Hey Justin, you should tell Ryan that 3rd place wins him the opportunity to be your rod caddy at the next tournament. It's a hell of an honor and he should be proud.
I love how you just have continuous conversation(contemplation). This is exactly how I talk to myself when I’m out on the water. I always fish alone and talk myself through it all❤️
I've never heard you so down about spending time on the island. Then you perked back up on the move and really kicked ass. Very happy for you and don't worry about slamming Alabama people, thy have already forgot by now.
Glad to see ya pick up the win, I was getting excited when I saw the tie for the lead, told mom, she said congrats. Every time you put a new video out, I always go down on the weekends and watch with her. She enjoys watching. Thanks for what you do and for sharing.
The saying is...”Don’t count your chickens before they hatch!” ❤. Hello from Medford, Oregon! I really enjoy the high quality fishing shows you create! Thank you! ❤❤
Congratulations, Justin. What a great trip and video to watch. What a great way to start the year off on the trail off with the a WIN. I appreciate you taking us along and getting to watch you bring the cash home to TN.
You were right in my backyard. I live in Florence and was out on Pickwick yesterday. I've been watching you for over 2 years and you were how I learned to catch these big catfish.
Buck Perry is the OG of structure fishing. I didn't know, but am not surprised, you have gained from his knowledge. You shared a whole lot of knowledge in this tournament. Thanks for documenting things.
Good job Justin Congratulations. Kayak Catfish is one of my favorites on UA-cam . I really like how you changed up to a different location. Good call man.
You are so welcome for the food money. This was an exciting video. I loved it. And when you said BUCK PERRY I nearly squealed!!! I have some Buck Perry spoon lures my precious cousin gave me before he passed. He was a lot older than me. Lonnie was his name. He was like my second daddy. He taught me how to bowl. He didn’t teach me how to fish but he taught me a lot about fishing. He emphasized how important contour fishing is to me and by golly you proved it in this tournament! I’m so happy and proud of you Justin. Great job!!! Woohoo!!!!
I watched your ultra-light video after you pre-fished your tournament. No confidence my azz!! Not all Heros wear capes! Congrats Champ!! Due to your inspiration and tips and tricks, I have my 1st cheap paddle kayak on the way for ultra-light fishing. Thank you Brother!
Congratulations, Justin! I've been watching you for a loooong time. I was hoping you and Ryan would come in 1-2. He's our local guy here in Kentucky. It just wouldn't feel right, only rooting for a feller from Tennessee with one of our own in the mix!😂 Good luck to y'all on the next one!
Thanks for taking the time to film and share. You could've said to yourself, "I need to focus on fishing" but you won anyway plus got Mr. BIG Alabama Cat USA.
Catfish are used to see and hear all those speedboates, I even think those boats keeping the catfish active and feeding !! Big congrats for winning ! 2 prizes . I enjoyd the vid verry much ... Lots of fishers are to passive, they keep on waiting and waiting instead of trying sommething else ... You know I could give you somme advice to catch more carp , you just have to ask it ...
You always seem to be on the posting schedule that I need. My allergies are 200% kicked in, have been for three weeks now, and I held out for as long as I could before mowing my 5 and the next doors rental 3 acres. Haaaaaachooooo!! I enjoy your grind!!
Heck yea man good win, just made some dragging sinkers, going to set the rods up and next good day we have ill be fishing pueblo reservoir, get on over here one day and show me how it's done!!!
I cannot believe how these fish are messing up your rig tig today. Your doing a great job consistently bringing in these cats, and using your time to slowly move closer to check in. Hey, I'm rooting for you as usual and hope you win this thing. After all you need some new gear. Stay safe, blessings to you, cheers. 😊
Hello Justin, opposite technique on an alternate choice of places starting a tournament 😂, man, you have the courage of no one I’ve ever known. I know I’m late to the game by watching your video. 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀anyway 5:07
Ya justin, I took a small inflatable boat out over a week ago and being 6'5, felt very crunched with gear in it and trying to manage 2 poles and oars. I upgraded to a bigger one but not to big. That being said, I was interested in fishing from a kayak, but after that experience, I don't know how you and others manage to do it or even have fun being confined to that small of a space and holding paddle. Learning experience.
War Eagle buddy! I been watching your vids for about 6-8 months. My Saturday mornings i wake up and look for a new video. Do you ever fish Lay Lake or Guntersville?
Yep...Agree that Tennessee needs to win a few after only winning one game against Alabama in last 17 years, tobacco cigar stores in Tennessee hurting :-)... Glad to see you do so well in the tournament...
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! AWESOME the way you adapted!! Maybe next tournament I would LOVE to see the reactions of the other anglers. Very nice trophies and GREAT Sponsor"s , So IMPRESSED for you to travel to Alabama and win Total length & Big fish. Can't wait for the next video.
Dam there's definitely some fish that were working threw regardless of what happens 41 + inch blue during a turnoment should give you all kinds of confidence now and in the future nice victory and biggest fish
NICE WIN! CONGRATS!! Normally, I'd say you should have stuck with your original plan...but what do I know! Changed it up and won the whole dang fishin' match...
Congratulations! Couple of impressive things besides your win - how you hung in there after feeling like you wasted time on the island. Can't get that time back just kills me on a fishing trip... And, how you were able to be calm at the camera when you HAD to get back to check in. Great video in the face of danger. But I guess it would have only been a couple thousand dollar boo boo 🙂
Just heard you mention getting DQ for being a min late at check in. I have a couple buddies who fished a big bass tourney several years back. Got back to the dock, tied the boat off, walked over with their bag and weighed in, solid first place bag. Walked back over to the dock, let the fish go, one guy went to get the truck, the other guy jumped on the boat , used the trolling motor to pull the boat around to the other side of the dock (maybe 40'), got the boat onto the trailer. Went and parked the boat, walked back over to the crowd for the final results (to get their check)...tournament director said they were DQd. Buddy who moved the boat didnt have his lifevest on when he loaded the boat onto the trailer. "Must have lifevest on when under power" Reality was that they weren't locals and the locals were mad that someone from out of town won their tournament, but rules are rules and it cost them a little over 5K in cash. Apparently the guys in second place saw them move the boat, filmed it and turned it into the director. Sissy move in my eyes, but it is what it is. OOF.
Congratulations on your win. I have just started watching your videos recently. They are well done,entertaining, and educational. I hear you follow the teachings of Buck Perry. Depth and Speed are the keys to catching fish. In your opinion, based on your experience, do you feel catfish are as sensitive to the daily weather and water conditions in respect to their movements? Again, keep up the great videos.
Man Justin, I sure enjoyed riding with you today. Who would have thought you could get that many of us on a kayak. Next time, bring some barbecue chips. I’m back home now. If you need me to cut your grass while your gone, let me know. Haha.😅
Hey Justin, Congratulations on your win. I enjoy watching you do your thing catching those cats. I'm curious about that cigar you were given. I'd sure like to know the brand and model of the "best cigar in this country." Thanks, and keep the videos coming.
You have the golly whopper rod. Just a cool idea, the fun sizer rod?? I’d buy it🤣 by the way congrats on the tournament win, these are my favorite videos!
Those fork tails could be spoonbill but it looks like you would be able to see their bills. You would know better than I would. Awesome job winning in my backyard. I live on pickwick on the Tennessee side, the better side lol.
@Roberts810 I was meaning while he's drifting and the water gets deeper how far off the bottom does he let the bait get before he adjust for a new depth say he starts in 25 foot of water the drifts into say 30 to 40 feet of water do you adjust for just 5 feet or wait until it's 10 to 15 feet deeper to make adjustments?
@@Harv870 ohh I see what you mean! My bad! I've heard him say in some older vids that he keeps a good eye on his graph and makes the adjustments as quick as he can so his bait stays close to that 2 to 3 ft mark. I'm still trying to learn the drifting part myself so we normally just readjust periodically just to make sure the baits are close to were they need to be.
Hey Justin, you should tell Ryan that 3rd place wins him the opportunity to be your rod caddy at the next tournament. It's a hell of an honor and he should be proud.
SERIOUSLY BRO THIS VID IS A CLASSIC, FOR THE VAULT.
I'D TAKE STEAK OVER CHICKEN LINE WAS GOLD.
I was just looking at comments and that line was right on Q😜💯
I love how you just have continuous conversation(contemplation). This is exactly how I talk to myself when I’m out on the water. I always fish alone and talk myself through it all❤️
Thank you for taking us along. Enjoyed it. And everything you said about Alabama is true. 😂
Go Vols !!!
Thanks Mike! I appreciate you being a channel member.
I've never heard you so down about spending time on the island. Then you perked back up on the move and really kicked ass. Very happy for you and don't worry about slamming Alabama people, thy have already forgot by now.
Haha! Thanks Ron!
@@KayakCatfish New to the channel and this may have already been asked. What type of kayak do you use? Love the content thanks for posting
Disregard, just needed to watch the rest of the video.
Glad to see ya pick up the win, I was getting excited when I saw the tie for the lead, told mom, she said congrats. Every time you put a new video out, I always go down on the weekends and watch with her. She enjoys watching. Thanks for what you do and for sharing.

I fish Picwick lake regularly but honestly, my biggest fish always come from Wilson. Welcome back, Justin ! 😂👍
I always pull for Ryan or you to win these tournaments. Kudos to Kayak Mike for putting all this together.
The person I'm always rooting for got the WIN. Congratulations your the man. 1 st place I'm proud of you. 🎉👍🎣🥳💵🇺🇲

That 4 hour drive went quick as hell with all that money in your pocket 🤣
Dam there's definitely some fish that were working threw regardless of what happens 41 + inch blue during a turnoment should give you all kinds of confidence now and in the future nice victory and biggest fish

Thanks! I don’t think deep water cats are as affected by environmental conditions as much as shallow water fish.
Man Justin, I sure enjoyed riding with you today. Who would have thought you could get that many of us on a kayak. Next time, bring some barbecue chips. I’m back home now. If you need me to cut your grass while your gone, let me know. Haha.😅
Dragging this time of the year is usually the best way to do it for us. Unless/Until you can find them schooled up somewhere. Congrats on your win.
I love your tournament content! Nice work
Great job 🎣 keep hooking em 🐳.
Great job Justin congrats
Great job, my friend! Never had a doubt you’d win somethin🤙
Hey Justin, Congratulations on your win. I enjoy watching you do your thing catching those cats. I'm curious about that cigar you were given. I'd sure like to know the brand and model of the "best cigar in this country." Thanks, and keep the videos coming.
The cigar label said Tabernacle from esteli Nicaragua

When you're suspending how far from the bottom do you let you bait get before you adjust for depth?
He lets the bait hit the bottom then reels up 2 to 3 feet off the bottom.

I usually try not to let it get more than 5 feet off the bottom before making adjustments.
Yep, happens all the time, but, just keep fixing and keep trying, yes,aggravating but fun when you land a nice one or two!👍😃
