Best flathead fishing videos without doubt, and I think most of you viewers will agree. But really you have one of the best fishing channels in general
The first one was a good fish, but that second? That second was huge! The best part? She put a smile on your face! A smile that only a dandy flathead can do for you. Oh, it’s more special being from bank! Amazing adventure, Spencer!!!
This man Spencer is the reason I began flathead fishing in the first place, the bank fishing and the kayak fishing for these fish never gets old watching.
Again Spencer, another great video! It's awesome how massive flatheads can live in a small creek. Keep up the great work. I've told several friends about your videos. Thanks again Spencer!
Nice flathead Spencer! Fishing at night on a slick bank is challenging enough. To catch a dandy like that and film it is quite a feat. Thanks for what you do!
I have never been one to target catfish but after finding your podcast, you tube channel and catching a few this week I've come to appreciate them. They're usually a bi catch when I'm fishing for salmon and steelhead.
Great fish buddy!!!! GLAD to see that fighting through all the bugs and poison ivy paid off for ya!!!! BEST OF LUCK on the next one, and GOD BLESS ALL!!!!👍😊🙏🙏🙏🙏
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again.. River certified is one of the dopest channels on UA-cam. Spencer you sir are a master at what you do. I sincerely appreciate your content and may your 4th of July be a safe and happy day for you and your family. Keep up the great work your definitely in my top 3 channels that follow.
Amazing video Spencer!! I absolutely love watching you fish these creeks for Flatheads and wow, did you ever catch a couple dandies in this video!! Congratulations on your catches and thank you for sharing.
Spencer the cat catching machine. Great videos man. Dang nice flatheads. Thank you for all your work to help people learn about how to land catfish. I have learned a ton from your videos.
If I like the video, are you kidding me?? Those were really nice Flatheads. I throughly enjoyed watching. Thank you for sharing. Stay safe and God bless you and yours. 😊😊😊😊
Awesome video!!! That "ditch" you are fishing is exactly like the river I fish. A small stream that most people avoid. it holds a decent population of huge fish without a lot of pressure or competition.
Dude you never cease to amaze me! The stuff that you go through and the terrain that you endure just to chase a fish! 🎣 That’s a true fisherman! I applaud you! Absolutely love your videos! I’m on UA-cam daily just to see if ole Spencer has posted a new one! lol Always excited to watch! Thank you for everything you do to make these videos man. Respect!!
I’m amazed at the quality of ugly ones you caught in that smaller creek/crick. Most people wouldn’t even consider fishing there. Thank you for taking us along.
So lucky to do what you do brother, as always great video and I Love and miss Creek fishing, been a long time, good luck and hope you catch a giant,lol
Wow that was awesome Spencer, gotta love that creek fishing.Was raised fishing in them, pop's always took us.Those thermal cells sure help out rt. What some nice Fatty's.💯💯👍👍
I enjoy the hell out of your channel and I've gone back to watch every one of your vids. I really enjoy the kayaking for big flats. The catch and cooks are great too. It would be great to see Ella fight a 100# flat
Love the flathead videos bro always a great time watching your videos and your approach to fishing different styles and different species keep slaying em man
Hard to beat a straight shank twelve ot stainless eagle claw. Dont know what you were using but use big j-hooks for flatties. Big crick is way up so them little cricks are schizna right now. Some of em are on the nest right now depending on water temp. Usually all be on the nest after the fourth round here. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾
I was using knock off gamakatsu big river hooks. I'm learning you have to stick em pretty good with those hooks. I think they're starting to spawn here. Caught some beat up ones. Thanks for watching sir!
It was a saltwater catfish, but finally got my son his first catfish catch. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him so excited to reel in 😆 I never really had much luck with freshwater catfish. I’ve caught a few unexpectedly on spinners and worms
@@RiverCertified I grab them by the lip 99% of the time. I’ve heard too many stories about the spines. I unhook the fish for him for now. We haven’t gotten that far yet. He’s wanting to go fish for some bass now so that’s on the agenda for the weekend 🤘
Great video once again!!! Hey your cubbies are struggling this year after you took Counsel from us.. But I guess we are doing ok 🤗.. GO BREWERS.. Haha just kidding you know I got to pick on you. Can’t wait till your next video.. 🙏🙏
The Brewers are running an awesome organization right now. Cubs definitely can't say that. I'll keep sticking with them no matter how bad their offense is. Thanks for watching!
Just for perspective, I remember back in the 60's at a little fishing camp somewhere in central Canada the owner would fire up his lawnmower and stroll around the camp emitting a prodigious cloud of smoke for the bugs. He had a gallon can wired to the handles and a thin tube running to the muffler dripping a mixture of used motor oil and DDT. I'll bet neither your gizmo nor your mosquitos are as harmful as that rig! Oh well, the fishing was good for pike and walleye and I'm still fishing. Great adventure and a couple slob flatheads!
We used to do that in south Texas before a party I remember seeing my dad ride in reverse because the muffler was in the front that fog sure did work for the mean time
Wow. That was incredible skinny water fishing. Great work man! Also - I can't believe the numbers of mozzies. Wonder what they feed on when there's no fishermen around.
Hello Mr Spencer just wanted to tell you I really enjoy your videos and I thank you for sharing them just wanted to tell you be careful around those rivers and all of that brush keep your eye out for cottonmouths Intex and all that junk I've been there I know what it's like but those are nice flat heads again I really enjoy your videos but take care of yourself man and be careful I'll catch you on your next video your friend Billy Simmons
Yes indeed, Dandies bro! 🤘🤘✌️, I used to fish the paylakes back in the day, 90's, but I know of several fellas, including myself, would catch the same flathead like 5 or 6 times in a 24 hr period, either their just really hungry or have a short term memory, maybe a little of both, long as they get released pretty good and not hurt too bad, meaning not hooked too bad, they'll keep coming back.
I have questions that I hope you see and can answer. One, why do you still consistently fish with braid for your main line? Do you use a long leader/topshot for abrasion resistance? I’ve noticed you also use big river j hooks regularly instead of kahles/circles. How often do you hook flatheads deeply instead of in the corner of the mouth? I know the hookup ratio is better with j hooks, but I’ve historically had more fish get hooked in the throat with them as opposed to other hook styles. I apologize if you’ve explained that in other videos and I haven’t seen them. I love your videos, and I’ve reached o it to you before via email. Best of luck from western PA.
Great video! Congratulations on catching some nice Flatheads! That last one was a TANK! Hope you an family have a HAPPY Fourth of July! Keep fishing! From north Alabama ghenley35
Awesome flats man, we decided to hit a small res close by Saturday night, no cats, but got into some 18-20 inch walters right off the banks and a few small mouth. What type of hooks did you switch up too?
@@RiverCertified Ok, that makes sense then, gama designed those specifically for flatties, but I much prefer charlie brown hooks, their circle hooks are rad. Give them a shot sometime, would love know your thoughts on them after a few hookups.
lol I can roll in poison ivy , but that nettle would ruin my night I makes me bumpy red irritating but it’s tasty ! Same with skeeters they don’t do anything to me , but chiggers omg I’ll soak them in nail polish … lol crazy 🤪. But what a couple nights huh ? Nice flatheads !
That's interesting. I'm almost the exact opposite. Guess it's proof ya can't have it all, but it feels like a small price to pay to have a chance to catch some nice fish.
Here in Louisiana we would call that a bayou. We also call those fish spottedcat, opps and some in north Louisiana where I live now call them flatheads but down south La where I’m from mostly just say it fast in a Cajun accent it sounds like spottycat. Great spottycat by the way.

Ever watched muddy river cats? They are legit!
Agreed!! 💯
Yup
Hadir kembali kawan mantap spotnya mancing sukses slalu buat kita sukses ❤❤❤❤❤
I appreciate the hell outta that man. Pretty cool to hear. It really does mean a lot!
The first one was a good fish, but that second? That second was huge! The best part? She put a smile on your face! A smile that only a dandy flathead can do for you.
Oh, it’s more special being from bank!
Amazing adventure, Spencer!!!
It was definitely my lucky day. I've had some blanks once the spawn started, so it makes those nights even better. Thanks a ton man!
He has caught more big cats. He still gets fired up catching any fish. Good dude
My boy does it again. Dude, you'd make a bass fisherman switch his game up to chasing kitty's trying to keep it a secret from his buddies 😂
Haha the closet catfisherman
@@RiverCertified 😂
Those were some big slobs ,that's a great night of flathead catching ,thanks for the trip Spencer
I appreciate that Jim. Thanks for watching.
I am going fishing this week on the Iowa River for catfish! I am super excited
Good luck!! 👍🏽👊🏽💯
Hope you beat the brakes off em dude!
Make sure to bring a net!
This man Spencer is the reason I began flathead fishing in the first place, the bank fishing and the kayak fishing for these fish never gets old watching.
@lukelueder6887 hell yes dude. Hope you've been beating them up.
Love the creek videos man! Got a lot of them around where I’m from so I spend a lot of time on smaller creeks so great to see content like this!
It amazes me how you manage to catch as many flatheads as you do. I'm jealous. Awesome video. Beavers had fun with ya bud
I spend a lot of time on the water. It's the only way I've figured out to catch them consistently. Thanks for watching.
Not hard if you put the time in eventually you'll catch them too
@@Digglerdirk79-l4y it’s not hard you say ? Let’s see all of your pictures and videos of flatheads that you have caught if it so easy.
Thanks to you and Pig Patrol I’ve almost completely given up trout fishing for chasing Flatheads
Idk what’s more impressive the fish, or how you manage to stay upright on a muddy creek bank in a pair of crocs. You are talented Mr Bauer! 👏🏻
Haha I don't have much common sense, but I do have decent balance. Thanks for watching!
Again Spencer, another great video! It's awesome how massive flatheads can live in a small creek. Keep up the great work. I've told several friends about your videos. Thanks again Spencer!
Nice flathead Spencer! Fishing at night on a slick bank is challenging enough. To catch a dandy like that and film it is quite a feat. Thanks for what you do!
Thank you kindly. It all adds to the fun I like to think.
Just Relaxing 🎣Watching You. 😀
YEAHH LETS GO ANOTHER SPENCER VIDEO, KEEP IT UP MAN
I have never been one to target catfish but after finding your podcast, you tube channel and catching a few this week I've come to appreciate them. They're usually a bi catch when I'm fishing for salmon and steelhead.

So sick. Great job on the slobs.
Bruisers. Would have liked to have seen the one that got off. Top notch as always brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

@@RiverCertified I thank you. And yes, I've enjoyed watching all these creek fishing videos very much lately.
Spencer the cat catching machine. Great videos man. Dang nice flatheads. Thank you for all your work to help people learn about how to land catfish. I have learned a ton from your videos.
Great video. I got to enjoy the trip without the bugs. Thank you. Stay safe.
I enjoy the trips with less bugs too haha. Thank you very much.
Unreal seeing these big Flatheads in a small creek. Congrats
Agreed. Blows my mind all the time.

Awesome. Nice fish. Keep doing what you’re ur doing. Always look forward to your videos.
I appreciate it. Glad ya dig em man.
River monster certified 👍👍👍
That is pretty sweet right there, you make it look easy even when you have to let the dog out..

I’m on UA-cam daily just to see if ole Spencer has posted a new one! lol Always excited to watch! Thank you for everything you do to make these videos man. Respect!!
I've been doing it since I was old enough to ride my bike down to the "creek". I guess I've always loved it. Glad you get a kick outta all that!
I think you were about 20k when I started watching all those years ago man I am pleased to see you continue to grow
You doin f in awsome this year man gettin some good ones with numbers on the side crazy
Those sloped muddy banks always remind me how much I love my net 😆
Nets are nice, but I just hate carrying them when bank fishing.
I’m amazed at the quality of ugly ones you caught in that smaller creek/crick. Most people wouldn’t even consider fishing there. Thank you for taking us along.
That's one of my favorite characteristics of them. They can pop up anywhere. Glad you enjoyed it.
It always amazes me how a small body creek like that can hold such gaints nice job Spencer stay safe out there
That definitely makes two of us. Blows my mind every time.
"Who Let the Dogs Out?" Spencer, the flathead King! You are killing it!
Hahaha it was a good night. The dogs appreciated getting let out.
Wish I could hit the like button more than once!! Great vid Spencer!!
I appreciate the hell outta that! Glad you enjoyed it!

You have the Flatheads zeroed in. Great video
Glad ya enjoyed it sir. It sure is nice when they cooperate.
Wow that was awesome Spencer, gotta love that creek fishing.Was raised fishing in them, pop's always took us.Those thermal cells sure help out rt. What some nice Fatty's.💯💯👍👍
It's tough to get it out of my blood. I grew up doing the same. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I enjoy the hell out of your channel and I've gone back to watch every one of your vids. I really enjoy the kayaking for big flats. The catch and cooks are great too. It would be great to see Ella fight a 100# flat

Awesome night trip Spenc! BIG UGLIES!
Can't ask for much more! Thanks dude!
Lets goooooo. Love your videos🤙

Wow. That was incredible skinny water fishing. Great work man! Also - I can't believe the numbers of mozzies. Wonder what they feed on when there's no fishermen around.
I've never thought about that. I bet the skeeters get pretty hungry when I'm not fishing haha

Off deep woods 40 deet works wonders for them skeeters
Great video! Bank fishing is great!
How do you go about finding these spots?!
Let’s go 💪🏿💯
Yessssiiiirrrrr!
Turtle activities with the line moving so far
I guess I didn't even think of that. Kind of embarassed.
Dang what a flat!!
Thank you!
I was talking to myself when i said “im either watching that or fishing vi-“ and here we are.
I have questions that I hope you see and can answer. One, why do you still consistently fish with braid for your main line? Do you use a long leader/topshot for abrasion resistance? I’ve noticed you also use big river j hooks regularly instead of kahles/circles. How often do you hook flatheads deeply instead of in the corner of the mouth?

It amazes me how many catfish those muddy midwestern creeks hold. MISTER Beaver????
Spencer really like your channel. I started using a rig like you do much better success
Great to hear!
Have you ever gone fishing for paddlefish
Yessir
How big
You should’ve brought a weedeater with you!!!😂😂
I'd be lying if I told you the thought hadn't crossed my mind haha
Tiny back creeks and high water buddy 👍 did you miss the hybrid run in the Des Moines or does it come later?
It's my favorite way to catch em. I totally missed the hybrid run. I was still in Alabama for most of it.
How do you target the bullhead you use for bait?
Dammm …… didn’t think he would be that big!!
He surprised me a little too haha
Where can I get bank rod holders like you have
They're takedown rod holders.
Great video! Congratulations on catching some nice Flatheads! That last one was a TANK! Hope you an family have a HAPPY Fourth of July! Keep fishing! From north Alabama ghenley35
What rods are you using
Awesome flats man, we decided to hit a small res close by Saturday night, no cats, but got into some 18-20 inch walters right off the banks and a few small mouth. What type of hooks did you switch up too?
That sounds like my idea of a good time. I'm using knock off gamakatsu big river hooks. Really liking them over all.
@@RiverCertified Ok, that makes sense then, gama designed those specifically for flatties, but I much prefer charlie brown hooks, their circle hooks are rad. Give them a shot sometime, would love know your thoughts on them after a few hookups.
lol I can roll in poison ivy , but that nettle would ruin my night I makes me bumpy red irritating but it’s tasty ! Same with skeeters they don’t do anything to me , but chiggers omg I’ll soak them in nail polish … lol crazy 🤪. But what a couple nights huh ? Nice flatheads !
That's interesting. I'm almost the exact opposite. Guess it's proof ya can't have it all, but it feels like a small price to pay to have a chance to catch some nice fish.
Here in Louisiana we would call that a bayou. We also call those fish spottedcat, opps and some in north Louisiana where I live now call them flatheads but down south La where I’m from mostly just say it fast in a Cajun accent it sounds like spottycat. Great spottycat by the way.
I hope to visit southern LA to chase flatheads in the bayous. Everything I've heard it sounds like some amazing fishing.
Furst
Dang you beat me on that Josh
Legend hairy performance
Spencer those clothes you have on either throw them out or don't wash them with anything else creepy ivy oil😮
