You come up with the best ideas for videos. 12 fish from 12 ponds...heck yeh that's tough especially this time of year. Not sure I could get a total of 3 or 4 fish total if I hit 12 ponds. And many of your fish were really nice. I catch tons of white perch, definitely want to try the flyrod this summer for them. I don't understand how your channel doesn't have 2,000 subs. I've only been in your area once in my life, but if I ever get down there again, I'm gonna let you know. I'd love to do a colab fishing video with ya ( like I did with Fishing With Ish).
