One of my favorite fishing memories is when I was casting from the bank at dusk and there was a solitary man fishing from his boat on the lake. I heard splashing and it was just barely light enough to see the monster muskie he had pulled in. He let out laughter and a "woo hoo" that was some of the purest human joy I have ever heard. I was so happy for that guy. I still am.

That is objectively the coolest swimbait anyone could possibly make

“One day” and “it’s official” are two of the best words on your channel! Again, I am so sorry for the loss of Chip, your best friend and family fit baby. I hope you are thinking of finding another puppy in the future.

This was my favourite build to date, that's a gorgeous bait. By the way, additional fun muskie fact - In Muskie systems where Pike are introduced, musky recruitment significantly drops. Pike spawn about 2 weeks earlier and in similar habitats, so what happens is all the juvenile pike will predate the juvenile muskies.

One of my favorite baits you have made for sure!

Man I'm still impressed almost every video I cant believe how amazing these look everytime. Great work you are an inspiration my friend.

I had a musky attack a large mouth that I was catching. Didn’t get to see how big the musky was but it bit most of the tail off the bass. The bass was 20” long.

Amazing job on the muskie bait. It looked so feel.awesome paintjob

Actually my grandfather's friend was swimming in Caesars Creek, Ohio and he had a diamond ring on his pinky Next thing he knows his friend was screaming and missing a pinky turns out that a muskie came up and attacked his hand because his finger looked like an injured Bait fish flashing.

An old fly fisherman told me when I started fly fishing and had trouble hooking fish to pinch my barbs down so there's less surface area going through the fishes mouth It instantly worked and I caught fish that otherwise I would of never had the chance at with the barb doubling the thickness of the hook, and that more then makes up for the 1 or 2 that slip the barbless hook love your channel and I use super glue baking soda when tying flies because of you lol

Nate: I am not going to try and say this word! Next statement: try’s to say the word!🤦‍♂️

Hard to believe how much improvement there is in your painting since the beginning

Best looking paint job you’ve done

Also loved how you were talking about musky during the video

This is the best paint job you’ve done yet, that is one sexy swimbait!

thank you for explaining so well i have already made one myself but we not as good as yours but i will keep trying until i get as good as yours

without a doubt the best looking lure you have made. imo.

I love the clear coat ramblings!

I made grip scales for a little pistol from watching your videos. I used like 6mm thick maple. I don't know if they'll be super durable due to how thin they are, but they're gorgeous! I did bust out a chisel for a time, but I largely used techniques that you use to shape and contour the grips. The bottoms are nicely squared off but still rounded in a way. Then they taper at the top to about 2mm thick and they just fit the hand better thaneven the stock plastic panels. I carved a step into the top to fit around the frame. I'd send a picture but you can't message on KZread anymore...

Is it me or is the carving with the knife super satisfying

very nice finish and believable colors, congratulations on a beautiful wobbler.

Looks just like the baby musky in my aquarium… good job!

Definitely one of your best looking baits! Also, loop knot.

One of my favorites you’ve made well done man.
