Exploring TINY Creeks for HUGE FISH!!! (Kayak Fishing)

Honestly, catching the fish is the best part, but exploring new areas is a close second! Even the tiniest, dumpiest little creeks could have monster fish in them. You just gotta go out there and poke around. The poking around is my favorite!

I never get tired of the genuine excitement you get from catching fish. I could hear your voice quiver as you were talking to Denny to get over to you to help. It’s nice to know there’s other catfish geeks out there and I’m not the only weirdo. 🤣

@spudzkocielko497 4 жыл бұрын

Im right there with you bud, catfish is my favorite and followed by walleyes close second .. But its very addicting once you set the hook on a giant flathead, and when you set the hook the pole doesnt move cause fish pulling back

13:23 "How much money you got?" absolute comedy, EXACTLY what I would say to anyone I was fishing with! Another great video man, keep em coming and keep landing the big bois. I'm actually pleasantly surprised you were able to get that first one out of that tree. I think you nailed it when you said you'd be screwed if Denny wasn't there. Not to mention the carp...... what?!?!?!

Guide Denny for the win. LoL Was out on the Mississippi fishing back islands where there's current and found a bunch of stumps. Instead of bass, tons of 20lbs flatheads occupying them instead to ambush bluegills. You should give that a whirl sometime. Site fishing for cats. It was ton of fun watching them engulf 5 inch sucker minnows.

Happy 4th my friend. Great save in that brush pile. Reminds me of how we used to noodle those piles when I was younger. Pretty dangerous actually. I use 8ft muskie rods and hundred pound mono when I fish those piles. Basically a pool cue with a wench on it lol. Setting fifteen ft cottonwood poles around the edges at night works kickass as well if your just wanting to fill the freezer. Great vid as usual. Keep your powder dry.
