Maybe should stick with catching bait lol
Maybe you should get your low T checked
@@TopKnoxFishing😂
Everyone gets the smoke.
@@TopKnoxFishing hell yuh
Pinned it to the top too. Talk smack on my page and get thousands of people watching you get roasted back.
Awesome video! Do one or some pictures of how you have your trailer hook tied when you use the larger cut baits. Keep up the good work!
This is the first time I've seen someone out of Arizona actually run baits out with a kayak and use live carp. We've been doing that for forever here haha nice video! You guys got on some very solid flats! I wish we could use half the bait fish and half the amount of rods as you guys. We can only use sunfish and carp for bait plus they have to be caught in the water you're fishing for flats so no transporting live fish. Makes it tough. I'm jealous lol
In my state we can't transport live fish either, but it hasn't done shit to stop the spread of invasive fish, just another thing for the game warden to give you a ticket for. Neighboring state has no bait restrictions and has twice as good fishing as here
Live bait 3lb to 4lb to keep them 45 pounders and smaller from eating your bait is the best way to hook trophy flatheads. I grew up in Ohio and fished the Ohio river most of my life I currently live in Richmond VA and fish the tidal James river for trophy flatheads and some blues in the winter and all my trophy flatheads come off huge live baits. You don't have to run huge baits on all your rods just where you expect to hook trophy flatheads deep holes log jams big rocks and rock piles. Good luck on that trophy flathead it's only a matter of time before you put the bait in the perfect place at the perfect time and hook up on a fish of a lifetime.
Imagine a big bruising flathead who just took a dump and weighs in .3 of a pound under state record 😂
I knew it 😂 the big gold fish are the champions of baits ! Big hammer on the big goldie boy . If yall can catch some golden trout and keep them alive they are absolutely awesome as well 👏
Great video guys. I really enjoyed it.
Thanks bro!
Saw you at the ramp, was workin on my trailer, sweet video dude 🤘
Dude I’ve been looking for a good Tennessee fishing channel and this hit the nail on the head
Welcome aboard!
Nice flathead hunt
Good jobs guys. good to see you trying each others methods of fishing.
Always fun to learn something new!!!
Now that's some baits yall!Hell of a video!!!
perfect baits!!!! keep rocking! peace
I was in dollar general yesterday in the as seen on tv they had a lightbulb u pull the string to turn it on it’s a cheap 360 night light for a kayak 4 bucks and uses 3 triple a bats
Might need to grab one for night fishing videos
I bought 1 of those and I’m going to try it but the only problem is that in the rule books it says it has to b coast Garuda approved
Usda certified prime flathead.
PRIME
Nice camera work
I always use J hooks so I can get a good hook set when I fish flatheads. Might just be preference but I think they’re better performing than kale and circle hooks
Set the hook on um 😐 lord when they swimming with it then it’s of course in their mouth u gotta real into um . 12:36 finally reeled into one. If they don’t take and run you gotta do that . Absolutely 👍 nice job
Need bigger bait! EDIT 00:50 love the bend of the Okuma Battlecat!!!!!!!!!!
👍👍👍👍👍amazing catches great 🎣video guys.
Awesome job gents, nicely done. Curious as to the flooring mats in the boat. They look great and need something like that in my boat
I think he got them at Home Depot. It's the stuff that you find in commercial kitchens
Dropping the GoPro inside of the bait
Get some!!
Shew good thing that skin is tough as leather! Nice video!
I catch monsters on the Mo river. 2 lb carp are not big enough 😂. So sad my state outlawed fishing with live common carp. So have to use bullheads , Buffalo, and the biggest green sunfish and goldfish I can get.
Monster blues and flats hammer big livenaits. 10/0 circle offset
Watch East Tennessee get envasive carp now lol
Those are just common carp lol. Small ones
I will be out there tomorrow.I would have been out today but my son come and got my boat to take his buddy's out i wish them luck.I show em how its done tomorrow.Its probably time to get off the comments i think the Bourbon is starting to influence me i would hate to get cancelled or go to Facebook jail .You know the old saying fuuuk em if they can't take a joke.
Get er done
Crazy that you van use that many rods. Its 1 a person here
Unlimited in TN
I went down to the steamplant the other day searching after striper and there was not a single spot to fish, it was so crowded with fisherman. Is there a good day of the week/time to go?
Wrong time of the year to be at a steam plant
@@TopKnoxFishing Where should I be?
@@brysoncrabtree3923be up in the creek mouths and shallower for flathead
Up the River near big Creek mouths.
Everyday is a good day to go morning and night
I caught a 65.4 flathead I thought I had the Alabama State record when he came up
I got the same watch 😂
How can i get some fresh skipjack from you
Where is your buddy getting his 10/0 king kahles??? I haven't been able to find them anywhere since before covid
He had a stockpile but it's dwindling
What type of circle hooks are those?
Making sure to send this to friends. Great vid
A question about the Komodo 400 and it is that with a couple of other 400 sized reels they have a external braking system and the tension knob but the Komodo doesn’t so I was wondering does the Komodo have a internal braking system?
Komodo has a tension knob
Do you literally fondle everything after cutting up the skipjack and touching the fishing reels and probably everything else without rinsing your hands off lol
Sometimes I eat doritos too
Why use a kayak, casting is not good on them komodo?
I been flat. N 56 years custom cat rods 7000 Garcia s do there job
Do you prefer kale hooks over circle hooks for big flatheads? If so could you please explain why? I've been trying many different kinds and I don't think I'm sold on circle hooks for big flatheads.
Joe really prefer the big kahles over circles for flatheads. His hookup percentage is way higher running a clicker and then slamming the hookset!
I strongly recommend using J hooks over both of those, especially if you wanna make a good hook set
Those big gold fish will definitely get crushed if they are near any flathead or blue
Two questions brother, do you know what boat this is? Looking for a striper/cat boat and exploring options.. second, how are y’all getting the carp?? I’d love to have some but struggle to get ahold of em.
It's a G2 of some kind. Joe loves it. Only qualm is the lack of storage space
Sea Ark makes a boat of similar dimensions called the Protege that doesn't have the storage space issues
@@TopKnoxFishing been looking at the protege lately but I’ll tell you what.. it’s impossible to find a used SeaArk! Have to sell my left nut to buy a new one LOL
Why is he sitting that hook so hard? We use j hooks and catch fish , just curious
Gotta do that on big live bait
What reels are you all using?
I like the low profile okuma Komodo in the 400 size. Joe has a hodge podge of reels. He's kinda a gear hoe
Nice job guys nice flatties. Hey Marc where's your girlfriend been haven't seen her in any videos lately.
Go buy a sirloin steak.. marinade it in minced garlic and onions for a few days. I’ve had good luck with that.. but catfish eat anything. Maybe it was my lucky day or something. And if you don’t catch anything off of that, you can always just roll your steak in and throw it on the grill lol
Well not gonna listen to you eat
Go watch my 600 pound life then. Maybe you'll learn something
Trash fishermen mutilate carps to catch fish lol. Sad. A real fisherman catches a catfish off regular bait not cut up fins n shi
I'll be sure to use carp for bait more often now in your honor
Always has to be one of you complainers I see. He was using them because they catch monster catfish. Alot of people do. I have as well and will continue to. They are trash fish anyway. Hell you probably eat them. Lol😂
Fell asleep? Guess you're more of an indoor kind of gal. Maybe you should stay on the porch with the old women
Ok super meth soldier. Have your teeth fallen out yet? I bet you could show me how to strip some copper, but I guarantee you that you can't teach me anything about fishing.
You fell asleep while fishing only time I can't sleep is when I fish lol great video guys
