Clayton does it over and over again. Amazing fish man!! Killer content. Love this channel! Love the sharp shooting!! 🤩

[@mitchellrusten3726]

Your laker videos are my favorite on yt. Always feels like such a blessing when I get a notification a new one went live.

[@colleen477]

Have to tell you my 8 year old just loves your videos! He’s learning so much. Thank you for not using bad language we appreciate that SO much! Thank you for your hard work! Great catch!

[@ryderhrubeniuk9815]

Great to see you back Clayton. Hope you are enjoying your last bit of the summer hammering some fish!

[@MrHarryson1985]

Glad to see you back buddy! I mean, I like watching Jay Siemens catch small fish and everything but CSO just does it bigger! Looking forward to the next one, good luck out there!

Man I've missed the laker video. As always very informative and big fish. Keep it up my guy. I keep applying your knowledge here in the states. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But definitely has helped me catch more fish.

Another beauty! Have to say I missed those. Fully agree on the time comments. Once you realize it just takes you can start to really hone in the skills.

[@tuiflies5869]

Great vid! Just managed to catch my new PB yesterday. 35.5” on an Acme V-Rod. It’s my new favourite lure for jigging lakers. 3/4oz so it sinks fast and the vibration really seems to wind them up!

[@hockeyguy533]

What's more effective for Lakers around July, jigging or trolling?

[@esoxenvy3112]

Great video, beautiful fish. Learned a lot by watching, very informative. Great electronics, SO COOL! I have to say the water temp for early August is so much cooler where you are compared to where I was fishing for Lakers at the same time, so guess you're way north. I was in the Lake Huron-Manitoulin Island, Ontario area and the surface temp was around 70 in early August, so the fish were a lot deeper. I pretty much trolled with a downrigger using spoons the whole time, but love your sharp shooting jig technique. Also thanks for releasing those nice fish, so many guys I know keep all the Lakers they legally can (released all mine as well). Such a slow growing, long lived fish that doesn't replace their population very fast if over harvested. Just love catching them for the sport of it. Some fishermen try telling my I shouldn't release ANY Lakers caught from deep water as they're too stressed to survive, but think this is just an excuse to keep all their fish. Keep up the great work.

What size rod you using here? Action?

[@darkzak47]

Clayton, the Fam and I are up here in West Grand Lake Maine trying to find these devils. Keep looking in 40-70 feet of water and while I see signals at that depth the don’t seem to have any interest in our tube jigs. Is there a specific time of day? We would love to catch ANYthing at this point. Legal size here this year is 1 fish per day and 18” or longer
