i really enjoyed this particularly the garbage disposal, truly an unsung hero of urban angling.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@GavinGalka can you link the bait it looks awesome I don’t really know how to fish with artificial and I want to start to use it
Oh brother am I way late with a reply. Here's the link if you haven't found it yourself: shop.clamoutdoors.com/maki.html
Regardless, it's great to learn how to use artificial and for the most part it's all I use.
I always try to take a bag or bucket of trash out of fishing holes or conservation areas. Earned my sub.
Awesome dude, love to hear it!
You deserve a bigger fan base this video was just amazing
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I love how he’s doing the intro as a nice prob 2 lb bass just strolls away into the deep and he is like oh well funny and good way to not freak out my good sir! Very important key factor
haha, I still don't know exactly what that fish was, it looked like a carp to me, but I didn't pay much attention until you and other people commented about it.
Great video! Love that rod. Might look into getting one.
Good job of the garage too
I really appreciate it! I love that rod too, if you're interested be sure to reach out to my grandpa, his contact info is in the description.
@@GavinGalka will do! Thanks for sharing
@@DrDitchpickle Yeah, no problem
fun filled catching video man - I love ultralight fishing
For sure, ultralight fishing is a blast!
Man I just watched this again & enjoyed it even more the 2nd time. That Pumpkin Seed was a really good one, & the Carp was pretty rad looking also. Brilliant on the trash & the 2LB line. Great Video!
Thank you, glad you really enjoyed it! Careful not to have too much of this one, save room for more videos lol.
Just watched this video after seeing it I loved it so I became a subscriber looking forward to watching more of your videos love and respect Paul frome p.a
Thanks,, I appreciate the support!
The best part of the vid is is his reaction to all the things he finds 😂😂
Great video, I also never go out without a trash bag. It’s essential
Thank you and keep it up, someone has to pick up slack for the litter bugs.
Nice video! Thanks for the clean up. I've never understood why people who spend time outdoors trash their fishing spots.
Thank you! Me neither, I don't get it.
Subscribed just because you're probably one of the only other fisherman I know besides myself that does trash cleanup
It's a shame, every fisherman should leave their spot better than they found it. Thanks for the sub!
@@GavinGalka yessir, and def continue being respectful to nature. Looks great on us kings 😎👑
great video, enjoyed watching.
Thanks, that's great to hear.
That's my kinda spot! Multi species is always a good day. My best is 7 Species in 1 outing thus far. Keep up the good Vids, new Sub from Indiana!
Right on, it's hard to beat the multi species action. I think I'm right there with you at 7 species in one outing. Thanks and welcome to the channel!
Dude, great video. I come into work, make coffee and throw on some fishing vids to get the brain warmed up. Keep kicking these out, great content and interesting video. Just subbed.
Thanks man, sounds like a chill way to start the day off!
“Bluegill doesn’t care what you think. Bluegill doesn’t give a crap!” HAHAHAH, I was laughing out loud my dude.
Nice video, I love going after panfish. There’s a lot of pumpkinseed and crappie in the spillway right down the street from my house. It’s a blast catching them.
hahaha, panfish are great and tons of fun, that's cool you have a nice local hole for em.
That’s cool to see someone fishing are local lakes.
Exploring the local spots around you is one of the best things to do! Thanks for the comment.
@ I’m from that area I go there here n there. Doesn’t produce much big fish anymore. Unfortunately. Goodluck with ur channel!
Haha, guess I didn’t realize how local you meant. You’re right about the lack of biggins, there’s a lot of pressure too. But the lighter gear makes up for it. Thanks again!
Beginning of the video on the right there was a fish swimming around and I already knew this was gunna be a banger
Yessir, thanks for watching!
Looks like the same kind of trash I'm always picking up. Always enjoy the way bluegills hammer the lure!
Oh man, hungry bluegill will hit those jigs surprisingly hard.
This was a great fishing sesh, definitely going to get me that exact setup and see if it works for me, well done on the clean up humans are animals
Thank you, that day was a blast! Go ahead and check the description for the setup details and how to contact my grandpa to ask about the rod. Seems a lot of people are interested in that combo so I just put it in there.
New sub great video!! I love ultralight panfishing!! When I don’t have much time I can run to the neighborhood pond with the ultra rod for an hour and have a great time
Thanks! Ultralight is so great for just about any spot, even with a small amount of time.
Solid music playlist btw
@@GavinGalka I'm in North Carolina so using ice fishing lures probably aren't even thought of down here but I am going to order some of these just to throw something different at some of the highly pressured ponds that I fish at, I will let you know how they work out.
Nice! Believe it or not when I was in North Carolina last summer I threw some ice lures in a mountain creek and I had some small trout hit them. They just didn't hold on long enough for a hookset. Anyways, definitely let me know how it works!
i catch bluegill like 2 times bigger than that in a neighborhood pond. love the video tho. happy you caught fish.
That's crazy, its always great when you can find the absolute jumbos! A few weeks back I caught a jet black 10" gill out of a spillway in south Florida. Thanks for the comment!
Love your videos alot
Glad you love em!
this is great gavin!
keep up the good work :-)
Thank you, will do 🫡
Thanks for cleaning man! Great video!
Thank you too, I thoroughly enjoyed making this video so I’m glad you and others liked it.
@@GavinGalka Are you in Upstate NY ?
I’m in southern Michigan.
@@GavinGalka Very similar fishing to here in NY.
@@getoutsidefishing From what I have seen it seems like it, but I would still love to get over there and fish sometime.
Awesome vid!
Thanks!
Epic fishing 🎣
Agreed, thank you!
amazing spot..full strike
You got that right!
Very nice
Thanks!
Beautiful Bluegill. Great fishing
most definitely!
New sub from me. Glad youtube suggested. Love ultralight fishing.
Welcome to the channel! Ultralight fishing is awesome!
just from the googan bait scared i just liked and sub lol
lol
“Look at the head on that thang” 😂😂😂
It sounded less questionable in my head 😂
Outstanding video, and not to mention cleaning up the area. I do have one question though; and that is - what type of rig (rod & reel) setup are you running, as it totally awesome! Keep the videos coming.
Thank you, I'm using a J.G. Custom Rods 4ft Dock Rod paired with the smallest Pflueger President model (I believe its the 20 size) and I run 2lb P-Line flouroclear.
*J.G. Custom Rods is my Grandpa's rod company that I help him with so if your ever looking for an ultralight rod like this lmk and I can get you his info.
@@GavinGalka UPDATE
I found the Facebook page, and found the website link but, sadly not functional. Perhaps you could respond to the first reply above, and we can come up with a game plan to move forward. I'm sure you'll have a fine solution Gavin.
TNX!
There are more companies under the name "J.G. custom Rods" than I thought lol. The best way to contact Jerry (my grandpa) to ask him about the rods is probably by email or phone. Hopefully this helps.

Amazing vid!
Thanks!
Nice video
Thanks!
A monster bluegill where I live is about 11 in. but still, awesome vid!
Thanks, it's way too hard to find bluegill over 9" around this place, lol.
New to your Channel, Nice Video, Please keep them coming !!!
Thanks, will do!
Nice
Chub fish? Weird and look like carp, caught a few in my local creek super fun to catch.
Yeah, probably a Creek Chub, they are related to carp. They are fun to catch, I usually target them in the winter when all the lakes and ponds by my house are frozen and I can only fish the creeks.
Just want to say thank you for cleaning up after others. To bad so many people choose to litter . Makes me wonder how they lice or what their house would look like. Lol Sad grown people have No consideration for the great outdoors
Have a great fishing season.
It is too bad, but it's great to see how many people see the problem and clean up after others. Thank you!
Need a spot like this for some flathead bait!
I bet, places like this are great for loading up on bait. I could trade you this river for your flathead fishery.
I’ve always caught my flathead bait where I’m fishing for them. It’s easy for me because the flathead areas are loaded with bluegill and green sunfish. It feels to me like I’m just stepping into the food chain. I also keep them alive and release what I don’t use at the end of the session.
Cool man! Getting fresh bait from the spot your fishing at is the best way to do it.
I’ve caught quite a few carp on twister tail grubs. One was 11 lbs😁
11 lbs is a monster! Always cool when they hit artificial.
not a mutation, i believe it's where someone had them on a stringer and then chose to release them.
It very well could have been, I didn't consider that, probably because harvesting fish here is very uncommon because the pollution is bad.
That's amazing. I've never caught a carp on a lure before
For sure, it's so cool when you can get them to eat artificial!
Love the video but it kinda looks like you are using a baitcasting rod for spin fishing but I could be wrong. Just wondering
I appreciate the the love! The rod I used was a spinning rod, but it’s custom, which might be why it looks a bit different than the average.
Just sub love this channel great job🎣💪
Thank you, welcome!
nice
Love the video! Clam maki? cant seem to find any that look like the one you are using. I need to find them!! Awesome results for a single lure!
Thanks, yes it was a white Clam maki and I put on an ice fishing jig, Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas should have them, hopefully you find em.
💥🎣🎬
Y'all need some gloves in your life! Thank you for doing your part. Sadly, to many people suck and the rest of us need to clean up after them.
It really is a shame, but I'm glad that there are people who see the problem and help clean up trash.
Also gloves are on the checklist for the next time I do a big clean up hahaha.
@@GavinGalka GOOD! We cant have you loosing fingers from toxic butt wipes or whatever these types leave lying about. Cheers!
Dope content dude😎
Thanks dude!
Loved the video! Just wondering, where did you get your forceps from?
Glad you did, thanks for the support! I don’t remember where I got them exactly but they are the Spring Creek Clamps made by Dr. Slick if you needed the name.
what kind of tool is that you are using to help remove the hook from the fish mouth? I need to find something like this but what is it called? What is the name of the lure you are using ? just wondering Thanks
They are called hemostats. The ones I use are "Dr. Slick Spring Creek Clamps" and are made for fishing. This specific pair has a very fine point which is great for grabbing and holding really small hooks.
Bluegill are the most fun fish to catch. Change my mind.
I don't know man, I just moved down to Florida for the year and these tarpon and snook are hard to beat.
...but then again, that may not be a fair comparison haha.
Does your grandpa only make rods for freshwater fishing? Can he make for saltwater? I'm very interested. From the Northern Mariana Islands
I've always wanted him to make an ultralight salt rod, but he only makes them for freshwater. In fact, the one I use in this video is just about the biggest rod he makes 'cause he mostly makes them for ice fishing.
That's a nice collard rod you used where did you get it and what type is it I would like to add that to my collection
My grandpa made that one, we call it the 4ft dock rod, I have his info in the video description if you're interested.
Its Mr fish himself
That’s Mr. Dr. Prof. Fish to you!
Where can I find that fish lure
Pretty sure you can get them at Bass Pro, Cabelas, and FishUSA.com. It's a Clam Maki if you didn't catch its name lol.
Sick! Love the rod and that clam maki, will have to check them out. What size ice jig you rocking with it?
The one I used was a random unpackaged ice jig from a tackle shop, but if I were to estimate size, its probably about a 3-4mm.
@@GavinGalka thank you my friend! Really appreciate it
I have the same reel that’s crazy
Great reel isn’t it, I’ve been using mine for 8 years!
@@GavinGalka dang that’s a long time
Yeah, kinda crazy, but goes to show the reel's quality, my grandpa's had his even longer and that one still works fine.
@@GavinGalka yea I’ve had my for about 2/3 years and only one little scratch
Name of the reel ???
What kind of rod are you using? Great vid btw
Thank you! I'm using a custom ultralight rod that my grandfather makes, his contact info is in the video description if you're interested.
Found u before ur popular, cuz that's a guarantee
Hey, welcome to the channel, and thanks for the foreshadowing!
hello from Kentucky. New sub dig your style. Glad your not a GooHead.
Thank ya, welcome to the channel!
Just subbed, gotta a link for those jigs???
Welcome to the channel! I don't have a link, but the jig heads I used were some cheap lead ice fishing jigs I got from a tackle shop and the soft plastic I used was a Clam Outdoors Maki. Hopefully that helps you find em.
A good video but where at
Thanks, this was shot in southern Michigan.
What state? What highway are you near?
This was Michigan, but I can’t say what highway is near me.
Buddy you gotta wear gloves when you pick up trash lol
Also does your grandpa sell those rods?
yeah, I'll probably wear gloves next time lol
And yes he sells the rods, his season for custom building them is usually the winter, but he sells anything that he's already built year round.
Did anyone else see the absolute chungus at the left sude offthe screen at the very beginning
Oh shoot your right, that was a huge carp! I didn't even realize that lol. I think someone else in the comments mentioned it, but I didn't make the connection till now.
Sir just sub to your channel I ran across it and hit the like and sub buttons as fast as I could. Sir what kind of rod and reel are you using? I really like that rod for sure. Sir I also want to tell you thanks and appreciate all that you do and go through making these awesome fishing videos for us all to enjoy and learn from. Well till the next's one GodBless and Tight Lines.

Hey, I put the information regarding my combo in the description, thanks for the support!
@@GavinGalka thanks bud
Suuuuupp
yo
My wife and I regularly pick up trash at fishing spots. It's sad to see the impacts of humanity.
That's really cool of you both! I'm glad to see that people are cleaning up trash despite the many that litter.
That's not humanity, that's trashy people.
Not a giant but THICKK
For real
New sub boss. Remember me when you become as big as firstStatefishing
I can try lol, thanks for the support and welcome to the channel!
I can’t believe people litter in beautiful nature spots. Mindblowingly shltty behavior
You got that right, especially when there's a garbage can nearby.
