I wish you would make an hour or 2 long video of all the bloopers, i bet it would be funny as all get out and at the same time im sure we could learn something too. Great video!!!
Sitting here watching with my 4 year old grandson he loves it when you point at your rod and say look there he knows a "whisker wish" is coming! He starts vpk on Thursday! I am sure he has liked your videos as much as I have this summer!
Thanks for sharing Justin. What an amazing day of fishing! I hated to see you lose that huge fish that's never fun. As always thanks for taking me fishing today. Keep the good stuff coming!
Dang Justin, that was a heck of a morning! I've been applying what I've learned from your videos and am hoping for my first Golly Whopper in the coming weeks. Tell the next one that FishinfromScratch wants to talk to his granddaddy!
"A Christmas Story" was the one 😂 although "Bad Santa" was pretty similar lol great content as always, buddy. Love the longer footage. I'm one of the handful of people that watch till the very end so keep em coming!
Was just watching your Livestream and saw the thumbnail for this video. Had to click over when I saw gollywhopper in the title. Keep these awesome videos comin buddy!
Regardless of the less-then-perfect moments of your day, a very impressive outing! I was once told it’s better to be pissed off, than pissed on… guess I’d have to agree!
Regardless of the size fish you're catching, the scenery is beautiful, especially the sunrise ! 🌅 The custom red egg sinker really sets off the terminal tackle ! 👍👍
Thanks for taking us along for another exciting catfish fishing adventure. I think that smaller catfish was angry with you for disturbing his peaceful morning and helped his larger brother get free from the hook. They probably had a good laugh about it too.
Helpful tip: when having a large fish pulling on the line, back off the drag enough to get pole out of pole holder. Or you could release it for a short second. It works, pole comes out real easy.
O man that could only happen to you he helps his bigger buddy get free then says piss on you this is why I love your channel your hilarious and its real world fishing keep the laughs coming friend your videos more times than not are the laughter in my day please keep being you Noone can replace your comedy or your attitude
Still a best of video, even though the big one got away. You had everything else! From blues identifying as flatheads to acrobatic fish to Mighty Mouse ! Good job!
Your videos are the freaking best, sir! You've got me more and more into catfishing from the yak! Got me a 35-40 pounder a couple weeks ago drifting, such a blast. My buddy and I are going to be camping and fishing in Stevenson, Al on the Tn river next week. You should come by and get on some flatheads with us! Many over 40 pounds recently out there, gonna be an awesome trip.
Brah....I had to relive that tank of a take down, almost like the one a week ago or so .. I had to go outside and slam the door on my mail box a few times after that.. I tell ya what's wrong with, it ain't got no gas in it 😆 Great vid Justin lots of action and good laughs.
You are far the best catfisherman I have watched so far we caught 2 nice flatheads but I lost 2 that there heads were wider then my shoulders my friend was scared of it and wen I handed him the rod he tightened the drag and snapped him off I was so mad I learned a lot by watching your videos thank you
Another awesome video. I think we have all been there hook up on a really nice ish an have it pop lose, though I haven't had it happen like you did. Hopefully your next trip out you'll get on some good golly whoopers
I lost a hook last week when I saw you , you said , he got him a souvenir. Haaa. Nice ones , I need to beef up my lines. I’m still fishin in that spot , been my fav for 4yrs.
Great video as always. Yak fishing is a blast I have just got spoiled to my pontoon boat that I have cleaned the whole floor off and made it into a fishing boat. I’ve got it lined with rod holders and nothing is on the floor but the steering wheel and the seat. It’s 24 foot of open floor and he has spoiled me to fishing that way. I get my bait from below wilson dam in those rough waters so that big boat I can cruise right up in them big boils and get my Skip jack with no trouble. I’m too scared to go up there in a small boat or a yak. Also I stay fishing all night a lot of times and I need the comfortability to move around and lay down etc. And then my wife fishes with me And she brings 300 pounds of stuff that we don’t need
It looked like your knot came loose, had that happen on 2 good fish so I changed knots from a traditional snell to on with a slip knot. Had alot of trouble with heavy line coming loose.
great video, lots of fish. a boat would allow you to get to the dam, give you more range and get out of bad weather more quickly. maybe catch another paddlefish. but there are enough choices in fishing as it is lol. stay safe.
I've noticed that in my area the catfish seem to only want to bite early morning. Prime time is from 5am to about 10am. Anything before or after that I either get nibbles and no bites or no nibs at all. But 5 to 10 it's bite city depending on where I'm dropping line. Granted I use small treble hooks and that magic bait from Walmart and I tend to catch fish sticks. I got a cast net and I'm thinking about giving it a try and going for some shad so I can try for some bigger ones. So far my pb this year is a 3.12 channel. That one was fun to reel in.
Another great video. Do you have any recommendations on seats? I am going to upgrade the seat in my kayak and like you I have issues with my sciatica nerve. Sitting in the seat in my kayak now for a length of time will cripple you up for a week. Thanks.
The thing that has helped me the most is adding a cushion to my seat to raise me up a few inches. The more bend I can get in my legs, the more comfortable I am throughout the day
Line broke, in the middle of the leader, or at the knot? Mine always seemed to break at the knot. I have to see your rig video to see if you lubricate when snugging the knot up. If you don't, "they" say it stretches the mono and damages it a little.
It should be noted just how durable and the superior quality of your fishing rod and reels. The work load in the poles is outstanding for big fish. Reel's drags are smooth as butter. If you are considering to buy heavy tackle for cats or medium game saltwater rigs these are the way to go. Incredible quality at a very reasonable price.
Have you thought about using longer rods and turning the rod holders out a little to keep the baits further away from each other or is there an advantage to using the rod length you have now?
@@KayakCatfish yeh come to think about it, it would be harder to bait hooks and land fish. Looks you got it all figured out. You know, you could make a killen setting up your other kayak and being a guide. People dont need anything but money, you supply the kayak, rods and bait. Heck, i'd drive a few hundred miles from Raleigh NC and pay you a few hundred for a day of catching some fat ol' cats.
I've noticed you've had a few big fish get off in the past few videos? You think it could be from them getting foul hooked from the stingers before they get a chance to get hooked good on the main line? Just a thought
I haven’t had any more fish than usual come off. I just normally edit it out when it happens if I’m reeling in a single fish. I have had more doubles and triples lately so I have had to leave it in the video when one comes off.
lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!! im betting this is going to be a great Video...... maybe you will catch that fish again some day and get your hook back ..if he dont sell it on Ebay 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How long do you think gizzard shad would last Frozen I fish up here in the Northern Iowa for catfish and I caught a bunch of them and I Frozen I don't know how long they last though Frozen
Depending on how they are stored, they can last a few months. Personally I don’t like using frozen shad as they tend to get a little mushy when they thaw.
I love using skipjack for bait but I will say that those things stink and slimy as all get out .but I did find a cure for the slimy and that's a salt rub it's like magic it works great and doesn't effect the bait at all if anything its an improvement to the bite try it it works .
A fish that size proves you are the man when it comes to catching cats from a yak!
Wow! Thank you so much Matt! You are awesome!
What can I say, I'm a patron of the cats.
@@KayakCatfish that fish was a large mouth
Man! That cat kept your hook.😮😮😮😮
I wish you would make an hour or 2 long video of all the bloopers, i bet it would be funny as all get out and at the same time im sure we could learn something too. Great video!!!
When the title has golly whopper in it you know it’s gonna be a great video!!!
Yes! Hell I lost a 70 from a bank mad respect I gotta buy a glove . Tired of em knawling on my thumb
Man, that was an exciting day fishing.
Quads, trips, quick releases .
Now that's fishing at its finest.
Sitting here watching with my 4 year old grandson he loves it when you point at your rod and say look there he knows a "whisker wish" is coming! He starts vpk on Thursday! I am sure he has liked your videos as much as I have this summer!
Thanks Andy!
Thanks for sharing Justin. What an amazing day of fishing! I hated to see you lose that huge fish that's never fun. As always thanks for taking me fishing today. Keep the good stuff coming!
Thank you for the video Justin! You inspire me to hurry up and finish work so i can go fishing!!
Dang Justin, that was a heck of a morning! I've been applying what I've learned from your videos and am hoping for my first Golly Whopper in the coming weeks. Tell the next one that FishinfromScratch wants to talk to his granddaddy!
A sunrise early morning fishing is always a beautiful thing
A Christmas Story. Best Christmas movie there is!
"A Christmas Story" was the one 😂 although "Bad Santa" was pretty similar lol great content as always, buddy. Love the longer footage. I'm one of the handful of people that watch till the very end so keep em coming!
Thanks Phillip! Glad you like the longer videos.
Was just watching your Livestream and saw the thumbnail for this video. Had to click over when I saw gollywhopper in the title. Keep these awesome videos comin buddy!
Thank you for your videos. My grandson and I love to watch and I am so grateful you are a good man that doesn't use foul language!
Regardless of the less-then-perfect moments of your day, a very impressive outing! I was once told it’s better to be pissed off, than pissed on… guess I’d have to agree!
Thanks Will!
You make me laugh hard!! Thank you so much for what you do!!! God bless you Justin!!
It’s always a huge gut punch when the giants get away but you still caught some nice fish! You’re “fun sizers” are a nice fish in my book 😂
I've learned alot from you I've been out of touch on catfishing you are bringing me up to date thank u
Your the reason why I started catfishing I love your video man
Thanks Collin!
This video was brilliant. Your commentary is great. Its so funny. I have a good laugh. Keep it up I am enjoying your content.
Thanks Cheryl!
Regardless of the size fish you're catching, the scenery is beautiful, especially the sunrise ! 🌅 The custom red egg sinker really sets off the terminal tackle ! 👍👍
Looks like knot came untied. When I used to fish for big Stripers, I would add a dot of Super Glue to each knot.
With leaders in previous videos he's said he uses no tie Snell knows to avoid bad knots so I don't think super glue would make much difference
Very glad to see you at almost 150 K subscribers. Congratulations to you and your continued success.👍🍀😎
Thanks Art!
A full 50 minutes of fishing. Hell ya!
Great video as always Justin ! . Always get excited to see a new Kayak catfish notification
Thanks for taking us along for another exciting catfish fishing adventure. I think that smaller catfish was angry with you for disturbing his peaceful morning and helped his larger brother get free from the hook. They probably had a good laugh about it too.
another awesome video. numbers looked good and quality was fairly decent. makes me jealous. again my day has been made
Thanks James!
I love catfishing but it is a miracle when I have good luck my pb is only a 27 pound blue cat
Helpful tip: when having a large fish pulling on the line, back off the drag enough to get pole out of pole holder. Or you could release it for a short second. It works, pole comes out real easy.

Wish we even had dink blues here in CT, lucky to get a good size channel cat here. I know how much you love them channel cats 😂
Nice video mister Justin love your videos keep up the good work and go catch some more gollywhoppers for us
Thanks Levi!

That was Christmas story great video as always you can always wonder about the one that got away that happens you catch far more cats than you lose
You got the life that's awesome get out on the water at sunrise keep it up great channel.

Is there any way you can show the action or bend of the rod when you get these fish
I had to miss work today because of the coovid... Hopefully I'm better by the weekend, that's my fishing days.
Hope you get to feeling better soon.
With you being from Kingston. You need to got and fish poplar creek in Oliver springs
Beautiful time of day to be fishing!
It looked like your knot came loose, had that happen on 2 good fish so I changed knots from a traditional snell to on with a slip knot. Had alot of trouble with heavy line coming loose.
You do great job man I hate you missing that fish I felt it too it sucks I know I've done it so many times
Sad day losing that big one. But r Kelly fish was hilarious! Cool video
First fish wanted a lip ring Justin 🤣😂🤣
love your videos was just fixing to go to bed and this video pop up got to watch them here in Iraq
Great Video As Always
I felt that one to the core... sucks loosing a fish that big.
Dang, J.
Your skipjack are huge! Lol

Try using live or cut bluegill! Bigger bait/hooks will weed out the dinks. Up your tackle and you'll be in good shape to land some bigger fish!

what type of line do you use???
what reels are you using in this video

If you are considering to buy heavy tackle for cats or medium game saltwater rigs these are the way to go. Incredible quality at a very reasonable price.
I hope one day Justin catches the TN record channel cat. Him being in the record book for that would be hilarious to me Lol.
That would be awesome 😂
Couldn’t agree more with this! Hilarious!
Haha! That would be pretty funny.
What kind of reel do you use .. and live your videos .. I just ran into them and there great
What kind of reel are you using on the Whooper sticks
Shimano tekota 600
Im think of getting my first kayak do you think the blue sky 360 angler will be good for catfishing?
I have never been in a blue sky so I can’t speak from personal experience. It should definitely offer plenty of stability though.
Have you thought about using longer rods and turning the rod holders out a little to keep the baits further away from each other or is there an advantage to using the rod length you have now?
Longer rods would definitely put more distance between the baits but personally I find longer rods to be a nuisance to use in a kayak.

I saw Justin out dancing the other night... he was "spotlocking."
Justin I know you don’t weigh the fish but was wondering what’s your PB ?? I have seen you haul in some golly whopper’s!!
My biggest is in the video titled Holy Catfish
What type of reel do you use ultralight fishing?
It’s a cheap Abu Garcia reel from Walmart. The 1000 size
Thanks
Great Video! Could you describe your rig set up? It looks interesting.
The search box is your friend.
Movie script idea: ""Golly Whopper: Prepare To Be Swallowed Alive."
What river and what area you fish
There's you some large mouths! Good work man. Looks like a blaast!
I enjoy your videos
Happy Holidays from me to u
Thanks! Same to you
Great Video ❗
What kind of kayak do you have

Thanks Travis!
Your welcome sir!!!
Football? whats a football? Ho Ho Ho . 😂
Hey you mit need to check on your UA-cam I haven't been getting my notifications on your Channel just a heads up keep up the good fishing
Unfortunately I don’t have any control over that. You aren’t the first person to have this issue though. Very frustrating
