Can you do a more detailed video on how you fish the big rivers? Such as temp, depth, location, specific things to look for, and sonar readings. Keep up with the great videos!!!
Yeah they sure do, I'm from Wisconsin and I find the Wisconsin river a lot and is stand on the ends of wing dams and drop big bluegill or cut bait and I've had phenomenal luck.
Haha makes catfishing more fun for sure. I'd cover all the big river stuff, but to be honest I have a lot to learn before I feel like an authority worthy of acting like one.
Was a great spot and I am sure you will be back soon to the spot. You may be correct with the big fish hiding. I would be impressed with anything over 50lbs. I went fishing 2 days ago, saw fish, froze and gave up. Kudos to you for camping.
@@RiverCertified spence, Dude,I'm sure you've heard this before,but by watching your vids and my guys at Pig 🐷 Patrol,I've totally stepped out of my comfort zone,never fished for anything except catfish,my whole life,and now,I'm creek chasing 8 lb wipers, crazy bastards that they are,I'm catching striped bass, smallmouth and I love carp fishing in the creeks,I've gotten a kayak and my game has stepped up..My Dude,Thanks bro..
These things are a lot of fun to catch....or maybe im just easily amused 😳. Another great Spencer quote. So glad you're starting to learn the big crick. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 🤠💪🙏
I'm loving it more and more. Heading down to the lower stretch tomorrow. Hopefully find one of those 100 lbers swimming around. I'll be in your neck of the woods this spring. I'll have to let ya know.
Great video, with the great humor to go along. I talk to myself sometimes while I'm doing things (especially driving 😆), seems like you just talk naturally like you would regardless of your cameras. Love it man, keep up the great work and congratulations on the sub count rising, I'm happy to see that as a fellow Iowan (not that ur always in iowa in your fishing vids)but I'm happy to see your success.
Another great day on the water there Spencer! I found it quite funny you usually comment about how cute or how pretty the colors are on the smaller fish. Yet on the bigger ones they are generally ugly. Anyways thanks again for taking us along!
My whole life I’ve fished for catfish channel cat still biggest was 7.1/4 pounds and in between I fish the rock river southern Wisconsin because of you at 57 I’m going after flatheads thank you sir
Nice fish, man. Best 20 minutes of catfishing I've ever had was in a swirl just above a Mississippi River wing dam really early in the morning. They were all 5-8lbs, but it was as fast as I could bait and get it in the water. Got 7 channels, they fed 8 guys for a couple of meals. Got to be the hero as no one had caught anything big enough to keep for two days. The next year I saw a great big Mountain Lion on that wing dam about 3am, an hour after everyone else went back up to camp. I walked backwards to camp until it stopped following me, probably a couple hundred yards. Not fishing there solo after dark ever again unless I have a gun on me, it was scary.
@@RiverCertified not luck im like you just need2let them know im there 😏 n have at them tasty beggerz have a good 1im in New Braunfels tx now making my way through the muck of it all but ill be around.
Another great video always looking forward to them even more that you're traveling around to different places.And man when you pulled the fish out to eat I was already starving waiting on my wife to get ready to go out to eat.Had to grab a slice of cold pizza 🍕 out of the fridge to hold me over 😂
Spencer. I used to fish with Kombat Karl...big Mike and Scott from Epic catfish. I'm moved to Mississippi this month. Can you do some videos catching skipjack on wingdams? Thanks
Thanks Spencer for the hard work doing the content for your videos. Not sure who is writing the scripts? Lol. You could have saved alot of time and less commercials... The one hot spot? Chum some Goldeye around boat.. wait 30 minutes.. Toss the cast net..and be done and go back to ramp. 😄🎣
@@RiverCertified they can certainly get angry and steal stuff. Caught a 21lb one from my buddies boat ona 9” live bluegill. He doesn’t have rod holders, it almost got away with the rod!
I honestly enjoy the cooler weather blue cat patterns over the bumping. I like fishing on anchor. I won't have too many trips this summer, but this spring I'm gonna do a big road trip down south before turkey season I think.
@@RiverCertified dang, already slammed for the summer? Good job man, glad things are going good for you And no doubt! Hope you catch a tank wherever you go! You reckon youre gonna record turkey hunting on the channel?
@@RiverCertified I didn't know you had a hunting channel, definitely gonna subscribe to that even if the videos are few and far in between, any way I can get more of your content is worth the wait lol
I caught fewer fish than last year, but they were bigger this year. Seems like I put more in the boat on guide trips than videos. Just the luck of the draw.
Grade then B+ .Grade for all your shows which I'll thumbs up 👆 it's a lot of shows so it may take awhile butt ya deserve it.. A+ from the the Gypsy. I'll see you on the river ... Cats n Wallys beware...
Hey Spencer how ya doing sir! Can you tell me how to identify wing dams? I live on the ohio river and I am sure they have wing dams but I don’t know how to find them by either a map or sonar. So i was hoping you could help me out. Thanks Spencer, great video as always!
@@RiverCertified Thank you. I have never looked at or used Navionics but I have a Humminbird that came with the card but never used it. Thanks Spencer! Sorry about the rant to the scammer too. I had to do it. They do that to everyones comments and it gets old!
How big is ur fuel tank and what do you burn per hour. My inboard jet burns 4 to 5 gallons per hour depending on my load weight. And I have 50 gallon fuel tank.
Just checked out one of his videos thanks to you. Seems like a cool dude. If you want, let him know he can email me and maybe we can line something up.
Or extra big flat heads and Opelousas cat that would you call a spotted cat red-bellied perch. What ya call bull heads are mud cats polywogz. Willow cats are bull heads have 2 big. Hunkz of meat over each eye like horns hence bullhead at least down south... watching you catch dinner. See ya later Spence.
Belive it are not catfish are more toxic than gar . No scales can't release toxins. Scales are like pores like us skin is like scales pores sweat toxins released. I'm always here if ys nerd2know fish . If I don't ill find out4U4sure later river rat.
By the way Ops n flathead are the tastiest catfish in the water cause they eat more life bait. Other cats eat mud n dead stuff I 1nce caught flathead on big night crawler bout 6inch worm in a bayou bout 10 feet wide by a weir 26lbs I was happy dappy ate his tasty flesh. 😂
Aye man love the videos, but just curious how come you don’t post the dates of when you made the video that’s one thing I like about Josh’s(pig patrol)videos otherwise awesome content man
Hi Spencer great video. FYI it looks like someone is trying to scam me using your site...There telling me to text info for gifts I've been chosen for, I have texted you about this before..?

I'll be hornswaggled! Heck Yessssssss! Spence RULES!!!!!
Yeah they sure do, I'm from Wisconsin and I find the Wisconsin river a lot and is stand on the ends of wing dams and drop big bluegill or cut bait and I've had phenomenal luck.
Fish flopping around on deck… banging his head on shit, “don’t be so hard on yourself,bud” cracking me up 😂
I caught a glimpse of the adult beverages. Good taste! That deserves a like!
Haha makes catfishing more fun for sure. I'd cover all the big river stuff, but to be honest I have a lot to learn before I feel like an authority worthy of acting like one.
Keep up the good FISHING 🎣
Kansas City is Watching 👀
The ability to monolog on a log strewn river is a skill very few have. Spencer is one of the best at it.
I'm glad ya get a kick outta it man
Just got my whisker seeker package, thanks for the Swedish fish that was in the bag!
Another great video! Appreciate that I can watch these with my kids without fear of poor language. Keep up the great work!
I do my best to keep it clean. I appreciate you watching man!
Awesome vid as always!!!!
Thanks man!
Was a great spot and I am sure you will be back soon to the spot. You may be correct with the big fish hiding.
I would be impressed with anything over 50lbs.
I went fishing 2 days ago, saw fish, froze and gave up.

What a brilliant unexpected day's fishing! Always a pleasure to watch, old man, never a chore! C. U! 🤓

@@RiverCertified not as many trips this year as I would have liked but I'm thankful for the ones I've gotten. Going to Hawaii for a trip in June.
Another great day on the water there Spencer! I found it quite funny you usually comment about how cute or how pretty the colors are on the smaller fish. Yet on the bigger ones they are generally ugly. Anyways thanks again for taking us along!
Ya know I never thought of it like that. You're right. With that being said, I like the big ugly ones. haha
Super enjoyed the video. Thank you and keep em coming. I look forward to Mondays and Thursdays.
I'm glad ya enjoy them so much Patricia. Monday's video will have one of my biggest catfish ever in it.
The past week I’ve been watching your videos spencer you have great content!

Wow, that's crazy man. Stay safe out there. Hopefully you have another trip like where you caught the cats, just without any kittens showing up.
Fav catfish catcher !!
Thank you kindly!
Get you some of that nice fish
You always talk about depth perception with your eyes, maybe 10ft or 15ft. It amazes me as I've never been able to see down that far.
Man my bellies growing for fish ya doing 👆 up thankz I enjoy watching u fish 🐠. Haven't fished since my lady passed in 2001. See ya river 🐀!
Good luck when you get out there!

Those were some nice blues. Wing dams are hot all year.Used to fish them on the Mississippi at pool 13 when i lived up there. Great video
Thank you kindly Scott
I know I wasn't the only one to watch as the gas gauge went down, "huh, he is returning to his kayaking days. Biggest kayak ever!"
That wouldn't be a fun kayak to paddle haha
Good video Spenc!
Glad ya enjoyed it!
Always great content, Spencer and a great day of fishing
Glad ya enjoyed it sir!
Supposed to be bad again today here in Kansas.
Fun video buddy. You are a great fisherman. I enjoy your work.
God bless all here.
It's gonna be windy here too. Nowhere seems to be windy like Kansas though. Glad you enjoyed it man.
awesome
Glad ya enjoyed it
Awesome video

Glad ya enjoyed it Terry!
You must not drink as much as I do when I go fishing :) Love your vids buddy!
Haha glad ya enjoy them!
Spencer. I used to fish with Kombat Karl...big Mike and Scott from Epic catfish. I'm moved to Mississippi this month. Can you do some videos catching skipjack on wingdams? Thanks
Water? When there's an ice cold Busch Light right on top.
You and Kayak Catfish need to do a colab.
My cholesterol screams whenever you’re eating, but it always looks tasty. Fun day!
Haha I need to start doing more blackened fish. It would definitely be better for the ticker.
Awesome eaters
Thanks Spencer for the hard work doing the content for your videos. Not sure who is writing the scripts? Lol.
You could have saved alot of time and less commercials...
The one hot spot?
Chum some Goldeye around boat.. wait 30 minutes..
Toss the cast net..and be done and go back to ramp.
😄🎣
Greedy Goldeye, Spencer ! haha
Haha they're so fun to catch!
Well done sir then cats would look better on a taco 🤣🤣🤣
This fish taco discussion is gonna force me to thaw out some walleye hahaha
You ever use the goldeye live to catch flatties on the big river. I wonder if they're like other types of shad hard to keep alive
I haven't, but I hope to try this summer.
Looks like fish grips fall into the ‘one is none two is one 3 is better than none’ category after seeing the b-roll.
Haha you would be correct. Especially for blue cats.
@@RiverCertified they can certainly get angry and steal stuff. Caught a 21lb one from my buddies boat ona 9” live bluegill. He doesn’t have rod holders, it almost got away with the rod!
I always catch gold eyes on a white and silver in-line spinner.
I've heard good things about those.
@@RiverCertified it’s actually the cheap Walmart version I have the best luck on.
When on a river with little fuel, always go upstream. That way, the current can bring you back, and you use no gas
Agreed. That's exactly what I did.
13:05 in my opinion Busch lite counts as water
🤣🤣🤣
Vegan vitamins for a vegan fish eater! Go Bella. We love her!
Hahaha I'll be sure to let her know.
Well
Now I’m ready to fish
Good to see slime WAAAAY up the line.
I get VERY excited when I see that.
Gotta make sure the fuel gauge is accurate every once in a while.
The wind is blowing so hard here in Kansas,you would probably end up in Oklahoma. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha thankfully I don't like fishing in a north wind if I can help it.
@@RiverCertified me either my friend 🤣
Dang those are some chunkers!
But I bet you can't wait for the warmer weather when they get more lively.
Have any future trip plans for summer 2023??
I honestly enjoy the cooler weather blue cat patterns over the bumping. I like fishing on anchor. I won't have too many trips this summer, but this spring I'm gonna do a big road trip down south before turkey season I think.
@@RiverCertified dang, already slammed for the summer? Good job man, glad things are going good for you
And no doubt! Hope you catch a tank wherever you go!
You reckon youre gonna record turkey hunting on the channel?
@Cody Wilson I'm gonna try. If it goes good I'll post it on my hunting channel. Timber Certified haha
@@RiverCertified I didn't know you had a hunting channel, definitely gonna subscribe to that even if the videos are few and far in between, any way I can get more of your content is worth the wait lol
Sleeping through a bite?!! Never happens😂😅
Haha sshhhhhhhh
LOL , man is it cold there?
Right now it is. When I saw the forecast I knew I needed to get out there.
@@RiverCertified Radar Omega man.......never wrong
When can we see some guided videos
and do you like the medium heavy rod, or do you like the heavy rod more?
Was this year ruff for you for flatheads?
I caught fewer fish than last year, but they were bigger this year. Seems like I put more in the boat on guide trips than videos. Just the luck of the draw.

Here in the south we call them moon eyes great hate👍🐟🦌🦃🇱🇷
They're definitely one of my favorites !
do you use a one piece or two piece rod, and do you use a fast action or mod-fast?
🍀🤘🤘

Where I'm at it's easy because they're above water, but if they aren't, you can see them on navionics.
@@RiverCertified Thank you. I have never looked at or used Navionics but I have a Humminbird that came with the card but never used it. Thanks Spencer! Sorry about the rant to the scammer too. I had to do it. They do that to everyones comments and it gets old!

Wish the water wasn’t frozen already in Nebraska, otherwise I would totally get out
Where did you find that camo jacket?
It's a striker renagade jacket. Love that thing.
What model seaark do you have
Every time I watch your vids i feel like you need a red bull, you always sound so danm tire
I’m currently watching River Certified videos even though I should be doing something else; basically secondhand procrastifishing.
Haha I've been know to do that myself
Dang it! 4th...
So weak that you are getting spammed...oh well
4th is solid in my book
Catfish actually likes the cold water?
I don't know if they like it, but you can definitely catch them when the water is cold.
@@RiverCertified now the trick is dragged my girl to the lake in this cold 😂
What's the name of boat your running? looking into a boat
I would like to see you invite sling N baits to go fishing with you sometime
He’s from Kansas so not to far from ya
Just checked out one of his videos thanks to you. Seems like a cool dude. If you want, let him know he can email me and maybe we can line something up.
what rod and reel are those?
They should be linked in the description. Let me know if you can't find them.
Gold eye are the hair lipped skipjack
🤣🤣🤣🤣

They're vegan Spencer if they are gels cuz regular gelatin is made from Animal stuff.
If I was actually a vegan, I might have to write a letter to the company haha
How much is that style boat my good friend
I paid 40,000 for it, but I believe they've went up a lot since then.
@@RiverCertified ok thanks
What rods do you use just curious
I think they are whisker seeker but I’m not sure
Ok
What is the price for the whisker seeker rod
@@keatynprovost3725 cheapest on is $99
Whisker seeker are excellent rods made in iowa for big fish. I like the 7"6 medium heavy action 1 piece. You wont be disappointed if you buy one imo.
Aye man love the videos, but just curious how come you don’t post the dates of when you made the video that’s one thing I like about Josh’s(pig patrol)videos otherwise awesome content man
Also wonder what was chewing on one of those channels you caught definitely a tank
14:58
14:51
I have never caught a gold eye or used one as bait.. I think this calls for me to get you on my YT channel for a good video.!
Fish for musky if you want adrenaline
I've caught a handful. They're exciting for a moment, but seem to lack the endurance of catfish and stripers.
If I pay for a full tank of gas, can I tag along? 😅
Are vegans actually healthy?
Hell no
Vegan or not you going to die. I'll eat meat and die. If it's sooner than a vegan I'll die with a smile and a full belly
I like ribeyes too much to find out.
Try to think of vegans like grass fed beef. They're probably better for you than factory farmed, but you should still consume them in moderation...🤷
@@CottagebumHeavyHauler that's funny
Hi Spencer great video. FYI it looks like someone is trying to scam me using your site...There telling me to text info for gifts I've been chosen for, I have texted you about this before..?
Definite scam. It's all over youtube. Wish I could do something about it.
Thanks for letting me know your aware of it .Your channel is great man.
Another great video Spencer, missing the weekly podcasts though..
Thanks Bill. Ryan has all the podcast stuff right now. Hopefully he'll pump a few out shortly.
