I've said it before on one of your prior videos. They totally relax me. No obnoxious intro music, no branded up from head to toe loud pro's and no ad's. Just love it. Very soothing. Keep up the great work.

[@jonathanmounts662]

Comepletely agree

[@keithgahagan9525]

Ditto. It's one of my talking points describing this channel.

[@fredrik8500]

Plenty of obnoxious comments saying the same thing over and over on every video though.

[@SyntagmaStation]

Well said

I've had other BPM baits kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

The opening shots alone of this video had me; I envy every moment you spend in such gorgeous waters, fish or no fish...!!! Yet another masterpiece from the Bob Ross of Fishing. 😎

[@mikeyc1928]

Dang it! So calm and so very quiet. And casting into the mist. Plus, catching fish to boot. How great is that.

[@sammylacks4937]

That's a pretty pond. I love the few ponds here that have a look like Northern waters. ( Mostly beaver ponds incidentally) Any cast looks like a big boil may happen at any time.

Mad respect using the beaver. Speaking from a Canadian angler.

How's the weather up in Canada? Here in NYC you can cook eggs on the sun plus the humidity has me hating everything. I was born and bread in middle, eastern Europe therefore will never get used to these temperatures. I'm seriously considering moving somewhere up north. Can't take the summer heat.

This is too much like the duck lure to resist. Those fish are simply amazing. I love how every time you hook into a fish and say there's a nice one, the boat naturally turns right to those monsters! 👍👍👍

[@stevethebarber1]

Another great video my friend thanks for sharing 👊🏻 I wanna say I love the way you release your fish. One it looks cool but it’s also so much better for them for you to not just chuck them back in the water and discombobulate them like a lot of ppl do. Much respect for you and how you handle these beautiful fish.

[@antoniomora1255]

What a heavenly fishing morning in that stunninly beautiful pristine lake, and with beaver´ s lodges too! Water lilies are usually a sign of water purity and show a good habitat for bass mainly, but also for pike. This reminds me the rivers Bullaque and Bañuelos of my childhood: reeds and wide extensions of white water lilies (now virtually disappeared due to agricultural herbicides, unlike the tougher species yellow water lily also occurring in Spain) used to make a dream for anglers pursuing bass and monster pike, and big carp as well. Regrettably almost all that is gone currently. How fortunate you are Matt for enjoying those gorgeous fishing venues. North Dakota is one of less densely populated states in the USA and Minnesota I gess is similar. I can see in Google Earth Pro that there are lots of small lakes and quite a few big ones too, as well as impressive rivers (Missouri, Red River of the North…) A fishing paradise indeed that I wish you American can enjoy unspoiled for many years to come.
