  • What's up Folks!?!? Another BANGER in the books! I met one of my favorite subscribers and now homie Torrick down on Stubbs off Lake Conroe where we were able to get on some really nice pre-spawn crappie. As always, we had a blast, and had a nice visit with the Texas Game Wardens who finally checked my fish! I wasn't shy with telling them to look in the box, as yall know I'm usually only putting slabs in the box and letting those little fish swim another day.
    Hope you enjoy the content, and THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!!

    These dudes are friendly af, I’ve seen way too many videos grown ass men crying when someone gets close to their spot and starts catching fish etc. bruh is just shooting the breeze and having a good time bringing them in the boat. Damn, I love that. Also fish and game is doing their job. Keep people legit and honest… people act like they’re out to harass etc… gotta remember we don’t have the population like we did a couple hundred years ago… if everyone went out and over hunted then where would we be? Just my .02

      @@fishingbythenumbers Thank you Sir. It is funny that I ran across your channel as I have been wondering how one of those 360 cameras would work. Was thinking it might be easier than the 3 cameras that I am dealing with now. Really hard to edit. I appreciate the kind words my friend.

    • @fishingbythenumbers
      @fishingbythenumbers  6 місяців тому +1

      They’re cool to have but there are a few drawbacks. It doesn’t record 360 in 4k, so the footage is only captured in 1080p, and for editing you have to select the portion of the 360° that want for each frame. So all the camera movements that you see in my videos is something that I’m setting when editing. It takes a while to produce the final product, but it is nice to have vs multiple cameras. I can walk you through it one day if you want, just let me know!

    Hey, what kind of trolling motor do you have there? I've got one, but it's a small off brand. Looking to try to get a better one if possible. Did you have to modify it, to work. Appreciate you and your videos.

    • @fishingbythenumbers
      @fishingbythenumbers  6 місяців тому +1

      My kayak came with a minn kota 45lb thrust trolling motor but it’s not mechanically sound and I’ve been going back and forth with Johnson Outdoors on a warranty claim for over 2 weeks now. The other one on the back of my kayak is a Torqeedo 1.5hp motor that works really well. No modifications made to either motor. Minn Kota is a good brand, whoever designed the one for the Old Town AP just did a bad job with some of the components.

    • @fishingbythenumbers
      @fishingbythenumbers  6 місяців тому +3

      Definitely doesn’t take the chase out, it enhances the chase just like game cameras and infrared scopes enhance hunting. You still have to hunt them down using side imaging and down imaging, but you can pinpoint them with the livescope…. Have you ever tried it independently? It will humble you at first, and it takes quite a bit of time to figure out and perfect. Beats staring at a bobber or dropping down hoping a fish hits your jig. You can know if they’re home or not and also willing to eat or not! Trust me, it’s still a chase and just as fun!

    What are your thoughts on the mercury level in them? I used to fish in East TX near Toledo Bend. There were a lot of slab crappie, but they were full of Mercury .

    • @fishingbythenumbers
      @fishingbythenumbers  7 місяців тому +8

      I’m typically not too concerned about mercury levels in crappie since the ppm is usually lower and they contain far less fatty tissue where that and PCBs would be stored. I’m more concerned with other contaminants like PCBs and dioxins. I monitor consumption advisories for all bodies of water that I fish, and I hardly ever see crappie on any advisory list for the reasons I mentioned. But if I ever see them on one, I likely would be throwing them back! Great question, and that’s certainly something we should all be watching for!

      Lol when a troll gets in his feelings about camera Angles like he is the professional, shut it down dude. This man is living the life, if you don't like him looking at his equipment then move on because your subscription will be replaced almost instantly guaranteed! He has the setup frfr. Such a good overlay on the top right of what's going on, his ability to maintain speaking, maneuvering, monitoring the camera is skills that you develop. 🎉 Id say this man has the skills to become a legend soon. Excellent content bro, keep it coming! New subscriber to replace the last right here!

    I came for the warden. Watching Livescope ain’t my thing. Good luck to you.

      Yeah, I throw em back alright. Back in the cooler! But in all seriousness, I throw back some…like I told another commenter, those crappie drop tens of thousands of eggs, if 5% survive that’s still contributing to the population. For conservation, the state imposes limits which I abide by! But you can throw yours back if you want! 😝
