    PHILIPPIANS 2: 6-8
    Though he was God, he did not think of
    equality with God as something to cling to.
    Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he
    took the humble position of a slave and was
    born as a human being. When he appeared in
    human form, he humbled himself in obedience
    to God and died a criminal's death on a cross.
    LUKE 19: 10
    For the Son of Man came to seek and save
    those who are lost.

      That is the way when you are sauger fishing. Below damns are community fishing spots. Many have an etiquette where you pull rigs up stream and drift down. If you want to be alone. Go down river and find your own fish

    I would love to fish for sauger one day, and I’d really love to get some in a frying pan. I live in Northeast Ohio, and here we have saugeye. Saugeyes are hybrids that come from crossing a female walleye with a male sauger. Walleye have no distinct spots on their spiny dorsal fins while saugers do, and saugeye have both bars and spots in the webbing of their spiny dorsal fin. The saugeye is excellent table fair and is my 2nd favorite fish to eat only behind freshwater perch. This is making me hangry Richard! Lol😂 God bless you and momma sue, and give the pups big kisses and hugs from all your Ohio fans!!

    Find a bait shop in Sauk, Wisconsin and check to find out when the walleye and sauger bite starts. The same way you are catching them on the Tennessee River will get you bit on the Wisconsin River below the dam at Sauk. State record came out of this location and weighed 6.56 lbs. , seems like it was 26.5” long
    Might make a good video and give you a new pb sauger.❤

    Richard I don’t know if you’ll see this comment or not but check this out. I was fishing with some friends and a few other people around the boat Harbor below Wilson dam for Croppie. No one was catching anything not even the guys fishing with live minnows I swapped to a pink bobby garland and got 11.

    • @joegrande4848
      @joegrande4848 Рік тому +1

      I never use live scope either. I cover lots of water and use simplicity and catch a ton of fish. I use a 6 or 12 inch leader with either 1/10 oz egg weight or split shot. I'll tie leader with size 1, 2 or 4 baitholder sometimes a 16 baitholder if I'm going for bait fish. Of course if there's corrent I'll use a split shot or egg weight. If there's minimal or no corrent I'll fish it weightless. Then I'll use 6 or 12 inch leader I'll put a slip bobber on then tie leader to main line. Most times I use 12 inch leader. Then I'll tie a dropshot. Next I use 1/8 1/16 or 1/32 crappie jigs with a white grub. I put procure trophy bass on the few lures or soft plastics I use. Then I'll use a ewg super line offset hook with 1/32 1/16 or 3/8oz bullet weight. Soft plastics I use 3 inch hellgramites, zero z too smoky blue fluke 5 inch finesse worms or white grub 2". Lures I use a jerkbait a kvd splash a Berkeley choppo or a wake bait either a rat or fish. This is all I use and catch tons of fish. On a slow day at least 6 to 8 fish 😊😊❤ oh a new lure I'll try I saw Richard use a 1/16 bitsy jig 😊

    Have you ever thought about installing some foam pool noodles on the edge of your boat? Just get the size you want and cut them long ways, and you can glue them on, or just slip them on when you're bumping up against the wall, might help protect your boat.

I was just wondering what your thoughts are on their use. You are a pro on finding and catching crappie. Always enjoy your attitude and comic videos, and absolutely a grand personality . Thanks, one of your grateful followers, Don B.

    I wish you made a fishing kit or a video with $100-$200 tackle box setup that you would start with today if you didn’t have anything. You have shown so many bait combos that I’m very confused on what to buy other than buying one of everything. Even the amount of different bobbers you use. I’d like to start over with one good kit with the best stuff.
