      One thing about that 6 lb, one little abrasion or nick and you're losing that fish. Even 15 lb I used to fish with, if a smallie got down into the rocks, I was toast.

    that carp was a genuine surprise lol, i remember my mom taking me out fishing when i was like 12-13, she was bass fishing and i was just sitting in the back of the boat bobber fishing for bluegill/crappie/perch and all of a sudden the drag started screaming, it ended up being a 22lb common carp that i fought for over 40 minutes on an ultra light with 4lb line, i STILL have a picture of it on my nintendo DS a whole 10 years later, honestly one of my best memories

      I have a similar memory. I was 10 or so, fishing off the dock just looking for bluegill or whatever and a carp grabbed my kiddie fishing kit. Hook, worm, and bobber I think. Dragged that sucker to the dock and it gave one last thrash right as Dad was getting the net in the water. Snapped the line, took the hook with him. I was bummed about it for a week, I wanted that fish lol.

    Your videos sometimes bring back old memories! A little over 50 years ago my wife and I used to go to her folks' house for Sunday dinner, and after dinner I'd wade-fish the Tioughnioga River (upstate NY) behind their house for smallies and panfish. I was fishing a Panther Martin spinner on an ultralight with 4 lb test mono, and was catching lots of rock bass, smallies, and shiners, when on one cast retrieve stopped like I'd snagged on a big rock. Not a rock, but a 15 lb carp that had inhaled that spinner! I used to run with the drag set really light, and that fish just ran me back and forth in the short stretch of water he had to swim in, until he got tired and I managed to kick him out of the water onto a gravel bar in mid-stream. He had the spinner way back in his throat, but I managed to get it back, then kicked him back into the water. FIrst time I ever caught a carp on an artificial lure.
    I'm 81 now, and she and I still like to go fishing - I'm going to be fishing on the St Lawrence for a few days this week, land using a bunch of the things you've shown us on these videos! Thanks for putting out a quality production! We really appreciate it!

      That's why it helps to have consistent spots where you don't have to move a lot to catch fish, bridges and points and coves can be really good places for that depending on time of year. I always carry like 3 tackle boxes with me and bring worms sometimes but still need to fill up the fourth box in my tackle bag.

    • @BlkHunterGatherer
      @BlkHunterGatherer Місяць тому +2

      There is an old saying that 80% of the fish is in 20% of the water.
      That’s what they say and it’s been true for me on the water. I’ll add to that by saying you can measure yourself as an angler by how consistently you find the 20% of the water with 80% of fish and how well you fish the 80% of the water that only has 20% of the fish. That whole thing about “they weren’t biting that day” stops making sense when you look at it like that. Sure, you weren’t catching fish but if you had a pro angler in your boat at the same time fishing the same water as you, do you think they’ll get skunked? Will Bill Dance in his prime get skunked?

    Sometimes, it is good to hook a fish, that will test your line. Sharpens your fish fighting abilities. Those are some nice size Carp. The funny part is, if you were fishing for Carp, you would catch, nothing but Crappie or other fish. lol! They say, that the wind pushes bait-fish up against the shore, hence you catching fish, along the shore, the wind is blowing towards. The knot on that package, is the same knot I use for all my tying. Very strong. Just make sure to wet the knot before you pull it tight. Reduces heat friction on the line, as you pull it tight.

    I just know all the professional carp fishers will be so damn pissed after watching a carp eat a cheap plastic while they spend hours trying to catch one with all their fancy equipment and still not landing a single one.

    That 6lb test can be deceptively strong occasionally. My dad landed a pretty big snapping turtle with it once. The line was all warped and stretched out by the end of it, but he managed to get it in. The size of that carp reminded me of that, lol.

      Went kayaking for the first time with my friend on a couple sitting inside kayaks at rodman reservoir and had a gator go within about 5 ft of me if I remember I think he went underneath me and on the way home and other one was cruising between me and my friend we just try to share the same water no problem

    I fished a lake adjacent to a Provincial Park in southern Ontario for a week each year for over 20 years. I was snorkeling one afternoon when I noticed dozens of Crappie about 15' down in the weeds right off our cabin. So I took a 4' trout rod out there with me and proceeded to catch about 10 of them before I got tired. I used little jig heads and 1" - 2" plastic minnows and grubs. Some days they wouldn't bite for anything. Other times they were jumping on the bait instantly. Some of them were huge too... like dinner plates! Once I mistakenly hooked a 25" pike... it darn near spooled my reel but I eventually got control of it and after swimming in to the beach I actually landed it; on 6lb Stren Magnathin line. I enjoy your channel very much; I watch everything you post!

    Had a huge slab on once it was fighting hard but I had my drag set too high. It came off and I reeled in my jig with the "lips" still on the hook. Guess that's where they get the name papermouth.

    I took my son and his girlfriend fishing a couple of weeks ago. And the very first thing she caught was a snapping turtle a tad big bigger than the one in your video! We couldn't believe it! We didn't get it on the bank before the line broke, but we definitely saw it. Thing was huge! Caught it on a hot dog! Of course not what we were fishing for! But for her first catch it didn't matter, and she had fun!

    My go-to tactic for early spring crappie while bank fishing ponds and smaller lakes here in CT is flipping a weightless Mr. Crappie Lightning Shad around as I do little twitches just beneath the surface and reel very slowly. Often times I end up seeing the flash of a crappie coming up and swiping at it or grabbing it.

    My favorite you tube fishing channel ....I'm not a fan of using the plastic bobbers either but I find if you only attach your line to the bottom of the bobber ...it will sit upright in the water better and will not take on water as fast ......tight lines

    • @triela420
      @triela420 Рік тому

      Most fun I have with bass is finding them schooling for shad, then using a zoom fluke in light colors with no weight. hop it on the surface and they'll smash it. Literally just sight fishing. Look for the shad running away from bass, then cast at them.
