Downtown Seattle Urban Panfish Adventure

[@alexwilson1913]

“I’m just happy catching fish.” IMO that’s what it’s all about. The big ones are great, but the little ones, the unique ones, the rare ones, it can all be fun as long as you set your mind to it and size the gear correctly. It doesn’t have to be a 30lb king every time.

I lived in Vancouver BC for over 9 years, I love the little city lakes for small panfish. Just a great way to escape without going futher than 15min

[@douglasfaloon5340]

I grew up panfishing. Was always fun, minimal equipment, short walk to a local pond, meeting friends and enjoying the day. Your video brings back great memories, looks like you had fun as well. Thnx. Doug

[@lastminutejoe]

love the vibe of just gettin out for the hell of it, middle of the city still catchin fish, captured it well.

[@TheFlyerBill]

I drove by this lake for 3 years and never thought about fishing it. I tend to run from any city. Interesting to see this.

[@BC-ue3ku]

I really love pan fishing in the summer. I always catch multiple species and I almost always get surprised with at least one “full grown fish” largemouth, smallmouth, catfish etc.. don’t need any fancy gear either.

[@Chris-tw4jm]

Green lake is another source of them. Not far away.

[@AlpineForge9600]

Looks like a great morning of fishing , great work!

[@troypattillo4100]

I learned to fish for bass in that lake, Fremont Canal and Lk Washington. It holds some hawgs! Plenty of incidental rock bass along the way.

[@pmm422]

I grew up in the finger lakes were these little rascals are very prevalent. One thing of not is that they are ultra aggressive. You would generally catch 50 of these for every small mouth you would catch.

[@squamishfish]

We have the invasive species up here in the metro Vancouver BC area also , Black Crappie’s, Large and Small mouth Bass , sun fish and Yellow perch , in some of the lakes in the urban areas they took over from the Natural Trout like Cutthroat

[@Kado244]

You can also catch them in the Sammamish River. Iv even caught them by accident in my crawdad traps their. Tight lines

[@trashfishtvoregon7290]

I've always wanted to catch a rock bass they look like a ton of fun! Wish we had them down here in Oregon. We have green sunfish which look and act really similar I guess

[@NorthwestOpenSeason]

Isn’t it nice to just go back to basics and fish like we did as kids? They’re not as popular as other videos, but they have a special purpose anyway

[@colejfishingadventures]

Beautiful area and nice fish! Great video man! I also like making fishing videos and really enjoy your content! Keep it up! 🤝🤝

[@NorthWestKayakFishing]

We had a lot of Rock Bass in the lake where my family cottage was on in Ontario Canada and I found them very annoying. We'd be using crayfish or other bait to sight fish for large mouth and these guys were always zipping in and grabbing the bait. We used to get some big ones over a pound once and a while.

[@Private_Idaho_1]

If you do that kind of urban fishing in the southeast US you catch Ciclids and Oscars in addition to the natives.

[@thomassmestead2801]

Surprisingly, Lake Union holds some pretty fair sized Rainbow Trout, but is rarely fished.

[@nicksenones205]

it was the bird cutting your line for sure...looked guilty to me.

[@enriquepazwebdevelopment]

Urban bank fishing please. Beautiful pnw love it love your videos.

[@SalishCascadian]

As much as the mohai section of south lake Union looks like prime panfish habitat, my personal experience has shown it to be not so good. If you ever are in the neighborhood again I would recommend the SE corner of Lake Union (where one can catch crappie and potentially carp & tench) or the Fremont and University cuts of the ship canal which seem to produce far larger rock bass, smallmouth, and pumpkinseeds and have great shore access. Hope this is helpful.

[@coyakbrian3411]

When the line got cut my Grandmother would have said "turtle's"

[@spiltmilt]

Ninja turtles 🐢 😂

[@ricksonora6656]

It would be fun to use a fishing rod to “drag” slide transitions across the screen. With my luck, I’d get snagged.

[@spiltmilt]

Great suggestion.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked 🙏🐸✌️🙌

[@chubbrock659]

I’ve been to downtown Seattle, there are some rough spots. Hope no one messed with you!

[@zer0set721]

I live in the area. It's all Amazon, Google, etc. They don't let the poor and homeless in that area. He was not near Westlake, 3rd and Pike/Pine, etc. He was fine. Security all over that area.

[@chubbrock659]

@@zer0set721 true, just outside pike market area was rough. I stepped off the underground and was hit up for change immediately. saw drug deals going on right in daylight, had to step over people passed out on the sidewalk, homeless dude with his ass hanging out...

[@Newtrous]

Do you have any plans to fish Lake Washington during the salmon run?

[@spiltmilt]

Not that I know of
