Joshua David - 6 years ago

Was out yesterday on a lake here in Michigan and found hundreds of gizzard shad schooled up in the shallows. Big ones too, 12+ inches

tom wilson - 6 years ago

My biggest bass was from a 2.5 in broken back rapala. 11.5 lbs. So i always use small baits.

Love the Binsky blade bait..

J. Bright - 6 years ago

Thanks for the informative video. Doesn't matter to me if the bite is slow, it's your thought process I'm wanting to learn from. We have zero open water here in MN and can't even fish for bass until mid-May, so keep at it and I will live through you until I can get on the water here.

NickVargas Fishinfool - 6 years ago

Just moved to Colorado from upstate New York this week with the family. I’m looking forward to the spring fishing around here. The couple little lakes I’ve seen are iced out already.

Nick Ward - 6 years ago

It sucks right now but you gotta pull out the drop shot

Shawn Knopsnyder - 6 years ago

blizzy402 - 6 years ago

i've caught quite a few already this year and i've been using the lipless cranks here in lancaster county

9 h - 6 years ago

Dude what the fuck is wrong with you, you need to wet your hands before handling ! Trout are very delicate fish and holding them without wet hands strips them of there slime coat. And taking them out of the water really stresses them out, sometimes to the point where they stop eating and die. You gotta learn how to handle trout the RIGHT way!!!!

JUST JOKING

9 h - 6 years ago

Can I ask what's up with the red wedding ring?

Milliken Fishing - 6 years ago

Silicone ring from Qalo

Russ * - 6 years ago

This question is definitely off topic for this video but I've been trying to find the video where you mentioned the plastic bait company who's baits were much more durable than others... and it's been like looking for a needle in a haystack for me... Could you point me in the right direction? It would be greatly appreciated...

Mike West - 6 years ago

I always use a ball peen hammer to remove trout, i have been told not to touch them.

Ray Warren - 6 years ago

rangerbull - 6 years ago

Yeah like he said. You handled trout wrong. Should have released them in a frying pan.

ObiWanShinobi1 - 6 years ago

Maybe that triple should be your homescreen? - Cause nobody's going to believe that. I just saw it, and I'm still not sure I saw it.

Charlie Blanchard - 6 years ago

I sware if anyone complains about him not wetting his hand before handling the trout

Jake orr - 6 years ago

I live in North platte, im working in New Mexico but will be back in a week, do you think slow grinding a medium size swimbait would get a bite? Or maybe a underspin? Also I think you should go check out the new Gary Yamamoto "cowboy". As a jig trailer

Josh sabota - 6 years ago

You're right, if it wasn't a challenge... That is the point of any effort and we see too many productions that make it look easy, but in the end, we know that it isn't easy at all.

Robert Lease - 6 years ago
