I always love hearing about different bodies of water. The spot Spencer is fishing at looks like flathead heaven.

TOF.....this part of Guntereville is known for big blues. Not enough wood in this area to hold a large concentration of flathead. With that said....I have caught some good flat head on the lower end of Guntersville which is where Spencer is fishing in this video. In my experience it's about 2-10 ratio meaning for every 2 flathead you catch you will catch 10 blues. Biggest flathead I ever caught on lower end was 44 pounds. The big boys are in tbe elk river which is the section of lake below Guntersville lake. A lot of people don't know that the Tennessee River in Alabama is divided up into 4 main bodies of water. These sections are separated by dams. Starting from east to west you Gumtersville, Wheeler, Wilson and Pickwick. These areas are very dynamic and on all 4 bodies of water, the fish relate to current. Where I use to target trophy flathead was on Wheeler lake. The Elk river dumps into the Tennessee River. Elk river is basically fed by Tim's Ford lake which is in Tennessee. What makes the Elk so good for flathead is the wood. Just about ever bend and pocket of the Elk river has log jams in shallow water and deep. My biggest flathead to date was caught in the Elk river a d it was 71 pounds. I don't catfish anymore due to back issues. Fighting trophy cats now would put me in the hospital. I have commented in tbe past to Spencer he need to fish the Elk if he wants to see a truly massive flathead. When I targeted them I used big live bluegill and 1.5 pound crappie. Flatheads love crappie...trust me on that one! Hope I didn't bore you on the makeup of the river Spencer is fishing. In my opinion Guntersville lake is one of the prettiest lakes in the country. Very clean water as well. Heck of a crappie lake as well.

@@alexrawleigh3167 no, I enjoy it. Sounds like you’ve had a lot of success fishing. I’ve heard about Elk river before. I fish on the brazos river in Texas, very small river. Very few log jams or heavy brush, so the big rocks hold a lot of flatheads. You have my record beat for flathead. 55 is my biggest to date, on a trot line tho. You just need to supervise and let someone else strain their back lol. Win/win

I have done a few spectating guide trips. Clients didn't seem to mind! It's even tough for throwing a cast net these days but I still limp through it!

You're gonna be sleeping good every night. I bet your dogs are in good shape too. Thanks for always watching man!

@@RiverCertified Got 7 birds today! 4.65 miles covered in 5-6 inches of snow.

Thanks man, I'm gonna do my best!

Thank you dude!

He is a wise man. Happy holidays to you too sir. Thanks as always!

I want mine around 10 - 15 lbs most of the time. Test it on a scale until you have a good feel for what that's like. After a while you'll get it set right without a scale.

Haha that's the reason I make sure I have a short memory on how much money I spend on hooks and weights. Thanks for watching man.

In Iowa you get 2 rods and you have to pay for the third. Down here its unlimited.

I don't do much of that kind of fishing, but it definitely makes sense to me. I'm gonna try and do more crappie fishing though.

These were Diawa Lexa LC400. I'm gonna start working in some Piscifun Allioz 400 too.

With catfish it hasn't been much of an issue. I burp them when they come out of water over 40 feet or so. I don't name where I'm fishing.

You don't need to apologize to me.

Hahaha. Best catfishing out there. Don't know what you are looking for, bikinis? Last thing I want is to see Spencer in a bikini 😂. Seriously tho, hope you find a channel you like.

You usually have lots of kind things to say, which I appreciated. If you're having a rough time, I hope you get it figured out.
