it was a real eye opener

Lmao great video, the part at 6:00- 7:00 had me in tears, your like "i feel stupid" blank expression from your friend then your rod goes flying lol good shit. PS. thanks for this video I've been using Williams Ice Jigs going to give the Meegs a try.

The 6+ minute hook set where the rod flew out of your hand was great! LOL I'd do the same if I had action like that.

You can tell Tom from Fatal Force loves his job as a guide. Showing a fellow fishermen the tricks and sticking around to watch him nail them. A true teacher right there.

The best part of teaching is the messages later on that the clients are catching them good on their own

That's amazing - great video!!!! Go Meegz!!!!! Great to see your reaction.

Great video,thx for sharing.did laugh when your rod went flying,lol.

it still happens on occasion

That's awesome. I was coming in skunked today and some dude stopped me in the parking lot asking how I did. After I told him I marked a few but couldn't catch 'em he broke out his Meegs box and gave me the same lesson this guy probably did. Now, after that lesson and this video... I'm dropping by Trombly's tomorrow and trying my hand again.

OK, looks like I too, will have to revisit the meegs. I've been doing alright on a goby tube imitation, but not THAT good! Cheers Robo.

Nice rod flip man!!!! Haha f**king awesome

awesome vid like always!

So they do work, just have to know how to use them. Havent caught anything on my meegs yet lol... Awesome vid, and see ya on Saturday man👍🎣

Wow unbelievable!!! What a day! Great video!

I catch em on the Meegz occasionally but not like that.... looks like i gotta start experimenting with my technique... Nice job man!

Epic rod catch bro. I was in tears laughing 😂

That’s great! Nice work!

Man that was awesome and informative. And, thanks for making a point of showing the adipose on the opening laker after I bugged you about it so much. Then again, I think the later laker had his adipose missing (the one with RV clipped)...😁

@SteveRowbothamfishing

almost always a 1/2oz

nice catch Steve made me laugh my ass off, i have been trying to tell my buddies how to fish the meegs and your video shows it perfect, i was over working it as well and probably tapping the bottom to hard and kicking up too much dust but suttle movements seems to trigger them

That's wicked.... never to good to learn.... well done brother!

Reel Canadian Lunker Hunter fishing is such a humbling sport. If you don't stay open minded, you'll get left in the dust. When experienced anglers talk, I listen.

Tom showed me the proper technique a few years back an my catch ratio went up 1000% He's got a few other baits that he uses, that will totally blow your mind when fished properly.

Hahaha that one hook set made me laugh out loud! I had the privilege after I beat cancer to go with Tom as my buddies paid for the trip as celebration. AMAZED non stop action! So simple I felt dumb like you said. Tight lines Steve great video

hey steve, quick question for you. First, what size meegs do you most feequently use? Second, what Lb leader do you tend to use for lakers/whities

@SteveRowbothamfishing

4 жыл бұрын

6lbs leader and a 3/8 - 1/2 oz jig usually

Wow! Do you tie your line directly to the meegs eyelet and slide the knot to the rear of the eye, then gently bounce the nose on the lake bottom, making the meegs look like it is feeding on the bottom?

Iceout 1 👌

Was that a double trilene knot the guide was using to keep the meegs tail up? It looked like he pulled it all the way to one side to keep the tail up??

Steve i tip mine with a walleye plastic white jig bait . Are you using a white trout tube . Ive done ok with it but not like that .

nice hook set at 6:40 lol

All about the lake chatter to get the real tips ;)

when people talk fishing, I listen, You never know what you could learn

Steve are you just suspending it a foot or so off bottom and then when you mark fish drop it down and bounce it? Looks deadly

What do you have on the Meegs? Looked like some sort of skirt?

Dennis G mini tube jig cut in half to make a skirt. Thread on the skirt with a newer meegs as it has a bait holder on it now.

Hey bud, Nice video. Do you happen to know of a way to contact your guide buddy for a guide? Thanks

Scott Cunningham it's gonna be difficult to explain without seeing or feeling it. Ultimately, the easiest way to explain is that I was overworking it.

You should I bet a lot of people would watch, I've been getting on the schools and such but they bite weird and they have came up to just under my ice hole when there is a school for about half hour then they vanish, sorta weird tbh.

No they were whities as we were catching them but it was strange how close they came, we bumped bottom and no luck but when reeling up they came in a total swarm for roughly half hourish.

So why not show what the new technique is? Don't need to see dozens of fish caught over and over.....
