Hey Justin, me and my dad fish in Alabama on the Coosa River. It doesn’t get the notoriety of the Tennessee river, but it has the best flathead fishing in the state and some giant blues too. It’s a much narrower river that is better suited for the kayak. We’ve caught many 50-75 lb blues and flatheads over 50 lbs. it is a perfect fit for your fishing style
That umbrella does not look goofy, do you realize how many of us envy what you're doing? But thank you for bringing us with you.
Justin, thank you for the heart!!! I was watching video and my daughter called me and we hung up, I seen your like and remembered that I was watching this video! Getting old sucks.
Planning any carp videos soon. I just started catching carp for the first time this month. I need more carp videos to get my fix when I’m not out there
I’m planning on fishing for carp on Sunday if the weather allows
Glad you didnt get skunked justin stay safe out there and may you catch you biggest fish on your next trip
Awesome. Not only catching some nice cats, but getting free words of wisdom. Wished I had it 50 years ago, but I’ve gotten old and feeling it now when I don’t get my 7-8 solid hours of sleep.
Always appreciate what you do. Always look forward to the new ones but catching up on all the old ones again thank you and highly appreciate you
Thank you so much Tonya!
So very welcome can’t wait for more
Seen you at CatCon in the MO. Moved to Missouri, normally fish bank on bottom. You and Daniel feom Catfish Sumo prompted me to buy a kayak and grt out there. Cant afford a boat... still trying to figure it out, but both of you content gives me confidence to keep trying. My normal catch is small channel cats, darn it. Will keep watching and try to learn more. Concidering the master class with you and Daniel on his site.
Good luck, thanks for the content!
Thanks! Hope you get those Missouri cats figured out.
I mainly fish wilson and wheeler. Good to see you in my neck of the woods.
I hope to fish Wilson in the near future.
If you are still in alabama, fishing at lake guntersville is one of the lakes for big blues and flats!
You sir are a legend. Love watching your videos. You’ve help me a lot
Should try fishing at triana, also on wheeler lake
Wait ten years! Enjoy every second buddy.
Next time....put in at Lucy's branch. You will be right on the main river channel. If you are headed west on hwy 72, Lucy's branch will be the first left before you go over the elk river bridge. When you put in there you won't be but about 500 yards from main river channel. Lots of deep-water at this location and bluff walls.
That 1 rod on the right was getting almost all the action. Great video Justin!
Wheeler is where I was introduced to the world of big catfishing. Witnessed several 100 pound fish and the guy I fished with caught a giant so big it bottomed out the scale long before it was off the floor of the boat.
A very nice start ! A good day, and a worthwhile trip !
For what it's worth....
My best fish (lately) have been from deep holes on Wilson. A few fun size off of Wheeler, but the better sizes have been Wilson and Guntersville. J/S KEEP YOUR LINE WET !
Rick Flair whooooooo, fist pump worthy Roll Tide J. aint no secrete lake wheeler got the river monster cats. on the real note have you seen the smelt gulp in 1" its like finding gold my brother getting hard to get in my area and my last 2 amazon orders have gotten lost. but i went out this evening and got some bass and threw the gulp on the way to the ramp caught a few beautiful pumpkinseeds. a few small perch and a crappie it was hot as all hades about 84 with humidity in the humidity 60s to 70s like a sauna out there and breeze was a blessing out there. you will quickly figure out the shape of your back paddling a yak man what a sore back i had the other day. i been binging on your old videos seen you had a issue a while back too. i had a issue like that a bit back myself i could not even sit for long periods it was so bad thankfully after icing my back several times a day it subsided it about 2 weeks time. its so fun to be out there in a tiny boat and all the bass boaters look at me a little funny with there 20k+ boat probably knee deep in dept. i just smile and wave ☺☺😂😂 your vides get me so Crunk to go out and wet a line even if i dont catch big cats like you
Nice Justin! I live in Birmingham and i go all over our state to fish, we have a great healthy fishery here. Largest landlocked striper was caught at black warrior river here in Bama!
That ramp you launched from is about 9 miles from my house. Glad to see you were down here in our neck of the woods, and yep, we are not fond of Vols..........Roll Tide
Fish wilson lake. Thats where more people fish below wheeler. We use a ramp right next to the main channel. Little cove is 25+ ft deep to the entrance and drops to 40 ft not to far
The fish in Alabama are like our football team they will give you one hell of a fight.
I've figured out how to make a top for my kayak and it work's great 👍👍👍
You are on one of my favorite catfish lakes. There and Wilson lake. If I fish Wilson I fish just down from Shoal Creek. There is a hole that’s over 100’ there.
Nice fish and another great video make me want to Wheeler on my fishing hit list thanks for taking us along another great video as always
Bro the catfish are huge! I wish could catch catfish that big. You should try fishing in smith mountain lake in Virginia.
Thanks for the road trip!
Thank you Slim! I appreciate it.
Woohoo 👊!!! Great catch! Four hour drive both ways is long! Getting old ain’t fer wimpies. 😊
Thanks Lynn!
Watching this one from NIH. Thanks for the video Justin.
Hope your treatment is going well
Would love to see you take a farther trip for wels catfish
Glad you could make it to Alabama…. I live in North Alabama love your content and keep up the great work.
I just tried those damn flies never again. I went dragging for catfish with my friend in water from 10 to 15 ft. Because there was a ton of bait fish stacked off a flat next to a old creek channel. To my surprise,we hooked 3 large pike plus a few catfish plus some really nice snags .
We have camped and I have fished that lake a couple of times but not for catfish. Looks like we'll have to try in the spring.
That was a nice blue u caught money. Thanks for sharing and enjoyed the video as usual. Stay safe brother…
You put in at second creek. If you would have gone up there is some deep water bybsome bluffs. Great flathead area. From second creek ramp youbare a good way to main river. Second creek dumps out right there at wheeler dam. Good fish youncaugjt for a lake you are not use to.
Northern Illinois has been under heat advisory since noon! 7/27 today. Triple digit heat index at 90 degrees!
Great video. Something I learned while catfishing, if you rub a belly on a cat or pat it, he will open his mouth. Don't know why but that always works for some reason.
Roll Tide. Glad to see you fishing Bama
The boat ramps on the south side of the river are closer to the river channel. 😊
Thanks! It's definitely hot in Alabama. Be careful buddy
Thank you so much Jimmy!
Good luck tomorrow. I will be watching thanks for the cool cat fish videos 🇺🇸✌️
watched a couple videos now you've inspired me to catfish i caught a 12 pounder the other day I i love your accent by the way
U don't have live streams I can throw money at, so here ya go...lol hope u had a good time
Thank you Cody! I appreciate your support.
It's np at all, keep up the great work
What was that sir? 👊🏾 pump action you say!!! I think so!!! Keep dropping lines bud!!!
Great video really enjoyed watching learned a lot
Thanks!
Thank you Charles! I appreciate you.
It has to be hot there where you are at. Even under your umbrella. Indiana watching.
Holy cow I been waiting for you!!! Golly woper time my brother!!!!😊😊
Why aren't u using your drag sinkers?
Launch out of engals harbor in Decatur AL
Roll Tide by the way 🤣 I respect ya'll though ya don't give up 😆
I have fished Wheeler a few times,it's totally different than the Tennessee river. It's not a good lake to be in in bad weather. I caught many from 30 to 50 and the best was 78lbs. You never talked much about your Garmin fish finder . I have two the like yours but without livescope. It would be great to hear what you think.
What a wonderful fishing 🎣🎣🎣🎉🎉🎉
Nice fish! Keep on fishing for us!
Great vid and definitely some catfish that are not missing the groceries.
A lot of funsizor cats today.👍👍👍👍
You were on 2nd creek in the last segment and had you went about a 1 mile more west and turned left at the light south onto HWY 101 and went 2 to 3 miles just on the left before you cross Wheeler Dam is a boat ramp on the main river. The main channel is just out from the ramp. Try that next time.
Beautiful lake Wheeler. That's where the biggun lives ❤❤
I will definitely be back down there again at some point.
My uncle just bought a 835 acre deer hunting farm in shorter Alabama we from South Carolina but that place reminds of home but I went up and fish the Alabama river and caught channel cats I was thinking I know how much you hate them things but they were perfect dinner size
Would love to see how you fair coming to Lake Erie we have some sumo size flatheads and big channel cats
I'm about to unwrap my Gollywhopper rod - and I'm surprised to see that it shipped in one long tube! I feel like a kid in a candy store.
Hope you like it. Catch some monsters!
Great video thanks a bunch
Awesome video Mister Justin
Welcome to north Alabama. I’m not far from Decatur.
great video. a few fish, one nice one. just driving 4hrs. l would of been shot lol. stay safe.
I think some of the biggest catfish in Alabama will be on the Alabama river through Cahaba runs into it
Nice fan and umbrella I would have a larger fan you cant ever be to prepared nice place to fish too . Hay Alabama blue kitty's hit the like and subscribe button
Them's some of them nuklear cats. I have gone out with the TVA biologist electro-fishing near there, lots-o-fun.
My dad was just at Alabama good job
So you only comment back to members....crazy man i been watchin your channel long time and you never answer back to my comments. I truly enjoy your content and have for a long time...just would be nice to hear back from ya just once. gd luck justin ill always support ya channel..tight lines and show some love to the darn channel cats
According to UA-cam, you have only commented 7 times and I have now responded three times. That’s a pretty good percentage.
Justin i truly appreciate it. Cant wait for the next episode.
I had 2 previous channels also Justin thats why
That's my area if u launch from Decatur your right there at the channel
I'll be watching this when I wake up... Just got off work....
Taking the guys from church tomorrow night to chase cats they all bass fish hopefully they’ll grow up and realize they was chasing bait all these years
That's good stuff.
Any chance you can do video on your kayak. I keep hearing you bolt your rod holders down and curious how your doing it.
I did a walkthrough video of my kayak a couple years ago and went into detail on how I mounted the rod holders
Wish i was able to go out and do this
Omg!! U aren’t far from me!! I live in Cullman!!
Deepest spot I fish is about a 8-10 foot hole in a 5-6 foot river. 51lb flathead on 8' of line was incredible
Just wondering if you have catfished up in scottsboro, alabama? I have a camper spot at Goose Pond colony and the deep river channel isn't too far from my spot. Gonna try take the kayak out this weekend amd fish the drop off where it goes from 16 to 33 in depth.
I haven’t ever fished there. I hope to get down there at some point soon though.
You are on another road trip I can only assume Daphnie is being good at your mom and dads!
She actually was well behaved this time
Nice!!! Great catch
My husband loves watching you he catfishes from. Shore because he doesn't have a boat yet. He asked me for some barided line because he sees you use it. What line would you most recommend, catfish braid, Hercules, or dorisea?
I use 40lb zebco Cajun mono
Guntersville lake has way more boat ramps and better fishing
You are in Alabama catching catfish while I’m in Alabama for a wrestling tournament 😂
there are some big cats in there and if anyone can catch them suckers its you and Daniel may have to tag team that one next time.
That’s a kitty with attitude
Been waiting to see you on wheeler
Wish I could have spent a few days there
@@KayakCatfish yeah that place has some big catfish.
that fan at that speed kept ya cool? it looked so slow Justin. i know its hott in Alabama
I needed the battery to last all day
So please tell me if you would what type of rod and reels are you now using? Thank you.
All my gear is listed in the video description
When are you coming to pickwick?
No plans at the present time
You should fish with Richard Gene whileat Alabama.
Did you go see Richard Gene the fishing machine while you was there?
I wasn’t looking for him
Dont be embarrassed by the umbrella, I hear they're selling out at Walmart now! Gonna be a sea of umbrellas on the Tennessee River! Maybe uou need to sell some logo umbrellas!
What line do you use? What test?
You always cut the Gut Pocket off in previous videos, Any reason why you left these on? GREAT VIDEO!!
I wanted to see how many people would comment about me not doing it lol
Holy Cow 😳😃👍 Wow !
Doesn't matter what body of water you're on , if there's fish in it you're catching them!
Good bait for big cats is chicken breast, bacon fat, bloody liver . Good fishing.
they have gafftopsail in alabama dont they?
Never heard of it
@@KayakCatfish it’s a sea catfish, I originally thought that’s why you went down to alabama when I read the title
Umbrella … Check, Fan Check , water squirting seat … forgot it .
Imagine catching catfish on both ends of the Tennessee River.
I live on wheeler lake
If you wanna know a few ramps close to the main channel in the area you were get with me I’ll mark them on a map and send it over to you. I’m headed out in the morning to the last spot on this video. A lot of good deep points in there
