Big fish come out at night lots of times. Fishing off the bank is usually more comfortable. You can stretch your legs, make a fire, really kickback. BUT, fishing out of a kayak or boat is lots of times the best way to position your baits in the spot they're most likely to get hit. So that's what we did, and I hooked a MONSTER!

That kayak should support the basic wheels you slid in the scupper holes. Bass pro has them, the best investment

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

They're great on even terrain. Bumpy stuff will ruin your hull. Dont ask how I know 🤣

@stingforester4673 4 года назад

Hey Spencer.... Throw some lemon pepper in your “food box”...... they also make these lemon crystals ... like dehydrated lemon... definitely worth it when out cooking on a fire and dont want to carry actual lemons with you. But a bit of lemon on that flat head on the grill... oh yeah. And to take it to the next level Rachel Ray.... you can get some basil and cilantro. Here’s a killer one.... foil cook fish... butter bit of oil and fish in foil packet, you can slice potatoes and put on the bottom.. just be careful with how thin, they can burn if not careful. Put fish fillets ontop of potatoes. ... Lay on the coals... let cook about 20 minutes... when it comes out... take some chopped tomato, red onion and basil... splash or two of balsamic vinegar..... put on fish and enjoy!! I mean if you are gonna be out there cooking... do it right... kind of like your fishing... dont half step it now! Lol. Love your channel.. Please keep doing what you are doing! Is a fun to watch.

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I try to balance gormet with convenience. It's a tough line to walk lots of times. Fishing always trumps the food, so that slows down the cooking too haha

@wjhjr1415 4 года назад

@MrLobstermeat 4 года назад

Hey Okay so do not flip out.. Try using mayonnaise to keep it from sticking when grilling and it holds your choice of seasoning on.. Trust me man! I know its like WTF but it works well... Just do not put a boat load of mayo on! Also love the Gulf!!! Hooked a tarpon for the first time this year in Aug near Gulf Shores. Great video

Yes the Hair reminded me of one of my Childhood terrors, Art the Barber. My Dad took my Brother and me to him once a month for the Sheer Treatment. Nothing like being a 6 Y.O. in the late 60's and getting whacked by Art. A good Guy though, had to real barber chairs and the Pole out front and always gave my Brother and me a Tootsie Pop afterwards. I don't know how a Barber made a living but he. Loved the Catch and Cook, the fish looked great on the grill. Something I think we'll have to try.

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Hahaha I like it cuz it lasts a while and is easy to take care of. I bet I would have liked Art. Highly recommend fish on the grill!

@meghan7547 4 года назад

Flatheads or Blues on the grill, YUMM :) We often will soak them in 7-UP overnight when possible, the meat will firm up and give a soft lemon taste no mater your spice or method of cooking. Grilled fish ROCKS!

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I'm definitely gonna try that one. Sounds phenomenal! Thanks for the tip!

@benkrause3321 3 года назад

You won't regret going to a jet boat! I had a outboard jet sled built 4 years ago. Big smile on my faces every time I take her out. Built and set up just for flathead fishing. I went a little smaller though. 1755 Lowe shallow water with 90/65 obj. I can hit 40mph and run all day long in 2 or 3 inches of water! ;)

@RiverCertified 3 года назад

If I wasn't going to guide, that's exactly what I would have went with. A lot easier to move if I got stuck haha. Sounds like a badass rig man!

I run a jet. Mercury 60/40 tiller. Been looking into the gator trax cc with a 150 jet. Also looked into Havoc boats new cc, the river rat. 85 mercury jet. What brand boat are you looking into? We use ours for flattys on the shallow rivers here in LA

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I ordered a seaark. I looked into those, but they're just so dang heavy. Would be a major price jump to get a jet to power a 20 footer that weighs as much as they do.

@tobywilliamson5213 4 года назад

Got to take my nephews fishing last Saturday afternoon went to a water shed pond , the boys caught some small channels, bull head , bass and blue hill all on night crawlers , very shallow pond if it’s 3 feet I’d be surprised, creek dumps into it then it runs into another pond then into the lake .. back in the day it was just a creek and wetlands but they have developed it in last ten years , Bob the less boys had fun and bow I got a spot for bait

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

That sounds like an awesome day to me! Win-win, which is the best you can ask for!

@nwmopointhunter638 4 года назад

Great watching and would have liked to have seen just how big the unstoppable flathead really was but we will next time hopefully. On grilling the belly if you remove the lining from the belly meat it will not curl up as bad and in my opinion it’s better tasting than it already is. Just a thought you may try it next time.

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Thanks all around Shannon! I'm definitely gonna try that next time I grill flathead

Mostly due to multiple surgeries but ya.. women love some meaty men..lol

@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 4 года назад

You know Spence, flatheads have a scallop or oyster of meat on their head just behind and above , a little, their eyes, both sides. And the bigger they are the bigger the “oyster”! I found that out a long time ago, unfortunately I guess from an old boy who set out trot lines and cleaned everything he caught, even the “Golly Whopper” flatheads, I’m talking the 30, 40, 50 lb’ers and bigger too! Course he was brought meat fishing, you know what I mean?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Oh, I took out the cheeks on that one too. I fried em the next day. Keeping all the fish you caught is how it used to be, and that's cool. I just choose to let the big ones go.

@hensleyshobbies-doug7761 4 года назад

River Certified - right on, yeah folks back then didn’t have much of a choice but to keep everything they catch, either that or go hungry. Yeah I never liked to keep the big ones either, well anything 10 lbs or bigger. If I did keep any they would all be 5 lbs and smaller. I tell you though once I ate my first little Flathead, I never did keep anymore channel cats after that. lol

@SLYFOXFISHIN 4 года назад

I've never tried grilled flathead , i have ate it deep fried and its delicious . Next time I get a flathead I will have to grill it . Too bad you didn't get the big one you hooked up with could have been a 70+ lb kitty

Does Ella ever enjoy any of your catfish cooks?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

@williamhenry7 4 года назад

When did you swap the Tacoma for a Tundra?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

A couple months ago. Needed a V8 for pulling the boat next year.

@juliusjames5577 4 года назад

I like Ole’ Woody. How did he get his name?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

He was dark, barn colored when he was a puppy. Obviously he lightened up haha

@johngivens4644 4 года назад

1648 mv 60/40 tiller... still lite enough to push off a bar...

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

That is the ultimate rig if I wasn't gonna guide.

@johngivens4644 4 года назад

Sometimes the TPW has auctions.. might want to look into checking out a full inboard. No power loss if you are going to have a bunch of weight. Had a outboard jet for 10 years 98 to 2008... worst thing I ever did selling that dam boat. Kid's. Love the vids.

Dang, man. I feel for ya for losing that fish.

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Goes with the territory of chasing big fiah. Hope to get another chance!

@roncrawford2286 4 года назад

That's a good-looking River!

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I'm a fan!

@johndycus7800 4 года назад

Fried flathead > grilled flathead. All day everyday

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Yeah, it's just a nice change of pace. If you haven't liked grilled flathead much in the past, try putting fish taco seasoning on it. Hope you enjoyed the video!

@justinbandy2610 4 года назад

I have got to stop watching you on an empty stomach.

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Haha thats fair. I like to eat good haha

@nickrobinson610 4 года назад

You should try grilling gar next time you get one

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

If I get one, im gonna BBQ it!

@dextersgarden404 2 года назад

The cooking tips/end monologue should be a regular thing. Honestly enjoyed it almost as much as the fishing parts. I've never grilled catfish before, so I'm off to catch a flatty :)

@wkay15 4 года назад

Where can I find the podcast Denny was on?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I believe it was on the crappie and catfish youtube channel

@tonygruber1605 4 года назад

Have you ever tried cutting your cats into steaks before grilling them?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

I haven't, but I've hear of it. Might try that if I can get another 10 lb flathead this year.

@tonygruber1605 4 года назад

I haven't gotten the chance to try yet either. Few of my buddies say its the best way to do it though. I've gotta do a bit of a hike to find any flathead (North central WI). So I've still never tried one....😓

@dalehayslip9756 4 года назад

So are you giving up kayak fishing and moving up to a boat I think that would be great

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Definitely not giving up the kayak, but will be in the boat more. Glad you're looking forward to it!

@dalehayslip9756 4 года назад

Went out and bought a couple cotta one for me and one for my step dad .Its time to live out there until it gets to cold that's the only way I see of making up my slow summer.we only caught one 50 and one 26 was are best two fish all summer.

@danielishmael9686 4 года назад

Use flour and lemon pepper and fried oh my God

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

That's always a solid option!

@FishingWithChris_Tv 2 года назад

2 stroke exhaust is one of those weird smells that’s so enjoyable 😂

@RiverCertified 2 года назад

It's so weird that something that will kill you deader than a hammer smells like that too

@jakeolson2114 4 года назад

you only keep the smaller ones right?

@RiverCertified 4 года назад

Yeah, that's about as big of a flathead as I'll keep.

@defrainmusic 2 года назад

Really enjoy your videos bud, just curious I have noticed that some bait you hook in the tail and other days in the mouth. Is there a reason that you switch back and forth? Thanks for your help!
