Hello Justin, I always love watching your videos and they inspire me to catfish myself. I’m heading to Alabama Saturday with the sweet catfish sumo rod to catfish!!!😎 Once again thanks Justin for all you do.
You are going to bamb then in Bamba! Thank you for letting me be bored free today. Thank you so much for the fishing lesson! Hey my brother, the fish don't care about the rain, they already wet. Thank you for the video, may God bless you and keep you safe and healthy!!
I've seen guides fishing the exact spot you started on! It must be a pretty good area! Good to see you fishing up in my neck of the woods! Hopefully by tournament time you will get some decent weather! Btw them fish keep getting tangled up because you talking about Saint Nick. 😂😂😂
I can't tell the wind is any worse later on so much visually , but I can tell it's a more treacherous through the ear buds. I can hear the wind alot more later on . Stay safe. I want to see you win that tournament. 😊
Oh your dollar store comparison had me laughing so hard! Wouldn't of been so funny if everyone of us have seen the people you described every time In the store
Hey Justin Love watching your videos. Can you cover your settings on your fish finder please??? On mine I can’t see the fish like you do. Keep the videos coming.
Just in time to watch on my lunch break, thank you. I think it’d be entertaining to get a length on your practice fish to get a sense of the “score to beat”. Those 35” fish are a lot bigger on tournament day.
hey man small tip for you on the bait adjustment in Alabama right now and how i have been catching them here on Pickwick lake. 1. one thing I've noticed is cutting the gut pocket out and cutting chunks of the skipjack into 1-3ins chunk sizes. Tip number 2 on how I've been catching them is dragging channel ledges in the main river and anchoring up casting up near fallen trees on bluffs that tend to be where the flatheads have been. Bluegill have been a great bait choice rn also good luck great video
Hey Justin, you're fishing in my neck of the woods. Wish I could meet you and take a picture with you. Even though I fish from the bank I have learned a lot from watching you. I really enjoy watching your videos.
Justin … Great video!! Big Cats I’m up in Connecticut and the fish are finally biting. No Cats yet. Thank you for the videos ! It keeps me motivated and helps get me out of bed. My PTSD / Depression has eased up a lot since I’ve been out fishing. Once again thank you !
I hope that this educational adventure pays off when you head back down there for the tourney. Them shorty tails is some crazy looking things. Keep them rods bent. Great video.
Hello Justin, I really enjoy watching your videos and thank you for sharing. I watch another TH-cam channel called Spencer river certified and if I recall correctly he is in Alabama and also does some kayak fishing as well as tournament fishing. I thought perhaps you might be able to talk with him about some places there to fish. I think he primarily fishes tournaments from his aluminum boat. Anyway, I hope that you are successful in your tournament and ca😅some golly whoppers. Keep up the great work and catching great fish 🙌👍💪👊
Thanks Justin. I snell smaller circle hooks for bass wackey rigged with 4 inch Yum dingers. I am currently using a fly tying vice to hold the hook and going thru the eye twice to protect the main line from sliding into the gap where the end of the shank stops. Then I use the uni snell. All of the knots that require wrapping with a loop seem very difficult to tie for my 65 year old eyes and fingers!
Haaaawwww (Jerry Clower) the weatherman comment had me rolling since that’s what hubby did in the Air Force. You looked miserable out there. If you need an accurate forecast, let me know. The catfish with the stumpy tail reminded me of someone. Their upper half of their body didn’t match their legs. Always enjoy your videos!
Hey there Justin!! My daughter and I have are still watching your videos! ! Catching up on old live videos and raw uncut footage as well. Good luck to you in the tournament!!! Btw what’s up with that stubby chunky small tail looking blue? 😂 fish on brother! Much love from Miami
Fishing you do for the fun , the unexpected and unknown on a river ! BTW I have a lot of respect for because in this conditions its hard to keep it up ! well done ;-)
Congratulations on catching some nice Blues! Welcome to Alabama! I've been following you now for a couple years! The tips you gave me a couple years ago has helped! I went from a 5 % fisherman to 80% . I know we're you was fishing! I've fished from my Kayak on Wilson and Pickwick! An caught several 40 to 60 lbs Blues! Good Luck in your upcoming tournament! From north Alabama ghenley35 ghenley35
Justin, I just bought an inflatable boat to fish in, (and maybe nap between bites). Saw good reports on it. Not sure when I'm going to try it out. My question for you is have you ever tipped over or fallen into cold water while kayak fishing? If so, how did that situation go? I can't help but think about that myself especially with water still not exactly warm.
Couple quick questions if you will, how far back do you let your line out? Is it according to how deep? Lastly, when tying your circle hook, how do you get it to cinch good and tight? Another awesome video!
Justin I believe that those were hybrids actual Blue/Channel blends. What gives them away is the short Anal Ray Fin, because you know that a True Blue Catfish AKA “Ictalurus furcatus” , has an elongated A.R.F, as opposed to the Channel Catfish AKA “Ictalurus punctatus” which has the more stubbier Anal Ray Fin. What are your thoughts, but as usual awesome video really appreciate your content, and I thought you were gonna pull a Santee Cooper Reservoir and get em from the Bank killing two Birds with one stone. Because you’ve got a great chance to catch whatever the effective baits are right there in some of those areas like that bank area on Santee cooper. Justin i’m not familiar with the tournament rules but if you’re able to keep you a sniping rod and rig on the kayak with you and use it without being penalized absolutely keep it with you, just in case you see Fish higher up in the water column. Be blessed Brother and success to you on the Tournament. Martin & Angela
Hey Justin. Can I ask you what program you use to get started fishing catfish tournaments. I use fishing chaos and tourneyX and I haven't seen the catfish tournaments listed
@@KayakCatfish Have been in the woods before and you could hear it coming through the trees and when driving be out west where its really flat seeing it coming at you. The strangest time was looking out the window and seeing it but driving parallel to it and not getting rained on.
I gave the video a like, but it was a struggle. Those blunt-tailed cats you made fun of are unfortunate mutants, poisoned by the radioactive isotopes that washed down the river from East Tennessee. It is otherwise known as Agent Orange. Give your Alabama followers a heads up next time you mosey down this way and we'll send the jet ski mafia to keep you company : ) Always enjoy your videos. By the way, the coach that replaced Saban has like a 90% winning percentage. We ain't going nowhere.
You should have received a tracking number from Catfish Sumo. If you didn’t, reach out to their customer service and I’m sure they can track the package down.
Justin i left a comment with a phone number explaining everything that has been going on. Now my comments are gone? If i did something wrong Sorry i was trying to help
I didn’t see it but I would assume TH-cam flagged the comment. Any comment with links or phone numbers usually get flagged because of all the people getting scammed on here in recent months
Hey buddy I always appreciate it when you mention how long it’s been between bites it makes it more interesting imo keep it coming great video 😊
Hello Justin, nice catch today. Those dollar store fish really are odd looking. Great adventure, thank you for taking us along. 👍👍👍
I never fast forward. I love your commentary. You always make me laugh. Thank you so much!!
Hello Justin, I always love watching your videos and they inspire me to catfish myself. I’m heading to Alabama Saturday with the sweet catfish sumo rod to catfish!!!😎 Once again thanks Justin for all you do.
Good luck on your trip!
@@KayakCatfish Thanks man I’ll try and catch a big one for ya!
Good luck great video justin I was fishing Saturday and Sunday and was not even able to buy a fish
You are going to bamb then in Bamba! Thank you for letting me be bored free today. Thank you so much for the fishing lesson! Hey my brother, the fish don't care about the rain, they already wet. Thank you for the video, may God bless you and keep you safe and healthy!!

Fisherman! Wet, cold, but as long as we are catching, we are staying! Good video!
great video. nice numbers of fish. if you are catching short tailed fish, so will the others. stay safe.
Thanks!
Thank you Keith! I appreciate it.
I can't tell the wind is any worse later on so much visually , but I can tell it's a more treacherous through the ear buds. I can hear the wind alot more later on . Stay safe. I want to see you win that tournament. 😊
Being at a new place done pretty good Job there Justin😊
I can't believe you're in shoals creek!! I've caught all my biggest catfish by the bridge next to the hotel! My biggest one was over 70lb
Well Done Justin.
West winds on the wheeler lake AKA THE Tennessee river is very dangerous I live about 20miles south of Wilson lake
Oh your dollar store comparison had me laughing so hard! Wouldn't of been so funny if everyone of us have seen the people you described every time In the store
Hey Justin
Love watching your videos. Can you cover your settings on your fish finder please???
On mine I can’t see the fish like you do. Keep the videos coming.
I just covered them in my ultralight video last week

Justin, get yourself some Hot Hands hand warmers to keep your hands warm while you're waiting between bites. They work great.
Hey Justin, you're fishing in my neck of the woods. Wish I could meet you and take a picture with you. Even though I fish from the bank I have learned a lot from watching you. I really enjoy watching your videos.
I’ll be back on March 16th. Our tournament check in location is at Logan’s Roadhouse in Florence at 4pm central time.
Awesome. Logan's is around the corner from me. I'm going to try my best to make it so I can meet you. @KayakCatfish
Those ol' Alabama Stumpy Tails!
Love your videos Justin, I travel the US for work so when I can’t fish your videos fill that void for me lol.
Dude you rock! Great content. How long are those bigger ones on average?
I didn’t measure them but I assume the bigger fish in this video were probably around 35 inches long
Justin … Great video!! Big Cats
I’m up in Connecticut and the fish are finally biting. No Cats yet.
Thank you for the videos ! It keeps me motivated and helps get me out of bed.
My PTSD / Depression has eased up a lot since I’ve been out fishing.
Once again thank you !
Glad to hear you are doing well
Thank You so much for replying as i was worried, BEST of luck in the Tournament and hope those Stubby tail Blues don't hurt your length to bad!
I hope that this educational adventure pays off when you head back down there for the tourney.
Them shorty tails is some crazy looking things.
Keep them rods bent.
Great video.

Looks like a pretty good trip! I’ll have to wet a line when I go to see my folks in Jasper next time. Great Video. Thanks Justin

Thank you Lynn!
Alabama Dynasty is far from over buddy😎💯
There’s an old lock at the end of the first creek on north side just below Wheeler dam. Good place to catch big cats. The creek is Blue Water.
Hey there Justin!! My daughter and I have are still watching your videos! ! Catching up on old live videos and raw uncut footage as well. Good luck to you in the tournament!!!
Btw what’s up with that stubby chunky small tail looking blue? 😂 fish on brother!
Much love from Miami

Now I like watching you fishing. But Roll Tide Forever 🎉🎉
Justin posted a video.
Get out of my way.
This is going to be good 👍👍
Weather man!? Its meteorologist! 😂 just kidding. Amazing content as always. Thanks for all you do!
Cue that Lynyrd Skynyrd music. Letssss gooooo JJ
Thanks James!
Like Justin all ways said you never know which cut bait tell you put in the water
You are cracking me up. Gracious I would love to hang with you for a spell!
I call my wife stumpy tail sometimes. This usually entails me sleeping in the guest room that night. 😅😂🙈
Hahahaha!!!
That's a BMW BLUE CAT! "BODY MADE WRONG " 😂😂
Let the studying begin!
I bet you've had just about every kind of rain there is..."ity bity stinging rain....big ole fat rain, rain that blew in sideways...."😂

What brand main line do you use? Looks to be Cajun line?
I’m using Catfish Sumo 40lb mono

My question for you is have you ever tipped over or fallen into cold water while kayak fishing?

I can't help but think about that myself especially with water still not exactly warm.
Fortunately, I have never went overboard in cold water. Hopefully it never happens.
@@KayakCatfish Haha well hopefully you never do.
In chunk we trust 🎣
The "people at the dollar store", comment made this video 👌🏻🤣
Dollar store! Made me spit my drink.
Thanks Greg! I appreciate you watching
Need to see some successes - I have been skunked so far this year. Hoping that changes sooner than the weather does here in Michigan
Hope you catch some fish soon buddy
Strange looking fish they said ROLL TIDE ROLLLLL! LOL 😂
You're in my backyard!! ROLL TIDE!!👊🏾
Was this in elk river I live on that river.
Wilson lake
@@KayakCatfish oh I saw a dock and the landscape and thought it was
Couple quick questions if you will, how far back do you let your line out? Is it according to how deep? Lastly, when tying your circle hook, how do you get it to cinch good and tight? Another awesome video!
Disregard, the letting line out question lol
I use a no knot snell for the circle hooks. The more tension on the line, the tighter it cinches.
@@KayakCatfish I usually go 10 wraps but sometimes it’s like it backs off a hair
Justin I believe that those were hybrids actual Blue/Channel blends.

Good luck out there
Love your videos! I've been wondering what kind of camera are you using? As does it have long battery life?
I was using a GoPro 10 in this video. Battery life is terrible without an external battery pack
Just gotta get out there!!!!!
Roll tide!!! Good to see you in my home state!
Could you make a compilation of your biggest fish?
Maybe someday
I know a great way to keep those lines separated. Say it with me planerrrrrrrrrr boardsssssss 😆
What’s up Justin! How’s it going man , have you ever went fishing in California? Los Angeles? If not do you ever plan on it?
Never been there but hopefully someday
Great video
How do you deploy your boards? They shouldn’t be getting tangled like that
Hey Justin. Can I ask you what program you use to get started fishing catfish tournaments. I use fishing chaos and tourneyX and I haven't seen the catfish tournaments listed
We use fishing chaos. They are listed under “online catfishing tournaments”
Does anyone know which snell knot Justin uses on his circle hooks? Thanks.
I use a no knot snell
Stop in and say howdy to Richard Gene and Moma Sue
Hi Justin, just wonder what the biggest catfish was you have ever caught flat or blue.
Blue in the video titled Holy Catfish
Where did you get the red mono main line ?
It’s catfish sumo line. There is a link in the video description
Them Alabama fish like to keep it in the family lol
I just got back from Pigeon Forge. I didn't take poles & didn't have $ for a charter. 😢😢😂
I will never go in a Dollar store again….lol.lol..lol.lolol.
It looked like a white wall behind you.
Yeah it was like that rain new it was coming for me

@@KayakCatfish I revied.my hats in the mail earlier this evening ty so much
Wet, cold, rain, no umbrella. No problem for you. But I'm cold watching you catching all those misshapen, deformed Alabama cats.
🎉🎉 here first lol
🥇🏆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Plainer bords, would stop a lot of fish weaving you a basket out of your lines!
If the day comes that I have to use planer boards to catch a catfish, I will just quit fishing
Tried to identify as a snag 😂😂😂
Good morning I haven't received my beanie hat yet
You should have received a tracking number from Catfish Sumo. If you didn’t, reach out to their customer service and I’m sure they can track the package down.
@@KayakCatfish ok will do my friend
@@KayakCatfish I talked with dainiel he said I should receive it today when the mail runs thank you Justin fir your help.
You’re wrong we’re still gonna be dominant in football! Roll tide roll
Hard cope lolololol
Wish we had a waffle house in Northern Illinois!😢😢😢😢
The one place I HAVE to go to when I get to homeland! Jasper, Tennessee!
😂
We call those midget fish the short ones.
Read it took an hour buddy is because you said something about Saban Roll Tide
Justin i left a comment with a phone number explaining everything that has been going on. Now my comments are gone? If i did something wrong Sorry i was trying to help

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
The reason they look weird is because they was cousins
Only thing good bout Alabama is leaving Alabama. lol looked like some inbreed fish u caught. Regardless, good day in the water. Stay safe brother….
Hahaha!! Thanks for saying what I can’t
Might want to stay out of dollar store for awhile, just saying lol
