Mark Bell you too? Last week I fished for 7 hours caught one 3 lb channel. The spring was broke on my baskets cover and a boat came by, knocked over my basket sitting in shallow water and I watched it swim away. When I left, I had 3 empty hooks. No bait. Maybe for hours. Now that’s a skunk!
You know justin for being the fisherman,narrator and camera man you put out fantastic videos... Nice tank I was waiting for this video after seeing it on Facebook...
Catching big flatheads trot lining with my Grandpa as a kid was always so special. I know what it's like to land a flathead this size in a regular boat. To do it in a kayak AND stand up when you land it, is VERY impressive! Thanks for sharing!
I think that fish had both baits in his mouth. and he was half wore down when the first hook let loose. The time it took for you to realize he was gone was about perfect for him to get back to bottom and tighten the second pole back up. Guess we will never know for sure. Great video!!!
Was my first thought as well or swam the and tangled the lines at the get go and never was hooked on the first rod that big they usually are alone for sure
I agree. Seems crazy but my friend and I did it with a huge bowfin. He was all over and started back around and up the creek as he got close to my friends minnow his bobber went down and we both ended up catching him.
Hey justin i think u said something in video that reveals both poles= 1 fish u said u was glad it came untangled from the pole u caught fish on...and heres my thought the one u lost him on he never had in his mouth but was tangled or perhaps tail hooked which could explain fresh blood on his and y he felt bigger so when u lost him it actually just unhooked the tail end and still had him hooked in the mouth on the one u actually caught him on which would exsplain the pole instantly getting taken the second u lost him other pole
Love your videos man. We take Veterans and active duty out fishing at no cost to them. Any shout outs or help growing helps put a rod in a Veterans hand. Really enjoy what you do brother and hope you can help us get some more eyes on what we do.
youre one of my fav youtube fisherman. your calm cool enthusiasm while landing bigs is awesome. i got your outro track looped and play it while paddling to my spots. bless
Hey Brother that's exactly why your show has replaced my radio when I'm driving you keep it real exactly like you said One fish is better than none and it was a Godly Whopper keep up the good work man
Aren't you glad you had your Wheaties ? Great job... Takes lots of upper strength to balance and fight at the same time. My hat is off to you Cat Wrangler. I hope Catfish Dave watched this. He speaks of you once in a while.
Heck yea man. I've been chasing the myth of the flathead as well lol. They just don't bite all the time! Next time ill change my profile pic to the one I hung into. Awesome Justin awesome!!
Glad to see you get the 2nd flat head and he was a Tank just seeing the excitement in your voice heck yeah what a beast of a fish great video my friend.
I just love watching your videos. I’m so jealous we have no catfish like that where I live so I fish vicariously through you. Even though it was only one fish this video it was one hell of a fish! Please keep making videos and keep on keepin on!
New to the site and I'm already hooked. You do a great job of teaching some of your techniques and having a blast while at it. Tight lines bud and keep up the great work.
Goin back out tomorrow morning and night will be my 1st trip back out on the water since I got home from fishing Watts bar and Fort Loudon a couple weeks ago. Brought back a cooler of skipjack to see if these Wisconsin/Illinois flatheads have a taste for them, congrats on the golly whopper flathead and keep up the great content.
Damn nice fish justin! Looked to me like the first fish tangled in the other line and the first hook pulled then he got hooked on the second one, what it looked like to me, nice one!
Rocky Feathers yeah I live in Johnson city I fish there a lot, they found sink holes in Boone dam and drained Boone lake so it’s been suffering but Patrick henry still has some monsters in it. I have been catching huge fish down the river some in beech creek
My mom and brother still live there in Gray. That’s where I lived until I was 18. My brother told me about the dam too. I used to catch big trout and flatheads there, but that was in the mid to late /70s
Again what an awesome flattie! And to have two in one trip.... that’s even better. I think it was two separate fish myself. Thanks for the time you put in to bring all of us great videos! Mush better than any crap on TV! Oh and yes I see you had your skip jack/ stripe rod.... Cat fish Dave would approve! 😂😂. And for the 17 who didn’t like the video - why and where are your fish and efforts to show us- exactly on the couch complaining!
That was an awesome video, i really enjoy when the crazy excitement starts, it gets me thru my work day. Now that you are big time and seeing a return, an underwater camera would add another dimension to your videos.
Man what a thrill of a video and a BEAST of a fish!!! So wierd how you lost num 1 and immediately num 2 goes bonkers!!! Nice that that kayak is working!! Keep it up man!
Again to the people who dislike these videos, don't watch. We don't need that negativity around here. Kick ass vids man. It's made me look for flatties in the rivers in Ohio. Tight lines.
I remember the first few video justin started using daiwa no guide surf reels. U just knew catfish dave was his influenced. He was mines too lol Daiwa are the best catfish reels ever that's why.
Justin, as pristine as that back bait looked when you reeled it in, any chance that Flathead hit the front Rod, swam upwards and towards the back wrapping the line around the hook on the back Rod?
Hey man I hope you See my comment.vI couldn't wait to say thank you and tell you this but thanks to you your videos and tips helped me catch my new PR Catfish it was 61 lbs. My previous record was 22 lbs. Then to top it all off I beat my PR SmallMouth bass it was 5 1/2 lbs my previous was only 2 lbs. Its a day I will never forget.
WoW what a giant! That was amazing! I remember you used to fish a spot by a power plant or steam plant, why not try there? Just a thought. I'll watch no matter where you fish!!
I cannot tell you how long that I have waited to see the title of one of your videos read what it does today keep slamming them Justin I like watching you get them big blues but really I'm Coming For That Flathead fishing .big fan brother keep it going💯👐🇺🇸
Love your videos Justin, like it when you show up in CFDaves video's also, you shoulda hung around for a while, lol! Greatt fish Justin great video also, always look forward to seeing you and CFDave post new videos, like your new kayake also, itl serve an spoil you well! Again great fish
Justin, Looks like you got yourself a gollywopper! Big old Flathead! Yeah baby!45# easily maybee 50# Happy way to breaking the new Kayak! Team Oldtown/Minkota. Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Justin and his Family. God Bless
Man, Brother, that is a monster flathead! I wonder how that first one got off. But you got blessed immediately with that one you landed. Well, keep after them, Justin! Great action!
That was a big ole flathead nice catch Justin loved to have seen that one that got away it was bigger too I think thanks for sharing. How many people going cat fishing now Lol
maybe that other fish was actually on the front rod but had swam into the back one? So what you might have been reeling in was basically the other rods line at first?
Great video! Doesn’t matter the quantity but the quality, i had same issues but in my case i did upload the video for the 15lb flat head, they fight like 30lb💪
Sheeshh, that was a beauty! The bite's been kind of off and on for me too. My buddy caught a big ole flattie Monday morning. That thing wore his butt out. I'm glad I got it on video. Cell phone pics are nice, but they can't capture the excitement of the moment like video does. But that's why we do this, isn't it? Great fish Justin! Would've loved to see that first one that got off.
Damn that's one big catfish! I noticed you will measure their length sometimes, but I haven't seen you weigh them. I'd love to know how heavy that ones was.
This is the coolest thing! It’d be easier to rewind and look at the rhythm of the fish’s movement and torque and compare if they were on the same type of rod... Nice consolation prize though!
You may have already answered this, but I haven’t seen it yet, how long does your battery last while using the spot lock and trolling around?! I have the motor guide XI 3 with out gps and it stops running when the battery hits 64% according to my charger/tester. Trying to decide if I want to upgrade. Great fish by the way!
I totally understand I was catching big blues last year and for some reason this year has been tough not sure what's going on. But awesome flathead great vid!!!
I've got the most effective method of staying out of the anchor rope. I use it often. Getting skunked works every time.😞
Mark Bell you too? Last week I fished for 7 hours caught one 3 lb channel. The spring was broke on my baskets cover and a boat came by, knocked over my basket sitting in shallow water and I watched it swim away. When I left, I had 3 empty hooks. No bait. Maybe for hours. Now that’s a skunk!
Nice to see I’m not the only one with that method. Works very good
I haven't caught a single fish in over two months...at least I don't have to waste any time with a kayak though, I'm only from the bank.
Omg I'm dying from rofl
KermitTheGamer me too. Either way it ain’t wasting time. Fresh air. Relaxation. And the hell with the rest of the world.
You know justin for being the fisherman,narrator and camera man you put out fantastic videos...
Nice tank I was waiting for this video after seeing it on Facebook...

@@thomassims207 That's what I was gonna put in the comment section, but I figured somebody else had already thought the same thing!👍
You have had one hell of a week. Winning the bass tournament and now that giant flathead. Great job love your videos.
Dude my kids and I get a kick out of your videos and the excitement in your voice!!! Keep up the great work!!! Tight lines
Best catfish channel on TH-cam, nice to watch a fellow Tennessean
Congratulations on a truly unbelievable catch super awesome video my friend
Way to go Justin, I know you were a happy man that morning keep it coming buddy.
Justin, for most of us that monster was a once in a lifetime catch. I’m happy for you to collect your reward for all your hard work.
Hey justin i think u said something in video that reveals both poles= 1 fish u said u was glad it came untangled from the pole u caught fish on...and heres my thought the one u lost him on he never had in his mouth but was tangled or perhaps tail hooked which could explain fresh blood on his and y he felt bigger so when u lost him it actually just unhooked the tail end and still had him hooked in the mouth on the one u actually caught him on which would exsplain the pole instantly getting taken the second u lost him other pole
Way to go, Justin. About time you got one of those big 'uns. You are an inspiration.
Love your videos man. We take Veterans and active duty out fishing at no cost to them. Any shout outs or help growing helps put a rod in a Veterans hand. Really enjoy what you do brother and hope you can help us get some more eyes on what we do.

Wow Justin what a biggun. Your face was a picture after lifting in the cat fish. Way to go man. Well done.
THANKS for that great show. I love your videos. I would have paid 50 cents to see that video. DanO
Starting the day right!!! Justin you are awesome. Going to do some night fishing tonight😁🙌🏾🙌🏾
Catch some for me. I'm having such a bad year, I don't think I could catch covid.

Been waiting on this video!!! Thank god for lunch breaks!!
Hey Brother that's exactly why your show has replaced my radio when I'm driving you keep it real exactly like you said One fish is better than none and it was a Godly Whopper keep up the good work man
Thanks Donald!

Congrats. Beautiful flattie. What a tank. Glad he didn't flip the kayak. That's a dream fish for me.Thanks for showing Justin.
Dude this videos is an emotional rollercoaster from the beginning
New to the site and I'm already hooked. You do a great job of teaching some of your techniques and having a blast while at it. Tight lines bud and keep up the great work.
Thanks! Glad you are enjoying the videos.
Awesome! Been waiting for this one ever since you posted about it on facebook. :)
Amazing fish. Glad you got one of them in the kayak. Keep up the great videos 👍👍👍👍
That’s a huge one. I’d of like to seen the other one too.
Hell yeah! Awesome Video! Awesome fish!

Another awesome video Justin just got back from feeding the horses keep up the great work my TH-cam friend ✌️
Damn nice fish justin! Looked to me like the first fish tangled in the other line and the first hook pulled then he got hooked on the second one, what it looked like to me, nice one!
Pretty lucky to hook it in the mouth then
Love seeing those rod's BEND OVER AND HEARING THEM PULLING DRAG!!!! Nothing gets ur blood pumping like that! Awesome job!
"he gone!"....Love it, miss central TN...LOL
Justin watching you catch those big flat heads makes me really miss fishing the Holsten River when I was a teenager.
Holston?? Or holsten didn’t know if you
Were talking about the holston in East Tennessee
Sorry. Holston right below Boone dam. I fished down there for years until I was dragged to SoCal
Rocky Feathers yeah I live in Johnson city I fish there a lot, they found sink holes in Boone dam and drained Boone lake so it’s been suffering but Patrick henry still has some monsters in it. I have been catching huge fish down the river some in beech creek
My mom and brother still live there in Gray. That’s where I lived until I was 18. My brother told me about the dam too. I used to catch big trout and flatheads there, but that was in the mid to late /70s
Rocky Feathers they are still there we routinely catch flatheads in the 40-50s and trout over 10lbs and striper over 30-40lbs
Great fish! Love the channel! Keep the content coming!!
Again what an awesome flattie! And to have two in one trip.... that’s even better. I think it was two separate fish myself. Thanks for the time you put in to bring all of us great videos! Mush better than any crap on TV! Oh and yes I see you had your skip jack/ stripe rod.... Cat fish Dave would approve! 😂😂. And for the 17 who didn’t like the video - why and where are your fish and efforts to show us- exactly on the couch complaining!
That was an awesome video, i really enjoy when the crazy excitement starts, it gets me thru my work day. Now that you are big time and seeing a return, an underwater camera would add another dimension to your videos.
So cool that you caught that big flathead immediately after the other one came off. Congrats. I wish we had flatheads closer to where I live.
That thing was huge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats Justin
Oh hell yeah bubba!!! Bout time!!! Glad to see that motor working out and catching dem hawgs!!!!
Man what a thrill of a video and a BEAST of a fish!!! So wierd how you lost num 1 and immediately num 2 goes bonkers!!! Nice that that kayak is working!! Keep it up man!
By chance have you ever used plain chicken breast strips from the store?shrimp?
I have videos on here using chicken breast. The search box is your friend.
Haha sorry...ill check it out
Justin...you must have your lucky t shirt on...lol....you are on it...good fishing video...😎ok..got to go..little debbie time...lmao..🤗
Real nice flathead. Congrats on that fight.
Great 🔥🔥 video as always man 👊....cnt wait to catch my first flathead
Again to the people who dislike these videos, don't watch. We don't need that negativity around here. Kick ass vids man. It's made me look for flatties in the rivers in Ohio. Tight lines.
Oh Justin that's one of my dream fish a big old flat head beautiful job young man.Tight lines and big fishes much peace and love Northeast Texas.
Awesome catch!! Nice to see fish are still that big. Great video!!
I may be the sunfish Assassin77 but you are definitely the king of kyack catfishing..another great video
I remember the first few video justin started using daiwa no guide surf reels. U just knew catfish dave was his influenced. He was mines too lol Daiwa are the best catfish reels ever that's why.
Justin u must try the new SALTIST40. Best reel ever. Seagate is exceptional but the SALTIST40 is way better.
Awesome fish!!! Carrying that skip jack rod with you is smart!
This intro was a very nice twist. Great attention getter. I really like your channel
Thanks for a awesome videshow! What a Flathead!
Justin, as pristine as that back bait looked when you reeled it in, any chance that Flathead hit the front Rod, swam upwards and towards the back wrapping the line around the hook on the back Rod?
If a fish was on the front rod first, I would have noticed
Hey man I hope you See my comment.vI couldn't wait to say thank you and tell you this but thanks to you your videos and tips helped me catch my new PR Catfish it was 61 lbs. My previous record was 22 lbs. Then to top it all off I beat my PR SmallMouth bass it was 5 1/2 lbs my previous was only 2 lbs. Its a day I will never forget.

Right on! That’s a monster of a fish, awesome job!
You let him go which makes you a double winner! WOW man what fish and what a fisherman! Thank you and I will subscribe right now.
You need to carry your measuring board with your new kayak!!! That would have been a great one to measure! Awesome job and amazing videos!!
Man that first fish must have been a literal tank. It looked like you were trying to pull up the bottom of the lake! Nice monster flathead
Man, Brother, that is a monster flathead! I wonder how that first one got off. But you got blessed immediately with that one you landed. Well, keep after them, Justin! Great action!
Thats 1 heck of a TANK sir,EXCELLENT Video,Greetings from San Antonio TX 👍🏼🐟
That was a big ole flathead nice catch Justin loved to have seen that one that got away it was bigger too I think thanks for sharing. How many people going cat fishing now Lol
Awesome! Gutted u lost the first one...brace of 50s? I live in England and fish for wels catfish..one day i would love to fish your river!
Simon Hodges
Come on over this fall!
Never had any luck there but my day will come nice fish
Congrats on the Big Flathead. Beautiful fish
maybe that other fish was actually on the front rod but had swam into the back one? So what you might have been reeling in was basically the other rods line at first?
Great video! Doesn’t matter the quantity but the quality, i had same issues but in my case i did upload the video for the 15lb flat head, they fight like 30lb💪
What do you do if you have multiple rods going down?
Watch my other videos and you will see it happen
Congratulations on one hell of an flathead! Sucks you missed the first one, I've been wanting to go myself but the rivers are up and muddy around here
Sheeshh, that was a beauty! The bite's been kind of off and on for me too. My buddy caught a big ole flattie Monday morning. That thing wore his butt out. I'm glad I got it on video. Cell phone pics are nice, but they can't capture the excitement of the moment like video does. But that's why we do this, isn't it? Great fish Justin! Would've loved to see that first one that got off.
My 5 year old said dad that can't be a catfish it's too big lol!! He said it looks like a shark! Nice catch buddy!
super nice flathead...congs on your catch!!!!!!!!!
Damn that's one big catfish! I noticed you will measure their length sometimes, but I haven't seen you weigh them. I'd love to know how heavy that ones was.
This is the coolest thing! It’d be easier to rewind and look at the rhythm of the fish’s movement and torque and compare if they were on the same type of rod... Nice consolation prize though!
What a friggin beast! Way to go, brother!
Dad gum son. That was a hunk of damn flathead! Nice job and great vid brother.
EPIC!!!! 👍 Loved the video Congrats!
That was a huge flathead, great catch!
I think I saw a triple fist pump!!! Way too cool. So, even on video I would conclude that the "got away" one was larger.
Nice.
Monster baby congrats love the vids keep doing you man
Everything about your videos are great. I don't even know of we have catfish this size in Wisconsin
What kind of reels are you using???? I’m building my own catfish rods right now but I’m really interested in those reels you are using.
Diawa reels. All my gear is listed in the video description
You may have already answered this, but I haven’t seen it yet, how long does your battery last while using the spot lock and trolling around?! I have the motor guide XI 3 with out gps and it stops running when the battery hits 64% according to my charger/tester. Trying to decide if I want to upgrade. Great fish by the way!
Most of my trips are in the 4-6 hour range. I used my battery for three consecutive trips without charging. I have a 100ah lithium battery though.
I totally understand I was catching big blues last year and for some reason this year has been tough not sure what's going on. But awesome flathead great vid!!!
