Catching HUGE FISH from SMALL STREAMS!! (Kayak Fishing)

For real, catching a big fish out of a big river or whatever is cool. Catching a monster fish out of a dinky little muddy creek makes it even better! I always wonder what's under the water, and when I get to reel it in, that's pretty sweet!

Hey man. Brilliant channel. Grew up in Iowa on the Wapsipinicon (Wapsi). 20 years ago I met a beautiful Norwegian girl and switched countries. There aren't too many things I miss from the states aside from family and friends, sweet corn and catfishing. There are no big ugly mean brown things over here, except for halibut in the ocean. Really enjoy your channel. Brings back a ton of memories. Keep up the good work. Already looking forward to the next episode. If you ever find yourself in Norway, look me up. I'll buy you a beer.

One night me and my buddy were doing a flathead trip during the mayfly hatch. The bugs were thick on top of the water, and for probably a one mile stretch of river there were channel cats skimming the surface with their top lips out of the water just cruising around scooping up mouthfuls of bugs . I'm talking between 12"- 30" channels. 1#-10+# probably 250 of them or better. They were all below a large power plant downstream of the warm water run-out from the plants cooling system. Only time I've ever seen them ride the surface like that. Awesome video though

Hey bud fishing brush piles is my "specialty." I call it precision guided fishing like precision guided bombing because i put my bait right on top of them to do the most damage and then work the bait out around the snags when I'm moving my bait around. I have been fishing brush piles for 25 years and it's my favorite kind of fishing. You can't give them one inch of slack, hook getting turned around and out of the snag. I use 9 foot ugly stick with a Garcia 7000c3. You cannot beat the Garcia gear ratio and drag for not giving in when your cranking big flatheads out of heavy cover. But just a suggestion I only use one pole and I hold it the entire time I'm fishing heavy brush piles because I have more authority over my bait and can keep him moving when he's not or keep him from going deeper into the snag. It keeps it simpler when your fishing for 50 plus pound flatheads in that crap. Love the video!
