[@WestinSmith]

Haha nope that was just us 🤣 lackin on ideas and motivation for a bit

[@stjester]

Thanks Mark! We’ll be seein ya sometime soon I’m sure 👊🏼

[@straight_adventure712]

I hope that you had some good time off but definitely missed new content from you. Can't wait to see new awesome vids! Going to be trying out the Tokyo rig this year because of your vid on it and I wouldn't be sporting 2 Metanium reels if not for your channel.

[@WestinSmith]

So awesome, appreciate the comment! Those Metanium’s were a steal if you got them from that site we mentioned. Honestly I want to get more and offload some other reels because of how smooth it is.

[@straight_adventure712]

Yeah, I got them from that site. They are super smooth. And they are by far my favorite reel. I never would have known about that sweet deal if not for the vid you put out so I definitely want to say thank you for letting all of us know. I jumped on it and bought one that day and when that first one came in I spooled it up took it out and bought the second that night.

[@dalinsoutdoorfishing4967]

Best youtuber in the game is BACK!!!!!!!!!

[@madtownangler]

Looks like a sign from above to start catfishing. Looks like you moved too!!!

[@steelpoopstick9]

No intro…no outro….ngl this is one of the better fishing vids I’ve seen 😅

[@WestinSmith]

Appreciate that feedback!

[@steelpoopstick9]

I think fellow boat owners will appreciate this vid the most. A lot goes in to putting your boat in the water each time. You’re not on the water in just a matter of minutes like most videos suggest. Cheers!

[@williamsiler5074]

Weelcome back, and I'm not the only one wanting to see you fling a fly rod again. Humminbird replaced a cracked screen, wasn't too expensive. I'm sure Garmin will also.

[@WestinSmith]

We talked with customer support. They don’t offer new glass or replacements they just say “upgrade” to the new one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@williamsiler5074]

@@WestinSmith Besides Garmin having the best live scope I will stick with Humminbird. I run Humminbird on my Sheriff boats (which I've been driving for 28 years) mostly for the chart plotter options. If you are ever in the CA delta in Oct-Nov give me a yell. I relocate there and chase stripers on the fly. I have rods rigged on the boat. Love to have you join me.. Again, welcome back.

[@MikesBites210]

This was ART, didn't even need to catch any!
