Good job on the winning fish Bryce! Good job getting on those lake trout gentlemen!

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

Thanks a bunch. He tends to catch quite a few when we go, just finding the right fish took all weekend lol

[@jamiemasih9488]

Dad.... LOL, Hands off that drag! Awesome video love to see a young guy getting after it.

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

Ahhaha right. What I did not include in the video was me doing it again on an even larger fish than his winning fish hahaha. Thanks amd hope yiu enjoyed it

[@jamiemasih9488]

I did. Fish a lot with my 11 year old and get the same reaction when my "helping" doesn't work out.@@barrybutleroutdoors5293

Congrats Bryce! Good vid you guys very cool. Love the drone footage

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

Haha thanks man. He was stoked for sure

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

That's pretty sweet! I like the rod holder set up. You leave the bail open? With a bell. Is that's what is going on here?

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

Yup, so we use a slide rig just like sturgeon fishing except it's a bell weight sliding on the line. And sit it on bottom, let them eat and take line like a tipup, walk up, close the bail and go 🤟... Main line 15lb braid, then about 20 feet of 14lb mono with the slide rig and beads at the end tied to a swivel... Then about a 18 inch 14pb fluro leader, with a 3/0 gamakatsu ... using full size 10 inch suckers

[@barrybutleroutdoors5293]

The rod holders have crap threads on them, so I use a 1/4" drill bit a put a pilot hole and they screw down easily. Rod will never go under lol.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

@@barrybutleroutdoors5293 Yeah I did this kinda set up with the jaw jacker and anchovies and they'd swallow it. Probably the bigger bait is better for this. They sure do like picking up dead bait off the bottom.

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

Yeah thats a good idea, never seen that before.@@barrybutleroutdoors5293

[@greggreg2263]
