My son had a brain tumor 7 years ago and i havent been fishing since. Found your videos and have been binge watching since. I got my license and started fishing again about a week ago. Thanks man you motivated and made me realize how much I missed it. This old man thanks you. Hope you keep catching giants.
We don't have short nose gar up here, only long nose. But that's how they spawn around here, gathered all together like that up shallow. Cool to watch. Enjoyed the video, thanks Spencer.
My first thought was spawning, but they usually do it earlier in the year, so that's why i thought they were eating something. Either way, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Hey Spencer …… Awesome video ! Tonight July 29th I fished from 830pm -10pm …. Nothing. Then around 1015pm caught a small 7 pounder channel. As I let him go, my other pole ( my new brand new virgin Catfish Sumo rod ) popped its cherry and I caught a 5 pounder. My last channel catch was at the end of May. So YES ….. it’s been slow.
Used to fish that stretch of the river, that seems to be around the bigger ones in that area. Seen some bigger but not on any lines around me. Our biggest blues were just downstream from Cow Town. Went out with a charter friend once, just several friends, not a charter. I got an 89lb and everyone was saying it was going to be the biggest of the trip. Capt was recasting the bait pulled in during my fight, 106lb jumped on 1 on the lines while pictures were still being taken of mine. He was that way about everything, but a good friend none the less.
Around the lakes here I Oklahoma during the gar spawn is a good time to fill limit out rather quickly,the channel cat and blues are right there with them tanking up on the eggs asthey dump them they will hit just about anything you toss amongst them and hang on!!
Way to stay after them buddy!!! Glad that you were able to find a few! Luv how you always stay positive, even when things dont always roll the way ya want. BEST OF LUCK on the next one, and GOD BLESS ALL!!!!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’m glad you took my advice . Don’t just bump spot up and throw it to um. They don’t like to always have to chase . Good mix should always get it done ✅ way to go CHAMP 👍💰
I’m a retired veteran and when I can’t make it out to go fishing, I feel like I have after watching one of your videos. Another amazing upload Spencer! I truly appreciate you! 👍🏻
Bro your videos rock I been binging hard lately. Just watched that 71lb flathead vid. Keep up the great job and hard work. positive vibes and much love from Southwest Michigan. We fish a lot on the Kalamazoo, caught a 22” walleye the other day on a wacky rigged senko. 🙈😊
@@RiverCertified certainly worth the trip they got some flatheads in certain areas. You and a few other TH-camrs are the reason I just got my shoalie. I needed a good river kayak. I been mostly targeting smallmouth. I want to expand my species knowledge and target cats though I seen big ones swimming around before. You will catch some decent sized pike too when smallmouth fishing. They fight good
been loving the vids lately man just caught a 60 pound blue on the missouri after about 2 months of going hard at catfishing. ur vids def motivated me to keep going out thanks for that man!!!
Feel like if I were smarter prolly catch more fish ..... another so true Spencer quote. You and I both friend. Throw a piece of cotton rope in those gar and catch all you want without a hook. Fast water rocks has always been our go too in the day time. Outside bends especially. Water so fast you wouldn't think anything would expend that much energy to be there. But they're there for one reason only. To eat. Great to see you on the big crick. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man💪😎🙏🏻
That's one thing I think about a lot. It's crazy a fish that looks so fat and unathletic prefers to live in ripping current like that. They're one tough fish. No denying that. I'll be back down there again sooner than later. Thanks as always sir.
Spencer, I'm like you, in that I have never see water rolling with bunches of Gar,that was a first. Thanks for sharing sure did enjoy. Stay safe and God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊
Looks like a great trip man, I finally located some tiny channel rats out here in the mountains, literally the size of bait lol. Where's theirs smaller ones, there's bound to be larger ones! Problem is, we noticed there are pike in there which has me concerned.
Last trip I got a small flat instantly off of cut bait and nothing but nibbles the rest of the night in SW VA. Fishing seems to have been tough about everywhere.
Been a fan for a while, just wanted to drop in and say thank you for the content. Also, "loess" is pronouced like "luss". Loess is pretty cool stuff and I recommend going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.
It's all about the experience man. Spending time on moving water is my favorite, whether it's cats or smallies. A bucket head outta moving water is a meaner fish than one out of a lake too.
Hey Spencer! What was the stuff you put in your Whisker seeker bait tank tongue bait fish a live? I can’t find that video now. 🙏🏼 love your vids! Thanks
If you had worms you should have tossed it into the gar and let it drop that looked like a spawning pod. We catch a ton of cats that way here in Oklahoma
99% sure those gar were in the process of making more gar.... not eating fish. that 50 pounder was a beauty! Glad your guide trips went well... I've never been a guide but I can imagine the "skunked" feeling only gets worse when you have paying customers in the boat.
Wouldn't the spawn have been earlier in the year? That's why I'm not sure, but I'm no gar-ologist. I honestly don't mind getting skunked, kinda pushes me to get back on the water more. When someones paying me, it's the complete opposite.
I'll give you some time, to think about this I have my own fishing poles I have time off from work to come out there just let me know when you make it happen.
Brother right down to the smallies this year it’s been such a tuff year bout ready to say f it an go live bait her on out tired of fishin it’s time for some catchin again
Yessir. I've been with them for about 3 years now. Great sunglasses at a reasonable price. Awesome bang for your buck. That's the kinds of companies I like to promote with anyone who watches my videos.
Yeah, that dead catfish on the bank went “the way of all flesh” - 1 Kings 2:2. However human kind has an eternal soul which goes to heaven or hell, with bodies fit for those ends. “If you confess with your mouth ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”- (from the Lake of Fire), Romans 10:9.

You bet man. Hopefully it brings some smiles with it too. Thank you for sharing that and I'm glad you're enjoying the videos.
God bless your heart. Fishing has been my get away from the depression life brings.
👍👍👍👍👍great 🎣video with all the takes and a massive fish at the end
That was strange seeing those gars like that. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
It was a first for me. Thanks for watching man!
Thanks!
I really appreciate it man!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
Persistences pays man! You putting everyone on some big ol fish. Good job Spenc! Cant wait for more
If I'm nothing else, I'm a grind it out kinda guy. Thanks for always watching man!
Fun stuff....li love it.
God bless all here!😊😊😊😊

Nice river blue too on that spot up . That’s a fun size for sure 👍
I guess I'm not following you. I appreciate you taking the time to share some knowledge though. Thanks man!
A 50 lb. plus! Also your grass looks great! mine is all dried out, from lack of rain.
I fish the Missouri regularly and this year has been tough to say the least glad to see you are still catching fish
I’m a retired veteran and when I can’t make it out to go fishing, I feel like I have after watching one of your videos. Another amazing upload Spencer!
I truly appreciate you! 👍🏻
I'm glad ya enjoy them sir. Thank you for your service. You're tougher than I'll ever be.
Looks like Chris gave you a “hold my beer” thing LOL. Huge blue cat!
You’re making a great fishing guide job, Spencer!
Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes ya gotta recruit some help to see how it's done haha. Thanks man!
Totally enjoyed watching Spencer. Sure appreciate the great content you put in your videos.That was a nice blue. Thanks 👍💯
Glad you enjoyed it Jeff. Thanks for the compliments too!
Awesome video man 🔥🔥🎣🎣🇺🇸🇺🇸
We’re been out 3 times outside Buffalo, Iowa. The water is still high and only small bites. Love what you do and thanks for sharing.♥️👍🏼
I'll be over there this week for a tournament. Hopefully the bite picks up.
I like when you bump fish or jig off the front ,thanks for the trip Spencer
I'm glad you enjoy it. It's one of my favorite ways to catfish. Thanks for watching Jim.
I've heard folks bad mouth her, but the Missouri is a beautiful lady in my eyes. ♥
She's definitely my kind of beautiful. Thank you for watching sir.
I don't think they are on the Missouri, I think it's the Iowa River
I don't think It's the Missouri, but the Iowa River.
Great job as always

Great video that fish was a tank , been so dam hot lately, I haven’t felt like going after work
I appreciate that. I'm lucky, the heat don't bother me too much. The cold is a completely different story haha
awesome man. I've enjoyed these vide
Love your videos and channel Spencer. Hope one day to take your charter. Hope you catch a giant
I appreciate it man. Shoot me an email when you're ready to book one!
Spencer, I'm like you, in that I have never see water rolling with bunches of Gar,that was a first. Thanks for sharing sure did enjoy. Stay safe and God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊
I think those types of things are just as cool as catching fish. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I loved the video Spencer 😊
I'm really glad you did!
Ooooooo weeee that's what I'm talking bout! 👍👍
Those gsr was spawning, it happens like that every year here in Alabama. Great video as always
I thought they spawned earlier than that. That's why I wasn't so sure. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Sweet!😊
Thanks! 😊
Have you been to Red Rock recently? I'm curious if it's been any good, I've been out of state for 4 years and will return in 2 months
Respect from Minnesota ☘️
I appreciate that.
I won't have to say it, because you already know, but i will say it. Good video bud, fish, no fish. Always a good time..
Hey sir I've been watching your channel for the past 2 years and I would love to come out there and catch some catfish
Awesome video can't wait till the next one
Thanks a ton man
Would love to come out there and catch some flathead catfish with you. What do I need to do to book a trip out there to where you're at question mark
Haven’t ever seen Spencer get a scale out ! 😎
That's kinda funny. I've weighed more fish in the last year than my whole life put together. I like knowing how much those big blues weigh.
@@RiverCertified those big blues are awesome! 😎
Looks like a great trip man, I finally located some tiny channel rats out here in the mountains, literally the size of bait lol. Where's theirs smaller ones, there's bound to be larger ones! Problem is, we noticed there are pike in there which has me concerned.
Pike might keep them thinned out. Could be some giants in there.
Last trip I got a small flat instantly off of cut bait and nothing but nibbles the rest of the night in SW VA. Fishing seems to have been tough about everywhere.
It gets like that. It's funny how when the fishing is good in Iowa, it seems like people are catching them all around the country.
Been a fan for a while, just wanted to drop in and say thank you for the content.
Also, "loess" is pronouced like "luss". Loess is pretty cool stuff and I recommend going down the Wikipedia rabbit hole.
When it's tough it's always nice to know it's tough for everyone. Truth 😅
Haha without a doubt on that one
Man I only bass fish but you got me wanting to catch some kitty’s!
It's all about the experience man. Spending time on moving water is my favorite, whether it's cats or smallies. A bucket head outta moving water is a meaner fish than one out of a lake too.
Hey Spencer! What was the stuff you put in your Whisker seeker bait tank tongue bait fish a live? I can’t find that video now. 🙏🏼 love your vids! Thanks
Hey Spence....can you explain why your reels are so loud ? Seems like they whine quite a bit... Thanks for sharing
Nice blue .
Thanks Chad.
do you genuinely recommend the Alijoz for catfishing been interested in them.
❤
Love these videos
I'm glad ya do man!
How are those Piscifun reels holding up?
You're the man
If you had worms you should have tossed it into the gar and let it drop that looked like a spawning pod. We catch a ton of cats that way here in Oklahoma
Cool video Spencer thank u!
No more whisker seeker rods? Been a while since I’ve cruised thru TH-cam due to work
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I've been dabbling in some different ones for a while.
@@RiverCertified rite on man! Thanks For the reply brother 🤙🏼
Tight lines 💪🏼
Thanks
You bet man. Thanks for watching.

Bro kinda freaked me out to see ya without a hat in the first 60 seconds. Enjoyed the vid as always thanks for taking us along
Haha I could definitely see that. Thanks for watching!
Very nice
Thanks
Take up bowfishing that was a wasted opportunity I wouldve drawn until I couldn't anymore🙈😣
Another great fish on camera...but ...Whoa whoa wait a min...dude you slept in a lodge? 😂😂😂
It was definitely kind of weird. I was down there 2 weeks running guide trips, so I figured I better find a shower somewhere haha
Dude that was weird ive never seen gar doing that wow man
Agreed. Lots of firsts for me on the river on this trip.
That fish tv is handy.
It definitely has a few perks.
Brother right down to the smallies this year it’s been such a tuff year bout ready to say f it an go live bait her on out tired of fishin it’s time for some catchin again
hey were you on the missouri? if so where at?
You plan on fishing the Alton catfish classic this year?
I immediately thought about the Deliverance theme song when I read your title
Stay safe out there Brother 😂😂😂😂😂
It's never out of the realm of possibility. I usually got the firing iron with me.
WE HAVE SSSOMETHING IN COMMON. CATFISH ARE MY FAVORITE FISH TO CATCH AND EAT..
What’s generally the depth of the river y’all are fishing?
It varied a lot. 6-25 feet.
I saw the notice and was score not to much longer until i get to the motel room.
Lets gooooo
Hell yesssss
Also I know where though none of that crappy ass stuff I love the fish.
Don't NEED A RADIO IN THE BOAT TO BE BUMPING!!!😉
Well played haha
10 seconds ago nice
Thanks for watching man
U up by mondamin Iowa or souix
The gar were very cool. I've never seen that either. Smart people can be dumb anglers, right? I hope so.
It wasn't something I see every day for sure. My problem is I'm not a smart person or smart angler haha
Oink, oink , meow meow , without baits in the water you won't catch a sow
Haha I like that one
Those kitties would eat a kitty
That would be one heck of a sight. Even cooler than the gar.
@@RiverCertified a catfish bait that smells like 8 cans of shark shit , will catch 80pounders. Koolaid kitties
1hour gang👇
Love you guys. Thanks for watching!
Does Waterland glasses sponsor you? JUST CURIOUS. They sponsor a few TH-camrs.
Yessir. I've been with them for about 3 years now. Great sunglasses at a reasonable price. Awesome bang for your buck. That's the kinds of companies I like to promote with anyone who watches my videos.
