy peezy.
Did you audition for Grondhog Day 2? Lol. Great trip!
Good morning, got a question for you. Does skip jack work for bait in the Oklahoma lakes & rivers. Skip jack doesn't run around here that I know of.
Awesome day
You might think I'm crazy but you should do like some type of challenges or something whoever wins gets a fishing trip with you cause that would be a trip of an absolute life time
It’s a great feeling but definitely not the best feeling in the world 😂
Awesome video! I recently bought 4 of your gollywhopper rods and love them! I have one question for you though. I bought one of the same shimano reels you use, and noticed that no matter how hard I cranked it down in the reel seat, the reel still had a tendency to shift to one side or the other, putting it out of alignment with the line eyelets. Did you experience this issue, or have any advice to help stop the reels moving?
Thanks for buying the rods! The Shimano Tekotas have pretty narrow reel feet. Personally, I use channel lock pliers to crank my reel seats down to keep them from shifting. Another option though is to send Catfish Sumo an email about the issue. They have some shims to slide over the reel feet to help give it a more snug fit that they will send you for free.
@@KayakCatfish thank you for that advice! My next idea was to see if there were any kind of shims available or perhaps shove some wood up there to stabilize the reel, but I will definitely shoot him an email. Appreciate it! Tight lines and good luck on your next trip!
Time to start tagging fish with date and time!
Do you have any videos on how you setup your kayak for catfishing?
You must be in flathead city. I believe that was the largest blue I have ever saw you catch. Ol rubbing head had to make a return visit, he didn't get enough front camera time the last time that you caught him. 😅
new species anchor cat . well she sure was a beautiful fish
