Fishing a GIANT SENKO + Too Many Trophy Bass To Count

[@greighhowell413]

You've gotta be the most underrated KZbinr for fishing. Great content. Basically a less dumb peric. 10/10

[@chrisbulaw7270]

+Greigh Howell appreciate the love my man!! Glad you're diggin the videos 👊🏻

[@griffind262]

Greigh Howell A1 content

[@MIOutdoors1]

I think it's a tie between Chris and SBFISHINGTV.

[@adamlittle595]

As someone who fishes the places you have been the last few videos, thank you so much for not letting it be widely known. I can guarantee you it's appreciated.

[@lexm0]

Adam Little Yeah, when Jon B did his winter minnesota mississippi river smallmouth video, there was at least 30-40 anglers a day that came down to the same spot. Ruined it since

[@davidmann9467]

I totally get the "not giving away spots" thing but I don't really see how naming a lake that's over 400, 500 acres is going to ruin the fishery. If somebody is that desperate for a spot, they are probably a rookie and when they get on a big body of water like that they won't even begin to know where and how to get fish. Here are some great smallmouth lakes in New Hampshire: Squam, Winnisquam, Newfound. Did I give away any spots, and are these fisheries now ruined? No, they're big lakes that anybody can look up on a map. My point is that unless it's some small pond that has some insane population of big bass, it's unlikely that people are going to come in droves and destroy fish populations there.

[@ntwtransam]

At the same time naming the location adds nothing to the video except for the potential to harm the fisheries.

[@lexm0]

David Mann Those are for anglers that actually respect the fishery though. After Jon B shouted out that spot, I saw people keeping 3,4,5 pound smallmouth all the time. Its the prevention of mass spreading the whereabouts to all anglers, whether they C&R only or keep everything they catch with no regard for the population and generations to come.

[@davidmann9467]

That's true ntwtransam. It certainly wouldn't *help* the fishery to draw more anglers who may not respect the fish. And like I said I think it's fine to keep good fishing locations secret, I just doubt that somebody knowing that a lake has big smallmouth will cause hundreds of anglers to come and take all the good fish to eat. The top smallmouth lakes in NH are well known and fished by ignorant tourists, and yet they still produce monster fish. In some instances taking fish from a lake can help because then there is less competition for forage. Obviously taking all of the 5 pounders out isn't good but culling to some extent can actually help a fishery.

[@andrew.rediker]

Thank you for spreading the word and helping protect the smallmouth and other wild life.

[@robnieth4190]

Stumbled on your KZbin channel while following Today’s Angler. Very addicted to watching them. It’s more than just watching someone fish. I enjoy watching the tactics you use for each species. You are an ethical fisherman that everyone should respect.

[@shanegarber8030]

Thanks Chris for caring so much about the resources!

[@my71chevro1et]

You can use a hitch hiker / spring lock screwed into the big senko, then pass your hook through it. Supreme day of fishing, Chris.

[@st.claireric4587]

Well done Chris and Thank you for pointing out the importance of releasing ALL of these fish we had a 9+ couple years ago and one just under 10 lbs last year in Northern Michigan.. It's imperative to let them go you can always get a Beautiful Replica Mount now days of your 5,6,7 +lber. So we can keep these fisheries World class. Thank You. Keep it Going your shows are definitely improving over the last year and your Love of fishing shows.. Nice Work..

[@2cthetruth]

Screw that...eat em.. They're delicious!

[@chiosaephan2898]

i use a ziptie instead of o-rings..works just as good...cheaper and adjust to any size senko.....trim off excess after tightening....$2/100??

[@angusjohnson8323]

dumb idea you lose so many bites from that

[@chiosaephan2898]

imo..works just ass good if not better than the o-ring...and ive caught as many fish as ive got them to bite on it.....you must not know how to fish that set up or setting it up wrong....🙃😕

[@angusjohnson8323]

i feel bad for you that you have to use a plastic zip tie instead of an o ring

[@chiosaephan2898]

dnt...easier to use and works better....holds better than the o-ring....and more durable......

[@newera_tb7294]

I just use little bands you get with braces. Haven’t snapped one yet🤷🏾‍♂️

[@aaronsysko9340]

I'm really liking these smallmouth videos.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Very well put man - for as much crap as we get for "exposing lakes" this is a great example of what a majority of us KZbinrs think about all the time that we put out videos - the balance of good content/b-roll while still protecting our lakes. Awesome video and great job catching all those TANK smallies!

[@grippinglipsfishing5671]

What type of lure was he using, I never heard him say in the video.

[@TheKirchart2]

It's a giant male! There she goes.....😂

[@samw.75]

Probably my favorite fresh water fish to catch , and you was tearing them up. Great video

[@brentricencfishing7711]

Dude your videos are always legit. i like you content and your videos are mostly fishing! keep up the good work!!

[@nickmandell9210]

Found out how much smallies love neon colors the other day, thanks for the tip!

[@tyc4718]

Great vids man! Love the respect for the fish and lakes, not everyone needs to know where you're at!

[@beaglehound27]

We have more than 5 great lakes up here, i like to think of them all as great, i have to say thanks for educating people on why catch and release is so important and for helping protect these lakes. i do know a couple of the spots you were at but my lips are sealed :)

[@SeriousAnglerBassFishing]

It's a dream of mine to get up and fish some of those lakes for trophies. We don't have many smallmouth majority lakes here in NY besides Cayuga and up in the Adirondacks. But our smallmouth by me have been on beds for a week now.

[@babeita1420]

Awesome videos! Learning alot! Great content. Keep em coming!

[@OhGeOw]

Idk if it was just me, but he said senko like 60 times, but besides that great content and one of the most under rated fishing channels out here

[@S1CKTR1CKY]

Absolutely love drop shotting. Probably my favorite technique

[@naturalstateangle7893]

Dude just started using the giant senkos because of MTB!!! Great stuff was really surprised how well they worked!! Nice video!!

[@Anthony-rq2sm]

Nice fish Chris. Great content.

[@person4211]

fishing for walleye last weekend, full moon this week which made the bass go crazy stopped counting after 10 solid 3-4 pnders, wader fishing is where its at dont need a fancy boat

[@timsoaja8876]

great job kid nice video, nice day of fishing and that's what its all about

[@lojofishing]

that giant senko is legit

[@trevorc.4791]

His senko was still in his net when he said it spit it

[@Nick_Hunter2]

I definitely agree with you on respecting the fisheries man. We come to you for advice on catching them, we can find our own lakes :)

[@lylelukas7949]

How come you're not using a recessed trolling motor tray??

[@cullenblair3320]

Good stuff man. Keep it coming.

[@huntercroak2643]

7" senko is my favorite bait to pitch to cover. if Texas rigged it will fall/glide backwards. great for dock fishing.

[@claytonpalmer4325]

Hunter Croak that sucks bro

[@MrPaulluma]

Im from N. Michigan and love SM fishing too. I have caught many many of smallies, like tons.

[@bassaccoutant8131]

I love pressured lakes come one come all I adjust cause I'm a fisherman. All u tubers like our friend here like too shoot videos tell you what they use so now u told and showed how to pressure bass. Good I have a lure for any lake OLD SCHOOL WITH A TWIST. Adapt overcome and think be original

[@swissmochaj]

thanks for keeping the lakes on the DL. Since its now catch and keep season and they are still on beds some rejects would keep spawning females. But I am very curious. I grew up fishing a certain Antrim county lake. Are you in Antrim county?

[@suburbanbackwoodsentertain4060]

great catch's man. awesome footage stick it out and the work will definitely pay off for ya man. Keep fishing brotha

[@zackn1286]

Look at 5:05 you can see the senko in the net I think. Am I wrong? Or is that a senko?

[@jokrazy2002]

how deep was water you were fishing

[@claytonpalmer4325]

Jimmy Aleman my guess would be anywhere from 6-12 feet

[@Bran-don3]

your almost at 50k buddy congrats that's awesome

[@stevemiller5202]

I'm looking for a new rod for walleye. I'm not sure what to get any suggestions?

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I really like the St Croix legend Xtremes....there are pricey but the are light and very durable plus comes with a lifetime warranty on the rod! They come in many sizes but I like the 7 foot medium. Should work good for jigging those eyes up!

[@stevemiller5202]

SmallmouthCrush ok thanks I'll go check them out

[@river2woods845]

Zipties work well with keeping senkos on

[@teamazfishingcharlesmartin1012]

if you don't have o rings our run out use some braid or some line and just triple rap it helps

[@hunterdemmon3916]

Great content Chris. Really enjoy watching your videos! Wondering, how did you get such a nice boat being only maybe 20?

[@TheBiggerDavo]

I hit the like because the moment of rage after losing that senko. Subbed!

[@brianamado4366]

Whats your spinning rod and reel setup for bed fishing?

[@LTDcyclone]

Thank you for not giving our Michigan lake the publicity Chris it's very much appreciated there is already enough people on the water as it is let alone if it got a big rep for the giant smallies we catch here in Michigan. You almost had a master angler fish there o believe it's 21" for a smallie

[@caseycobbs5591]

What is the best bed fishing bait

[@SmallmouthCrush]

I love the Spirit Shad made by Gajo Baits rigged on a drop shot! One of my favorite baits for smallies on beds!

[@chiosaephan2898]

whats with the water bottle in the net?..keeps the net stretched out when in water??

[@danielhenley1818]

Quality stuff bro keep it up 🤙

[@PeterAgostiniJdcap26]

Fun video, we all wish we out there 🎣👍🏻🇺🇸

[@zachreinke5027]

Are you using a phluger supreme ?

[@georgem.858]

What type of worms are those and where do u get tnem

[@dragsmoothfishingtv635]

Love the Channel Bro, I love watching all your videos, your an awesome humble and intelligent dude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@te_snagz8583]

where do u get the senko form

[@adriang9071]

Good vid. You need a O ring on the worm and tighten that drag a bit !! Keep to up good fishing vids !!

[@DTFilmzz]

you should have atleast 100k subs , great content!!

[@tracetenhalley7251]

Hey man! What reel was that?

[@masonayres8341]

Chris what lake are you at?

[@krospbrothersfishing6065]

great vids brother keep it up👍👊

[@BUGWEZZY]

Bro, O-rings. Put an O-ring on these damn senkos and you will not lose them like that. You hook the fist it slides up the line. And you re use it. Works wonders.

[@brendanc2675]

awesome video man

[@IntrepidFisherman]

haha... the people with the comments about the drag... Great work dude seems like you know how to catch them so just keep doing what you're doing ....

[@Big35gonnaup]

hey chris what reel is that

[@SellsZac]

I fished the rivers/creeks in central Ohio for 15 years after smallmouth, caught 100+ fish i nbetween 15-19.5" but could never break that 20" barrier. Went up to St Clair for 3 days, broke 20" 3 times. Its downright shocking what those fisheries can produce.

[@hunterguy4630]

Who are those senkos by?

[@claytonpalmer4325]

hunter guy Jacal but it's spelled differently lol😂

[@fishingwithseth4030]

What lake you fishing in?

[@lupeatx]

Got 'Em coach!!!

[@squirrelslayincountry9351]

do u fish with baitcasters

[@kiwibruh7447]

respect them water ways boyyyy

[@quadewatson7890]

I have these they are way bigger than you think how do you fish them

[@quadewatson7890]

But mine are Gary yamamoto

[@Andrew-pw2ol]

How many times did you say Senko in this vid? After like 4 minutes I wanted to jump face first into my prop. Good vid though.

[@njeddie4488]

It may be counter-intuitive, but if you can use a larger-gauge hook you might find you need fewer worms. If you are using o-rings, try using two.

[@samlindblom6579]

what rod r u using?

[@royroth5310]

GREAT VIDEO !!! - WHAT CITY IN MICHIGAN DO YOU LIVE ? - I'M IN WATERFORD

[@RenegadeClock]

How many times can you say "senko"?

[@floattubefishingontario3645]

All you need is a little piece of Senko, expensive Try Moss Boss along the top of the lilies. Keep on Floating

[@tylerkelley9906]

At 5:05 he says that the fish spit the senior again when it’s clearly in the net

[@elifaber40]

anyone who says tighten your drag has never broken off a big smallie on light line

[@slonefactor]

Why didn't you rig them Texas style?

[@richard3854]

What's the name of the bait he's fishing?

[@ekybassin449]

Damn I love smallies

[@coryklein84]

Where can i get those fat senkos? Link please

[@b.s.fishing5902]

hot spotting is probably the biggest "issue" for fisherman on social media/forums these days. 1 poorly timed post or video can ruin a small body of water...bigger lakes can take a lot more pressure. some people have stopped posting on forums or just posted a week or two after their trip so that the conditions will have changed.some people still just don't get it until their "secret spot" gets hit.

[@mr.personality7762]

88%sure to know the name of this one, beautiful if I'm right Chris. see any eagles?

[@bonztherumy]

What were you fishing with again? We didn't hear u. Gotta say it more

[@timsoaja8876]

he has a point don't be worried about where he's fishing be more worried about where your fishing

[@jeffzabriskie9689]

how senko many senko times senko does senko he senko say senko senko

[@tyhurney9332]

You didn't have 1 senko left I saw it in the ner

[@tylervanplew9924]

Where's the flood??

[@lukeh9650]

You had a big senko stuck in the net still

[@mitchmcm1]

Are you using 2lb? Or is your drag broken? I cant tell.......

[@claytonpalmer4325]

mitch mcmaster his drag is fine

[@claytonpalmer4325]

mitch mcmaster there is no reason to horse these smallies in

[@mitchmcm1]

Its fine if you love wind knots from twisting your line when winding on zero drag.

[@mitchmcm1]

Also wildly inefficient

[@jeepernj99]

Setting your drag is personal preference.............

[@northcarolinabassin7643]

5.06 I see the senko in your net!

[@iunickkp1243]

Damn, I would ,I've to fish with you

[@sinsofvorador]

I know you probably didnt have any with you. but try srink tubing on them the next time you use them.

[@brucecook8624]

You should join the googan squad

[@elboregojhb]

Need an O-ring

[@gatekeepersword]

try a small rubbeer band

[@punchfukker3383]

Chris, when you're out of o-rings, five tight wraps of black electrical tape and put the hook you're wacky-rigging through it like how you'd wacky rig without o-rings, this will help extend the life of each soft plastic you use.

[@Silent.Lee10]

Texas Rig👍👌

[@effyoo6081]

how many senkos can a senko senko, when senkoing senkos, down on the senko river. senko!

[@slonefactor]

Use a 5/0 or 6/0 ewg hook
