Fishing For Dinner! (Bizarre Hook Up)

There's some things in fishing I swear I never do, but this day I broke down. I still got dinner out of it, so it definitely wasn't the end of the world!

When using night crawlers we use a worm blower. Put a fine wire gold hook hooked once right in the middle of the crawler and blow up both ends and then add split shot how ever far you want them to float off the bottom. Walleye, trout, hybrids can't resist. Great vid and keep your powder dry young man 💪😎

Dear Spencer, you should work out a deal with whiskerseeker to build a slim profile rod like the catfishandcarp series but be able to throw up to 3oz weight in a spinning model. It should be the river certified model. I love my Chad Ferguson series ML but I feel the blank is a little too thick for small to medium channel cats. The light model catfishand carp is too light to throw 2 oz weights.

[@RiverCertified]

Shoot them an email man. They love feedback!

[@Skank_Hunt42]

@@RiverCertified I will do that asap!

[@daltonv5206]

That would be a solid rod. Good for carp too. I wanted to try the catfish and carp rod but I wanted a bit longer one

Hey man, I saw the gluten free flour and corn tortillas. Gluten free and wild game can be tricky. I like using a mix of GF flour corn meal and Idahoan instant potatoes. It makes a great flaky coating. Happy eating and fishing man! p.s., hot sauce really does fill in some of the cracks left behind by gluten free eating.

[@marktempleton346]

Hey Spenser don't worry about throwing your rod on the ground it's cleaner than the back of your truck. Hahaha What is it with guys in boats have to crowd bank fisherman ### holes. Cast right in their boat next time, I have. I never crowd anyone even if I'm in my boat and they are in a boat. It's called showing a person respect for you guys ( in case you are watching) that didn't learn it at home. Good video Spenser.

[@marktempleton346]

BTW I am the same way with the reel handles, always have been. I'm right handed but shoot everything left handed except a pistol. I'm left dominant eye is why so it came natural shooting that way. There are a lot of people that don't realize they are shooting with the wrong eye and should switch. If you can't follow a moving target with both eyes open when shooting you are probably shooting with the wrong sight picture with the wrong eye. Just an observation. ;-)
