[@timduquette9483]

Would you do a video on how you spool a Centerpin?

[@brianamado4366]

[@josiahmartin5181]

how do you like that raven?? I have a steelheader but those look fun!

[@michaelsanders7971]

thanks

[@TheFisherman78]

Good stuff. What do you guys think of the fully ported matrix?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+TheFisherman78 good reel in the mid price range.

[@thomasfinkenzeller9235]

Which Rods and Reels do you use? I like the action of the rods very much. Are these modified Fly Rods?

[@nolanlocke3377]

hey I watch your bird hunting videos but I would love too know what shotguns you use,I think I should get a over and under what would you suggest

[@DHSviper96]

Great video! Was wondering what set up do you use for center pin fishing? Like what rod reels line and stuff like that.

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+FS viper Raven has a great float fishing gear assortment. We run a lot of their stuff.

[@jakebodfish547]

Where were you guys fishing? i live in michigan and is that the Pere marquette river?

[@lilstevo74]

Tips with the rick... all I do is your buddies basic cure with some borax and Creek Water and I catch more fish and I can give away...lol. maybe you guys should take a video Rick on one side and the consummate Sportsman on the other with two different cures and see who hooks up the most😁

[@gaberathke7709]

+the consumate sportsman,do you live on the U.P. or mainland mich?

[@fastfishinghd2175]

Sweet video! Were you using a Gopro hero 3 and 3+ on this video?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+FAST Fishing HD Thanks! The camera on the pole is an Original Hero. The main "motor cam" is a Hero 3+ black.

[@submissionoutdoors570]

Do you have a idea which covers your rig? I tried checking your page, but didn't see any how to videos for float fishing.

[@ConsummateSportsman]

I don't quite follow... You're looking for a rigging video for float fishing?

[@submissionoutdoors570]

The Consummate Sportsman sorry about the typo. Yes, I'm looking for a rigging video for centerpinning in deep fast water. I fish a saltwater inlet that averages 10 ft. The tides can be very swift. I used to centerpin in Ohio, but always fished deep pools with slower flows.

[@ConsummateSportsman]

I personally have never fished deep/fast flows, but I imagine the setup would be similar? Perhaps stack the shot together instead of spreading it out?

[@mattsandlin1229]

ok my source for fishing ... close to the flint area where would you go to catch walleye ?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+Matt Sandlin Saginaw bay, by far.

[@dark8732]

Where you Guy Fishing at here in Michigan?

[@jonschwall2082]

Can't stop laughing.

[@gavinsmitty23]

are you familiar with muskegon river, and or fished it?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+gavinsmitty23 I have fished it, many years ago.

[@ethemperor1470]

jb I was wondering what type of line that was on your centerpin ?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+Logan Rushing Raven float line. 12lb I believe

[@ethemperor1470]

+The Consummate Sportsman okay thanks

[@UBDSLO1]

Did you guys have Liquid Mayhem in the boat?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

LOL.

[@royalwayne6260]

what kind of setup do yall use?.. is it a fly rod and reel?

[@billyc2572]

does it look like they are fly fishing? you don't see the float and split shot? you didn't see the Rick's tips about roe? since when are fly rod that long and fly reels that big. smh

[@hillsteade]

@@billyc2572 no need to be rude, the reels are very similar in appearance and I have seen fly rods up to 12ft.

[@billyc2572]

@@hillsteade okayyyyyy fair enough....

[@KPGaming1506]

Manistee River?

[@jasonnester9514]

Kyle Kunec no

[@paulmoores7984]

get em ricky

[@jasonnester9514]

U guys running 8’ from hook to float

[@michaelsanders7971]

what kind of boat is that

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+michael Sanders Riverman

[@cromedrifter8611]

where r u

[@renegadep684]

Garlic powder and sour cream?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

Shhh. Don't tell!

[@V_z714]

those steelheads look like raimbow trout

[@V_z714]

Oh thanks for clearing it up

[@CHEEZ966]

+Zach Piczkur steel heads are salmon not trout they look very similar though

[@CHEEZ966]

+Zach Piczkur I see I always thought they were salmon because they go to sea and a lot of places around me refer them as salmon not trout

[@coltonreed380]

These are lake run rainbows, not real steelhead.

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+Colton Reed They're the same fish as their pacific cousins. Same size range, coloration, and temperament. Migratory rainbows are steelhead. Some run into the pacific, some run into the inland oceans of the great lakes. To call these "lake run rainbows" is just as accurate as calling them steelhead. They're both. Implying the pacific fish are much different than the great lakes fish is disingenuous at best.

[@Tightlinenation]

Sour cream? Really ?

[@ConsummateSportsman]

+PaOutdoorjournal Hahaha. Nah, man. Ric is a funny guy.
