I am a 62 year old that loves to fish small rivers for Channels. My grandpa, who taught me to fish would always tell me, " When the water comes up, act like a rich man, and go to the banks." Pretty sound advice
I watch and enjoy all of your videos. That said, the kayak fishing videos are hands down my favorite. Can’t wait to see you hook into some flatheads this summer. Keep up the great work.
How wonderful to see you meandering down stream in your Kayak. It looks so relaxing along with catching some excellent fish. Thank you for sharing. You stay safe and God bless you and yours 😊😊😊😊
Really a funny day, Spencer! Your tips of spicy sauce are delicious, I’ve made it. Hope to see more small rivers fishing, or maybe some turkey hunting, it could be nice too.
I was nailing the fish this year before river took a big jump and now can’t find them. I fish the Missouri River’s main channel seems. Going to try a couple smaller tributaries after this video as are river just jumped 10 ft. Thx for all the helpful tips in your videos
Really have enjoyed the last couple of videos Spencer. Just fun fishing!!! Glad the drought is over for you guys. I remember how bad it was last year and before.
I feel good for you guys that the drought has broken in that area, creeks banking, gorgeous spring greenery etc. Really enjoying the variety - great video. Thanks man.
Awesome video! Nice catch of Channel cats! Wow. I'm so envious of you. I have a son and three grandsons who live in Iowa, and I've forwarded your videos! Great fishing. Thanks for bringing us along. God bless all here.
First of all hope all is well after these storms tonight. 2nd I finally got out by myself Sunday night and caught my limit. Stinkbait worked great. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Covering rhe cubs hat is definitely a sign🤯. It is really hard keeping creek chubs alive. Takes alot of water and air and temp control. Gret to see you in the yak. Rapid rising water can be the schizna. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏🏾
Thank you again Spencer for such a great video!! I can't think of anything better than fishing a rising creek for Channel Cats and maybe even a couple eels. But I really enjoyed this video just because it's the kind of fishing I used to to in my younger years and brought back loads of memories. Can't wait for your next creek journey and as always, be safe out there my friend.
Nice, I'm on a skunk fest right now fishing for blues. This gave me inspiration to fish my local shit hole creeks. Maybe I can get my mojo back. Thanks for the consistent content, it breaks up the monotony of my work week!!
Next time catch and cook at your camp site! But bring the wife and she can go and find some mushrooms,lettuce and any other veggies to serve with said fish! Just a thought have a awesome week my friend!
I've got 3 28in+ Channels in my time on this earth. That was an absolute BEAST of a Channel Cat. Man I've caught Blues and Flatheads smaller than that one. He was one to get measurements and quality pics of for a replica.
Hey Spencer …. Nice channel cats …. Definitely like seeing you back in the Kayak. I’ve been killing it on the Housatonic River in New Milford, CT. I have been given special permission to fish in an area that is closed off to the public. I spoke to the Mayor and the Park and Recs Director. I explained I was a Ret. Police officer and also worked Part time with the CT State Environmental Police. After a few weeks, I was surprising given permission. I will say this area is channel catfish Gold. The one thing I learned is that channel catfish are only active after dark. Anyways, Another Great video! Dan
@@RiverCertified I just had to show you that monster channel. Broke my personal best by inches and definitely several several by pounds. I sent the video up to the State DEP for review. They responded back believing I broke the current state record however, it was disqualified due to the “weighing process.” I’m not going to kill a fish that size just to freeze it, drive up to Hartford,CT and have it weighed certified by the state of Connecticut.
There's my motivation to dust off the kayak and hit the river! Been slaying kittys in the boat, but it's so much more fun in the little plastic boat! Fun times man!
Good to see you guys have some water up in your neck of the woods.Hopefully that means u an Ryan will be getting into the big uglies soon,u know ima be watchin Spencer.
I went to academy and bought me a kayak cause you inspired me...I like skip a lot.he is cute in his own right..love the videos you put out.always waiting on the next one... Lufkin Texas says hello river rat...
Another awesome video bro 😎 I love the YAK videos I have one and it’s a blast catching fish in a little tiny boat especially when they are biting,keep slaying em man
Smart man, wearing miss matched camo is one of the best ways to break up your silhouette. My buddies used to tease me ( we all spot and stalk elk and deer bow hunting)untill my shot and body count was looking better than everybody elses
Hey Spencer I think you are awesome I grew up cat fishing I’ve caught so many up to 8 1/2 pounds channel catfish but never a flat head I do have a story about that I will save for later would you ever consider coming to southern Wisconsin to fish the rock river that would be so awesome
Wish we had chanal cat like that here down south that's was trophy cat by my standard I do have a ball that has erney banks and don ketchenger names I'm old lol nice vid as always 🦃🦃🇱🇷🇱🇷
Love the kayak videos Spencer, was wondering if you recommend any brand of kayak for fishing, ones I have seen on the market seem to be more for pleasure rather then setting up for fishing
Best fishing times when the river comes up even ponds and lakes pewaukee lake just had 1 hell of a rain storm grab my gear go to the pair its lighly raining bass are on fire crappies and big bluegills no muskey can win them all it was fun
QUESTION: on this video at 20:29, what were you filming??? My man says wood ducks/ducklings & Im thinking a snake. We enjoy catfishing on the Iowa River & love seeing you haul in those HOGS! Keep the videos coming!
Awesome one Spencer! I’m fixing to buy a better Kayak. I really like the kayak videos I just posted a catch and cook today off my little boat I can’t wait to go log jammin in the Yak. 😎
I am a 62 year old that loves to fish small rivers for Channels. My grandpa, who taught me to fish would always tell me, " When the water comes up, act like a rich man, and go to the banks." Pretty sound advice
I will have to remember that, what a good thing to say. I am 62 as well.
62 here also..tight lines
@@superjbill1171 I am 62 and a half. I have already started counting halfs.😂 Fish every week
I guess we have a 62 club going.😎
After reading that, I bet he was a guy who had lots of good advice.
Glad to see you getting back to the basics
For sure man. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hands down, the best fishing channel on the interwebs
I appreciate that immensely.
Turkey hunting and Catfishing. Those are about as good as it gets . Great video Captain

Thankful for the kayak small norther river fishing again! Definitely missed this.
Glad you enjoy them. I'll be in the kayak quite a bit this year. Keeps life simple.
Really a funny day, Spencer! Your tips of spicy sauce are delicious, I’ve made it. Hope to see more small rivers fishing, or maybe some turkey hunting, it could be nice too.
Love the small stream (ditch) videos!!! I'll watch them ALL but small stream kayak videos ROCK!!! THANKS!!!😊
I was nailing the fish this year before river took a big jump and now can’t find them. I fish the Missouri River’s main channel seems. Going to try a couple smaller tributaries after this video as are river just jumped 10 ft. Thx for all the helpful tips in your videos
That was a great day of rat fishing, and the excitement in your voice is great,thanks for the trip Spencer
Really have enjoyed the last couple of videos Spencer. Just fun fishing!!!
Glad the drought is over for you guys. I remember how bad it was last year and before.

It was a fun day for sure. I was definitely lucky to find a few. I'm glad you enjoyed the videos and hopefully they did too.
First of all hope all is well after these storms tonight. 2nd I finally got out by myself Sunday night and caught my limit. Stinkbait worked great. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯
Glad to see you back on the small waters. Can't wait for the flathead videos
Always great to see you back on the smaller creeks great video keep it up and keep those lines tight

Yessir
Spencer, outstanding video!!!! I appreciate how you always keep it real for us!!

Channel cats have such attitudes!
I've got 3 28in+ Channels in my time on this earth. That was an absolute BEAST of a Channel Cat. Man I've caught Blues and Flatheads smaller than that one. He was one to get measurements and quality pics of for a replica.
Throwback content! Love it!

Good for you man. I saw your email. That channel was a freak of nature!

Good seeing ya back in the kayak
Good to see you back in the yak! 🎣
Great trip Spencer, totally appreciate and enjoyed the scenery and the nice fish. 💯👍
That striped frog would’ve been good bait.
Good stuff Spencer!
Love the turkey attitude 🔥💪🏼
Hope you and yours are safe and well after these tornados!!
Love L and the kids/dogs too…
🎉i
I felt like you were having a fun day. It only takes a pole and a little bait and it's fishing time. Thanks for making my day. Stay safe
Couldn't agree more. Glad you enjoyed it!
There's my motivation to dust off the kayak and hit the river! Been slaying kittys in the boat, but it's so much more fun in the little plastic boat! Fun times man!
Your kayak fishing videos inspired me to get a kayak and fish for flats and channels. Enjoyed 👍
The River Certified that got me to subscribe. Back to basics.
Good deal man
Fall is absolutely the best. 65-70 degrees, cool nights, and 30+ pound salmon. Small victories lmao.
That sounds wonderful
Finally your back in the Kyack . Definitely my favorite videos to watch 😊😊
Glad you like them!
Missed the kayak!
We have similar creeks around here that have been mostly drying up in the summers. Channels and carp are survivors for sure
Definitely. Tougher than ill ever be.
Good to see you guys have some water up in your neck of the woods.Hopefully that means u an Ryan will be getting into the big uglies soon,u know ima be watchin Spencer.
It’s good to have you back Spencer really
I've missed the kayaked videos man it's the whole reason I subbed in the first place
Turkeys always #1 priority!!
I'd probably fill more tags if they were for me baba
I’m ready for the flathead videos😅
Yeah, I was watching your video and you mentioned kale hooks. That’s all I use. That is a great hook.
I went to academy and bought me a kayak cause you inspired me...I like skip a lot.he is cute in his own right..love the videos you put out.always waiting on the next one... Lufkin Texas says hello river rat...
You are going to run your good Turkey hunting clothes fishing in them LOL
Great to see you back in the Yak👍👍fantastic video man 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it man!
Love to see you doing videos like this again!
Glad you like them!
This was a really good day man! Brush piles, and big channels!
I love this content back to what brought me to the channel
Glad ya enjoy it man
Love these small river videos from ya
Glad to hear it. Gonna hit a hole on one tonight.
Loved the kayak video. Looked like a super fun trip.
It was definitely a good time. Thanks for watching!
Another great fishing trip! Thanks !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for reminding me how much I enjoy your kayak adventures. Always good stuff! ♥
Hell yeah !! Tight Lines Captain Spencer 🐟🐟🐟
So good to have you back
Thanks for watching!
Favorite type of multi-tasking!
Excellent video Spencer. Thank you.
🤜🌟🤛🐬🐠🐬🎣
Another awesome video bro 😎 I love the YAK videos I have one and it’s a blast catching fish in a little tiny boat especially when they are biting,keep slaying em man
Do you know Spencer you call those creeks. I live in Arizona that’s more like a dang river to me. Either way catching fish that’s good.
Man that looks like it was a blast. Great job as always.
Finally back to the original stuff
Kayak vid!!!! Hell yeah!!😂
Caught a 20lb blue cat today. Your videos made me want to go out there and make it happen! :D
Those are nice channel cats. Doubled up is a great feeling but also chaos. Best bite is rising water. So I’m told anyways.
I agree when you cover up your hat and the fish start biting you really need to put thought into you head gear lol
😂😂😂
im glad to see u back in the Kayak man
Good fishing and a beautiful day! Plus yum
Nice to see you on the kayak again 😀
You bet man!
Another great video Spencer
Miss the kayak vids. Good to see one back. Time for some flat heads from the kayak? 🙏 😎
I'll be after em. Hope they cooperate better this year.
Is be surprised if the Ricketts family isn't making a camo Cubs hat. You should invest sometime when your current hat wears out!
I tried that Louisiana brand fish breading in the blue bag.
Way to salty for me, but the Frank`s part tasted great .
I bought the cannel catfish book I heard you talking about on a talk show.
Smart man, wearing miss matched camo is one of the best ways to break up your silhouette. My buddies used to tease me ( we all spot and stalk elk and deer bow hunting)untill my shot and body count was looking better than everybody elses
Them two bigger channel cats were awesome size fish
My grandson loves kayaking , like you do. I couldn't handle the snakes, otherwise a house boat would be perfect for me 😅😊
Snakes ain’t gonna get you they’re scary but more scared of us dont let a lil water noodle stop ya!
Hey Spencer I think you are awesome I grew up cat fishing I’ve caught so many up to 8 1/2 pounds channel catfish but never a flat head I do have a story about that I will save for later would you ever consider coming to southern Wisconsin to fish the rock river that would be so awesome
Great vid, wishing u good skies and tight lines.. ?? When are you going hunting for Blue Cats..
glad to see you’re back to the kayak fishing. Can’t wait to hear that clicker ripping off
Wish we had chanal cat like that here down south that's was trophy cat by my standard I do have a ball that has erney banks and don ketchenger names I'm old lol nice vid as always 🦃🦃🇱🇷🇱🇷
Thanks 😊
Love the kayak videos Spencer, was wondering if you recommend any brand of kayak for fishing, ones I have seen on the market seem to be more for pleasure rather then setting up for fishing
That first fish was real chatty. He told you what he thought of you
Best fishing times when the river comes up even ponds and lakes pewaukee lake just had 1 hell of a rain storm grab my gear go to the pair its lighly raining bass are on fire crappies and big bluegills no muskey can win them all it was fun
Nice Cats !!!!! Nice “Boat” lol , All in all great video!!!!
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great show
Great, as always but can you give me a quick explanation why circle hooks don't work for flatheads?
QUESTION: on this video at 20:29, what were you filming??? My man says
wood ducks/ducklings & Im thinking a snake.
We enjoy catfishing on the Iowa River & love seeing you haul in those HOGS! Keep the videos coming!
Ducks and ducklings. The iowa river is a great river. Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome video man 🔥🔥🎣🎣
Awesome one Spencer! I’m fixing to buy a better Kayak. I really like the kayak videos I just posted a catch and cook today off my little boat I can’t wait to go log jammin in the Yak. 😎
I love your videos keep up the great work
