Because they're so good. You love 'em, I love 'em, the fish love 'em.

@ thanks for letting us know about anise spray, smells much better than garlic!

LOL

You must not watch him that often or you’d know what he’s doing. Have a great day 😊

Yeah dude has some of the best highly edited fishing content in the game, but these long format videos are perfect for those that enjoy fishing.

@ Indeed. In addition there is a lot of small things I learn from watching too. I think learning why he’s doing what he’s doing is invaluable. Most educated fisherman I’ve encountered.

go watch his old videos if you want to see shorter videos

First time watching Devin, huh?

Your walleye baits will work fine. I hope you have a great trip and *thank you* for visiting Louisiana!

That's a great question, Dillard. I have no idea why you want to know that. Like, that has no impact on the viewing experience or what you can learn from me in this video. I can only assume you're asking that in an effort to geo-locate where I'm fishing. I hope not, because you'll never catch fish like I do doing that. I mean, I only teach everything I know inside LAFB Elite....ahhh but you don't want to hear that because I just checked my CRM (which you're in) and saw that you didn't want to join a few years back when I was running a special. Let me just answer your question: it really depends. Some trips, not so many miles. Other trips, a few more. I know that's not a very satisfactory answer. So what I plan on doing is grafting a GPS transmitter and Neuralink interface into my scalp, preferably the top of my head for best signal strength. This way viewers will 1.) always know where I am and 2.) always know what I'm thinking. Finally you guys will have every bit of every information regarding how it is I catch fish and won't have to ask for innocuous details in an effort to geo-locate fishing spots or decide which lure color to use (which doesn't matter...at all).

I live in Ga. Never have or will fish in Louisiana. Just a question, sorry that's the way my mind works. Love your efforts and enthusiasm.

I know why you are a great angler ,you ask why I wait to now how far you run, therefore you ask why are the fish here and not there.

watch his last video. caught a ton of trout in the river

@ thanks

Thank you. I am aware.

@ ok 👍🏻 love the videos too , sincerely

The only constant in Louisiana is change.

lol!

Thank you thank you. Yeah, the river is under 5ft now, hopefully she stays there. It could be an epic spring and summer despite the freeze.

So nice of you! Thank you!

I have heard of several fish kills ranging from Pointe aux Chene to Grand Isle.

I've written a detailed blog post about the blizzard fish kill here: www.lafishblog.com/snow-fish-kill/

The code does not work. It says expired sep 14, 2024

@@jpham3491 Just fixed it. Thank you for saying something!!

@@LAFishBlog you’re welcome! Thanks for continuing to provide us valuable tips!

Well, thank you, I appreciate that. Unfortunately, this video is bombing in analytics. I don't know why KZbin isn't showing it to more folks when it absolutely served up others like it. It is what it is, and I am not inclined to run on the algorithm's hamster wheel if it doesn't give back. Thank you for watching!

The answer is, "it depends". Usually something medium to MH, mod fast to fast, ~7ft. To fully flesh that out, I wrote this guide to selecting the right rod for your needs: www.lafishblog.com/choosing-best-rod-speckled-trout-redfish/

@@LAFishBlog thx. No I was asking for that rod/reel combo you were using in that specific lake decade video. I really liked the action w/ popping cork. and what blue (braid?) line are u using on that rod? thank you for the info + your videos.

I do not have that. Man, between *free* making content for this channel, @captaindevin, my newsletter and LAFishBlog, then content for LAFB Elite, the Community and writing a book, my plate is kinda full. lol Thank you for understanding. With that said, there's already TONS of content here on KZbin about that specific thing you're asking for. I would start using word searches and find what works best for you. Thank you.

You can go straight across. There isn't any particular path that's guaranteed to be devoid of crab traps. Since you asked, here's that article: www.lafishblog.com/routes-across-stump-lagoon/ In the future, I strongly recommend using the search function on my site. Not just to you but anybody reading this. There's a wealth of information I've been compiling there before KZbin and smartphones became popular. I can only lead horses to the water, it's up to them to drink. The best horses are those who can go to the water and drink without being led. That's why I made my site. Thank you for watching.

The process I use to plan fishing trips is what's detailed inside my course Inshore Fishing 101. Like, what you described is exactly what that course is. Love it or leave it. Thank you for watching.

I do what I do to teach folks the process to catching fish, what's worked for me for years. The hope is that they're led down the same path to conservation as I was. Folks looking to geolocate fishing spots are never going to catch the amount of fish I do. Talent > Potlicking

Thank you so much

Yes. Consider this reality: when you're a guide you don't own a business, *you own a job.* Maybe consider something that doesn't rely on nature behaving and has benefits, or something that's more passive. There's a lot of good books out. Read Michael Gerber. Or don't and learn it all the hard way.

Actually a small rattle. Forgot.😂

I sure do get this question a lot. Here's an answer I detailed for people to enjoy: www.lafishblog.com/why-the-heck-did-i-buy-a-bass-boat/

Maybe that's what other guys do, but I use a process that's a little more exacting. Yes, at the end of the day you do have to cast a line to know for sure, but I promise you that I fish a lot less unproductive water to find 'em and, *above all*, don't rely on others to tell me where to go. Translated: I can fish without a smartphone. Consider that.

You get it! Yeah, that and I have no idea who that guy is, he could really ruin audio if he wasn't considerate. Thank you for watching!

That's a great compliment. Appreciate you watching.
