@@ca9448 I’m not sure about the news station. It’s north of Topeka 7 or 8 miles.

@ that’s the one

@@fishingwithvin they were all very healthy, but none of them had any size unfortunately. I haven’t ever seen that lake that clear and with it being as shallow as it is, very possible that the bigger fish were offshore where I wasn’t fishing.

@@bryanashworth2557 Pomme De Terre, Henry Sever, Hazel Creek, and Fellow’s Lake all have muskie in them.

@@brysongrove5950 cut white bass or crappie, can’t remember which but both make great bait.

@@seancasey7672 yes I do

@@randomlikes thanks man! It was a grind all weekend for sure.

@@michaelprice8222 there was a lot more than that caught from the ramp by other people also.

@@xOrganik yeah, you did great too man. I really thought you had it the way you’d been catching them.

@@AddictedAngler I was glad to have some wind, but it was a little much that day.

Made me happy I know that. I really thought I just watched a fish steal one of my favorite swimbaits 😂

@@stanmartin165 I’ve been chasing them more the last couple years. Finally found a good area that isn’t a community hole on a lake and holds lots of big fish.

@@adrianriley8609 nope, they’re one of my favorites to catch for sure. That one was an Okuma Citrix 364.

@@2IzzyReelzFishing I have tried the Big Game but don’t like the stretch in the river. I make a lot of long cast so the low stretch and thinner line helps. Most of the obstacles I deal with are wood, which isn’t very hard on braid. The issue with braid is hard objects like rock or metal, but those things cut mono fast also with a big fish on the other side. I do use 50lb big game for my leaders though.

@@seancasey7672 they were so shallow and biting so light, he got the bad end of it. I use a 7’ 3” MH/F Kistler Helium as my primary pitching rod for shallow cover.

@@bluebasser8633 I gotcha, with grass I assume you use a heavy?

@@seancasey7672 yes, I have a 7’ 6” and 7’ 11”, both H/F rods that I use for grass.

@@AddictedAngler yeah, but are they big enough is the question you always have to wonder in prefishing.

@@michaelprice8222 I’ve thrown it every time I’ve been there this year with, 2 dinks to show for it 🤷🏼‍♂️ lot of people throwing them there now.

This was the state lake, not the reservoir. I did a lap around the lake.

I did in the description.

@@bluebasser8633thank you, I missed that!

@@mhkangler external, my camera is hooked to my TM battery directly.

@@2IzzyReelzFishing there’s quite a few in the rivers here but they’re just small shovelnose sturgeon like this one with the occasional endangered pallid sturgeon.

@@2IzzyReelzFishing if I liked to eat them I’d probably just keep them because I always feel like they’re going to die even if they swim off initially when the water is hot.

@@mhkangler he’s pretty good at it when he focuses on it and puts his mind to it.

@@ekBassin I think it’s pretty awesome he goes with me also.

@@ivanlopez2612 you’re right, we’re always hoping for a lot bigger than this one!

@@wheatstatedude8343 I wouldn’t get your hopes up there 😂

@@xOrganik glad you were able to get a good one.

@@mhkangler it’s a lot of work getting there, but usually it’s worth it.

@@dougwright3867 it was indeed and yes he was.

@@kenmonroe2474 it is and I will post the name after the tournament. It’s a roadrunner format so we can fish a selection of lakes in Kansas from a list and this was one of them.

@@bluebasser8633 ah cool! Look forward to it! Hope you do well in the tournament!

@@kenmonroe2474 thanks, I’m afraid it’s going to be a difficult one.

@@bluebasser8633 my money is always on you!

@@jonbond1183 she knew what she was doing.

@@dougwright3867 wasn’t sure how big it was until I finally got hands on it.

@@seancasey7672 if you’re not using a straight shank flipping hook, that makes a big difference also. There’s quite a few sunfish in those willows and they’re hard to tell the difference between a them and a bass in the thick stuff.

@@bluebasser8633 I am using a straight shank. Trokar or gamy. I was not using a snell knot though. I will be using a snell tomorrow

@@mhkangler yes my wife got me a 12 for my birthday. I have the media cover on it also to block wind noise and get better audio also.

@@bluebasser8633 major improvement man, really enjoyed this one. Congrats on the great limit!

@@seancasey7672 Those are water willows and I never go above 1/2oz weight. They have been all the way behind it on the bank a lot lately, sitting in inches of water. It’s not like flipping regular, matted grass because there’s rarely a canopy and the stalks go to the bottom. So if it’s thick enough that you need a 1oz weight to get through, there’s likely not enough space for a decent sized fish to be sitting in them.

I gotcha, thanks for the tips man, I need all the help I can get 😄👍

@@drewblaz740 haven’t been since last year.

@@ryanwarwick5128 when the motor is up there is zero interference with the pedals and head of the motor. My last fishing trip that I posted, I actually fished most of the day with the motor up because the lake was so shallow.

@@TheTrophyChannel yes 😅 also for boat control. It’s awesome in the wind and being able to spot lock is great. Not having to pedal forever on long runs doesn’t hurt either but it isn’t much faster than pedaling.
