The biggest fish produce the most eggs to keep the population healthy and large. Keep the good eaters, don't keep more than you should.

In Europe we have nothing like this .

I heard he got locked up for catching Toooo many "PIKE"!!!LOL,LOL,LOL 😊GREAT INFORMATION

I can imagine fish doing exact scetches where the fisherman gonna be and how to avoid them 😂

Carp first then pike ,river carp are a fight

Imagine a lake that is 926 ft deep with no shallows and very small. A natural spring lake full of big pike that no body ever catches. What would you do in this situation? How deep do you think they go and how should you fish for them? I have this problem here in Michigan. Tiny lake super deep, no shallows. Only a fishing dock to fish from.

I PUT LINE IN VICE, and CRUSH EVERY 12 " UNTIL I DO ALL 200' ! AFTER THIS PROCEDURE, NO ISSUES

USELESS, DID THIS ! NO DIFFERENCE

No nonsense and straight to the point, unlike most videos. Thank you!

These are incredible seminars. Where is this guy now? Did he die? I can't find him on social media anywhere but I want to thank him for all this knowledge

Between #3 and this one, something is missing

Very nice walleyes

Thank you so much for uploading this series and for your expertise. What a treasure these videos are.

I use these in Florida for crappie and Cave Run Lake for Muskies! I did change the release to standard line clip!

Does anyone know how to actually draw a percentage triangle?

Duuuudee! Where have you been with this the last 9yrs ,, man

This guy knows fish like nobody I've ever seen before. I've learned so much from these videos. Thank you Seth.

I've been doing tree hay for 2 years up here in canada. I've been thinning a strip of a mixed hardwood/softwood forest for silvo pasture (and just an overall healthier forest in general) taking some of the softwood for lumber and the hardwood for posts and firewood but put up leaves for tree hay, then in following years I come along and collect the treehay from the coppices/pollards. Our hay prices have dropped since last year. I'm seeing squares of alfalfa/grass and clover/grass hay for $5 (canadian) a bale and quality big round bales for $20-$30. They were double that last year. Despite hay prices being low I still put up tree hay for my dairy/meat goat herd simply for the nutrient diversity and nutritional benefit for the animals. That and our winters are very long up north. Not unusual to have snow for 6 months of the year up here.

Awesome video thank you

Thanks for the video, we are normally back trolling for Coho and usually use a Banana, dodger and cut plug herring, better understand it now, will have to try more methods when you still show fish on the finder but the bite slows.

Well done presentation Thanks. Very clear good info

Can you use this plunking for salmon from the bank?

That's south but up here Midwest it's different

I know the hole he is talking about on the river I found it last year it's primo I was hitting monster large mouth and white fish in the fall in there and watched two boats smashing pike

You invented the Tokyo rig.......

Don't forget about on the back of a scrounger head. Great bait rigged that way!

This series of videos are the most informative videos out there.

I’ve accidentally put a whole spool of 6# crappie mono in a pot of water that was on the verge of boiling with smoke rolling off it. It’s fine to this day and I’ve landed plenty of nice fish on it .

Looks like an ancient dinosaur or dragon thing...

I have not watched a series of videos like this in years. I've been watching for hours now!. This gentleman is phenomenal at what he does. Thanks A TON for these videos. So very helpful!!

i share your passion for northerns! and tiger muskie (though i have never caught a tiger muskie) im glad i ran across your video bc it answered some questions i had and helps me understand the species better : )

If u watch the video u can read what there using

I see this all the time in pike fishing. Don't grab these delicate and heavy fish by the gills but use a net. But that is considered not "cool" and/or "professional" in the pike-fishing community.

Fuck the fish get that thing mounted you sorry shit

You don't want to harm the fish yet you're using a boga grip? Those things should be outlawed. One hard shake and those metal prongs can go right thru the jaw of the fish. But you use them and market them to make money. That's just pathetic.

Excelente vídeo!!!

My question is. How many Shad Raps does John have in his tackle box now ??? 😂✌️

If you can find water deeper than 25ft in winter, with panfish or walleye anglers on it, youve found most of the big pike. In waters that deepn most of the catch and release fish die of barotrauma and die just under the ice. Those biggest pike in that part of the system key in on that. If youre 28ft of water with ppl all around, set a 10" or better dead bait about a foot under the ice on a tip up. Youll be shocked how many large fish you catch. In a basin, the underside of the ice is the dominant structure, and where the easier to get larger meals are. They know that. Too bad more folks cant be convinced on how well it works. If you try it onen i can promise youll try it again.

What rod length do you recommend for lead core on rainbows? What weight range on pole?

Love to see them released

Dude...I always have had way better luck quartering the shore line and fan casting as parrellel to shore as possible

Man I have watched schools of walleye push balls of shiners up on a causeway with the wind. Literally pushing the bait right up to shore and rolling on them. Switch out to a floating jerk bait and money.

Phucing with fish

So did I (2-3 times a month). Then I discovered braid to leader.

that tank 17 minutes in is why we do what we do

man this guy knows his stuff. thank you for keeping this on here whoever is responsible

Fucking clown

That’s a face only a mother can love😂

I've been fishing with rapala's in rivers for years with the front hooks removed. It works very well for 20+ inch browns.

Excellent fisherman with this one simple comment and I paraphrase "I don't fish deadbait, I don't like it they tend to swallow it and ... I want to release my fish alive".
