[@bradhite6222]

Thanks for sharing , that catfish was a monster .

[@Vstromxt]

Im a frequent fisherman at Clinton. Ive trolled in that area and havent caught any hybrids. Lots of catfish,drum and little walleyes. A few crappie. Mostly using bottom bouncer worm harness.

[@mikedudka103]

What poles are you guys trolling with?

[@billmoody9736]

You guys caught some nice fish! Probably because of the tiller man. Maybe Dad needs to stay at the front more often. haha

[@mikedudka103]

you guys still go out to clinton?

[@FishCraftCasey]

@@mikedudka103 from time to time yes!

[@alanvazquez3356]

What clinton lake ilinois no way i legit caught one striper or hybrid i don't know which kind it was but it was really small and now that I see these big fish still out there brings me hope of catching a big one

[@kerischmidt1038]

I’ve fished Clinton a couple times with no luck at all! Gonna try to troll it next time. What is the name of the lure you’re using? Looks like you found the gold! Great fish!

[@patrickquantock9392]

Were you the guys next to me this past Sunday? I was in the kayak and lost that big flathead at the side of the kayak?

[@FishCraftCasey]

Yep! That was us!

[@patrickquantock9392]

@@FishCraftCasey I thought I recognized you guys when I just came across this video. Kicking myself wishing I had asked you guys to net that fish for me. Definitely was way bigger of a fish than I was ready for. Thanks for hanging out again. That was my first trip ever to Clinton. I will definitely be back soon after that. Crazy seeing you guys getting those blues on plugs too. Never would've thought to try that.

[@FishCraftCasey]

@@patrickquantock9392 No problem! Thanks for finding the video! You would be surprised how active catfish can get.

[@sk111768]

Can you share the location of Wipers spot?

[@Vstromxt]

Looks like its between the two bridges and the hot water outlet.

[@gregspanglo1513]

[@jdf6574]

[@jdf6574]

FishCraft thanks ! Just subbed

[@dennisradtke8939]

what you call a wiper is a Stripper, correct? why do you refer to them as a wiper? are they different from a Stripped Bass?

[@FishCraftCasey]

A wiper also known as a hybrid bass is a cross between a white bass and striper.

[@CycleMore18]

@@FishCraftCasey I be darn, I did not know that. I just looked it up on the internet and there it is. Thank you for the knowledge.

[@tb7009]

A wiper is cross breed between a striper and a white bass.

You should have kept that drum and got the magic rocks out of his head!!!
