Looks like a killer day to be out, why does it always seem the days you are not fishing tournaments you always land some big fish, catch premium bait, and everything lines up. That's how it was for me at least lol.
That double with the rod in a holder. Doubled over plus, 26:48 the doubled over rod in your hand . That's definitely a ad for those rods. Great day ! Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see you’re using/ possibly enjoying those Alijoz 400. Made a comment last year about them recommending after you tried Ryan’s bumping. Glad you don’t hate them nobody wants to be that guy. In my experience they’ve been great value but I get probably a tenth of the amount of time you get on the water. Thanks for the entertainment!
@@RiverCertified your welcome yes sir I've surely learned a lot watching you fish and listen very closely to details but the way man learns is by trial and error you sure know what your doing a whole lotta insight may the lord bless and keep you

Another banger of a video Spencer. Since I've gotten older and can't get out to fish like I once did, I have really come to appreciate when I see one of your videos pop up to be watched. And wow, some of those cats were lunkers that you caught today. Thank you very much for sharing your experience.
Starting to move over to baitcasters now. Running a kapstan right now. Gunna have to give those ones a try too. Love your analytical approach to equipment and patterns. Started paying more attention to those things to hopefully get just a little better.
Love this video and channel! Dyed in the wool flathead catfisherman here. Fish the Fox River in Illinois almost exclusively. They can be a bit tricky to find on this river but they’re almost all nice size fish. Keep the content coming!
Fish around and find out🤯 another fine Spencer quote. Bait bags over the side of the boat help keep shad alive. Water temp plays a big role. You must be way south to have flatties biting this time of year 🤠. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 😎💪🙏🏻
Wow ,way to take a wet slap to the old noggin . Dang what some nice cats . That was a heck of a double for sure,need that on tournament day right. Great video man.💯👍
What a great day for the big ones my guy !!! Wish you could do that on tournament day 🤷♂️🤷♂️ will you be making any kayaking videos this year ? Really like the over nights you and Ryan use to do
Beauty double! I am jealous of the Blues/Flats you have down there. A few more weeks and I should be able to get into some double digit Drum buds at least. Usually get a couple 10+ a year. Can't wait. Keep up the awesome content.
Awesome catches ! I mostly crappie fish so this is way different side of fishing for me. What river are you on there ? That is something else I haven't ever done , fish a big river . I like it !
The explanation of your gear was sweet. I cant speak for anyone else but personally I would also really enjoy a video explaining (and maybe showing) your rigs also. Ive noticed you run rigs similar but different from mine. Keep catching giants pal!
Bro, just out there killin it! I love flathead fishing small rivers here in Oklahoma but I cant fish much lately because of work so I'll watch you catch these hawgs! Nice ones!
Spencer.....have you moved to north Alabama? If so I would like to book a trip. I use to catfish a bunch but dont anymore because of my back. Still would like to book a trip with you. I have mentioned this before but if you ever get the chance please check out the elk river. Back in the late 70's and early 80's i guided out of the elk river and landed some monsters. Elk river dumps into Wheeler lake and it is wood infested. Perfect for big flathead. I always used big live bluegill or live redhorse suckers.
Rippin lips rods ~ what a classic catfishing rod / brand! Wish I still had mine, excellent value. I remember I got mine for $45.99 each. Sold all 4 of them for $40 a few years later.
That was a crazy good day. Have you ever tried the Surge rods? Looks like you have found you some really good rods and I would love to try them if I could find them around my area.
Hey Spencer, I’m trying to upgrade my equipment and was wondering what line you use? Thanks for the great video, I always learn something from watching your videos
Nice freaking double buddy!!! Yeah our water is up 3ft or so rn w the cold snap that just ran through. Hopefully the water is manageable when these 70° days hit in 3-4 days. Im gonna see if the monster flatties are awake under a cpl of these lowhead dams close to me. Be nice to hit a cpl slobs. Tight Lines brother!!!
I primarily fish from the bank what would be in your opinion the best rod reel combo for maximum cast distance. Also what are those reels called I’ve watched the portion of the video where you said it like 6 times I can not get the name. Last question when rigging up your set up do you go heavier or lighter with your leader line. Last question seriously what brand line are you using. I watch your videos faithfully I need to go with you so I can soak in the knowledge
I’m jealous ….. great video Spencer …. Enjoyed it …. Had a snow storm yesterday … and it’s now going to be in the 60s-70s starting Monday. So I will commence fishing ….. BY THE WAY ….. friendly wager on the Iowa vs UConn women’s basketball game? $10.00? 😅. Let me know
Hey Spencer, have you ever or do you have any plans to fish the Norfork lake or Bull Shoals lake in North Central Arkansas for catfish? Love your channel .
If u haven't fished for salmon or steelhead I recommend. But if u want to fight a giant, go to the Columbia River and fish for sturgeon. I've seen 12-14 foot long fish. Freakin unreal experience. U would prolly enjoy it.
Nice dub up. Still miss you kayaking for them monsters. Did I have a question though? I remember if you being a teacher or something? Back me first started didn't know if you were still teaching or if you were doing the river certified full-time. Now? I'm glad you blew up with followers last Turn my lock, my mouth dropped. There's a virus correctly. You only had, like, 300 or something. When I first starter watching you 3 years ago I could be wrong on the number. But he wasn't in the thousands that's awesome man congratulations.
Those are some sweet catfishes Spencer…. Those catfishes would take me forgive to bring in or have someone else to bring them in…. I have multiple sclerosis bad 😢😢
I took a look at those rods and I like them. I was going to go with Ugly Stiks, but these are a little cheaper than the ones I was looking at, might fit my budget a little better. Thanks for the tip, and those were some bruiser catfish!
So I know you’ve seen the hog seekers that wst came out with are you gonna givem a try? They have a great price point and are a great rod I have a few of them.
Take me out on your boat sometime fishing with you and then you come to Ohio and I will take you out on my boat Catfishing with me! When I come Down I’ll even clean all them nasty rod and feels for ya! lol! I seen that closeup of your reels there Spence!! Live your videos man! Just hacking on ya! You and Micka are my hero’s lol
It always drives me crazy when you don't have your net ready lol you have a dozen or more rod holders on your boat where you could have the net ready and still out of the way but noooo lol 😆
Boss gave me a Rippin Lips Supercat spinning combo. Not gonna tell him no. I have it rigged with Reaction 40 lb. braid. Looking to get out and give it a go this weekend.
Love it when they keep the poles bent but I'm totally content just being on the water, thanks for the great ride along Spencer 👍👍
Couldn't agree more man. Glad you enjoyed it.
This is absolutely my favorite fishing channel. I look forward to every upload! Thank you for all the hard work you do, Spencer!!
Man that's super kind of you to share. Glad you enjoyed it man!
I’m new to this channel but I loved this video!
Looks like a killer day to be out, why does it always seem the days you are not fishing tournaments you always land some big fish, catch premium bait, and everything lines up. That's how it was for me at least lol.
I think I overthink the tournaments. I need to just go fishing. I'm slowly getting better at that.
No pressure no worries just fishing or catching in this instance
lol well I would say he always has premium bait tbh 😂
Thanks for taking us along again Spencer, some real nice fish!
You bet. Glad you enjoyed it!
That double with the rod in a holder. Doubled over plus, 26:48 the doubled over rod in your hand . That's definitely a ad for those rods. Great day ! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful day for fishing. And even caught some monsters to boot. Thanks as always brother!! Gonna order my shirt finally right now. 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Tough to beat man. I appreciate the heck outta that!

Man I love them. Compact, powerful, and affordable. Tough to argue with that.
That shoulders back sigh of relief you did after you released the doubles had me smiling for you, buddy. Love it
Hell yeah man. It was awesome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah you just a straight up guy Mr Spencer a good ole country boy a true fisherman I learn a lot watching you you're a very humble man
I appreciate the kind words man. I try not to suck at life haha

Fantastic catch today! I really enjoyed this again! Great video and presentation! Thanks for having us along!
That was crazy! The big ones showed up! The funniest part was you struggling to lift both fishes at once lol.
I loved the video, Spencer!
Definitely nothing I expected. I need to bump up my protein intake haha. I appreciate it man!

My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
What happened to all the Whisker Seeker tackle you used to use?
Another blessed day on the water and great video! Thanks for sharing the info on the fair priced rods!
Just found your channel yesterday and love the content! The double Big Cats was an awesome clip! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video Spencer. Always, always look forward to watching your wonderful videos. You stay safe and God bless you and yours 😊😊😊😊

Everytime I put a bait bucket or string of fish in the water it calls in the turtles. Even had a water snake chase our stringer of fish.
My old ugly sticks are my go to rods from 8'-12'. I love my surf rods, lots of bend with braid.
Great video and thanks for sharing info on your gear. Definitely going to check out the reels.
had to wait a whole day to get to the video. thanks for making it great fun. Stay safe.
You bet. I appreciate you finding the time to watch.
Great video Spencer. Thanks. .. To bad you didn't have a day like this one, when you were in the derby. Couple videos ago. 🤜🌟🤛🎣🐬🐬
Great video Spencer. I know that double was a blast for you just as it was for me to watch. Those were all really nice fish.
Good video! Two really good fish. I'm getting some of those rods. This video reinforces the no mullet.
Wow ,way to take a wet slap to the old noggin . Dang what some nice cats . That was a heck of a double for sure,need that on tournament day right. Great video man.💯👍

Glad you enjoyed it Jim!
Do you have all 6 poles in? Here in Iowa can only have 3 max in water. I’m sure it’s different for you.
He’s a commercial fisherman. Commercial license allows 6 some states more.
Awesome catches ! I mostly crappie fish so this is way different side of fishing for me. What river are you on there ? That is something else I haven't ever done , fish a big river . I like it !
Love your videos bro, new to the channel. This was really enjoyable and entertaining, KEEP IT UP!
Glad you enjoyed it man!
How come you dont use the whisker seeker rods anymore, they are still my favorite
The explanation of your gear was sweet. I cant speak for anyone else but personally I would also really enjoy a video explaining (and maybe showing) your rigs also. Ive noticed you run rigs similar but different from mine. Keep catching giants pal!
He has multiple videos showing his rigs and teaches you how to do it.
@Sneeezzyy I haven't come across those videos I suppose
@@andrewrobinson2234 just look up “river certified tips”
Bro, just out there killin it! I love flathead fishing small rivers here in Oklahoma but I cant fish much lately because of work so I'll watch you catch these hawgs! Nice ones!
Dang! Great vid as always! Keep hookin them Spencer!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!
2 leviathans love it. All you need now is Micha and a catfishing tournament.
Funny you say that.
Epic day on the water Bower. Bet you wish it was a tournament day!
I see you using closed frame baitcasters on some.of your rods,what brand seems tohold up to the catfish abuse the best?
Thanks for the fishing trip. Just wish I could have been there to help you wind them boys in great fishing trip great vedio keep them coming

Rippin lips rods ~ what a classic catfishing rod / brand! Wish I still had mine, excellent value. I remember I got mine for $45.99 each. Sold all 4 of them for $40 a few years later.
Tough to beat for the money. Thanks for watching!
what made you switch out rods? ihave been using MED whiskey seekers love them
Who needs to go to the gym when you catch these consistently. Epic.
Haha I still try to stay consistent in the gym. Makes it easier to lift a good one when I get lucky.
My brothers I love the way you all enjoy yourself keep on pulling the scales out of them
Glad ya get a kick outta all of it dude!
I’m loving the new boat Spencer 😊😊
Great video some nice fish stay safe out there Spencer
Awesome fish! Have a great season!

I like how for the flathead you use your hand and for the blue you use a net and lip grip. Blues are some biting bastards lol.
Wow!!!! Those were alot of quality catfish today!!!! Nice job!!!!
Thanks 👍
Heck yeah that was awesome. Gotta love days like that...
I’m jealous ….. great video Spencer …. Enjoyed it …. Had a snow storm yesterday … and it’s now going to be in the 60s-70s starting Monday. So I will commence fishing ….. BY THE WAY ….. friendly wager on the Iowa vs UConn women’s basketball game? $10.00? 😅. Let me know
Monster double brother! Nicely done!
I’m glad someone is showing Rippin lips rods in action
They're solid rods for sure.
That double up was epic. Speechless wow very good problem to have.
Excellent job brother. Heck of a day on the water
Thanks man! Tough to beat one like that
Hey Spencer, have you ever or do you have any plans to fish the Norfork lake or Bull Shoals lake in North Central Arkansas for catfish? Love your channel .
No plans but I'm definitely not gonna rule it out.
What's the reel your using and rod and what line are you using looks like braided I love the setup! 👍
If u haven't fished for salmon or steelhead I recommend. But if u want to fight a giant, go to the Columbia River and fish for sturgeon. I've seen 12-14 foot long fish. Freakin unreal experience. U would prolly enjoy it.

Those are some sweet catfishes Spencer…. Those catfishes would take me forgive to bring in or have someone else to bring them in…. I have multiple sclerosis bad 😢😢
Different a good day for you Spencer four huge catfishes and a good workout for you 😂😂
Good arm pump from those catfish curls. That was a particularly nice looking flathead.
Haha my favorite exercise. Thanks for watching man.
I have the piscifun chaos reels on a few rods they have performed very well. Great day of fishing.
I took a look at those rods and I like them. I was going to go with Ugly Stiks, but these are a little cheaper than the ones I was looking at, might fit my budget a little better. Thanks for the tip, and those were some bruiser catfish!
You bet man. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video! What happened with Whisker Seeker?
I have some rippin lips super cat series rods and i love them, what do you think about the quality of the reels
"Botox" lol. Thanks for another great video. That was an amazing double up! Looks like mixing cut and live bait worked out pretty well.
Glad you got a kick outta that. Thanks for watching!
Do you only peg floats on live bait ? Or both live and cut depending on circumstances?
I use them for both. Anytime I want to suspend a bait.
@@RiverCertified thanks man! I am Trying to catch some flooded river fish!
So I know you’ve seen the hog seekers that wst came out with are you gonna givem a try? They have a great price point and are a great rod I have a few of them.
Possibly. Gonna have to take another look at them first.
What a fine day of fishing !😁
Crushing it. Is it really work when you are having this much fun?
NICE!!! Enjoyed the content Bro!!!!!👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Great weather, great bait, great fish! Trifecta! ♥
Hello Spencer good to see yall
Good afternoon sir
Awesome day my friend!!!!!
Tough to ask for anymore than that man.
I bought a silver cat elite and have loved that fishing rod so far
What your opinion on the picscifun carbon x reels for being a walleye, smallie, white bass etc type reel that you can beat up and is reliable
So cool. Again - makes me wish we had cats where I live. Thanks man!
Flathead and a blue , great job, I'd be smiling too 😂❤
Now that's what I call awesomeness ❤
What kind of reels are you using ?
Piscifun Allijoz 400s.
The fact you caught a blue and a flat head at the same time is amazing
I thought it was pretty awesome too and a pleasant surprise. Glad you got a kick outta it.
Looks like a hassle to have all those rods out but those are some great fish your a very good fisherman good job
Spencer Bauer the goat... Awesome day oot there stud
I’m not sure if I am confused ha or what is the purpose of the drift sock while anchored?
Take me out on your boat sometime fishing with you and then you come to Ohio and I will take you out on my boat Catfishing with me! When I come
Down I’ll even clean all them nasty rod and feels for ya! lol! I seen that closeup of your reels there Spence!! Live your videos man! Just hacking on ya! You and Micka are my hero’s lol
