Follow my journey as I embrace semi-retirement as a new KZreadr (Fishing Relaunched) creating unique fishing content. My twist is that I took a 40 year pause from fishing and now have the time to relaunch that passion and learn new techniques sometimes stumbling along the way but alway focused on continually improving as an angler.
At this stage in my life, I have the time and live in a location that allows me to the opportunity to fish to my hearts content. So given this, I have relaunched my interest in fishing to new heights and find it incredibly enjoyable in so many ways.
I love a good challenge and this has offered that up in abundance.
As Forrest Gump said, life is like a box of chocolates you never know...
well fishing is like very much like that too. You just never know how your day is going to unfold. And that is what keeps us coming back time and time again.

hey how about a wacky dropshot?
Sure. lol
Drops shot
A honest prediction. Thanks for watching!
wacky rig all day bass cant resist it! I actually went fishing for the first time in Canada yesterday and caught a 2-3 pound smallie was so happy I definitely need to get out to georgian bay
Welcome to fishing in Canada! So many lakes to choose from but Georgian Bay definitely is a great place for many different species.
I found the exact same dollar store ones. my go to lure now, i have caught pike,walleye,perch and bass with it. it also casts very nicely. i bought the other colors but this gold blackish one seems to be the best
They are the best value fish catching lures.
I have that exact lure it's a Abu Garcia lure rip off Abu narrow spoons can't remember the exact name some fancy name
The profile is similar to the Mepps Cyclops spoon. The colours vary wildly from there. They’re narrower than most and are right up there with my favourite spoons. I did a video on the Mepps spoon vs a swimbait last year.
Never seen this "Battle Beatle" That thing is awesome!!
My daughter found it for me Lol
@@fishingrelaunched4864 haha where!?
No idea. Was a Father’s Day gift 😀
Try pulling the hooks away from the body of the frog a bit. A lot of times the hooks are too close to the body and it makes it harder to hook those smaller bass.
That’s a good tip. Next time for sure. 👍
Battle Beetle - that's crazy cool! 🤠
It’s a keeper!
I've got both color spoons, and I've NEVER caught a fish on the yellow one, but the red-and-white stripe Dardevle is one of my best lures.
The daredevil is a classic because it catches fish. The five of diamonds, in my experience, and many others who have commented, is one of the best. You should think about giving it another chance.
@@fishingrelaunched4864 I'll definitely give it another chance, as I just started fishing again after at least 15 years off. So far I've only caught one fish, and it was on a red and white Dardevle! 🙂
@@tenrec Best of luck to you. Spoons in general are good for Pike but attract other fish for sure too.
@@fishingrelaunched4864 The last fish I caught when I stopped fishing 15 years ago was a nice pickerel on the Dardevle. Last week I caught (of all things) a bullhead catfish on it!
i ususally catch more on swim jig but crankbaits are usually bigger fish on avg for me
I've found both to do ok. Generally Bass seem to like the crankbaits and Pike like the swim jig.
Cool! Love Pike fishing and nothing fights harder than a small mouth 🤠
Thanks. Yes smallies always hit above their weight class. Fun fish for sure!
Used swim jigs all day today. Caught a lot of rock bass and crappie.
Swim jigs are so versatile. They come in all shapes and sizes for any type of fish.
Looks like fun. When is your merch going to be available?.
Thanks Bill. I’ll let you know as soon as it’s available. Heading to Ontario this summer? PM me and let me know.
Yup been using samething in the ponds I fish bass for. Brought in a few 8 pounders on a beat up worm
For sure, if its working no point changing. Congrats on those 8 pounders.
Five a diamond
Good guess!
Love the old school reels ! Have you had them from your past?
I used an old Mitchel reel to land the first Pike. That used to be my Dads. It’s at least 40 years old.
@@fishingrelaunched4864 Awesome! Gotta love it 🤠
great video! hoping to be able to fish soon and see a pike on the end of my line since we only had small chain pickerel where I grew up
They are all over Canada. People even catch them in Lake Ontario around the harbour front area and the Toronto islands.
Its always good to try out a new lake. That pike fought hard!
Yes, thick pike. Happy to find a couple out there.
The fun of new lakes is using your skills and knowledge to find fish. I love having go to places but finding new spots is fun. I try to go up north for a week and fish a new lake and see what I can find….one day is never enough.
Absolutely! I have to do more of that!
I drove by the marina and didn’t see your boat. Thought I’d be seeing a video soon
Yes thanks, I have the slip paid for just waiting for my boat cover to come in. Soon I hope.
Nice to see that you’re exploring local waters and using your trailer! You’ve got such an abundance of great fishing areas around Parry Sound ! 🎣 tight lines bro
Thanks bro! There are a just a few lakes. lol. You getting the kayak out soon?
Nice to see another fishing video, I just moved to Etibicoke hopefully I can get some fishing in my first year here going to be a leaning curve for sure
Enjoy the journey. I restarted fishing after a long pause and it was like learning all over again. But I loved every minute of it.
Hard to beat a Len Thompson, I caught my largest pike and largest lake trout on the same spoon. The biggest silver one they made at the time.
It is hard to beat! No tackle box should be without one!
new sub good stuff
Thanks very much!
Hey hey! Nice one!
Hey thanks!
Jerkbait for the win!! Pike fishing looks like fun. 👏 SUBBED!
Thanks for the sub! I will be sure to check out your channel. Pike fishing really is a blast. They strike hard and fast. Just have to watch out for their sharp teeth when handling them.
Welcome back to the water. Well, you gotta get the rust off after a long off season. You landed a great one. Awesome shoreline. Real gorgeous. Congrats on the lure recovery.
Thanks! It’s been a long winter. Fishing season is the best season of all!
Color doesn't matter. The finish of the back is what affects results.
good way to get back out after that loss no worries get more!!! love it
Thanks bud! Gotta keep’er going.
Welcome back 🤠
Good to be back!
What?! Did you have a fish 😜
Not used to netting them from shore. Lol
@@fishingrelaunched4864 adds to the shows drama! Gotta love it 🤠
Little cleo is my confidence lure for rivers. I have caught a dozen species on them.
COOL!!
The dollar store one; I got one identical! Different colors though! Reminded me of a couple cheap lures that caught me lots of mackerel lol but the colors of the one I got are horizontal fading between green red and yellow mine is by Red Wolf and its called a "Swedish spoon" but I cannot find it anywhere on the internet until now! I got it in hopes it would be good for trout. Good to see it's doing well for you; has me feeling good about that one now!
That dollar store lure and others shaped like it has been a consistent producer of pike for me. It seems to sift through weedy areas better than other spoons, perfect for a fish that likes to ambush from heavy cover. A silver version of that had done really well for me too.
Why does everyone pass on their Mako 2 pack pre-rigged paddle tail minnows?! They are the best for pike!! They come in so many colours, from glitter blue, glitter chartruce, silver minnow, baby walleye and glitter clear! Plus afterwards you still have a weighted jig head you can use. Same goes for their 5 inch baby pike lure. Its one of my favourites!! Always nice to see more people giving some love to the dollorama lures! Have you found their mythical giant lures yet? 😅
either way they all work. ol school lures. red/yellow red/white they all catch. y the been here for decades. all pretty much same. throw in a lil cleo spoon n compare. us sconnie fisherman know spoons for pike
Most definitely spoons are great pike catchers and any given day one can outperform the other.
lolol yeah, those Pike can really mess up a net 😖
I’ve had a few tangled messes thanks to pike.
Christmas A? You and your family have a great Christmas 🎄! And may your hands smell like fish every time you hit water in the new year 🤠
Thanks so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family too! 🎄🐟⛄️
For larger predator species, I would say plastic in most cases, but for some predator species and all smaller species and stuff in between, I’d say live worms
Thanks for your comment. That seems to align with my experience too. Pan fish, perch love worms. For larger bass I always use my plastics.

Over yhe last60 years of fishing in Canada I have come to the conclusion that a Len Thompson black and yellow outfishes the red and yellow 5 of diamonds.
Interesting. I may have to do a fishing challenge on that one.
Next time try two different fishing lures the lem Thompson gold and orange and the one with white and green
Not a bad idea. Two spoons from the same maker but different colours. Thanks for the suggestion.
I guessed catfish on a drop shot. I was close. The spoon is definitely a great lure.
Hey thanks for the comment! I could see a drop working for sure. I was surprised I got a cat with a spoon.
Wowser on the catfish!
Thank you.
Meee---wow.
Hahah. Right you are!
I guessed a Lake Trout then I saw it was a catfish. wow.
That’s what I thought! Lol
Halfway lake? Bon Echo? Algonquin?
Nope not there. Think bigger body of water.
HEY where you fishin at?
Georgian Bay, Ontario
Why tho
Because it works!
Hi, if you make a perfect lure with nothing more to do than cranking , it's not fishing ,that's why i prefer popper .You must do the job to make the lure alive.
It definitely engages you more on the retrieve.
