At the 2:00:57 to the 2:12:19 makes it so worth while to go back and get caught up . Just like all big flatties they know they are the beast and do not get in a hurry when released ."Oh I get it" LOVE ❤ the way you get excited like a 4 year old catching that 1st bluegill without help. Keep it up Justin .....You are what keeps this old man with busted up feet going when I can't fish.
I honestly don't think there's another fisherman on youtube who could catch one fish in an hour long segment and still keep me interested and engaged. Thanks man.
Been wondering and hoping you haven't been badly affected by Helene.
Thanks! Fortunately we didn’t have any damage in my area.
I'm 63 and worked my butt off my whole life. Couldn't wait for the golden years, so I could hunt and fish all I want. But my body hurts so bad from all the work, I can't enjoy the outdoors at my age.
It's a sad story. ..
Same here, and I’m just 55.
Keith I know how you feel I'm 55 I've had multiple surgeries on my back and I'm now disabled and can't enjoy it anymore and live my fishing through Justin's videos take care stay positive
Yeah u can eat healthy take some pain meds
Great video. The one thing I don't understand though is why fish a kayak for big fish in big water?
I have to say man, im 21 years old, I enjoy watching your videos. I start them in the morning on a work day throw in an airpod and listen to it while I work while occasionally looking to see the fish you catch. I really enjoy catfishing myself and actually live in TN too. But at 16 I was diagnosed with non-hodgekins lymphoma which basically threw my last highschool years in the trash, but I ended up getting a credit card when I was 18 and buried myself in debt, I wont say a number but it was up there and now, all I can do is work it off because At the time I was tired of seeing all my friends and other people enjoying theirselves on the beach and traveling, but now im 21 and im stuck working all the time unless its the weekend and man its rough. I just wanted to say man you speak the truth. But hey with my deteriorated health from rounds and rounds of chemo, Im getting to almost where I cannot work as well as I used to as I work in a warehouse. So ive been patiently looking for a job that pays more and is less demanding on my body. But as I was saying I just wanna say man you do great at telling advice and fishing, i aspire to be as prepared as you and be financially where you are at some point, ive looked and looked at boats and kayaks as I would love to be on the water on the weekends and enjoy time on the water on the weekends vs being on the bank but hey I do enjoy spending time atleast with a wet hook.
Keep posting amazing content man! I really enjoy watching! Also hope your dry after all that hurricane weather hit east TN! Hope the bite since the weather has been amazing!💯💯💯
Thanks buddy! Sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. Hope you are able to find a job that is better for you and get out of debt. Wishing you the best.
@@KayakCatfish Man I just wanna say I didnt expect a response, but, I will be proud to tell you I haven’t had cancer in five years. I beat it. Beat it to the curb. I went through treatment for 5 months and the aftermath is what pretty much ruined my highschool years but now its just a constant struggle of staying ahead yenno? But hey it all gets better with time, just realizing I messed up with a credit card and knowing that I aint getting any younger will teach me not to do it again! Im currently looking for better jobs and everything that is a little easier on my body, when I was 18 fresh out of highschool this job was possible and feasible for me but now that ive gotten older and chemo has stood the test of time on degrading my joints and bones and back, well lifting tile and hardwood and stuff just isn’t a good path anymore ya know? But thank you so much for creating content that has little tidbits of life lessons and help in them it means the world!
@@KayakCatfish Sorry for not specifying if I didn’t in the original post. I meant to include that I did beat it!
But like I said I truly truly hope yall are good down in east tn. I heard of some bridges collapsing and possibly flooding so wish you the best and prayers for you and your dog/family
Hey Justin, if/whenever you do get the new kayak, when you do install the rod holders can we get possibly a video of the install to see the placement you go with just in case some of the viewers go that route and have issues with rod holder placement??
Yes, I can definitely do that
Hey Justin, FYI. I'm a 65 year ol male, and you are my favorite channel. Keep speaking your mind. That's what makes your channel so great. Thin skinned people be damned.
Hey Mr. Justin I saw your TN vols heading towards Memphis on 240 early today delivering meat for Fayette packing meat co. Idk the vols schedule I'm a Memphis tigers fan
I’m TRIGGERED.
The fish you catch are larger than the ones I catch. 😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks for letting me come fishing with you. Thanks to you I’m fishing just about everyday (kind of).
I believe you were referring to my comment I made a few videos ago and I understand and appreciate your explanation. I fish from my boat and the river banks with my son in law and grandson and it's the hunt and the tug that keeps us coming back (along with being able to eat fish if we want to) Sometimes we have to release fish if they are to big, to small, wild etc. but it was winning the battle that was fun and it somehow makes the soul happy, My grandson (15yr old) just caught a 9lb salmon on a jig (he sells them also for fishing money) that he tied up and the joy and the look of accomplishment on his face......that's one of the reasons I fish. Keep on doing what you do Justin I truly enjoy your videos and your commentary. We don't really fish catfish here in Washington State but that flathead was a HOG......very nice
Justin that flathead was awesome. Nice job..Thanks for bringing us along.
I love this!!!!! I'm 🤢
Sick of T.V.. Thank you so much for the video!!! God bless you and keep you safe and healthy 🙏.
So awesome man so awesome! That is the first time in a good many videos where I seen you that excited over catching a fish. The ones when you just try to breathe and keep laughing without saying a lot for a minute. What a feeling that must have been! So glad to be a part of it just through a screen. Keep doing what you do man. You are the G.O.A.T when it comes to kayak catfishing and kayak catfishing videos. No matter what happens in the angler of the year, you are the angler of the decade for kayak catfishing!
Thanks James!
Justin I'm 59 years old I'm actually watching you on my television at home under my wife's account I guess I'm one of the few I think you are great keep doing what you're doing
Man your reaction to the live bait take down was awesome. Love your excitement.. I finally figured out to become a channel member also
i hope you and your family is safe from all these floods and junk. great video as always
I'm glad you caught the big flathead that you've been wanting. Nice fish!
Man, I’m so jealous at how calm that water is
Great picture quality. Especially the reflection of the sky on the water.
Dude, that rock being transported from hell was the funniest shit I've heard in awhile
Awesome job Justin! Catching that big Flathead😊
Awesome video man 🎣🎣🎣
Man you need to get one of those fish scales that the bass boys use to put a number up that will show them what a real predator fish is. 😉🍻
Brightening up my day! ☀️
Allways a good day when you post a video
2:12:00 Hey Justin! That flathead was massive. Great fight too. I love the unedited fishing videos.
Thanks Matt! Hope you are doing well
Can't wait for the action!!
I may have a small confession. A couple of my friends own a bait shop near watts bar. I went inside there a few days ago (right after the tourney in bama). They asked me if i knew who Ryan Bortz was, I told them that I only knew of him through your videos on youtube. I then started laughing and told them that if he ever came back in there that they should call him bottle rocket Bortz just to see what his reaction would be. lol. Anyways, thank you again for yet another great video! I enjoy all of your old and new content! im surprised you havent started charging me rent because im basically living in your channel on here. lol. Any time i have any free time I am watching your videos, heck i even fall asleep with your videos playing through my ear buds. i will just start one of your yearly playlists and let it play.
Hahaha!!! I hope they actually call him that when he goes back
I'm catching up a few minutes where I can when I can. I will get caught up . Having a hard time typing will just watch til I fall a slssep.
That was frigin...AWSOME..big flatty
Man wow that flathead is huge
Hope you catch the Giant 💪‼️
I finally broke down got two ten foot kayaks my 12 year old love's bass fishing out of them now and I found him watching your videos this morning
I’m
Nice nice flat head keep up the good work
Love the videos Justin you have taught me alot the stinger rigs are great 👍
I also fish to catch fish to eat. However, unlike your commenter, I also enjoy the sport of fishing. It is fun catching fish, especially those that put up a fight like catfish do. I had my best catfishing last night, numbers and size. The lake was up 1-2 feet due to Helene. I did some ultralight fishing first and didn't get a bite, which concerned me if the catfish will be biting. I decided to anchor on a new spot on the edge of a hole in the original river bend. About 10 minutes before the time I had set to leave, I caught my PB blue cat (35-40 lbs.). I fish with medium rods/reels and it took me about 15 minutes to wear him down so I can land him. Even though I did release the fish because I don't keep the larger fish, I enjoyed the fight. It was exciting feeling him pull hard on the rod and pulling drag. My fishing trip ended on a high note, I don't specifically target big catfish, but prepared and ready for the fight when it comes along because fishing is the best sport around, whether you fish to keep fish to eat or catch and release. Keep doing what you're doing that leads to your "pursuit of happiness"...it's your life to live.
Congrats on your new pb!
I was wondering about the gut pocket situation I would have thought it would make more scent but I understand your point
Great video, Justin. I called Ryan Bottlerocket Bortz on Spencer's channel when they were prefishing for the last tournament. 😅😅😂😂
Haha! I love it.
Watched the second half today. Congratulations on the massive Flathead!!!~ (and...never, ever trust a meteorite...)
Love you ya man. Great content,, but the rock stories.
Sangat bagus conten yang sangat menarik banyak sekali tip trik mancing nya.. ❤
I’m listening to you talking about a new Kia yak I’d love maybe to buy that one it will be my first
A week from today I'm 65. I love you.
Happy Birthday!
Thank you Justin ☺️ @@KayakCatfish
Good job
Hey Justin, I was wondering how you’re doing with that remnant of hurricane Helene? How to get some plow going in those rivers sounds like. OK be careful out there.😊
Thankfully we didn’t have any damage in my area.
Those power line towers are my favorite. They remind me of IronGiant
Thanks Larry!
Who cares what people think. If they can't handle seeing it, then they don't have to watch. There is always going to be some type of criticism from somebody. Justin, your here to fish and make content, not to please everyone. Fishing is sometimes a brutal sport and things need to be done. No longer holding back my peace if mind. Folks, if you don't like it, then fast forward through it until it's done or don't watch this segment.
You have definitely proven your golly Whopper rods. They're one damn good rod😊
Thanks Roger!
Hey Justin, I haven't been able to watch since Friday the 27. We have no cell service or power up here in the mtns. I'm about 20 miles from home now. I hope you, Daphne, parents and girlfriend are all safe and well.
Sorry to hear that James. Hope things get back to normal for you soon.
Do you think that double hooking your live bait would help at all? Might save your bait sometimes. Don't know if that was ever discussed on any of your videos or not.
Yes, I’m sure a double hook rig would help especially on the larger live baits. I’m just too lazy to tie them lol.
@KayakCatfish lol. Understand. Your videos are awesome!
2:08:00 Justin said yeah baby 👊 bump warning worthy 😂
Walmart has a 40 quart cooler float. I’m going to try that for a bigger bait tank.
I have seen your cheaper fish finder and you have talked about it. However, you have not talked about this unit with the live scope. Could you tell me about it? What brand, cost, etc.?
ruclips.net/video/8s8nXErMyHU/видео.htmlsi=qVlfxlB-Y4Qhl8eB
@KayakCatfish , thanks. I'm still watching the video. I've talked to Ryan bortz last couple of days. The part of the conversation where you talked about doing what you love to do was part of what him and I discussed. I've got to do it. I need to find a way to get my debt off of me so I can move forward. Keep making videos, I still find inspiration in every one of them.
QUESTION
Why not post your pictures of your catches (when you get them) the same time your videos come out?
Nice...from Pakistan
👊👊👊👊 worthy
OK JJ. I haven't commented in a while but, I still watch. First off, I pray for all that has been affected by Helene and that things will get better ASAP. I started watching this video Sunday night on my phone because we didn't have power and I'm here to watch the rest but, I wanted to ask you something and at the 2hr 18 or so mark, you said trolling. Now that you said that, you got me thinking more. My initial question was, could you explain the difference between dragging and drifting? Dragging I assume is when you are going against the current with baits behind you and drifting is going with the current but still baits behind you. Am I correct? I am trying to get a small boat that I can just get out on the water before this yr is out and I was just gonna apply what I have been learning from you about the ledges and creek mouths and anchor up. I've learned as you said in this video, dragging and doing something different may or may not result in better results so, I need some more info. Now back on that word you mentioned....trolling. Is that the original word for drifting? I really appreciate you, your expertise, your videos and the fact, you usually respond to me. I'm just trying learn much as I can to be successful when I do get out in my own little boat or whatever boat GOD bless me to have.
Different catfishermen will give you different answers to that question. For me, when I say trolling it means I am having to propel the kayak because there is either no current or I am moving against the current. When I say I am drifting, the kayak is either being moved by current or wind. Dragging or suspending is just the particular techniques I do while moving.
@@KayakCatfish Once again, I appreciate the reply JJ. Just now at the part about the sheriff, king, emperor, el presidente part lol. I mean I catch fish from the bank but, it's not many places to fish anymore from the bank here, I can't wait to get out there on the water and apply the stuff I have learned watching you.
I am out of power and waiting impatiently for the Alabama video. I assume y’all didn’t get hit that hard in Tennessee seeing that you were able to upload this video. We won’t have power until Friday here in the foothills of nc. Good fish, seems like you’ve been getting on better fish recently.
Just heard you didn’t fish in Alabama. Also I would like to say I don’t believe in luck. There are so many circumstances and variables in life that just a few events happening in a certain way has hardly any probability. The drug addict, pink eye, knock out tournament, and Angler OTY could have just as easily worked out in your favor.
Hope you weathered that storm without out any damages. Looks like most of the damage was east of you and west North Carolina.
Thanks! Fortunately there wasn’t any damage in my area.
That’s good to hear. Living here in Louisiana those storms can reek havoc. Last ones eye went right over the house. Fortunately just a cat 1.
Been subbed since 4k subs
Thanks for sticking with me so long!
@@KayakCatfish I always knew you would blow up and trust me man this is just the beginning
How's it going buddy good to see you I'm doing better myself
Glad you are doing better Andy!
Just caught a new Flatehead PB 43 inches. Lake fishing suspend fishing off custom floats. He ate the paper plate sized bluegill.
Awesome! Congrats on that huge flathead
Good luck Justin
Thanks for being the first to comment Keith!
I'm an old white man 69 years old. I enjoy watching your videos, but I'm an old shop rat so it's real hard to offend me. Thanks for the fishing tips I've learned a lot.
Lol justin was the video old bottle rocket tagged you in was it Spencer on River certified i seen ryan on there and called him old bottle rocket bortz in the comments but i never said anything bad about you your my favorite you tuber you stay safe out the this was a great video and that story cracked me up
I am seeing all the flooding on the news from Ms. Helene.....I do hope you are safe and your home ( and baby cheetah) are warm, safe, and Dry!!
Nice Big flat head, shovel head, whatever. But would like to know how big. I heard your guess 40-45". I would of liked to have known it's weigh?
Sorry, good video other wise. 😊 Thanks.
A simple Google search would tell you it weighs around 30 pounds. Most don't care about all that though.
@jonboatmorava9115 maybe on average. But catfish can be the smallest length and drastically different weights. By 10 to 20 pounds sometimes difference.
@@wakingforbacon6439 no this isn't about average this is about taking the length to figure out what it weighs. This fish you're worried about weight is around 30 pounds based on the length. See this is exactly why he don't weigh fish or make any kind of deal about it because all people do is argue or cry about the information given.
@@jonboatmorava9115 then how the ef so you know it weighed about 30 pounds? And who was crying? Besides you in this last comment. Just saying a fish can be 20 pounds difference in size and be the same length. I know he measures his fish by length. Kind of stupid to say they all the same weight cause they are the same length. Guess you haven't fished that much
@@wakingforbacon6439 ugh, I just don't have the crayons to help you here. You're just wanting to argue and cry like a woman. Hope you find your way.
Hope you wasn’t impacted by the hurricane to much. Thank you for the upload
Thankfully we didn’t have any damage in my area.
Do you like using the red fishing line.
It would pretty dumb to use it if I didn’t like it.
I'm catching up a few minutes where I can when I can. I will get caught up . Having a hard time typing will just watch til I fall a slssep.4:21am
This sounds like the Brady bunch episode when they took the necklace out of the cave and started all having bad luck.
Sorry to hear that Doc Reed
Great video wish your battery was bigger
I bet your fans would love it if you'd organize some kind of simple donation process for the folks in East TN who lost loved ones, businesses, homes, etc? Just a thought.
Ever use bullheads
No, I don’t ever catch any bullheads
The ravens lost their first game against the chiefs. Did that not knock you out of the survivor league?
I had them in week 2 against the raiders
@@KayakCatfish oh okay. Wasn't sure how it worked. Lol. Maybe next year. 🤣🤣 love the videos man.
The only time I believe that folks start disliking their jobs is when the work environment starts being toxic. Favoritism, not feeling appreciated, management and the list can go on.
Sounds like every job I ever had lol
I married my "hex", so a rock is nothing.....B E A Utiful flat head.....congrats
That fish said stfu for a second yap yap
Just bring a 13 gallon garbage bag with you and put the bucket inside the bag when you're transporting it this way if the water splashes out for whatever reason it will get trapped in the bag and not all over your car
That might be the biggest Flathead, we've seen you catch?
62 white guy, enjoy your show.
I have found that if I am watching your videos and leave a comment on a short I clicked on, it will leave the comment on your video instead! I have deleted several of these but if you get a weird random comment from me, that's why!
I get so many weird random comments that I don’t even think twice about it anymore lol
Hey man are you okay ???? Heard TN got hit hard
Thankfully there wasn’t any damage in my area
I had a awful smell in my car and couldn't figure out why..I forgot some frozen cutbait bluegill and thought that melting was the problem but a month or so later I found a mummy bluegill hiding under my seat😂😂 hopefully the smell will go away now😅
Hahaha! That’s awful
@KayakCatfish oh yes it smelled sooo bad my wife and kids was always complaining 😂 and friends
You will have to get a bigger KAYAK so I will have a seat and I'll help you catch a fish.😄
Man I wouldn't change the channel even if she told me too
Just say. I do it because I do it , that’s all there is to it. Done.
You are not cuckoo for coco puffs! But please tell that silly rabbit that Trixs are for kids lol!
Something must be wrong with me. I’m an 73 year old white guy who finds you entertaining. Guess I should get some help. 😂
🙂🎣
Private Equity groups..
I enjoy your channel Justin although what I am about to say might get me blocked. Unless asked by you I will never post about this subject again. The things you were saying about it being a shame to waste your whole life struck a chord. I am 72 and waited until I was 46 to accept Jesus as my Lord and savior. I don't just know about Jesus, I KNOW Him personally. I hope you will too someday. It would be a shame for your life to become meaningless if you don't make it to Heaven! I have peace and abundant joy in my life now. I don't judge you but I do pray for you. I watch your channel because I like it and this is the only way I can enjoy your content now because when I go to be with the Lord I will no longer even remember you unless you surrender your life to Jesus. No one in Heaven will remember you. That would be a shame and another life wasted. You know, if I'm wrong, I have lost nothing but if unbelievers are wrong, they've lost everything. I won't mess up your channel by responding to any hateful comments out of respect for your channel. I know the reason for hateful comments. Just please think about this. I care!
Prove a god exist. Do you condone the evil in the bible. Do you condone slavery and the other horrid things god commands not just condones but commands his people to do? The bible refers to the earth as flat covered by a dome. The flood never happened scientifically proven. Don't tell someone else how to live when your own beliefs are horrid.
The bible has been proved false bro. The flood and talking donkeys talking snakes. 😂😂 Magic. Legit magic.
it has? How was it proven false? It has been proven that Jesus was a man that existed, have you read the Bible? Hey to each his own if you don't have faith but don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining. Proof of the flood, ✔️ Proof of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah check ✔️ shroud of Turin check ✔️ I don't know about no talking donkeys.
@Matthew-qk1xi the shroud of Turin. Even creationist calls that bs. And proof of the flood? There is proof the flood nevwr happened. If the glood happened hetero would be humans down in layers with dinosaurs and other fossils all mixed up. That don't happen. And there is no proof of Sodom and Gomorrah being destroyed like the bible claims. Not even close. The Bible talks about the earth being flat. Hou must not have ever read the bible is you don't know about the talking donkeys in there. And the talking snakes. And your asking me if I've ever read it. Front to back.
@Matthew-qk1xi jesus might have been proven a man that existed. A man. Thats it. Nothing more. And that can't be verified 100% there are no evidence outside the bible of Jesus. None.
Love your videos but the uncut ? Are u getting tire of editing or just being lazy lol but still keep pumping that fist brother
Both. He admits it. 😂
Ya tryin to get demonetized for having a wet t shirt contest!
I would pay money for no political ads and I’m meaning from all sides. Nobody will change my mind on what I believe relative to political views.
Stop releasing the blues they great food!
Gotta disagree Justin. Those catfish spend their lives eating white/yellow bass in the wild that still have their fins. Theyre not deterred in the slightest.
I promise you this guy has caught way bigger fish that you could only dream of catching humble your self sir.
They may be a little physically deterred, he's just making it easier to get in their mouths.
@@tysmokez2535 and what I posted is not true? Big catfish only eat other fish if their fins are missing? Are you really dumb enough to think a catfish gives a damn if fins are on a fish? “Can’t eat that white bass. He’s got fins that will poke me.” Lmao.
@@tysmokez2535 yes, because catfish swim around thinking, “can’t eat that fish. He has fins.” Lmao.
@@bartfoster1311 not in the least. Not even a little bit.
