[@jefferylyons4774]

Thanks for sharing another benefit of fishing in the rain no other boats in sight

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching

[@KennyPattersonFishing]

Nice video!!!!! Fished Dale Hollow yesterday and Dale Tournament video goes public this afternoon!!

[@fishinngrinnin9937]

You're an awesome angler, your technique is on point as well. Can you occasionally show your fish finder screen? Thanks for another great video!

[@mikewiles463]

Awesome catch Brandon, they always said the isn't wetter when it rains and you are right about it affecting the fisherman more than the fish!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Man you are putting out some Great Videos, Thanks for sharing your time on the water with us.

[@MrSalmon1982]

Where do you get your power handle for the legals at?

[@myportal8512]

I agree about getting those great catches in the rain. Nice fish!

[@cecilpratt2925]

Keep up the great video’s Brandon I beleave you have some of the best videos out there.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Really appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@donniedickerson8077]

Good Fish your catching out There,, Fished last Thursday and Friday (12/9--- 12/10) , South Mississippi, They're Doing The Same Thing, What I Found Was In open Water hugging the bottom Near And Under The bait balls ,. Constantly Moving I finally figured out what direction they seem to be moving so I got above them and kinda drifted with them searching around the boat With The Livescope as I went ,, I managed to get enough for cookup but I saw alotta small ones Both days, Never really Found A school bigger fish, just a few better fjsh mixed up with alotta little ones , When I'd target Those and the small ones would swarm the Jig like Yellow jackets lol , Think I caught one black crappie in the two afternoons All The rest was White ,. Anyway this seems to be the pattern everywhere , what I was finding on structure Have pulled away from it now , Keep It Reelin Brother 💦🐟🎣🤠🇺🇸

[@terrycuzzort3181]

Great content as always, seems to be a lot of black nose crappie in that area to. I am digging the rain suit btw, thanks for sharing Brandon.

[@RCL1]

Hey Brandon you need some boggy boots on. I found some on Amazon insulated and they zip up in the front keeps those piggy’s toasty.

[@eddiefralix3502]

Those were some good looking Crappies!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@rickangel7288]

I have spike it in my boat. I use it when the bit gets slow

[@martinpeeleagelesswarrior8089]

Great video! You taught me a few things I didn’t know & that’s always good!

[@brandonyeager4217]

Try the Killer Klatt color in crappie magnet...and get some slot limit baits in blue cheese and chartreuse...they love those colors up there

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Just ordered some of the Killer Klatt color the other day. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks for watching!

[@hawghunters]

Looks like fun. You make it look easy.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

It may look easy but it comes from a lifetime of learning, and still learning. I love it as much as anybody though. Thanks for watching!

[@johnforrester2666]

Awesome video man I love watching your videos you need to enter some crappie tournaments 😂

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I’ve thought about it but I think I’ll just keep my crappie fishing about the love of the game and save the tournaments for the bass side. You never know though, maybe one day. Thanks for watching!

[@tresbeasley687]

You and these empty ramp parking lots on the last couple of videos are making me jealous. 😁 Great job!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I’m the only one crazy enough to be out there on the nasty days lol. Thanks for watching!

[@dannycano2551]

Great video always put your time in even in the rain love seeing you slay them nice slabs..keep on fishing..

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Yes sir thanks for watching!

[@kevinbarney6820]

WOW i was waiting for you start fishing with the brade well no idea what's good or Bad

[@The_Next_Cast]

Alright! Great video and I like both of your set ups! Thanks for sharing!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidbaker1359]

I agree, I like casting to them a lot more than vertical jigging! 👍

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Me too! Much more fun to me. Thanks for watching!

[@allbrightpropainting6347]

Awesome video sir! I’m learning a lot from your videos! Keep up the awesome vids! 😊

[@randycooper2046]

One of the best days fishing I ever had was a tournament at Wilson Lake (Alabama) in December and it was pouring. I was catching so many fish I wasn't paying attention to how much water was collecting in the boat. Looked down and realized water was backing up through the drain in the floor. I turned on the Bilge pump and it pumped out water for about an hour. I must have caught 25-30 bass. Best 5 was almost 22 pounds and included one 5.5 pound smallmouth. Won the tournament. Was a great day!

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

TN river smallmouth especially love those nasty rainy days. Sounds like a great trip! Thanks for watching!

[@JM-jm2bl]

Do you ever fish Old Hickory Lake? Was wondering if you had any videos on that lake.

[@joedavis2928]

Awesome videos !!!!! Have you ever tried trolling for Crappie using deep diving crank baits 25+ ft. of water ? I caught some slabs like that fishing with a older fellow it was his way of Crappie fishing. 35 years ago

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I never have tried trolling crankbaits for crappie but I’ve watched some videos of guys doing it. I just like casting to them and feeling that thump lol. Thanks for watching!

[@panfishin-fool8057]

Why does crappie fishing have to be so darn addictive🤦🏾‍♂️🖤🎣

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

It definitely is! Thanks for watching

[@eddieyates2677]

Was hoping you’d post today. I saw your truck in the parking lot. I got there after lunch but had trouble finding fish

[@jeremywyatt50]

Awesome video.. love your channel. I’ve noticed you using a split shot up from jig head. I’ve only ever used just jig. Is this for casting farther? Thanks!

[@kayakwesty]

Next video can you show how you found...fished and used active target in open water? Center Hill gets deep quick. I find open water crappie tough to stay on.

[@josephcurl5041]

Great video

[@rickangel7288]

We have alot of black noise crappies in our lake

[@ronknight6400]

Brandon, Watching you catch all of these crappie is great, and you keep referring to what you are seeing on your forward facing sonar, but you never showed us what you are seeing. I appreciate the details on your tackle setup though. Enjoying your crappie series but please show more of your screens when you think about it in the future videos. Thanks.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I’m trying to get better at this, but it is not easy to film what I’m seeing on active target, and fish at the same time. I could add a second camera but that would probably double my editing time on videos and I’m just not willing to do that. I will do my best to show you all more of my screen when I can though. Thanks for the feedback and as always thanks for watching!

[@kroegerj]

Hi Brandon, great video! I just got a Bonifide SS127 kayak. Can you recommend a good low budget fish finder?

[@ryanmiller4952]

Loving your croppy videos I'm from east tn but I'm working up here in middle tn in tullahoma at adcd right on woods reservoir I here its good croppy fishing! I couldn't handle it no more went back home to get my bass boat have you fished it much? bass croppy walleye muskie? Ps You ever need a fishing partner one weekend we can try new spots! May Convince me to get active target!

[@mattsabatino8800]

Another good video...thanks Brandon

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@ejirou1]

rather amazed at the dominance of black nose in that area. Here in the Carolina's they tend to be a fairly rare catch..

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

TWRA stocks a lot of blacknose crappie in our lakes and have been doing so for several years. They have done really well in our area and are fun fish to catch! Thanks for watching!

[@timelliott4148]

Awesome videos real knowledgeable what lake are you fishing at in Tennessee I just got my Tennessee license and I don't know where to go fish.

[@davidtreichler8036]

I am enjoying your videos.

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks

[@scottshipley7376]

I was out there yesterday to.. Bass fishing.. I found a big school of crappie but they wouldn't eat for me.. I started to come tell you to see if you could catch um..lol

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I saw your message when I got home last night. Should have come flagged me down lol. Thanks for watching

[@mikemalone9404]

I've noticed a few other pro's doing crappie videos in their off season. I think you got something started ;)

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Yea I’ve noticed the same thing lately🤔. Thanks for watching!

[@bentonbryant8207]

Awesome! I am struggling with my livescope. Are you casting into the brush pile or casting pass it and retrieving through it or over it?

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

I like to cast just past it and let my bait sink until I see the fish start reacting to it. Normally within a couple of feet of them. Then start reeling slowly keeping the bait just above them. Thanks for watching!

[@billkennedy414]

Nice video never seen those black nose crappie cool looking crappie are they mainly in Tennessee Lakes

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

They are in other parts of the country as well but yes we have a lot of them in our lakes in TN. Thanks for watching!

[@bidkid2020]

Nice crappie enjoyed the video

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@michaelgarrett2291]

Awesome video. What rain suit you got on? Looking to get me a good rain suit.

[@johnhalverson4114]

Really like your content

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Thanks

[@mikefondren2385]

Rain suits have come along way. But, how do you keep your feet dry and warm???

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Wool socks and a good quality pair of boots. Thanks for watching!

[@bhmsupra]

So - what was the opinion on the braid to floor set-up?

[@BrandonLesterFishing]

Old habits die hard lol. I’m still leaning toward straight 4lb vicious mono for now. The braid to fluro setup is nice but just feels different. Thanks for watching!

[@timothythomas3820]
