I was frustrated before I came across your channel always trying to find something to do and less going on the phone. I bought myself a Diawa reel and ultra light diawa rod. My life is completely different now. Thanks man

This makes me so happy. Get off the phone and go catch fish. That is what this channel is allllll about. So happy I read this today.

We are officially being spoiled with this series, it's making me want to hit the river this weekend more than ever

@FishAnything since I posted that comment I've took river fishing seriously and caught my PB bulltrout (profile pic),arctic grayling,walleye and rainbow trout. Thank you for the inspiration to get out and try new things sometimes a guy gets stuck in a routine.

@@austinhall485 it’s addicting , kind of like lmbs in lakes or whatever but this is crazy bc in some places you can see the fish , I caught mine in a creek that’s less than 10ft wide

I got my PB smallie, an 18.5” 4.5lb fish, on a 130 munky butt plopper over by Johnson Park last Labor Day. Don’t underestimate their willingness to nail a BIG bait.

Loving your channel and your tackle. This series taught me some things. I bank fish on Tonquish creek in Michigan. I'm using a 30 inch CE dock rod so I can cast from the brush on the bank. Watched this series and caught a couple 12ish inch smallies. I think I'm dialed in. Burrow bug and a bronco blade (stripped the blade paint off to the brass). Thing is the fish are where the snags are, hence another order. Worth every penny. Wish I could share a pic.

I’ve watched (and rewatched) your videos a bunch and just noticed at the 6:17 mark the tree behind the one you were snagged on appears to be LOADED with chicken of the woods mushrooms.

@FishAnything

Ай бұрын

Thanks for watching (and rewatching)! I’m not much of a mushroom guy so I didn’t really notice, but maybe I need to forage in the future 🤠

Try a Zara spook in the og frog like colors , absolutely irresistible, definitely the go to on a slow bite , if the plopper doesnt find them that will.

@FishAnything

9 ай бұрын

I love a good spook bite, but I find that I rarely pick them up in the kayak because of how much less water I can cover. In a boat with a trolling motor, I feel like you can keep working them without skipping a beat. In the kayak, it slows me down quite a bit.

Ole Wayner! Enjoying the series Ethan, good to see a casting reel in your hands. Let me give you a little old man advice for those river trips: electrolytes and Liquid IV. Stay hydrated and those days are easy, even in the heat. Get that 20 bud

Great video Ethan. I love the Whopper Plopper but not a big fan of the hooks that come with the lure. Change out to a better quality hook and it's my guess you'll lose fewer fish.

I have that problem with landing big bass myself tbh👀…? I’ve hooked into a bass over 3 lbs maybe four times in my life, and each time I saw those fish, they almost always immediately got off 👀😩! One on a blue and black jig with a matching goat Z man trailer cut short👀, one fishing a 3 inch gulp minnow on one of your biggest Mule jig heads you make in purple🤔(my favorites are the purple ones…😅), and one on a swimming Yum dinger in watermelon red flake 👀…

Great series. I just got a fishing kayak and been consuming a lot of videos on it. I haven’t really fished in 20ish years, but seeing all the trouble you had with the trebles, does it make sense to replace the treble with a single hook?
