I was fishing for bait fish with my 4lb test off dock so we could go out for catfish and caught a 6 lb 26 inch. Ch. cat . It was a nice unexpected surprise. Love watching your videos! Injured my back fishing in my boat and have been fishing through your videos . Finally headed back out in the am after a month to give it a shot. Appreciate all your videos ,inspiration and information!
I can’t hardly catch what you call bait much less the monsters you catch 🤣 your the man Justin, I was gonna ask if used catfish for bait you answered that question.
Thanks for taking the time to make this. Very helpful. Thought on the lost cast net. Should be able to write it off as a business expense in retrospect to that side of Kayak Catfish. Tight lines man. 👍🏼
Man I love your videos, I’m glad to see you have a fun time fishing and giving us good tips and catching big fish your an inspiration for me and my RUclips channel thanks again
Very cool video. I'm glad people like you are willing to share your techniques with everyone so that they may experience fishing in a successful manner. Thank you for your content. You have a new subscriber!
Please continue to show your pursuit of bait in video. Your catfishing vids are number one in my book and a large piece of the pie... but it ain't the only piece to the pie. I'd like to see you throw your new net and catch Shad on video. As stated before, I have a shadow caster kayak and am looking at your videos as guidance. Thank you for all of the tips sir
another awesome video. Wow, just like last year it has been flat raining here Justin. Enjoyed watching you catch the large fish on light tackle. Tight lines my friend.
This is usually my problem too 🤣🤣. I like using bee moths for catching bluegill to use for bait. Normally when I'm doing it, I'm catching Channel Cats the size of the ones you caught in this video on Bee moths instead of bluegill!
Lots of fun and surprise catching big fish on light tackle. Have caught big catfish on Mepps spinners with pork rind trailers. Now making my own pork skin trailers these days since plastic is much cheaper than the labor needed to do salted pig skins sliced thin.
Sweet a local fisherman. Seen the fort loudon and had to watch. I fish norris and Cherokee lakes. And a lot of the rivers between. Nice to see a local fisherman on RUclips. Liked and subbed keep up the good work
I’ve always felt certain people had a knack for catching certain types of fish. This video proves I’m right. Poor guy, catch in’ katfish when you’re fishing for bait. 11 at night and I’m watching your old videos.
Using one of my favorite eating fish to catch catfish while catching catfish on jigs. Too funny. Maybe it was the camera angle or something, but I can’t believe that graphite rod you had that first blue on didn’t snap. Anyhow, it sure looked like a lot of fun.
What an ironic and great video. Your going for bait & you catch the target fish. Nice big catfish on jigs... I've seen it all now lol. I'll look forward to you next video when you use the catfish for bait. Tight lines & take care.🎣😎
Ive been venturing off to light action fishing,never really gave it much of try but did last year off and on,im gonna be doing a video soon on some lite action fishing,reallt enjoyed it!
Man that is a solid day of fishing. Live your channel. I wish we had lakes where I live with blue catfish. All the lakes around me just have channel and bull head so they dont get too big
its interesting to see ppl in diif areas discuss bait. where as u would rather have shad or jack in my area blue gill is the best for big cats love the vids man.
The other day I went for a walk along the bank with my ultra-light rod with a 16th ounce jig with a Bobby Garland bait on 4 lb mono, just covering the shallows. Got bit by a 20 inch drum. We had a nice little tug-o-war there. He did break my line just as I landed him, but at least I was able to get him up onto the shore and get my jig back... Beautiful fish! I understand they are up in the shallows spawning, now that the water is warmer. Anybody wanting to go after some drum from the bank, now is the time!!
Mid as well go get ya another net! Be like Ellsa and let it go... Ha.. Stuck in the house today.. snowing here today😟 and we got 8 Inchs of rain water is like chocolate milk up 5 or 6 foot. Nice video buddy
Guess I need some Berkeley Gulp Minnows! I let the big cats go, I really like to eat the 1 to 3 pounders. Thanks for the video Brother, Stay Safe and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸

No buddy, I’m one who appreciate all your videos. If anyone doesn’t like this type video shame on them
You sound like me. The older my rods and reels get the more I appreciate them👍
I knew it was a cat when I saw the ultra light rod fold in half. Nice cat fish
Ahhhh spoiler alert!😂
NOT a ultra light
Damn who needs bait when ya got Gulp Minnows lol
I was beginning to think you weren't going to catch anything but catfish but then again this is Kayak Catfish. Hahaha
Haha! Those catfish seem to know when I’m filming.
GREAT CHANNEL! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! I WATCH ALMOST EVERYDAY!! CAN'T GET ENOUGH!!
Thank you Jeff!
These rivers you catch qre so vibrant and full of life,fishing for bait even looks great!
Your definition of a dink is so different to mine😂😂. Those are nice size for me
Jaden Vollertsen same
Right😩💀
Those are monsters to me, I cant even manage to catch fish over the size of my hand.
My biggest fish was 7 pounds. I don't wanna know what his is lol
Same
One of the best fishing video I've seen. Could watch it over and over again. Good one.
Thank you Larry!
I personally enjoy these type videos. Thanks for the techniques!
Thank you!

Thanks Wesley! Yes, I definitely need some more tax deductions. Uncle Sam hit me hard in 2019.
That is hilarious ! You go for bait and catch more catfish! DARN the luck! LOL
This was a really great fishing trip Justin awesome job catching those blue catfish a nother nice video for a Saturday morning
Thank you Bobby!
Man you are testing the backbone of that rod!
One of these days it will give up on me but it has been a great rod.
@@KayakCatfish what kind of rod is it i like using light rods altho i do have heavy rods they always seem to hit the light ones
@@waynejackson9374 did you watch the video??? He tells us exactly what the rod is in it
A 20 year old Billy Westmoreland graphite rod (med action) and a Diawa Regal 2500 reel spooled with 20lb test brain.
Looks like so much fun! I am learning a lot from your channel. Just getting back into fishing after a long long hiatus
Man I love your videos, I’m glad to see you have a fun time fishing and giving us good tips and catching big fish your an inspiration for me and my RUclips channel thanks again
Thank you! I appreciate you watching
Watching and listening to Hank Hill go fishing lol that laugh is classic Hank
Here I am coyote hunting the last few days......Justin the king is out there slamming catfish like a boss 👍🏻
Hope you got a bunch of coyotes. Those things do a lot of damage where I live.
Kayak Catfish yeah they’re really bad here to in SE Ohio....I’ll give em hell thats for sure
not new to the channel but this just goes to show that fishing is a sport second to none.
Thank you for the video, love the slow rolling ultralight jigging
Thanks Keith!
I enjoy your videos so much Justin. Makes me miss home a lot.
I find myself going back and watching you and Dieter's old bait catching videos more than the cat videos. Keep these coming.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them.
Very cool video. I'm glad people like you are willing to share your techniques with everyone so that they may experience fishing in a successful manner. Thank you for your content. You have a new subscriber!

True definition of adapt and overcome, i love getting new vid notifications...i cant wait to see the whopper you caught on that small cat chunk😅🤙
Thank you!
I tell you what your videos are always a blast to watch! Thanks again for sharing them!
Thank you Rusty!
I'd be pissed off and bitter for awhile too friend. Nice video. Blessings ~ Deb
Thanks Deb!
I used to use blue gill for catfish at my best friends camp ground and it worked !!!! 😁😁😁😁
Every time I see you use a crappie or bass or channel cat, I get a smile on my face cause I know someone out their gonna be 😭 the blues!!! No pun!!
Haha! I just blocked a PETA guy before I got to your comment lol.
@@KayakCatfish PETA. People for Eating of Tasty Animals.
Dang it!!! I love going through the comments. Bunch of 😭
You keep on doing you I love your videos always good to watch!!!
another awesome video. Wow, just like last year it has been flat raining here Justin. Enjoyed watching you catch the large fish on light tackle. Tight lines my friend.
Thanks Pete! We got flooded here too unfortunately
Great video, keep them coming. I am ready to get out and fish, just a few more weeks till my kayak comes in..
Thanks Robert! Hope you enjoy your kayak.
You always give me hope in catching a tank. My pb is 17lbs.
Just a matter of time before you top your pb. Best of luck fishing this summer.
This is usually my problem too 🤣🤣. I like using bee moths for catching bluegill to use for bait. Normally when I'm doing it, I'm catching Channel Cats the size of the ones you caught in this video on Bee moths instead of bluegill!
I have never tried bee moths. May have to give them a try
Thanxfor another cool vid. Really enjoy watchin!!!!!
Thank you Robin!
Watching this makes me want to more and more try kayak fishing
Great Catfish Video oh yeah Great Bait Catching Video. LOL. Keep'em Coming.
Thank you James!
I ordered your coffee cup. This is my Christmas present to me. Fish on Brother!
Thanks for buying the cup! I appreciate your support
@@KayakCatfish I have forestiers and now live thru you!
Fun video, look forward to the next one!
Thanks Gary!
Nice I fish the green river in Kentucky in my kayak but never really got a big cat yet. I have to try this technique Thanks for the video
Best of luck to you. Hope you catch a monster
I wish we had those blue cats here in South Africa. Looks like a lot of fun! Awesome video
Thank you!
I wish I could catch bull sharks in kansas
My favorite fishing channel.
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos.
I wish my keeper fish were the size of your baitfish ! Lol
Thanks, it was fun
Thanks Mike!
Lots of fun and surprise catching big fish on light tackle. Have caught big catfish on Mepps spinners with pork rind trailers. Now making my own pork skin trailers these days since plastic is much cheaper than the labor needed to do salted pig skins sliced thin.
That’s a fine fish there. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Thank you!
That looked like a heck of a lot of fun! And on an ultra-light outfit. LOL Bend it!
Thanks Joe!
Nice job Justin. Good luck with that bait.
Thanks Jeremi!

It might be cooold but look at him! Big Blue Cat. So exciting!
Nice bait run...and nice catfishes...good video
Thanks Delbert!
Could you do a video of looking over maps and explaining what you are looking for on the depth charts please.
Another nice well put together video! Solid! And the blues and drum looked like a great fight on the ultra light!!
Thank you Chuck!

Thanks Cheza!
Look at that bend!!! Great video!!!
Thanks James!
Good looking fish
At least you finally got that drum. The first cat was a pretty nice one
Thanks Scott!
I grew up fishing on Old Hickory Lake. I never caught any drum, but lots of bass, catfish, & bluegills/sunfish.
Thanks for watching!
Kayak Catfish Thanks, what area do you do most of your fishing? New subscriber BTW.
Good video, Justin...Many thanks...
Thanks Terry!
When you’re catfishing and catch catfish. Tough problem 🤣
Haha! That’s the truth
Dang, I need to do some bait fishing. Awesome video. Thanks Justin.
Thank you Lynn!

Thanks!
One reason I live fishing so much, never know what your going to get. Great video sir thanks
Thank you Huston!
Oh crap "love"
Since when does Kayak Catfish get tired of catching catfish...right here, on this vlog. Too funny.
Haha! Only the small ones
You are the best fisherman

Just picked up some gulp minnows 2 1/2” and 1” minnows. I’m going to try and learn something new. Great video keep them coming.
Gulp minnows work so well. You can catch about any species with them. My go to to catch bait for catfish
I love watching your videos kinda nice to see some different stuff tho love it man keep up the good work
Absolutely beautiful fish.
Thanks Eric!
Man that is a solid day of fishing. Live your channel. I wish we had lakes where I live with blue catfish. All the lakes around me just have channel and bull head so they dont get too big
Thank you! I appreciate you watching
Loved the video - I'm perma-winter-skunked for bait on rod and reel up here in Cincinnati.
Thanks Mike!
You’re just an all around good fisherman. Doesn’t really matter what species. You can catch everything lol.
Thank you!
Great video, looking forward to the next video
Thank you!

I laughed out loud at the first channel cat!
Haha! Little pests will steal any bait I throw.
its interesting to see ppl in diif areas discuss bait. where as u would rather have shad or jack in my area blue gill is the best for big cats love the vids man.

Thanks! Hope you are able to get back on the water soon.

After watching this video you can call yourself the catfish magnet in the catfish kayak .
Yes

Thank you!
Guess I need some Berkeley Gulp Minnows! I let the big cats go, I really like to eat the 1 to 3 pounders. Thanks for the video Brother, Stay Safe and GOD Bless!🙏🇺🇸
Thanks Luke!
big cats are good though
nebraskatpp ok.. i won’t eat any catfish over 10lbs 👍
I've heard the story of that bass pro Billywest Mooreland rod so much that ill be telling that story to my kids
Only you would catch a nice blue on your bait rod. So cool.
Thanks!
Justin we must purchase another cast net!👈This is very important to keep balance in the upload remember I am 1 of your biggest fans! Good job guy!👍
I’m sure I will buy another one soon. I can justify it as a tax write off lol
