My 4yr old son caught a big toad and convinced me to keep him in a tank. We've been catching bettles, rolly pollies, wasps and also worms. But the worms were catching in our mulch are like nothing I've ever seen. They are very long and skinny, and they jump and bounce around like a nightcrawler on meth. I've been collecting them for bait, but I honestly think I found a new species of worm. They're like little snakes, on steroids, it's pretty awesome. Mr. Hopper loves them too.
I know when the cats aren't biting I always take out the trusty can of corn and check to see if there are some ole rust bucket carp. Catching a couple 20lb carp is a good way to pass time until the fish you want start hitting.
Now that’s some river certified dedication right there!! Thanks for sticking it out. As always great video. Baseball is back on the 24th of July I’m kinda looking forward to it. Turn on the ball game and do some fishing is my plan!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You're on a lake that is very close to where I live. It's awesome seeing you fish my area. Also you and Josh collaborating always makes a great video. Thank you.
I always like the video before I even watch it You better keep the quality up cause it’s going to be a dark day when I have to take it it away lol awesome videos bro
Wife and I were waiting to see the turtle start rolling down the bank,back into the water,like the time you and Josh had that one roll down the dam end over end. When Sabrina "wife" and I watched that,we both laughed so hard,we kept skipping back 10 seconds to watch it again and,it just didn't get old...
Always an entertaining time watching your videos. Keep making I'll keep watching them. Your fastly becoming one of my favorite to watch and I only watch a couple of guys.
👌👍 first. Am I cool too? Lol! It's that lucky hat that does it for you haha 🎣⚾ love those little cheap bobbers for panfish and bait because you can adjust it however deep and don't have to fool with bobber stops
Well hell. Nice to see stash man damn there. Sucks he didn't stick around and wait it out. I enjoy when y'all fish. I makes for a good time. 🤙 Hell yeah dude that was a nice flathead.🤙
LOL" Love fishin withya bro, and here's the reasons just tobe clear, (Your a Laugh a Minute) Have (no complaints) Going that (Extra Mile) for Heven Sake, And (Your Love For Fishin) That no-one can Fake (Thank you brother) Stay Safe, and Keep on Fishin because, You are definitely ("RIVER CERTIFIED")
When you got to that spot I was like “that spot looks suspiciously like the one josh has been at lately” then a few min later he shows up 😂 good spot for cats
Little trick that always works with bait fish that dont want to bite. Freeline your worm no weight and no bobber. Use a big piece of worm slide up over your small hook onto the line for more casting distance. They will choke it everytime. You'll get alot more bites. The bait will sink so slow you dont have to worry about snagging on bottom or anything.
If not you have to come out my way and fish! There's MONSTER FLAT HEADS in the lake. Game warden said or 5,000 flat heads where put in there to keep down the white perch they threw in. Lol! It happens 🤷♂️
Heck yeah Spencer, I’d probably fish in any weather too for a Flathead or two! lol! Come to think, I have fished in some pretty gnarly weather for flatheads, it was fishing at a few different paylakes whenever a daggone storm blew up! But to me it seems like they go to biting just before a storm and when the storm is on top of you! Anyways, good deal buddy!
Thank.s for another great vid i know ya work hard to keep them coming..i been wanting a whisker seeker lighted float but there out of them going to get two when they get them in..cheer.s ron
Went out catfishing a few day's ago and ended up breaking one of my best rod's. Damn 62in gar jumped at shore, the line wrapped around the tip and it made a run and snapped it right off. Still was able to land it but that's what big fish do sometimes. I need to move around more, the flatheads just haven't been in their usual spots for me this year.
@@RiverCertified the floods moved alot of the wood out of the hole's I fish. And I have only caught 1 gar in my life until this year, for some reason I can't seem to keep em off my cutbait and livebait which mostly consists of bluegill redhorse suckers and the occasional drum. I haven't found any small bullheads either, all the one's I've caught have been in the 12 to 16in range and I've been eating those.
I've noticed the fishing gets really good right on the edge of a storm system.. I notice I'll catch more fish during those conditions than any other day
Brother, you have a good mind set! If you ever want to road trip east we have fat cats in Virginia and a secret, 15 lb plus snakehead, they're delicious.nice weather 😆
I was cooking with ginger earlier and thought to see if you posted a new video....I was right and not disappointed....*slightly sharts from laughing at my own joke*
Well Spencer trying the new game of bluebell slip and slide ! Chuck the heads in and ground bait an area and drop a bait in for the turtle's or turd slurpers. I was surprised Josh slipped off early he fishes through all sorts of Chit! But proffs for sticking it out and getting a breakfast double!
River Certified - What length of rod do you typically use for your flathead setup? I just bought the Whisker Seeker 9 and a half foot rod (per your recommendation, thank you) and it seems a bit excessive haha.
I use both. Got 2 7'6" and a 9'6" out right now. I feel like I have more line control in current from the bank with the longer one cuz I can keep my line elevated up higher.
@@RiverCertified it even catches venison?! piscifun just keeps exceeding my expectations. Glad you n the truck survived! So i can still selfishly watch river certified videos. Jk glad for feal tho.
That’s prob being broken must’ve sucked, and I thought that spot looked familiar as typing this I hear pig patrol is coming, you two make a good video👍🏼
R u on nebraska cause that kinda looks like the spot where Josh went swimming for a catfish but then him and boo caught some nice ones if it is he sure winked out your the man stay safe as always.lived the vid and thanks for answering all the notes
Hey, Spencer where you fishing in Iowa, or Nebraska? That spot looks familiar but it's in Ne. Lol! I have a spot you will love but it's in Nebraska! People have caught flat heads out of the lake that weighed over 80 lbs. You interested?
I dont share locations on the internet. Just want to be considerate of the locals who fish those waters a lot. Shoot me a message on Facebook or IG. Im always interested in big fish. Not a huge fan of lake fishing tho.
Spencer does whisker seeker rods come with glow in the dark tips? Or did ya put tape on em or something? Already sold on buying a cpl but that might just make me clickity click click the order button!
Nice channels Spence, and great flattie, how do you get your views and subscribers up I have some great catfish videos might begin to work on my channel again
Wait just realized something, you're right handed but your spinner is set up for left handed? Is that common i got a buddy that does that, but I always swap em to the right.
I wish I could say I slipped on a bluegill head when I fell on the rocks. Just trying to release a small flaty and down I went back first into the rocks.
@@DingerOutdoors sounds about right. I try my best to hide spots for local guys like you, but this one was tough. Im genuinely sorry man. Id be annoyed if I was in your shoes.
I haven't overcome my bad luck yet. I broke my $100 bait casting rod and my $20 bluegill rod in a 5 minute time span anf havent caught and thing in 5 trips in lakes I always catch fish in..
“Just about slipped on a bluegill head”- now that’s pretty river certified
Yessir😁
Yes
Any thoughts on chicken livers for us people who live where fresh water cats only get about 8-12 pounds … ( Connecticut )

I honestly loved reading that. Im assuming those worms are red wigglers. Real good for catch sunfish
The Flathead gods are shining down on you for sure. Those spawner male channels are cool looking for sure. Great video
They definitely were that day! Thank you sir!
I know when the cats aren't biting I always take out the trusty can of corn and check to see if there are some ole rust bucket carp. Catching a couple 20lb carp is a good way to pass time until the fish you want start hitting.
Nice fish Spencer, take those blessings and be thankful for what you catch.
Absolutely! Everytime!
Much respect spence i woulda stayed as well. Poor stache had to dip lol. Keep em coming...
I didn't have too many options at that point haha. Glad ya get a kick out of them!
Now that’s some river certified dedication right there!! Thanks for sticking it out. As always great video. Baseball is back on the 24th of July I’m kinda looking forward to it. Turn on the ball game and do some fishing is my plan!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

My bad
Fun, watching...Thanks Spencer...
Glad you enjoyed it!
I thought that looked like Stash Guys swimmin hole ;) Happy Fishing!
Get em bauer! I'm glad your still catching em. Down here in the south I caught one nice one on mother's day and that been it
Its about to get tough up here. I feel for ya
Lol when he said I’m pretty high maintenance I laughed cause I feel that
😁😁😁
Always an entertaining time watching your videos. Keep making I'll keep watching them. Your fastly becoming one of my favorite to watch and I only watch a couple of guys.

Very nice sir. I read it in my mind to the beat "Still D.R.E." in my head😂😂😂
When you got to that spot I was like “that spot looks suspiciously like the one josh has been at lately” then a few min later he shows up 😂 good spot for cats
Whats the odds? Haha
The stash had to dash but river certified will ride a tornado to catch a cat!!! Awesome!!!
Haha probably because he's smarter than me😆😆😆
My brush grippers came! WOOT WOOT 🤪 thanks for the very helpful info 🤙
Dude i love em!

Id agree. Those fronts can get em rollin sometimes!

Nice video bro the best part you never gave up .... keep it up
Glad you enjoyed it man! It's a lot easier not to give up when it comes to fishing haha

I never think of it as work. Im having too much fun😁 those floats are honestly awesome. Hope you like em as much as i do when they get em in stock!

Brother, you have a good mind set! If you ever want to road trip east we have fat cats in Virginia and a secret, 15 lb plus snakehead, they're delicious.nice weather 😆
I want to head down there bad. Its too far ita so far away. I really appreciate the invite tho!
Dude! I was on that spot last night! Nuthin... I’ll be back tomorrow! And that snapping turtle likes to sniff my live bucket
Good luck man!
Murphy's law sucks follows me around too! Lol!
You arent' alone haha
Dude now that is my kind of dedication! You don't get the big ones unless you put in the time.
Amen to that haha
I was cooking with ginger earlier and thought to see if you posted a new video....I was right and not disappointed....*slightly sharts from laughing at my own joke*
I will definitely laugh with you🤣🤣🤣

@@RiverCertified bloody spell checker should have been blue Gill pmsl
Does a drum make you swamp certified lol J/K love your show man.
I vote yes😁 glad you enjoyed it!
I'm your thousand like holy cow gotta love these videos because even when you do get wet you catch a double lol

Nice work brother.
Thanks dude 😁

1st Flathead. 3rd catfish. 17lb from a live green sunfish.
Youre spoiled 😆
How do you like that Piscifun spinning rod???? I have the matching casting rod and i love it!
I honestly really liked it. Unfortunately it snapped when I slammed on the breaks right before I hit a deer. Luckily the truck is still drivable.
@@RiverCertified it even catches venison?! piscifun just keeps exceeding my expectations. Glad you n the truck survived! So i can still selfishly watch river certified videos. Jk glad for feal tho.
This guy is a G ! This is true dedication ! Lol 😁
I just really like fishing haha
@@RiverCertified Hell yeah man ! Me too. Lol
Well Spencer you are a dedicated fisherman 😊
If I'm nothing else, I'll agree with that one. Too dumb to quit lots of times haha
Another great video!
Thank you!
That’s prob being broken must’ve sucked, and I thought that spot looked familiar as typing this I hear pig patrol is coming, you two make a good video👍🏼
Just part of life on the river. Ol Josh is honestly a good dude
R u on nebraska cause that kinda looks like the spot where Josh went swimming for a catfish but then him and boo caught some nice ones if it is he sure winked out your the man stay safe as always.lived the vid and thanks for answering all the notes
I appreciate all the comments and kind words 😁 as a rule, I never share location online tho. Nothing personal.
Tornado certified...... I love spots like that minus the windage...
Haha not if I can help itn
Do you catch the bullheads that you use on the river. If so can you give me any tips?
Hey pal, untested on getn sum of those w/s bobbers. How much bait,and lead weight can they hold?
They have 4 different sizes based on how much weight you want to use. Check em out at www.whiskerseeker.com
The "stache bators" flat head hole!!!!
That's what I get commenting before the end of the video, guess who shows up?? 🤣🤣
Top level observational skills my dude😁
Hey, Spencer where you fishing in Iowa, or Nebraska?
That spot looks familiar but it's in Ne. Lol!
I have a spot you will love but it's in Nebraska!
People have caught flat heads out of the lake that weighed over 80 lbs.
You interested?
I dont share locations on the internet. Just want to be considerate of the locals who fish those waters a lot. Shoot me a message on Facebook or IG. Im always interested in big fish. Not a huge fan of lake fishing tho.
great video. do you give up? never. l would like to fish with you, but the bad luck l have is best l just watch you lol. stay safe.
Haha I hope to get a guide service going next year. We could definitely try to break the bad luck!
Josh is such a baby. But, then he has Boo to go home and talk about fishin'.
Good stuff man
Glad ya enjoyed it!
Takes a brave man to fish those winds/rain!.... or a stupid one 😂🤷♂️
I'm up in the air on that one myself haha
Sup Spence caught a nice flathead last evening first one of the summer and caught em on a night crawler
Very noice!
Those green worms murder bluegill and bullheads they lovvvvve them I highly recommend you use those at ponds because they look like grubs
Good stuff dude!
I laughed when you had Josh was actually smart but if you recall he swam in 40 degree water for a 6 pound blue catfish lol
Hey, it was 60 degree water, and the fish was at least 10 🙄
Ol Josh is craftier than he lets on. And tougher than me. No way was I swimming in that pond after the turtles I saw swimming around in it😆
River Certified Caught two of them the other day. Lost 4 fingers.
Sounds like Mother Nature is having a hot flash
Man that was a big drum
I liked him😁
Lost a big one in the brush today. Frustrated. I know you know the feeling!!
I actually did the night of the video. It was just unfortunately boring so I edited it out. Hope you get em next time!
GOOD JOB ! I would had left before it got bad lol
I probably should have haha
New to flathead fishing and would like to know whats up with the beads on the line?
They glow in the dark and make a little noise. I think it makes a difference sometimes
Ol Josh wasn’t about it😂
He might have had outside influences haha
Spencer does whisker seeker rods come with glow in the dark tips? Or did ya put tape on em or something? Already sold on buying a cpl but that might just make me clickity click click the order button!
Nope. They have attachable LED glow tips that are badass. Thats what I was using.
That’s wayyyy better than the tape I use to put on em, and have to recharge every 15min...Thx, another great vid!
Awesome video
Very much enjoyed the video. Good fishin. Anyone know the type of reels he uses?
Glad you enjoy em! All my tackle is linked in yhe video description 😁
Looks like the spot Josh went swimming for his Bluecat
What water treatment options do you recommend for bait coolers?
I like better bait. Theres a link to it in the video description.
What length are your whisker seeker rods?
I use the 7'6" and 9'6" regularly. Really like the longer ones for bank fishing
I live by green worms! They are the best.
Theu treated me alright that day!
Good to see you wrestled👌🏻
are you OK, man? You looks exhausted.
It was a rugged trip. Im very okay tho. Appreciate it dude
Remember me when u hit 1 mil
I will. It will be a couple hundred years probably haha

Never heard of her!! That's awesome Spencer. lol Good video.

Nice channels Spence, and great flattie, how do you get your views and subscribers up I have some great catfish videos might begin to work on my channel again
Thanks dude! I dont man. I just try to keep them engaging
Do you know of any line alarms I can buy for my rod that doesn't have a clicker?
There's lots of them on amazon and ebay. Dont know how good they are tho.
Wait just realized something, you're right handed but your spinner is set up for left handed? Is that common i got a buddy that does that, but I always swap em to the right.
It's more efficient to not have to move the rod from one hand to the other after you cast that way.
@@RiverCertified didn't think about that, gonna try it out. Been bing watching your channel man awesome content.
Man that's iowa weather for you
Basically the entire midwest even
@@RiverCertified very true
That's ok I knew that thanks
What kinda reels you use?
Abus. I got all my gear linked in the video description 😁
I thought u were talking about me when u mentioned fishing with a loser who begged you🙃🤣
What brand of reel do you use?
All my gear os linked in the description 😁
I wish I could say I slipped on a bluegill head when I fell on the rocks. Just trying to release a small flaty and down I went back first into the rocks.

Its a prototype
