Yes sir! The BEST panfishing channel on UA-cam! I have never used a floating crank bait! Yes, the bike is back and the bite is on fire! That creek was beautiful and calm, perfect made for fishing! Those Rock Bass are always fun to hook into! Another great fishing video Chris! Thanks for sharing!
The sound of the Drag is so motivating. The fish have such amazing colors this time of year. Colors at 7:30 were stunning. That’s a special creek for sure. Thanks for sharing. Rock Bass are one of my favorites 💥🥇
that looked like a lot of fun Chris. Nothing better than just fishing from the bank and catching them one after another with no boat and gear to deal with.
Huge fan of tiny cranks!! You catch some of the most beautiful gills I've seen in awhile and them rock bass are a blast as well!! Tight lines my friend and thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for the frugal tip on these crank baits! Wally World put those Arkie cranks on clearance this year and I loaded up based on your videos and personal experience using them. 👍👍👍
That’s awesome! The Arkie 220 is a solid lure for the price. I enjoy using them to catch crappie, rock bass, and smallmouth sometimes. These smaller 1.5” crankbaits are great for the smaller panfish like bluegill. Thank you for watching and for your continued support.
Great video. Enjoy watching you catching those fish. That crankbait must be available in Tennessee Walmarts. Not available here in North Carolina Walmarts. That’s a shame would love to try them, awesome price.
I need to check those out. I have been fishing the Trout Magnet suspending cranks a bit lately and look forward to trying those for panfish. They are really fun and seem to work great for trout in the river.
Awesome video brother, I really love how you can showcase the beautiful colors on them fish. Always a ton of work and quality put into your videos from start to finish and I’m always excited for the next one! I really need to get me a couple of the lures I like the size and them hooks looked really sharp. At less than $2 each you can’t beat that.
Thank you so much! You should try those little crankbaits out sometime. I’d love to see what all you would catch with them. My go to for panfish is the Trout Magnet, but these cranks are nice for days when it’s too windy to fish a lighter lure. It’s a great addition to the tackle box, in my opinion. Appreciate your continued support!
Howdy do Chris, I have been going back through some of your previous videos and wondering if you have done any fishing with the little bean crankbaits ? Don't know what drew me to buy some of them but have a couple dozen of them now. Still have not tried them yet.🤔
Thanks so much for checking the content out, Ron! I have not tried the little Yozuri Snap Beans or the Crème mini crankbaits yet. They look fun and I’m betting they work just fine.
I just purchased some of these same style cranks and was wondering how they would do in a small river which is what I got them for. Can't wait to try them now!
They work great! Only downside to the smaller size is that they aren’t heavy enough for moderate current. But for slack water sections, they are really fun. Thank you for watching! Good luck!
That shiner color looks sweet looking! Man I love it brother!! Taking the bike to the creek just like the old days!!! Absolutely beautiful for fish, those colors were amazing! 5:24 as well. Nice big ol rockbass too. That lm bass wasn’t missing any meals 😉 So many beautiful fish in this one. Great video Chris! I really enjoyed this so much brother 👊
@gregchilders7643 I’m excited to try those out very soon. I will see if I can find the Tennessee Shad color. I like that one in the larger Arkie 220 cranks.
Ha! We’re lucky that we don’t have any river monsters here in this creek. The Trout SOS is crazy tough line for such a small diameter. I really love the casting distance and sensitivity of the thinner lines. Thank you for watching!
Hi Chris. Just wondering how things are going with your Bass Pro Pond Prowler 8, and specifically how she has held up with the trolling motor on the bow and the Honda outboard on the stern. I am getting a Bass Pro Pond Prowler 10 and plan on starting with the basic modifications which include these 2 items. Thank you.
Doing very well! I have fished out of it a bunch of times over the past year and a half. It’s a fun little boat to fish out of. Thank you for watching and good luck!
Yes, sometimes. Other times I just start reeling after it hits the water. Both seem to work. Waiting can sometimes trigger strikes before you even reel. Another thing that can work well is pausing every few seconds on the reel back to let it hover for just a moment.
Crank baits never work for me. The hooks either get tangled in the line or get tangled by the other hook. I’ve seen people swear these work but I’ve had no luck no matter direct line or Snap swivel
That can definitely be frustrating! They will do that, somewhat often, but they sure catch fish if you can deal with fixing the hooks and tangles from time to time. Another possible solution that I have seen others do, is swap out one or both of the treble hooks with smaller trebles or single hooks. That can eliminate a lot of the tangles. Thank you for watching!
Hey pistol I can't seem to find those BnM cranks anywhere online. Is there anyway you and I can work out something to where you can grab some and send them to me. I'll send you the money
Absolutely! I did that for another guy a few weeks ago. My Walmart sells them. Email me your mailing info and I’ll send you some. Forget the money. I’ve got you.👊🐟 My email address is in the info page on my channel. If you can’t find it let me know and I will post it here.

You’re too kind. Thanks so much for watching, Jim! This is a great time of year to be out there fishing.

Rockies are a blast! Thanks so much for watching, Ron!
that looked like a lot of fun Chris. Nothing better than just fishing from the bank and catching them one after another with no boat and gear to deal with.
Yessir, AJ! When it work out like that, sure is fun and convenient. Thanks for the continued support, my friend.
That creek is loaded!!! Great video!
Thanks, Mike! It was a fun day.
Huge fan of tiny cranks!! You catch some of the most beautiful gills I've seen in awhile and them rock bass are a blast as well!! Tight lines my friend and thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much! Always a good time when one of those rock bass takes hold of your bait.
Love the sound of that Drag!
Me, too! Thank you for watching!
I love Your channel, and information. 💯
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching.
You were on them! Great video!
It was a fun day! Thank you for watching.

I want one of those pressos so bad but everyone is out of stock in everything but the 4’ and the 8’ and longer. I want a 6’ or 6’6” lol
Some pretty cool looking pan fish! Even the bass wanted in the show!!😅 Awesome fishing trip brother! Have a blessed day!🙏🎣👍🏼💯
Thank you so much, Domingo! I really appreciate you.
@@pistolcreek your welcome 🙏 💯🎣
That was fun watching those fish fight in the little creek. Nice video man 👍
Thanks so much!
Those rock bass are little badasses! I haven't gotten out the crank baits yet but I have some of those little Yozuri snap beans ready to go soon
Never tried the Yozuri before. Need to give those a look.
Beautiful fish! Keep up the great work
Thanks so much!
Great video. Enjoy watching you catching those fish. That crankbait must be available in Tennessee Walmarts. Not available here in North Carolina Walmarts. That’s a shame would love to try them, awesome price.
They are great. If you would like, send me your mailing address at chris@pistolcreekpanfishing.com and I will send you a couple to try.
wow amazing fishing
Thank you so much!
I really like the smallest X Rap suspending jerkbaits for panfish, especially crappie...1 1/4-2" long i think...pricey, but are great baits
I need to check those out. I have been fishing the Trout Magnet suspending cranks a bit lately and look forward to trying those for panfish. They are really fun and seem to work great for trout in the river.
Great video! Enjoy watching.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the video. That’s my favorite form of fishing
Thank you for watching! Hard to beat ultralight panfishing.
Great video!
Thank you!

Just subbed. Love the little panfish! Light gear, light line, nothing like it!
Thank you so much, Mike! Those panfish are a ton of fun.
Can’t beat biking down to the creek for some fishing!
Yessir! Thanks so much for watching, Will.
Nice catches Chris! Some real beauties!
Good price on the BNM crank baits.
Great rod and reel combo for panfishing.
Sure makes it more fun!
Crankbaits for under $2… hard to beat. Thanks for watching, Stacee!

No problem!!

Thanks so much, Chris! The colors on the fish are so nice this time of year once the water starts to warm up.
First. Hey Chris I like the strike king bitsy minnow alot.
I just bought some of those recently! Excited to try them out. Any particular colors you recommend trying first?
@@pistolcreekI like the bitsy pond minnow also .My top 3 are Tennessee shad, crawfish and blue and chartuse
@gregchilders7643 I’m excited to try those out very soon. I will see if I can find the Tennessee Shad color. I like that one in the larger Arkie 220 cranks.
You're a braver man than me. I wouldn't dream of fishing a crankbait on 2# test line! Too many toothy fish where I fish!
Ha! We’re lucky that we don’t have any river monsters here in this creek. The Trout SOS is crazy tough line for such a small diameter. I really love the casting distance and sensitivity of the thinner lines. Thank you for watching!
2lb test is way stronger than most would think. I've boat flipped 11inch crappie on 2lb test crazy I know but got it done 🤷🏾

@panfishin-fool8057 Yessir! Just send me your info and I’ll get some in the mail to you this week.
@pistolcreek email sent brother thanks again. Can't lie I'm kinda amped up about these things😁
