i literally just started watching today and watched an earlier video when you mentioned using this pan... i was so excited for this video to come out when, low and behold... what perfect timing! just subbed
I recently discovered your channel and I think it is amazing. You're a cool person and I feel like I'm learning to fish from you. Thank you for the content. Keep your head up. Your content is great. Thank you.
Thankful you’re staying healthy my boy, keep up the great work and stay grinding. Sometimes a bad day just needs a lil firststatefishing to turn it around and I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say we’re super thankful for you.
Yes poppers! I suggested that last video :) I’ve been using a fly rod and small popper fly. Almost landed a nice largie last week but the sunfish have been going crazy for it. Lots of fun watching them hit the bait on top.
Loving the creek fishing vids. Recovering from the Suds right now. Did not lose my sense of smell or taste. My wife did lose those senses from Covid a year and a half ago and still hasn’t got them back fully yet
I got covid about 6 months ago and just a month ago I started tasting again. Now depending on my allergies, i sometimes stop tasting again. Smells been pretty weak, gotta force a deep breath to really smell something
Nice catch! Thats a male channel catfish. Here's a challenge for you. 10 dollar tree survival challenge. You can spend 10 dollars on items to build a waterproof shelter, build a campfire and cook 2 meals. Since its Delaware instead of 24 hours lets make it 12 hours. Let's go! Channel your inner Bear Grylls.
It's good to hear you are feeling much better. for the illness many pple at work had it and lost taste, some it only lasted a few months one over a year. "We are throwing this dude on inventory", Nice day of catching nice variety. How about heading to the salt water for some fishing.
Why don't you try Garrison's lake in Smyrna, DE I've caught several 7+ pounders there but I've been in Georgia for 15 years I sure would like to see it again. If you really want to do a catch and cook great catfish + rockfish at Smyrna jetty just south of the Ceder Swamp boat ramp.
Another fun video man. Reminded me of the Ginger Fisherman here in the UK wading in a small stream fishing. Will try find his video and send it to you to watch. How was the food ?lol
Snap Beans is highly underrated imo. It's caught me a fairly wide variety of fish, even those you wouldn't expect to take a lure. Like tilapia and grass carp.
That was a channel catfish and a good size to eat as well and good to eat. Whoa I wished I had one of them ultralight rods and reel combo from Lews my kiddos would probably take it from me but I wouldn't care. I'm so glad your doing these creek fishing videos. Maybe you should do like a 24 hour creek camp out like you do at the ocean that would be cool. I like to see all your videos I mean I want you to know how much I appreciate you going out in the heat and making these awesome fishing videos for us all to enjoy so thanks. Take care of yourself and stay safe out in that heat and till the next's one GodBless and Tight Lines.
I actually had the same adventure using my Lews with 4lb test. Had a gulp minnow and hooked a 10lb cat. Had to let him run just like you did. Only difference was I was on some rocks and I had a net. I climbed down the rocks holding the rod in one hand and the net in the other 😂. I made it happen tho lol
I use that little floating minnow all the time and is my favorite lure. I usually reel slowly just enough for it to have action and wiggle. Don't jerk it.
dude i have been binge watching all your videos and you inspired me to bug my family to go fishing more i live in Harrisburg, Pennyslvania maybe ill run into you fishing soon when you visity kelsey btw you should catch n' cook carp
Those rebel minnows are super cheap and work really well surprisingly. We’ve been destroying the striper on the sac river with bigger ones over here in Cali.
Hey man, you can change out the hooks on lures pretty easy. Get a pair of "snap ring pliers" they have a little special v thing on the tip that let you open up the little split ring thing that the hook is attached to the lure. I like to replace mine with inline single hooks, they are a pretty simple looking hook but the eye is turned and the eye is real wide, they are designed to replace trebles on lures because some places, particularly places that have salmon, don't allow treble hooks. VMC makes a great inmine single hook that is also saltwater rated.
Also I run #6 inline single hooks as replacements on those tiny little crankabits and squarebills, I have a few of the googan squad micro recons and micro bangers, and the smallies destroy those little crabkbaits even with single hooks on them.
@@FirstStateFishing hey I just want you to know I love how you heart and reply to almost everyone’s comment and it means a lot and gives me inspiration to create more content so I just wanted to say thanks
Dude... don't stop doing creeks.. actually, I'd like to see smaller DE creeks. I've caught some nice rockbass, etc., out of Naamans Creek in Claymont. Come check it out!!
Dude you gotta try panfish with fried plantains I thought it was gonna be nasty but it surprised me might do the same for you , we used bluegill but the guy said any pan fish would work
I caught a huge redbreast sunfish out of the river. I use trout bait for different presentation. I worked several lures well and nothing. The time of day was suset, and i thought a big smallie was trying to eat flies come to find out it was a redbreast sunfish was big probably over a lb probably pushing 2 lbs
I never leave the house without a bitsy minnow. I've caught a 3lb smallmouth and a 4lb largemouth on the blue top shad color (can't remember the exact name, sexy shad with a blue top basically). Creek chubs and sunfish love it as well.
I got one of those pans one year from my son at Christmas. He was around ten and he really wanted me to know that he bought it with his own money. It also came with some brownie mix and a small Toblerone chocolate bar. You were to mix everything together and make a brownie with…..yep you guessed it, Toblerone. It was really good and we still use them around Christmas. Unbeknownst either of my boys, my wife bought three more of them. This way we all had one and we could do it together. That was ten years ago and we still do it. I still see them every Christmas for around $5. That’s with the mix. The older boy was so pissed at the youngest for not telling him. Apparently he felt it made him look bad. He said he would have put his name on it too, without of course giving him any money either. Which was why the youngest didn’t tell him. 😏. The youngest still gets me a thoughtful gift every year and the oldest often puts his name on one my wife buys me. Their starving students, so I keep telling them not to get me anything. The oldest is a great kid too, don’t want you to get the wrong impression, he does good things too, just in different ways.
What should we catch n' cook next?? 🤔Really appreciate yall for watching!
Flounder or a weird ocean fish I don’t live anywhere close to an ocean so I think it would be cool
The same thing but 24 hours it would be so funny
Did you see my comment on your last video,also I would like to see some saltwater catch and cook also love all you videos,BIGGEST fan keep it up
If you're out ocean fishing definitely would like to see some flounder or rock bass if it's freshwater definitely wanna see some catfish or crappie
Catch n Cook eel pls
Just caught my first smallmouth out of my creek thanks for inspiring me to creek fish and I love the mic intro!
Lets go! Creek smallies are so much fun
Heck yeah man!
@@FirstStateFishing my brothers and i went fishing in a small pond and my brother caught 9 palm-sized bluegill
Yea I caught my first because of the same reason
I'm hopin' that some day firstate could go out on a boat and do some deep sea fishing. I would love to see a video like that.
Props on the G.R. Hot Ones call out!
I'd like to see some toggin at Indian River. Keep making videos man, shout out from Wilmington!

As a Gordon Ramsey I’m shaking in my boots
I love the spot you fished last video! Great
Intro!
also fish at paper mill park! so many bluegills and bass
Always fun hooking into a catfish when creek fishing! That was a channel cat, for sure. Blue cats have pointier fins. 👍🏼
Bro, I live in Ruskin if you ever want to fish. EG Simmons is a good place when you're in a kayak.
@Firststatefishing you can use slime line. It's super abrasion resistant
It's good to hear you are feeling much better. for the illness many pple at work had it and lost taste, some it only lasted a few months one over a year. "We are throwing this dude on inventory", Nice day of catching nice variety. How about heading to the salt water for some fishing.

I caught my pb smallie today
Excellent work and patience landing that nice catfish on light tackle. Should do a catch and cook on one of those.
Yo I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and I am dying for some crab catch n’ cooks and definitely a little bit more lake fishing too!!
Dude, these creek fishing videos are awesome. Wish there were creeks in my area to fish. A couple ponds the river and a big lake
Another fun video man. Reminded me of the Ginger Fisherman here in the UK wading in a small stream fishing. Will try find his video and send it to you to watch. How was the food ?lol

Good to see you back at it brotha.
I like the call out hahaha
Northern pike fishing!!!
Bro you are an absolute legend, so inspiring
The catfish catch was brilliant. You effing kill me.
Rock Bass are for sure my favorite creek fish.
I use the topwater popers, and I catch Alligator guards and bass on them.
That was a channel catfish and a good size to eat as well and good to eat.

Catfish was definitely a channel cat super awesome video like always keep it up man
I'm pretty sure it's a channel catfish don't take my word but I catch alot of channel catfish and that's what it looks like
Another Banger 🔥🔥🔥
The technique part had me cracking up 🤣🤣🤣
We Met at I cast this year. I love your video’s man thank you for the consistent content brotha.
I always take the front hook off of those micro crank baits it's so small it doesn't matter then you don't have the same fish hooked several times
Glad you’re feeling better! Love to see you fish the salt maybe even grab something with legs on it. Cheers man
Crab’s?
I like to use that cranbait because it works pretty good and bass love it
so glad your feeling better
Could you show us how you tie your lures on the line please? I use a uni knot, but would love to see your knot. Thank you.
I actually had the same adventure using my Lews with 4lb test. Had a gulp minnow and hooked a 10lb cat. Had to let him run just like you did. Only difference was I was on some rocks and I had a net.

What’s lews????
You should take the fly rod out to one of those creeks and try and get some bass and panfish.
Good luck man love the video love to see the catch and cooks especially saltwater now I’m at the beach so much and can go out and fish
Beautiful fish
I use that little floating minnow all the time and is my favorite lure. I usually reel slowly just enough for it to have action and wiggle. Don't jerk it.
Thank you
Try my luck again - what creek location is this around Delaware, plz?
dude i have been binge watching all your videos and you inspired me to bug my family to go fishing more i live in Harrisburg, Pennyslvania maybe ill run into you fishing soon when you visity kelsey btw you should catch n' cook carp
Try coming to southern Oregon lake of the woods is a good place to fish
Let's go bro! Lmk if you need beats for your videos! long time fan🌊🌊🌊
Glad you're feelin better dude.
Nice fishing. If I’m nit mistaken that’s a channel catfish.

You need to do some catfishing in rivers
LMFAO I did NOT expect the pan to be the focus. Fucking legend 😂😂😂
I’m ur biggest fan
Make a flounder fishing or brook trout fishing video
Flounder soon. Going for that keeper
@@FirstStateFishing Flounder catch and cook
@@FirstStateFishing you should try bottom fishing for them as opposed to from shore! Drifting on the bottom is the best in my experience.
Nice catch
looks fun G my fav type of fishing
I love the catch and cook vids
What should I catch n cook next 🤔

Dude you gotta try panfish with fried plantains I thought it was gonna be nasty but it surprised me might do the same for you , we used bluegill but the guy said any pan fish would work
I’m going on a mountain creek/river fishing trip, any tips?
New species added to the Pokédex!

Good Fishing brother... Salam Strike dari Indonesia...
When did you use the Pan????
I've always wanted to meet you at Cabelas, but this time, I was a day late.
😭
I never leave the house without a bitsy minnow. I've caught a 3lb smallmouth and a 4lb largemouth on the blue top shad color (can't remember the exact name, sexy shad with a blue top basically). Creek chubs and sunfish love it as well.
Hey first state and I’m going to be fishing on the cape hen lopen pier any tips
What reel were you using?
Channel cat forsure
Love ya video but you need help with the cooking part ASAP.!! Lmk when ya back in fl I’ll help ya cook a real clean and cook
Got the Vid in Fla? Probably not the worst thing that you could get there.
Please review the knew curado dc it would mean allot to me
Bro i love watching your videos! Was wondering what kind of rod and reel do you use? I like it and wanted to buy one.
Channel cat. Would be pretty unusual to catch a blue in a little creek like that. They like bigger water.
That was with a channel cat or blue , I couldn't see the bottom fin so I couldn't really tell
Creek poppers and top water
That’s a Channel cat and you should try and catch and cook common carp.
He has caught carp before! Idk if he cooked. I think it was just catch
First State video as soon as I got home???
Let's gooooooooooooooo 🤘
ayyyy
@@FirstStateFishing glad you're feeling better brother 🤘
Lets goo love your videos man
Thanks for watching!
