Great to see that you used the lip grabbers that I sent to you for that specific purpose! I knew it would help you handle the Grennal you catch. Good to see that the fishing is coming back to your area. Your day may have not ended up with a lot of fish caught, but as they say, the worst day of hunting or fishing is better than the best day of working!!!! Be Safe, and God Bless!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Man we had a good time and thank you for those grabbers. They work fine and we gonna give em a workout this summer

[@user-tv2fr6eg4z]

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Thank you

[@edsmith7786]

Did a lil fishing the other day but never caught a thing , but we still enjoyed the time by the lake , ill send you a pic , it was a beautiful place

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

It takes going regularly and learning a little every time to be successful but if i dont catch a thing im right where i enjoy life the most and your right that is what its all about

[@tommylitchfield3450]

The Blind Eels have just run your perches slam off! I tried the braid when it first came out and we didn't gee haw too spiffy. It's good for a bream buster to be able to straighten out little wire hooks when you get hung up, but I like that Trilene XT or Big Game.... Ol Son, I bet that grinnel just WISHED he didn't wake up with a cravin for crawdads that mornin! You bout pulled his false teeth out!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Man them things were biting good too lol

[@rebeccaback3287]

Congratulations on your Grinel! I like to finish.The main that you got to get out and enjoy GOD'S good green earth.David Back from Menifee co KY.God speed!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yes any day out fishing is a good day in my book

[@Ifitfitz22]

That line did sound exactly like a .22 going off lol I almost thought someone might be popping a squirrel for a second haha

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

That is the first time ive popped that salt water line and it had a crack to it. Stout stuff

[@johngilliland8895]

Your Logo is missing the Bowie knife that is a part of you love your videos keep them coming and I will watch everyone of them

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Yea i wish it had one but we so far in i dont want to change it now .

[@jerrylittle8922]

We use to fish for them black fish with a long red plastic worm back in the 80s. Tom Man flip tail

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I grew up using the black fire tail worms. Its fun no matter which bait they hit tho aint it

[@christopherrice5887]

I enjoyed your video I myself have never tried eating them or targeted them I have caught plenty of dogfish through the ice while trying for perch and crappie here in southern ontario

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Ig you keep it alive till you ready to clean it and cook right away its good . Water speeds up the breakdown of the meat as well so careful if you wet it. I wipe them clean with a paper towel

[@christopherrice5887]

I am going to try the next one I get thank you@@SpiritoftheOutdoors

[@jeffreydevillez7433]

Just now catchy up on your videos. I like em ol hoss. Keep it coming. About the knives???? I seen how good yourn are and I don't think I can come up with that right now but I know it would be well worth it. GOD bless you and yourn from eastern Kentucky

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

I had to jack the prices up to keep from having to make so many . Seems high to me too bud but now everything cost too much. That is exactly why i started making them

[@GarryRobinson-nk5dl]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors I couldn't catch those on anything up this way till I cut- up minnows! Then I killed them! Super hard fighting fish!!

[@j.l.327]

Alright!!! Good times, if you ever pull that braid too much and it buries up under itself on the spool, repent for backsliding

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Haha me and it may not be cut out for each other. Ima give it a fair chance on the crappie poles . Doubt ill ever use it on my bait caster

[@kmnremtp]

Ahhhh time to cook some grennel!!! Err, grinnell??? However you wanna spell it??? Is it grinnell???

Fish sticks😅 we call um Timber Bass lol

Hard to chew

[@VinniesFishing1]

Awesome brother, I told u to use some braid. When is the last time u hooked and caught a grennel first hookset with mono?

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

That grennil was caught in mono. The braid is on the crappie pole. I been using mono since i could walk

[@VinniesFishing1]

@@SpiritoftheOutdoors that must've been a good hookset. I've missed a ton of snakehead using mono in the past. It just has a lot of stretch

[@kmnremtp]

Was that cinnabars?!?!

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

They were so small I really couldn’t tell
