    Great video, as always. I think if I were to do the tournaments, I'd go bare bones and just wing it. That could be some of the best fun, in my mind. Not to mention the bragging rights. If I had a kayak, I'd definitely go for it. Have a blessed night, Justin.

    About a half mile downstream from there is some sort of massive snag right on the breakline. Last month, it claimed multiple dragging rigs, a planer board, a rod and reel, and a Scotty rod holder from me. If you find it, its mine. 😊

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      Haha! I believe I know that snag you are referring too and it has claimed some of my rigs in the past too lol.

    Thanks for another great video man. Congrats on the big flathead.
    Getting filthy and humid here just as you guys are getting cold and grey. Even though the nights are sweaty it's nice to hit the beaches for a dawn session in shorts. Plenty of fish around too. Hope you have a great trip to Florida.

    Looks like those shimano reels have been holding up pretty good I looked back, been using them since February 2022. The Golly Whooper and that reel makes a good combo.

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      The Shimano reels have held up really well. They still feel and sound new.

    I have the same kayak non-pdl and the only critique I have is the weight capacity and the weird two hatches in the center of the kayak. Takes up to room when standing up and takes away from weight capacity. Now you got me worried about my seat next! Then you brought up the autopilot and issues with the motor. We just had someone’s motor go out last week on the water. I love Old Town kayaks still but the XTR is looking pretty nice lol.

    Question. When you kayak fish in cold weather, what waders do you use. I would love to get a pair

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      I don’t recommend waders for kayak fishing. If you go overboard, it will be more difficult to climb back in when they fill up with water. I wear true timber fishing bibs with layers of clothes underneath.

  • @douglasmedlin7159
    @douglasmedlin7159 2 місяці тому

    I heard on Colin Cowherd it was in the contract Mike was not allowed to throw an upper cut. That makes it a gimmick not a fight.

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      All of those silly stipulations should have been disclosed beforehand.

  • @tankbullion
    @tankbullion 2 місяці тому

    Hey Justin, why not make the tournament trail less stressful and fair for everyone depending on their location and have a separate tournament Trail for the East of the Mississippi and West of the Mississippi. Then at the end of the season the top anglers from each side have a championship tournament for the Angler of the year?

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому +1

      I don’t run the tournaments so it isn’t my call

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому +2

      The first leg of the trip went well.
      I caught a bunch of peacock bass and huge bluegill. The wind has made things difficult since I got to the keys but it’s supposed to get better later in the week.

    • @larryw-sb5tr
      @larryw-sb5tr 2 місяці тому

      @KayakCatfish I've been watching the wind Forcast down there, to me it looks beautiful after tomorrow. What is your wind speed comfort zone according to weather service wind speeds? 10 mph+ i stay on the bank but this is my first season in a kayak

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      Anything over 10mph is tough to deal with on a kayak in the ocean. Especially when you are having to fight the current too.

    Why put a jig on line after bait

    • @KayakCatfish
      @KayakCatfish  2 місяці тому

      I have been averaging around 100 extra fish per year on the fly down below the cut bait.

    • @dylanbrown5548
      @dylanbrown5548 2 місяці тому

      Do you ever keep them

  • @douglasmedlin7159
    @douglasmedlin7159 2 місяці тому

    Mine it's definitely not a kayak, it's a mini plastic pontoon boat. Sure aint paddling it don't even want to peddel it.
