  • I always wanted to fish in a boat below the dam at Lake Cumberland, and I finally was able to thanks to my good friend Jon. Check it out, as we got on a pretty hot bite!

    Don't think Chase will ever forget that trip. Looked like a pretty good boat hand, he was all over that net anything someone hooked up. Good work gents!

    I like how the camera didn't show you putting those walleye back.Never be concerned about what other people think.

      I honestly can't remember if he kept them or not. Older vid so I'd have to watch. But yeah if it's legal I'll harvest once here and there. I know a trip or two ago we did good. Kept a few and added to a mess in the freezer of crappie I'd caught at grayson. Fed like 15 people back in April for a big celebration. Was a great time. Walleye crappie bluegill and a hybrid striped bass. Great memory of friendship.

    Nice...down in South Carolina , at a hydra electric dam when it would kick on and the water would rise up a foot. The stripers would come, smack the shads on the surface. Stun them and gobble up the shads.
    My wife missed a big one with a shad jerk bait

    Near St. Paris , Ohio , there's Kiser Lake, a 394 acre paddle only lake.
    That place has serveral species.
    That place has huge "Wipers" , hybrids white striped Bass.
    I have to finish moddin my kayak and get out there. The fish are in the middle on the bottom

      Great catch there at Wolf Creek I witnessed the 38 pounder over 30 years ago get caught by the guy that ram rotted the nuclear plant before the lake was ever open he put a 38 pounder on his wall after that he caught some around 42 to 44 lb so I'm certain there is a state maybe world record waiting on that young man right there at Wolf Creek I know he's in there I used to guide Beaver lake caught a lot of 40 pounds and I believe Wolf Creek will be the next world record freshwater striped bass so keep that young man in that boat let him get it

      Jonathan (the bearded guy) actually brought shiners from a nearby bait shop. I think there is one in Monticello? But, that being said, after fishing that day I know for a fact that hair jigs, swimbaits and spoons would work too.

      @thesaltygoogan  3 роки тому

      Long distance I use surf gear. Personally I use a saltwater setup. But here I had a 2500 sized reel with 8lb mono and a good med fast rod. But if I could do it again on this setup I'd use 10 or 12 lb mono
