Marling Baits needs to go out catfishing with you some day

Sitting in the kayak beating up wipers and watching RC. Life is good!

Well it's official... you my friend are now a master baiter!! Hell of a slam!

[@RiverCertified]

Hahaha thanks man!

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Stellar vid dude, keep them coming

[@pabllam8017]

Thanks for another great day of fishing. I like when you have just a regular fish day. Keep safe.

[@christowphersadventures6527]

I am a cross over audience!! 🙋 Nates channel is awesome as well! 🤘

[@scotland.is.magical528]

Good vid bud, marlins cool guy to watch, his humour is genius.

[@RiverCertified]

I must agree. I get a kick outta him.

[@elihedden6052]

The “it’s about to happen” big fish music makes me soo hyped dude.

[@RiverCertified]

Hell yeah man!

[@JTsCrappieCave]

Every since I have been a little kid we have always gone to the neighbors to ask permission to fish and hunt their property. little did I know that they already new who we were from our parents but our parents made us go ask in person our selves. It makes you more confident doing it your self from an early age.

[@RiverCertified]

Honestly that's awesome man. So many good lessons from that.

[@jakegravesoutdoors]

Awesome video, Spencer. I bet there’s nothing like catching a fish on a lure that you hand crafted. Got me a couple musky baits I’m excited to try out this spring.

[@CT15MK18]

Nate is a Master bait maker...

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Yep.

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Great video and nice pike. As always thanks for sharing.

[@tobywilliamson5213]

Was walking along the river near Chicago wishing I had a rod and real !!! Not sure how deep this river is but it looks good lots of lay downs and brush, but super clear water

[@Djzsolo]

What a video hit it out of the park.. those lures are awesome amazing colors !! Keep up the great content!!

[@RiverCertified]

Awesome man. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@chadchapman5303]

I actually watch both of your guys channels. Marlin baits don’t put as many videos out as you but I love watching him make paint then catch with his baits. I do love watching you pull those big spotted cats as we call them in south Louisiana out the brush piles.

[@robwells9601]

Nate is one of the best

[@curtclonts1529]

My gosh! That was impressive-all those varieties caught in a day on those lures. That has to be river fishing at its best. Nice job! Fun to watch! Thanks man!

[@RiverCertified]

It was a super fun day! Glad you enjoyed it man!

[@kellvaughn131]

Awesome collab!

[@mybestlifeoutdoors7077]

Still chasing my first walleye.. But I caught my first White Bass.. Was an amazing fight tossing a road runner with a white paddle tail for a trailer. 6lb line and a 7'6" medium light Eagle Claw spin/fly pack rod... And here I am fish another night for crappie and my first flathead watching you catch fish

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad you're catching fish dude! Walleyes are tough in my area, but it makes them super fun.

[@catfish4life896]

Saw the straight straight heat sticker on the whisker seeker sight I want one for my bait cooler😂😂. Good video!

[@RiverCertified]

Same here. Nate is a cool dude to hang out with!

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

You should do more videos with Nate!

[@RiverCertified]

Hopefully it will happen. I'm gonna try to talk him into going catfishing.

[@baggers-]

I was late getting to this one ! I was watching Nate make a rock lure! Just a shame he got it snagged ! Nice to see him making some plastics and then using them and hooking stuff and shit like trees and then watch the trees fall in the ditch! I like these type of videos and Spen you smashed it out of the ball park yet again keep doing this and the Pirates will sign you up !

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Well THAT was very cool, two of my favorite channels fishing together. I've never caught or snagged a Sturgeon. That was like a dinosaur. Crappie on a river are so random for me. Don't think I've ever caught two... Always one.

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it. It was a super fun day on the water man!

Spence it would be interesting to do taste comparison to bled walleye to un-bled. When you catch a few to compare

[@fishseason101]

This video got my sub

[@therezboysoutdoors44]

Walleye my favorite besides flatheads

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

I've had plenty small mouth fish tacos over the years. I'd say dem walleye were out a little further than you guys could cast. They do usually stack up this time of year. We go clear up two half ounce gitzit jig tipped with a extra large shinner. Tipping those jigs with shiners may have helped you guys this trip. Great vid and keep your powder dry and your pantry stocked young man 💪😎🙏

[@RiverCertified]

I almost kept one the other day. I think we would have beat em up if we had shiners, but not having to deal with livebait is one of my favorite parts of walleye fishing though. Hope you're doing good!

[@rickeggers644]

The easiest way to clean pike is like we do the suckers we gig. Scale then fillet with skin remaining on. Next score them by making 1/8th to 1/4 inch wide cuts down to the skin. This cuts the bones up and skin usually makes the fillets "role open" crisping up the bones. Prepared this way in yellow corn meal, they are as good as walleye to me.

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate the advice!

With the price of food fishing is a good way to cut down on the. Store Bill . Going into the winter we would fill up Freezers with steelhead and Catfish. Summer all the trout we could eat . Do up a Cow when we could get on cheep enough. And 250 to 300 pound Pig . City folk have a hard time .

67 degrees today in north central illinois with all rivers being flooded. Uhhhhhhg
