I'm with you 😊! Fishing spinning rods and casting is so much better than trolling, especially for smaller fish!! After all the fight is the best 💪 part!! Nice fish 😄🐟!!

[@FishingNorthernOntarioCanada]

Trolling is good for eating sandwiches 🥪

[@audacityfishing1293]

Heck yea!! New upload from the Great Lakes king himself🔥

[@otis4928]

[@craigjohnchronicles2504]

Bought a Fortis 190 on sale this past winter, and recycled my cheap non-eco net. Also bought a Frabill floating wade/trout net for the canoe....

[@FishingNorthernOntarioCanada]

Great Video 👍. Do you make a river casting rod say 8 foot 6 even a prototype I could put to the test up here for you with video? I used a croix avid but they stopped making the model , used for fishing giant Steelhead /salmon in St Mary’s River very soon 🇨🇦🎣

[@donnya6019]

Nice video! What we’re your wave heights that day and wind direction? I’m new to coho fishing and just want to get a better understanding of things. Thanks

[@geneelkins1707]

Nice!

[@rickiex]

hey eric, could you go over your terminal tackle for steelhead??

[@deadliestfightfishing994]

Caught tons of small coho salmon last weekend at port Washington using night crawlers surprisingly but they were only 10-11 inches 😂 this weekend I think I will use spawn there to try and catch a few bigger ones. And my favorite fish to eat out of the Great Lakes is steelhead.

[@donnya6019]

Do you buy your spawn from somewhere?

[@hrhhrh4432]

Hey Eric I just Moved From the coast of North Carolina to Wisconsin last year and I was wondering if you had any recommendations for catching Browns and Coho within like 45 miles of Green Bay?

[@ericeppensteiner8105]

If only our ice would go away. Can't launch in either of our marinas yet. Both the power plants in town have also closed which has changed up the spring fishing big time.

[@stripermanly]

Fished Racine recently and was going to investigate the Oak Creek power plant, but never did. Is there a place close to it where one could slip a kayak in and make a short pilgrimage to the plant?

[@NothinFancyFishing]

Are there any other spots people are catching em that are within the break wall?

[@williamstribrny8518]

How long do the cohos hang around these areas in the spring? We’re so busy this time of year planting Christmas trees in Ohio, but would love to get onto some of this action with my wife when things slow down for us (middle of June). Are they still around at that time? Or have they moved out to bigger water? Love the videos and the personality you bring. Have been subscribed since you started filming! Tight lines!

[@wibigfishcom]

They are around all summer in and out with the wind and temps

[@topwaterstrike2403]

Where you guys fishing at?!

[@tomschroeder1045]

Nice video, thanks. I heard bender has hazards going out from the landing, is there a preferred route?

[@wibigfishcom]

Be careful go slow extremely shallow

[@rickburoker6720]

Like.....how shallow ??

[@teamlosi11]

🥳

[@marquisamon6074]

This man has money. but, to be honest, he is right. so hell, lets go fishing.

[@dansobko8700]

is there an app you can use to look up wind mph, wave lengths, and weather forecast? and also what is the prime weather for spring cohos

[@wibigfishcom]

I use iWindsurf

[@dansobko8700]

@@wibigfishcom thanks, heading up there Sunday, will minnows work also?

[@1WilliamsBrian]

Can't believe they let you close to the power plant. We had an old coal burning plant on the Niagara River. I've been escorted away from it and told I couldn't be within 200 ft of it. It's all closed up now but had the warm water discharge and always had fish around.

[@adamsmith3996]

the Huntley plant !

[@dilligaf0220]

@5:18 Your 1st fish, that is 100% a Coho/Chinook hybrid, a Cohnook! Look at the spots on his back, and especially the spots on THE BOTTOM of it's tail. Tellin' ya, that fish is a Coho with a healthy dose of Chinook genes. Lake Ontario where I started fishing salmon, you hardly see any. In Wisconsin, especially natural runs up on Superior tribs, caught more Cohnooks than you'd see in a lifetime in any other state.

[@thewildbill86]

You ever pick up anything besides salmon out there?

[@GabesFishing]

Browns

Thanks so much Dan greatly appreciated

[@gordonmohr2268]

I think 2nd fish is small king not coho

[@sevensurvival]

I actually like brown trout better than all other trout. I caught a 23", and a 19" in the pine river from My kayak.With a pink rainbow trout blue fox spinner #3 . I cure them though overnight in apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, and sea salt in water in the fridge. I then candied them after rinsing well , in Raw sugar, sea salt and cayenne pepper, in the fridge covered with the sugar, and salt. pepper mixture, dry no water this time. This drys the fish, and pulls all fish taste out. Then I roast them with sweet onions, garlic, and gypsy, or banana peppers, and strips of carrot. Brown trout this way, or barbecued are delicious. I may do a catch and cook on My show. Exodus Survival. You do good work, . There is fishing lakes on the first level of heaven, and boats that move by Your thoughts alone. Jesus loves fishing, so did most of The Twelve, it's how They made their living You do good work, thanks, blessings, and respect.......Seven Thunders.///////
