Fishing Planet | Ep 29 | Make Money Catching Northern Pike | St Croix , Michigan | Gameplay Tips

[@jakesolis2423]

Caught a 35lb Unique Northern Pike today! Couldn't have done it without your tutorial! Thanks Alot!

[@JVDigital1979]

Awesome, glad to hear it and congrats on that Unique Pike!

[@SmaugsInferno]

Just recently got into this game, and your tutorials have helped me so much! From farming the spotted bass in Texas on casting spoons, to landing my first unique in Oregon, a 7 pound rainbow trout, these tutorials are awesome. I’ve finally made it to Michigan! Here’s to me landing a big unique pike, thanks so much Jake! Edit: I succeeded! On shiners with a 10/0 hook, I fought and landed a enormous 42 pound unique northern pike!

[@jobruce8520]

Great video, Jake!! Love catching Pike around that area. Keep up the great work!!

[@JVDigital1979]

Definitely a great spot!

[@yancey3127]

Just got in this game last month and im hooked. Me and 3 friends play everyday.. Thanks for the help

[@JVDigital1979]

cool, Yancey. Its a fun free game!

[@BuzzworthyMedia]

Didn't know about the frog. I have to say, once you get the Golum lure, it's like crack for pike.

[@SkilfulDTS1]

Nice job on the vid and uni jake, it was a fun time fishing and cant wait till i see you again on there.

[@r.d.barber6786]

Brother I was having so much fun fishing with you fellas that I did not realize you are now in the lvl 40 club! Congrats my friend👍 As always I thoroughly enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Keep'em flowing bro😊

[@JVDigital1979]

Yup, finally up there with you big dogs! Had a great time fishing with you all as well, look forward to doing it again!

[@CammoNisse]

Really good free game

[@JVDigital1979]

I agree

[@esco5593]

It's almost too good to be true that it's free

[@MissX905]

Get the heavy rod setup it's only $6.99 at Playstation store. It's worth the money I think

[@siglematic3092]

@@MissX905 it is

[@alexgamingtv5711]

Hey Jake do you record these videos with live commentary or talk over the video after recording

[@JVDigital1979]

I record commentary while playing. Occasionally I'll cut commentary or add commentary during the editing process.

[@joshbyers9394]

A bit late on the vid, but I just caught a 36 lb. trophy pike at that location. Thanks for the help!!

[@staceybailey8163]

I've caught a forty pound unique pike on that exact crankbait setup

[@wikusvandyk8784]

Nice vid Jake. Glad to see you finally went to Michigan :-) Your money problems are over now. Is there specific reason you use your top-water lures at 2 speed ? 2 Speed always feels to fast for me on top water

[@JVDigital1979]

thanks Wikus, good to finally be here. I reel at 2 because of line slack. I twitch my topwaters, causing lineslack, and thats when I usually get hits. Slack in the line makes it difficult to set the hook. Reel speed of 2 helps me pick the slack up quicker.

[@wikusvandyk8784]

Cool , I'll give the 2 speed a go on top water. I get a lot of miss hits on them

[@rickybadazz12]

I feel it's kind of an expensive trip 10k to travel for the 1st day and 8k licenses only having 154lbs fish net you gotta spend time out here

[@shanemcarthur763]

Hey great video i am fishing there now . Could you help me figure outhow to use crankbait i have searched everywhere for how to videos cant find anything

[@JVDigital1979]

Crank baits I usually cast out and retrieve at a reel speed of 1. sometimes I'l stop and let it float to the top, then continue to reel it back in, at a steady retrieve, of 1.

[@shanemcarthur763]

Thanks so much felt stupid asking lol i have now cought alot of fish useing crankbait thanks again

[@woodhippietheoldmangamer8048]

Just watched your video went to your spot 11:55 am game time got me a unique that’s for the guides

[@rigoalbertoguerrero2033]

Did the p/lb get nerfed?

[@nightfox3057]

Congratulations on level 40 😉😉

[@JVDigital1979]

Thank you, Dave!

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

looks fun but i dont think my tackle is ready to go there. i can barely land ghost pike at emerald lake.

[@alexgamingtv5711]

I brought 100 shiners with me when I came lol

[@juicebox2525]

The frog is great fishing for pike..my name is ju1ce82 on FP...shoutout.i posted first than saw you was using the frog lol

[@JVDigital1979]

Yeah, the frog works very well for the pike on Michigan.

[@DienekesShade]

Hello. I got many strikes on topwater, but in Michigan my hook up ratio plunged from approx. 90% (Everglades) to 10%. I can imagine, some of those hits are from perch as they are to small for frogs (I did catch some trophy Yellow Perch on them, but still). Would you care to tell me when or how you set the hook on this lake? After 140 hours in-game and thousands of fish it seems fish here take me to the school 🤣

[@andrewlarose851]

Love this spot already. My first pike was a unique 33.4 using a silver crank 6ft #5/0

[@erickort1987]

i use skelehand rod and ghost 5000 reel,25 lb line..its a matched setup,it works ok for pike at michigan

[@damname101]

3/4 oz 3/0 casting spoons, 1oz 5/0 buzzbait, poppers, jerkbait any color, crankbait green 8ft costs coins....all work for pike and muskie here if you were like me and got here early by way of purchasing a boat pack. bought the metalhead or metal something pack for $25, came with a 20lb se pole, 20lb fluro and some cranks and jerkbaits, boat and other goodies like a pass for michigan. i was power leveling here after the purchase. gained like 4 levels super fast and tons of cash.

[@MissX905]

Hmm so far not making much money 1st day see what the 2nd day brings. I did catch a Trophy Clear Muskie it paid 1,617 or 1, 716 in money. Other fish not paying much right now. I'm using a crankbait as well not as big as the 1 your using tho. That looked too big I thought. But the game has had so many updates :(. Maybe the trophy and Unique fish aren't as plentiful. Love the game I broke down and bought the heavy setup to come to Michigan. Now for a Trophy Blue Catfish lol. Thanks this video helped.

[@EngageMk8]

Hi Jake! Do you have a business email I can reach you on?

[@JVDigital1979]

Hi there, Engage Tutorials. Yes I do have a business email you can reach me at. If you'd like to send me a message through my facebook page...I can provide it to you there :) facebook.com/JakeVegasDigital/

[@UFOsExst]

Did they fix the game? Last time i played it was almost impossible to land a fish.

[@JVDigital1979]

I honestly never experienced it being broken. What system are you on?

[@2STEEZY]

Line leader length?

[@JVDigital1979]

I specify the leader length in the video

[@garwashma1426]

is it okay to go for michigan if im still level 30 ?

[@JVDigital1979]

If you have the right equipment, sure. I'd make sure you have a rod and reel that can handle the big pike, muskie, and blue catfish in there, as well as a large enough keepnet to make a profit there. I would recommend having the fish castle 440 lb keepnet before going to Michigan.

[@garwashma1426]

you are level 40 since the beginning of this video this is the first time i know you can hit it more than 1 time im lvl 30

[@JVDigital1979]

After level 40, you can "rank".

[@mr.a8716]

I'm almost level 30 and thinking about going there. Any tips?

[@JVDigital1979]

Fish Pike for money and bring plenty of shiners with you. Shiners aren't sold at the lake's shop.

[@MissX905]

Have the Heavy Rod setup, the fish can get big here and they fight lol

[@eddiebarone7213]

You’re awesome 😎

[@HawkGuy9]

Just got to level 30 now grinding for money for me setup and travel cost I’ll be goated

[@cavebean4563]

Jake using that dlc setup as well as the Brutus setup is overkill for catching trophy and unique northern pike. Use your fenix 14'10" coupled with a Lineglider 4000. Both are rated at 22lbs and combined with 20lb floro line its an almost unstoppable combo. I just caught a 40lb unique northern pike 10 min ago using that setup. Ditch the fatboy slim and get a Lineglider 4000. You wont regret it. Cheers Bro

[@JVDigital1979]

It's not overkill when its the only equipment you have and can afford lol. The Fenix broke in one of my streams. I already have the lineglider on the brutus. Good lookin' out though.

[@RustyShacklefardd]

Is it just me or is st croix broken? You either catch pike or you sit there for 45 minutes and nothing. Like I don’t understand. Literally any other map I get bites every 3-5 minutes.

[@mathughsyoutubeworld2655]

We just the big Muskie lures line wire leaders trolling motor boats to be fully added big X heavy Muskie rods big heavy Muskie reels lake Saint Clair and big Muskie hooks and biiiiiig live suckers and shad and pickerel and eels

[@sammybianconi1678]

Use the biggest walker u have, I have cought so many trophy and bigger pike

[@witwolvin]

I haven't fished there yet, I'm going to have to splurge and try it.

[@JVDigital1979]

It is well worth splurging lol. ST Croix is a great spot to make money!

[@dysfunkionaloreo]

Can you please do muskie

[@14k_reaper44]

Everytime he takes something of over 6lb I feel like a sh!t in the ground

[@metalheadgamez6548]

Same!

[@Marvin_mole62]

TY, Just come back to FP from a long break due to heath issues cheers for the Info looking to Fish at Michigan any good tips would be grateful someone told me you can fish for Walleye on Leeches ! doono if my spot work anymore will have to see_ Ace youtube TY Marv

[@JVDigital1979]

Thank you. I mainly fished Pike and Blue Catfish in Michigan, but I do have a walleye video for there too.

[@xladez2.015]

Second like

[@JVDigital1979]

Thank ya, buddy!

[@riverrat3101]

i know it's 2 years later, but i had to ask you something. do you walk up on other fishermen in real life and cast right over their lines, like a complete asshole? or do you only do it on these online fishing games? just wondering.

[@danielcaruza7794]

in this game the lines don't touch other lines, so no problem

[@scottbruce2297]

And another year later and I feel compelled to point out that due to your ability in this game to change the time... the fact that it appears that you are standing next to someone and casting were they are means nothing... They could be fishing at 2 AM on Tuesday (day two) while you're fishing at 4 pm Friday (day 5). So it really doesn't matter that you're casting in the same spot because he's only an image of someone who was there three days ago...

[@jojojitsgames8576]

this is someones else footage

[@JVDigital1979]

This is NOT someone elses footage. This is my footage.
