Me and my daughter always watch ur videos to the end. Sometimes it’s bed time and we have to pick it up later so idk if TH-cam lies to you about how long people watch ur videos. I’m always one of the last three people hanging around haha
We only have the Muskingum River to fish in at home in Ohio. Your creeks are wider and deeper than our river. We have no blues. Just flatties and channel cats. lol so we do the best we can.
Thanks for being one of the final three at the end lol.
@jrodhd6015
I fished the Muskingum off Swift road growing up. That's where I fell in love with fishing. I have lived all over the world since then but I'll never forget that muddy water.
Your videos stay on my tv more than cable and I appreciate the work you do.
Thanks! I am glad you enjoy them.
Been waiting for you to use that carp for bait
Great video! Good to see you down there with Daniel again. I have to watch it in two sessions tonight, but you know I'm always one of the ones watching until the end. Lol
Thanks Teri!
I'm probably one of your youngest viewers but I love when your videos pop up on my phone I try to watch all the way through the 4 hour videos
Thanks Alex!
Glad to finally see you using carp. I usually scale them first, then the Bubba cordless electric filet knife makes quick work of the filets. I cut my chunks into long triangles so the tip flutters in the current. The skin is tough and they will not come off the hook. They also freeze very well when vacuum sealed. Mix them in as a supplement to the fresh bait when it is hard to get.
Thanks for the info!
Justin, I have seen some of your videos where you have had trouble keeping live bait alive. A tip that I learned years ago from a state fisheries employee was to put a handful of rock salt ( ice cream salt) in your bait bucket. I was launching my boat when a truck from the hatchery arrived to stock fingerling salt water stripe and hybrid stripe bass. He asked if I would let him on the ramp first because his areators had stopped working and he needed to unload as soon as possible. He explained that he had already put salt in the water to minimize the loss. After that day I always put salt in my live shad cooler and it works great as long as you don't over crowd them. Good luck!
What works the best is a chemical called better bait , they sell in on Amazon in bulk , very cheap . It made a life of the difference , I fished from 9am to 4.30 pm in 92 degree , the aerator died by 1 pm. Most of the bait alive when I was done fishing. But salt does help .
I have live bait well at home , that's just a huge cooler . I keep bait in there for the times I go fishing at night and can't stop by the bait shop.
I have small carps and bass in there, some of them have lived there for a month now .
1:10:42 I believe the term you're looking for is *Occam's razor- "all things being equal, the simplest (insert action, solution, here) is usually the best (action, solution).
Yes, that’s exactly what I was trying to think of.
Yooo!!! so happy to see these videos go live, i honestly have been re watching your videos on and off all day today! Thanks for the video... time to lose another 4 hours to my fav fishing channel!
Thanks buddy!

Been waiting to see what you do with that carp. Hey there Daniel!
What's interesting is the traffic cameras in TN are owned by Australia, or a company from there. My town just removed them all.
In Tennessee, payment of fines for unmanned cameras are not legally enforceable. They can call, but they can't make you pay.
Great video! I live on the lake and see those catfish breach like dolphins! I tell people no one will believe them if they say they seen a dolphin in Nickajack but they look about the same!
Another great video, Don't matter to me if there are 30 minutes. , 4 hours or 8 hours. I just watch when I can as much as I can, and TH-cam saves my progress. Keep doing what you're doing can't please everyone.
Thanks Anthony!
I've been watching your channel for 5 years. I love the content and I have learned many catfishing techniques. I know several people enjoy the unedited videos. I personally miss the shorter videos. I just don't have enough spare time to watch the 4 hour videos. I'm not complaining just giving you personal feedback. Thanks Justin.
The shorter edited videos are now on my second channel, Kayak Catfish Highlights.
@@KayakCatfish Awesome! I wasn't aware of a second channel. I've already subscribed to the highlights channel. Thanks for the response. I look forward to the content.
I'm glad to see you still fishing for a living. My wife got sick so seems like I haven't had the time or want to go in a few years. Hopefully everything is going well for the kayak catfishing. I am going to try to relearn it all again. We will see how it goes.
Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope she is doing well now.
I started watching your video at like 3am ish. Then after 10 minutes Justin, you motivated me to get out on the Housatonic River. Glad you did! Caught a few fun size channel cats. I know you do not like them however they get up to 30-35 pounds regardless of the state record.
I appreciate it!
Glad you had a good trip!
Hey Justin I like your take on kayak models. I got an old town sportsman pdl 120 and love it. I have no need for a motor and it would be a waste for me but what’s your take on the old town auto pilot. Sorry if you’ve touched on this before and I missed it.
The autopilot was the most stable kayak I have ever been in. I didn’t have a great experience with the motor which is ultimately why I sold it
@@KayakCatfish thanks for the info. In the stores it’s always about sales and you don’t get a lot of negative feedback. I was never right place/time to demo one but we do make the trip to Knoxville to River Sports Outfitters when we can cause the people there are very helpful.
HECH YEAH JUSTIN..WATCHED THE VIDEO YESTERDAY..THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!
I never ….. I never laughed so much thanks I needed it .
UNMANNED Cameras are unconstitutional in Tennessee. Representative Andy Holt, District 76, got that handled. Great guy!
He is the only politician in Tennessee history that actually done something for the people
Another great video
Challenge for ya Justin, dip your cut bait in Sweet Anis Oil . Use to use it trot line bait on the 60’s
The part where you said there is people sleeping I was sleeping when it started and woke up with it on and still watched it
We see Daniel so often I am thinking him more as family than guest
Great video!! Get you a good serrated knife for cutting up those carp. It will save you a lot of time. I used the Dexter 8 inch Sofgrip Tiger Edge and i can knock out a pile of carp quickly.
1:56:10 The man is on a roll! 🤣
Hey Brother😂lmfao. Not a hulkamaniac?!Great show partner!You kill me man!😂
I was more into the Ultimate Warrior at that age lol
@@KayakCatfish oh yeah! Loved some Vonerichs when I was a kid🤙🏻👍🏻🤟🏻
Nice! I like carp for cut bait too, mainly silver, no big scales to fool with. Good video
Hey Justin, I’m sure you already know this, but I’m filling those carp. You definitely need an electric fillet, knife and a lot of blades. If not a carpenter saw.😊
You will get em next time 😁
My wife and I took a trip to Idaho to visit family. We went out to the Snake River Sunday afternoon with her neice and her friend. Threw the bait into the water let it hit the bottom and handed it over to her neices friend. From the time I handed it off a 8.5 flathead hit the line and took us 20 minutes to get it in.
I laughed so hard when u said, "hey Alexa, order a kayak catfish t shirt"
Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to get me any more shirt orders lol
I love to use carp as bait I just scale them and then cut them up on the water. Some of the best stuff for big blues 👌👍
Cool long video
great video. a few fish but lots of smack talk lol. stay safe.
Heck yes, always good to hear Nickajack
Idk what the hell Daniel’s doing got me dying🤣
Quickest way to fillet a common carp is to scale it first. Seems unnecessary for bait but it speeds up the whole process by a lot. Also saves you knives from blunting on the scales when you cut the fillets.
At 1:56:06 at your left in 35 to 42 ft water there's a good size mussel bed really good this time of year
Thanks for the info!
Justin, I love you and your channel. The last time I couldn't watch your full video was the same situation as today's. I just can't watch a video where all I can understand is one person, you in the conservation. Sorry, catch you next time😢😢
The audio with multiple people has been a challenge. I’ll get it dialed in soon.
Justin I enjoy watching your videos thank you for putting yourself out there. I notice your seat is higher than the usual seat I have searched for them with no luck. How about some suggestions
I actually wish the seat on that kayak was higher. I added some cushions to it to raise me another couple inches.
I’m gonna be trolling this Saturday with your dragon rig and your fly, while bass fishing a Texas rig
Totally agree on other people calling me “brother.”
We go to East TN almost every year. Trying to convince the family to camp on Lake Nicojack instead.
About dang time you use them nasty old carp lol. I hope you catch some monsters in the near future brother
Awesome video man 🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🎣🎣👍👍
Odd things in Chattanooga? You will have to ask Tellie about "The Doll Head Man" next time you see us!!
I’ll be honest I like the mic better for me personally. But that’s only because I listen on my truck like a podcast but I hear the wind bad. But on my phone I it’s not bad at all.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks!
Thank you so much! It is much appreciated.
@@KayakCatfish thank you ……. As a disabled cop with horrible debilitating PTSD, I’m usually stuck in bed. You and Spencer have taught me a lot! A ton of people are impressed with the huge Cats I catch. Catfishing is not popular here in Connecticut. I have not met one person so far that is a catfishing fisherman.
I was shocked when I was driving to find out with the exception of NY City it is as rual as TN or Ga. Not sure if it is not more rual.
Cant wait to see what happens with the carp. Can catch some smaller carp with smaller hooks.
Bite last Sunday was tough
Your offended by being called brother Johnathan ? We are all gods children. I am one that says "hey brother". In Kentucky a lot of people say it too . Maybe because you are an only child idk but love your channel I've learned a lot and do the same thing you do. I'm fishing the Ohio River in Louisville Kentucky.
Growth rate of carp compares to a growth rate of crows! Have you ever seen a baby crow??😳
You might want to scale those carp before you cut them into bait. Makes it a ton easier. Plus, you don’t have those nasty scales to mess with while fishing.
Carp works great for me in fort worth tx strips 😅
If you cut the carp at home, maybe a hatchet and a short piece of 2x6?
It’s pain no matter what tool is used.
What catfish reels do you use
All my gear is listed in the video description
@@KayakCatfish thank you
I use a ceramic repeller knife from the bait store
That Samsung comment hurt. 😅😅 I have a Samsung.
How do you manage to tie a knot with 80 pound line? I struggle to make a clean knot with thick line.
I use a no knot snell to my hooks and a clinch knot to my swivel
I quit getting my nails done in high school and I'm 37. Live in Oklahoma. I fish and work too hard to have fake or pretty paid for nails. I felt like the way they file nails they ruin the real ones. ❤
They definitely get aggressive with that file. I figured it was just because they probably hate men lol.
All my fishing and drinking buddies are my brother.
Have you ever fished Douglas lake before?
I have bass fished there a few times but never tried for catfish
Wife gets her nails done religiously. But that's about it. Those salons that do waxing also wax legs. Waxing is far better and longer lasting then shaving. Probably why you don't see places that provide shaving as a service.
At 1:59:30. I was really wanting a fish to bite 😂
Is catfish spawn over ?
It’s just about finished here
I have a cabin on Clark Hill in GA that was bought in the 60 s the lot was $600 I will never sell it. I'll die here.
Do you ever do guided trips?
No, I’m not licensed or insured for that kind of thing
My husband shop teacher always said that it was the kiss affect keep it simple stupid is how we fish out of our kayaks
We love watching you do everything you do and hope you keep everything coming that you love to do because we it
Love it
Here in Illinois only about 30 to 40% of women get their nails done unless they're really young
Justin you always talking crap and making fun of people you fish with but I bet ain’t none of them going to get their toes done😂😂😂
Me having two siblings a younger brother and older sister it really all depends on the conversation or time of day how I address them it could be hey bro or hey sis it could be their name or it could be me just calling them names sibling rivalry will never stop no matter how old we get I'm almost 40
My dogs name is Toby. I’m sure you’d like him! 😂
I’m sure I would love the dog. I would call him a different name though lol
I though live scope meant the fish just jump into the kayak for you.
Haha! That’s what I keep hearing
Try tipping your jig with a whole squid and hang on !
Catfish are getting scared because of people who just catch 30 or 40 even sometimes 50 catfish and it doesn't matter how big or how small they keep them and they fill them and try to eat them
The thumbnail pic with the bait it looks like a pineapple
Yes there's places that do it but most women would rather do it themselves at home because it's cheaper and they can do it being in their own house
I have a really nice briefcase I will send you if they take you to court. Just to see
Damn Yankees
He needed to sharpen your knives
🤠
Am i the only one that doesn't have time for these 4 hour long video's ?
Yea kinda stopped me from watching. I try to sometimes but just to long. Maybe he should do them in parts maybe an hour long
I watch them in the bed with a headset on. I hit like and let it run even after I fall asleep.
@@Russtasticu like me I’m just younger😂😂😂😂😂😂 watch enough of it and go straight to sleep
Yeah I watch it from start to end
My guess is men using moose get more men.
What is it with people getting corns and stuff on their feet only thing I've ever had was hard heels and I don't even have that anymore I never understood how people get corns and stuff on their feet you guys must have been wearing your shoes too tight or something I've always done hard labor and been standing on my feet when I wasn't doing hard labor I was doing light work my feet look fine
The epidemic of AIDS did away with shaves in barber shops.
You're wrong people that I know that had iPhones are switching over to Samsung
28min
I don’t think Yankees get along with anyone do they?
Doesn’t seem like it
Lol Vagacial? 😅
I'll bet a Buffalo nickel he doesn't catch.
Gotta hold onto those buffalo nickels. They are worth more than 5 cents
Love watching your videos. But i dont watch yor videos when they are 3 and 4 hours long. I see they are that long and i just keep scrolling. I like the edited versions. But just my .02 cents. Keep on fishing, but i do lovebthe channel just not a fan of 3 hour plus videos. Maybe from Time to time a uncut but not every video. It is your channel tho.
I have a second channel for shorter edited videos. Kayak Catfish Highlights
You must stink only do wash once a month , smell like stinky fish and dog you get better sleep if you change you sheets every 2 or 3 days , I use to change sheets once a week until last 10 yrs now change it 3 times a week
Hey friend, how far is Big fish outfitters from you. I made you a promise a few years ago we were coming down to Pigeonforge and Gatlinburg on a regular basis and life happened we haven't been down. We are leaving here morning Aug 8 should be down there around 2 or so. Would you still be interested in some trout for bait? I'll bring you the receipt. That way, you're legal. If you're interested, I'll call Catfish Sumo headquarters and leave my number for you. That way, we can get hooked up together without leaving info on here.
I live pretty close to Big Fish Outfitters. I appreciate the offer but I think there is a good chance I will be in Alabama on the 8th if the weather is cooperative
@KayakCatfish hopefully the weather will be great for you, and you'll have a awesome trip.
Thanks!
Thank you Charles!
