Spencer found your channel about month ago have been binge watching your vids! Getting outside doing bank fishing at local pond i use to bass fish when i was younger. I turned 60 this year have had some injuries over the years from playing competitive baseball from HS, college and then semipro leagues continued over into my senior years it was great. Fast forward today bad wheels and arthritis kicking my but. I thank you for the motivation which has stirred my butt to get outside and be the river rat I was as a young man! My brothers and i back in a day spent nights out on river banks camping out fishing all night staying the weekends every chance we had poor kids no money single mom letting us do what she knew would keep us out of trouble. Keep up the great vids Spencer you are truly River Certified my river rat brother! Wish i was near ya id book a trip on a yak with you to catch some big uglies anytime brother. Salute to y'all from Texas BTW Ryan is the most positive buddy ive seen on youtube.👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚾⚾⚾🍺🍺🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
Another really nice Flathead to start the video with. Back when I subscribed to Bass Master magazine ( a trash fish to cat fishermen ). there was a comic section called " Harry and Charlie ", or something to that effect, made me think about " The Adventures of Spencer and Denny ", or Denny and Spencer. The comic relief was great. Thanks for going to all the trouble to make these great videos. I really enjoy them.
Spencer it's good to see you and your friend cutting up and stuff like that my brother died about five years ago and we always finish together we did everything together it brought back memories of me and my brother God bless you have a good day and other great video 🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍
I totally agree with you about the Channel Cat/Flathead comparison in "bait grabs". I think when a Flathead takes your bait and you miss the hook set, its because the hook just didn't stick. I really don't think they grab and hold a bait in their jaws. Just my thoughts. Happy Fishing!
It just seems to make the most sense to me. Maybe one of these days I'll rig up an aquaview or something and we will all be able to see. Thnaks for sharing your thoughts!
Caught my biggest channel cat 2 days ago by watching your videos and using your techniques. Thanks for making great videos man keep it up, catfish fishing is the best!!
Cutting the fins off a bullhead is a play lake thing, it helps a flathead hold on longer when they dont fully eat the bait or setting on it before the run
Nice catch. That channel Denny caught would have been nice. If he were to land it, lol. Finally got myself a boat and going flathead hunting this weekend. Love the video and can't wait to see more.
Love the way you constantly give your fishing partners crap. Exactly the way me and my brothers/friends talk when we fish lol. Just constant criticism and insults, but we always know it's a country boys way of saying " love you bro". Lol
another great video. like the bait stop trick. might have an idea for you to try. I started doing this years back and haven't baited a hook for flats any differently. one day I watched a salt water video where this guy was hooking up his huge baits with rubber bands. well that got me thinking that my girlfriend had a ton of those little clear dime size hair tie rubber bands so I snagged 20 or so and went to the store and bought the biggest needles they had. I used a grinder and took out one side of the eye making myself really cheap baiting hooks. I loop the band on the hook and hook it to my bait needle and either run the needle through the nose, mouth, or behind the fin of my bait depending on the rig and or water current. pull the needle all the way through and loop the band back onto the hook. simple quick and easy to rig up. less damage to the bait, the baits stays on the hook very good and dang near 100% hook exposure. also if the hook looks as if it may foul the hook you can pull on the hook stretch the band twist and hook back through the loops a few times and get the hook positioned right where it is best. been doing this for years and so far I have had wonderful results.
Hey man, really appreciate the suggestion! I used to do that with live mullet when fishing the salt for kings and tarpon. I've never done it with flatheads because it always seemed like "one more thing". After all the live baits I've been losing, I might have to change it up. Thanks for passing on the knowledge man!
@@RiverCertified Yes Sir not a prob.. keep em coming, I am learning from you.the stuff you fish looks very very similar to what we have here in Ohio and it's good to have someone who fishes this stuff and break things down and I am learning more new things that I didn't really realize
Hitting the south skunk again soon !!!!! Been picking up more channel cats then flatheads but all is fun..keep up the goodwork ready for a live stream again lol
We cut the spines off all our bullies before we put em in our bait tanks for a few reasons , 1 so when you go to grab them you don't get stuck by them , 2 so they don't stick ea other while I'm the bait tank , 3 so when hooking them you don't accidentally get stabbed by there fin's . But I have noticed that the bullies without fin s it seems like the flathead's take em quicker and not stop there run to turn the bait in there mouth vs ones with fins still on , we use side cuts or wire cutters and clip them as close to the body as possible and leave the soft fins intact . Hope this helps been watching your videos last 2 days man I can't wait to get a Kayak for this spring to learn on n hopefully be having small river adventure's by summer with friends
Definitely noted. Not many in these waters, but they are moving up on my list to go after. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch all my videos!
had quite an adventure this weekend took my 12 year old conoeing and fishing he ended up catching a shovelhead that was 47.5 inches long according to the in-fisherman guide for catfish it weighs about 54-58lbs. couldnt believe it when it popped up i didnt take a chance in loosen it grabed that dude right up by his bottom jaw he got me but worth every bit of it to see the look on my boys face priceless!
Good video Spencer You and Denny crack me up I was rollin I told you yesterday that the only time my line moved was when the wind blew Went fishing today March 21 had a blast nothing but lil pan fryer channels but I had a blast I'd throw my bait out and as soon as I'd put my rod down I'd have to pick it up and reel in a fish it was great I felt like a little kid I did get a yellow Bass biggest I've ever seen about 12" long figure it to be a half pound pushing it a pound going again tomorrow
@@RiverCertified It's been pretty dam hot and humid lately. Keep grinding homie. Thanks for the response also. Definitely appreciate u taking the time out of ur day to respond
Loving it bro. My only problem is I found you at work.. stomach ache in 5.4.3.2.1. River bound 🤣. In just the few vids I've watched. I learned so much.. our rivers almost match seems I been over looking prime spots..
Great video Spencer. That was our last day on our 3 day trip last year where you guys went this time. Lots of great looking spots for sure. Hope you catch a....I mean..... Hope you catch MORE giants ;)
Thanks Dylan! It's a 20 quart cooler that is at least 30 years old. Got it from a family friend that passed away. He used it as a bait tank and apparently his wife thought I would put it to use.
Just a random idea I just had. Do you know if there are any flathead fisheries that u have a chance to hook into a bull shark aswell in that you've fished or know of?
@River Certified +1 Like :) Nice slob-fish! What is your opinion of fishing for big cats using a low-profile baitcasting bass reel? I'm interested in setting up a dual use heavy action rod for punching through vegetation for bass AND live bait fishing for big cats. What's the main issue guys use round levelwind baitcasters for cats? I understand they probably have more torque and obviously hold more line -- any other reasons? I'm probably going to use it more for bass fishing, anyway, but I'd like to give catfishing a shot -- wanted your opinion on why guys don't seem to use the low-profile bass reels for catfishin'...
Sorry for the late reply. Nothing wrong with a low profile reel. I use these cus they work and I've had em for years. Just make sure you have it spooled with 65-80 lb braid. You want a reel that can put out 10-20 lbs of drag. Good luck man!
@@RiverCertified Good advice; pretty much what you told me earlier because you actually answered this question when I posed it to you in chat during a livestream a little while ago XD
I like the heavy power ones for flatheads and blues. I use both the 7'6" and 9'6" depending on the situation. I landed the fish in the video on the 9'6". Thanks for watching!
I will be fishing steady current in the Missouri River 6-8 mph and some places more. The rods I use most of the time are 6’ 6” heavy action. I like big bait. I’m talking mega baits. I don’t fish for quantity it’s all quality. Just worried a 9’ 6” mh rod will be to light for those baits and that current. Thanks
I hear what you are saying. They are light rods, but more powerful than you would think. A buddy of mine is a guide in St. Louis. Jason with STLcatfishing. He uses the 7'6" mh rods as his side rods for suspend drifting. He uses 16-24 ounce sinkers on them and two hooks each baited with skipjack. I would recommend the 7'6" heavy for what you are doing.
Top notch cat fisherman for sure..no doubt!!! Would like some education on spinning reels and line selection. Reason being is I feel I’m not covering enough real estate with my casting not sure if it’s the reel or the line. Huge fan of abu Garcia but something’s off.
River Certified oh I use penn classic red 209 and 309 for that amount of weight when cat fishing and only 10lb on my spinning reels. My request is more for pan fishing mono, Fluorocarbons or braid and the what reel you think is best
Ahhhh.. if money is no object a new shimano stradic spooled with 10 lb nanofil is my choice. Otherwise, I like a penn fierce 2000 size with the same line. Either I like a 6 lb flouro leader
Been using bullhead for years and the cutting off the fins thing is a joke. We used to be able to fish with bullhead as big as we wanted and I've personally used em up to 2 lbs as bait. Now here in Missouri they limit us to no bigger than 9 inches for bait. Sucks. I've seen 3 lb channel cats in the belly of 20 lb flathead and they are constantly eating spiny channel and bullhead so don't bother cutting off the fins. Just kills the bait or at the least makes them less lively. Another cool vid. Tight lines and keep your powder dry.
My thoughts exactly. Didn't realize Missouri had those bait restrictions. I knew Minnesota did. I'm still gonna make a video of it because I think people would like to see what happens.
It was either this video or another video you were talking about bait stops for your hooks. You can save some $ if you take hot glue sticks and cut small chunks off them and slip the hook through the pieces.
Great banter got to love to buds slagging each other for a trip not an inch given on either side 😉 keep up the good work gentsif it was 12 rounds of boxing I would have called it 114/113
I use bells on scotts st. I havent gotten beaten up yet. So far everyone seems chill there. Except for bikers. Some bikers will bike over your stuff rather then using the bike lane.
Me again hell ya more importner hell yes I've always heard cut em off to maybe that's why I hardly don't catch shit on yellow belly I've got very certain live bait I personally use and catch em keep it up your a fishing machine
Another Spencer and Denny video. Always a good time.
I always have a good time fishing with Denny! Thanks for watching Brad!

You might be🤣 glad you enjoy them Dalton!
River Certified I’m sure I’m not the only one😂
That was 1000% the best intro that I have seen on this channel
Thank ya sir. I was kinda proud of that one.
these videos just keep getting better and better! looking forward to the next already!!!!
Thank you! I try to do my best. Just glad you enjoy em!
I love the trash talk between you and Denny lol
That definitely makes two of us hahaha. Thanks for watching dude!
Another really nice Flathead to start the video with.

No trouble at all. I'm glad you enjoy them. Ironically I'm fishing with Denny now. He caught a good one earlier. Hope they keep coming.
Dude I love watching your videos so much thank you for posting big flat heads
Thanks man! Hopefully the flatheads keep eating so I can keep posting videos 😀
Spencer it's good to see you and your friend cutting up and stuff like that my brother died about five years ago and we always finish together we did everything together it brought back memories of me and my brother God bless you have a good day and other great video 🎣🎣🎣👍👍👍
I'm glad you got to relive some good memories. I definitely don't take things for granted!
Nice flat head Spencer. Love watching you and Denny fishing for those big flat heads.
Thanks Jen! Fishing with Denny is even more fun than the videos. I cant show ya the real funny stuff 🤣
@@RiverCertified LOL. I'm sure that. I Can Only Imagine

Good to see Denny again.
Good times👍
Maybe the bell is his humor 😄
That makes two of us haha
I can't wait till i get to kayak camp fishing
Good luck when you get out!

Cutting the fins off a bullhead is a play lake thing, it helps a flathead hold on longer when they dont fully eat the bait or setting on it before the run
Never heard that before. I should try and approach this in an actual scientific way to gather a real answer
Dude that was a fun video to watch..you guys crack me up need to get ryan with the 2 of you..would be a blast
We did last summer and it was pretty great. We definitely need to line something up! Thanks for watching Ed!
Outfishing Denny like normal! "Classic!"
Its denny!!!! I havent seen a chart video in like forever!!! Lol..... great video man all these flathead camping trips are really cool!!
What's a chart video? Those trips are a lot of fun man! Hopefully I'll be on another this weekend. Thanks for watching!
Denny is always making charts and graphs and I haven't seen him post one in a while
🤣🤣🤣🤣 totally forgot about that
Typical fan here. Just flathead hammering the like button before watching. Carry on 🤣👍🏼👍🏼
"Flathead hammering"😄 I can dig that. Thanks Chris!
Nice catch. That channel Denny caught would have been nice. If he were to land it, lol. Finally got myself a boat and going flathead hunting this weekend. Love the video and can't wait to see more.
Agreed. Goodluck when you get out! Thanks for watching!
Ey Denny's back in action, I need to do the same. I haven't even been keeping up with watching fishing videos.
Life happens man. I appreciate you watching all the ones you do!
Love the vids, Your channel is getting big!!
Thanks man! Keep catching them ditch pickles😁
River Certified I have a hard time remembering to film intro and endings. Im learning slowly!
Sometimes I have a hard time putting two words together. I feel your pain haha
Love the way you constantly give your fishing partners crap. Exactly the way me and my brothers/friends talk when we fish lol. Just constant criticism and insults, but we always know it's a country boys way of saying " love you bro". Lol
If I don't say much, that means I probably don't like ya. If I give ya a hard time, it means we're good buddies. Good to know I'm not the only one!
The way you narrate Denny after he talks cracks me up hahaha I know you're saying it so we know but its so funny haha
And I'm glad you get a kick outta et😁

Awesome catch y'all guys are hilarious thanks for sharing good laugh
We definitely have fun! Thank you for watching!
Least u hooked one in the beginning. Better then a dam skunk in the yak. Lovin the flatties bud keep em coming

Great stuff!
Thanks man! Go Cubs!
1st kitty. Right in the yap. Good job stache mo
Thank ya dude!

Thanks dude
Love you videos where did you get your cooler for you bait tank bud? Can’t seem to find one to fit the bill
Thanks Dylan! It's a 20 quart cooler that is at least 30 years old. Got it from a family friend that passed away. He used it as a bait tank and apparently his wife thought I would put it to use.
River Certified oh dang well that’s some pretty cool history with it! Happy fishing
my rigs all set kayak is ready lets rage!
Just a random idea I just had. Do you know if there are any flathead fisheries that u have a chance to hook into a bull shark aswell in that you've fished or know of?
I suppose the lower Mississippi you could around New Orleans. Nothing near me.
Do you generally put your bait upstream of the structure your fishing??
Have you tried anywhere around Boone?
Nope😁
It's always nice to see somebody catch a big fish I'm excited for you now fish tacos 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣😆😆😆😆😆
Thanks man!
Apologies for my ignorance, but why don't you use circle hooks?
Flatheads lots of times eat it and swim at you or dont move. I haven't had success reeling down on em. Plus I like to set the hook😀
@@RiverCertified who doesn't like putting huge hook set on a fish

Amazing videos going back through to rewatch them!! Question. What kind of battery do you use for the fish finder and how do you have it set up
Thanks man. I use a nocqua 10 amp. It's pretty simple to wire in and is waterproof.
What size rods are you using? I was thinking of getting some whisker seekers but curious to the length you use in your videos
I like the heavy power ones for flatheads and blues. I use both the 7'6" and 9'6" depending on the situation. I landed the fish in the video on the 9'6". Thanks for watching!

It’s all about the data Denny. More data...fun times.👊🏻
I'm glad he can take a joke🤣
Denny..... a guy so great they named a restaurant after him 👍🏻 and I swear by trimming the fins off bull heads and pulling the pinchers off crawdads 😁
Hahaha I'll have to tell Denny that one. I'm gonna keep the fin trimming experiment going. Just need some more bullheads!
River Certified yeah those bullheads are hard to come by in my area the Ohio valley the flatheads ate them all lol
Nice one bro!
Thanks Scotty! I'll be back after em this weekend!
I tried the same experiment on bullheads last week. Unfortunately I had the same results as you did.
Hopefully I'll get another shot this weekend. Just need to get some bullheads. Good luck next time you get out man!
I would love to go fishing with you some day from Columbus Ohio .
Hoping to have a guide business running next spring 😁 ill keep ya updated
Hello i live in Chicago , how can i find some rods like that
They sell them at Scheels, or you can order them online. All my tackle is linked in the video description. Thanks for watching!
You should do a channel cat trip on one of these remote rivers.
I have a couple videos from last summer. I have a wading video coming out soon. Maybe Thursday. Thanks for watching and thanks for the ideas!
Top notch cat fisherman for sure..no doubt!!! Would like some education on spinning reels and line selection. Reason being is I feel I’m not covering enough real estate with my casting not sure if it’s the reel or the line. Huge fan of abu Garcia but something’s off.
Thank you sir! How much weight are you typically casting. A well tuned Abu Garcia with over 3 oz of weight should outcast a spinning reel every time.
River Certified oh I use penn classic red 209 and 309 for that amount of weight when cat fishing and only 10lb on my spinning reels. My request is more for pan fishing mono, Fluorocarbons or braid and the what reel you think is best

Ever fish the racccoon?
I pretty much fish all the rivers in central iowa. Thanks for watching!
Awesome video
Lol bro I like ur videoss keep up tha work brotha
Glad you do! I'll do my best to keep them coming!
Love your video’s. Really a lot of fun. Please tell us about the fishes weight. Get rid of the Cub hat😊😊. Cardinals rock, two sweeps in 2019.
You use your fish finder to locate fish or just drop off.
Just dropoff and structure
Thank you sir.
Do you know anything about the Garmin Striker 4
I've heard good things, but dont have any personal experience. I had a helix 5 si and LOVED IT
Nice!!
But I'm still waiting for the catch, cook, camp
I'm gonna work on it this weekend! Glad you liked this one!
Nice Flat Spencer! Got admit little jealous, lol. Little better than those foot long channel rats I been getting.
Thanks Steve! I catch lots of those too, they just dont usually make the video haha
What line do you use?
85 lb whiskerseeker braid and 50 lb leader. All my tackle is linked in the video description.
Awesome thank you. I saw that it just shows the brand when you click on the link not the actual lb
Nothing better then a big flathead on the other line stay fishing
Can't argue with that logic. Thank you for watching!
Been using bullhead for years and the cutting off the fins thing is a joke. We used to be able to fish with bullhead as big as we wanted and I've personally used em up to 2 lbs as bait. Now here in Missouri they limit us to no bigger than 9 inches for bait. Sucks. I've seen 3 lb channel cats in the belly of 20 lb flathead and they are constantly eating spiny channel and bullhead so don't bother cutting off the fins. Just kills the bait or at the least makes them less lively. Another cool vid. Tight lines and keep your powder dry.
My thoughts exactly. Didn't realize Missouri had those bait restrictions. I knew Minnesota did. I'm still gonna make a video of it because I think people would like to see what happens.
Def channel cats. Fish some ponds with no flatheads and channels tend to do that quite often
How deep do you fish
Already 75 comments wow great introduction great video awesome fishing
Really glad you enjoyed it Hunter!
All my bullheads around here are 12 inches are bigger i cant catch them smaller
I'm jealous! My biggest flathead ever ate a 16 inch bullhead.
2 men one tent
Its funny you mention that. We always bring a tent and both end up sleeping outside. Kinda a defense if it rains. Thanks for watching!
Just messing...
It was either this video or another video you were talking about bait stops for your hooks. You can save some $ if you take hot glue sticks and cut small chunks off them and slip the hook through the pieces.
Thats good info. Ever have em melt jn the tackke box if it gets hot?
No I have not
River Certified yeah I just cut them maybe a an 8th of an inch thick you get about 30 or so out of each glue stick
Gar move my big perch all the time it’s fast and when you go to reel and it pops right out of there mouth
They're pesky rascals lots of the time. Thanks for watching!
Ok Denny is my fav guest lol
I tolerate him when I have to haha
Great banter got to love to buds slagging each other for a trip not an inch given on either side 😉 keep up the good work gentsif it was 12 rounds of boxing I would have called it 114/113
I use bells on scotts st. I havent gotten beaten up yet. So far everyone seems chill there. Except for bikers. Some bikers will bike over your stuff rather then using the bike lane.
I'm glad you're safe 😁
I've caught many channels on live gills
They definitely like em too. Thanks for watching!
When you said "a legend", for a minute there I thought you were talking about Denny Halgren...😊
I would love to fish with Denny Halgren. He is a true legend
1:50. That looks extremely painful for your private parts lol

Crustless bullheads :)
