These Finger Lakes videos always make me Upstate NY homesick. I love my FL inshore fishing, but I miss those football-shaped brownies. I wish my dad was still alive to see you jigging those lakers during the day. He would be all over that. He used to troll at night with lead line for them on Seneca Lake when I was a baby and decades later with downriggers. Simple & quiet jigging would have appealed to him. I've done well on big mangrove snapper in Tampa Bay on my kayak with small slow-pitch jigs. It's a blast. 👍

Did your Dad ever pull copper or just lead line? My Dad and I in the 70's pulled copper, not real thrilling but WOW could you catch a ton of fish that way.

@@JoeGraveDancer He may have pulled copper too. He liked trolling, I leaned heavily toward fly fishing. Always think about him when I troll a plug or two behind my kayak on the way out/in. Easy way to score some Spanish Mackerel & sea trout.

YAAY! More Upstate NY freshie action. People have no idea how much fun deep jigging these big aggressive lakers is, but it's a blast. Big headshakes, thumping strikes and zooming runs for the bottom, just a hoot. We bagged a load of these bruisers on Champlain this week, and had a ball. Thanks for the variety, Elias!

A sweet batch of lakers!! These lakes are super interesting!! Thanks, Elias!!

I am always happy to see your videos but REALLY happy to see you fishing the finger lakes. I learn from your videos EVERY time. I reel up way to slow compared to you after watching your last two videos. Bummer that I just left there to fish 3 hours East in the Delaware river for native Rainbows and Browns and I just missed you.

I love slow pitch jigging. I was able to buy a lot from Asian Portal when I watched your video. They were on sale about $2 a jig. I use them in the Pacific Ocean and dang awesome jigs, but needed strong hooks due to way bigger fish in the ocean. I love your videos and thanks for sharing. I learned a lot from you.

Awesome video again. I'm so happy you replaced that googan net you used to have. 😆

Hi from Perth Western Australia. I noticed the slow pitch jig you were using are very simular to the Ocean's Legacy, Slow Pitch Roven jigs. 6grams to 25 grams. 9 colours available. All at $14.99 Australian. We ship all over the world.

Pretty fish.

Great video, you are the jigging man…..

Another good day on the water. Wonder where the Browns and Rainbows are hiding? Enjoy that weather ...

They are around. Not in crazy numbers this go.

Nice and very interesting!

Nice!! Good size monsters trout. My second target species right here, love it. 👍

'Nice fishing 👍👍

👍😎✌ TY Elias

There's a couple of companies selling 20g Slow pitch jigs here in the US, takes a bit of digging to find them though. I'm going to have to order some to add to my Laker box.

I'd pay Elias to put me onto some bowfin and kayak with him.

Nice - going to be a bit before I get back into Nc inshore.

I'm having a hard time seeing the parallel between roadside ditch fishing for bowfin and jigging in 70 ft of water for lake trout. Don't know about the lake trout but the bowf in are very underrated.

Squirmy fish that are a bit moody. Tough jaw easy to drop them too.

Happy 4th of July

I'd buy myself an EliasV Laker Slow Pitch Jig

😁

Hey Elias, I've been curious about your landing net, what make and model is it?

@EliasVFishing

Custom made.

@GrimReaper68440

Hey Elias, who ever made your landing net should make more and put them up for sale on your website for purchase, and you get alittle commission from the sales. I would buy one. Looking for a 36inch handle 18 diameter hoop or 20inch hoop with at least 20 deep net rubber coated, hook resistance. Your net seems perfect for my needs. Here in California where I fish. I'll take a neon green one ,and must float. What you think 🤔

Take your limit home man, you paid for them with your license and there is no bether commercial for fish and wildlife then you. Good stuff man.

@@KENDOSLICE100 I love the Northern fishing videos! Everyone has their own opinions for sure. Catching a 40+ pound fish on a fly rod or pulling a massive fighting fish out of 180 fow from a kayak in the fall with orange, red, pink and yellow leaves on the trees can't be beat.
