Am I early enough to get a response? Even if not, thanks for being awesome. I don't even watch regular TV any more. All I ever want to watch is LunkersTV, Scott Martin, and most of all LFG. You've even inspired me to make my own channel that's still in infancy. Thanks again x 100 for all the hard work you put in the videos and channel.

[@LakeForkGuy]

+WeagleFishing comments like that make me want to get better, thank you

[@weaglefishing19]

Drifting Pirate Gaming ha me too and loving it I was off bass fishing for 2 years now it's all I want to do

[@mulldrifterz6469]

I lost it when you hugged the Smallmouth and kissed it lol. I am in tears!

[@liamaaronduran]

Mulldrifter Z 😂😂me too

[@Joshbrodnan]

Mulldrifter Z same

[@1cody2williamson3]

Good job, LFG, you scarred that Smallie for life. It's gonna have PTSD flashbacks of the time it went to eat a rat and a weirdo giant sniffed, hugged, and kissed it.

[@nannerhammock1692]

"you're so naughty when your gettin caught" you really do love fish.

[@daltonv5206]

Nice Pike!! A lot of people think they're a nuisance...I think they're a bonus!

[@jakep7018]

LordDarkHelmet The big ones fight hard! Everything smaller/average I feel some fight and some don't

[@ThePulzeGamer]

There best fish you can catch if you ask me they eat all other fish and top of the food chain and fight the best

[@tokiwartooth2661]

It's weird a lot of people love fishing for them but those same people get annoyed af when they catch them while fishing for other species

[@KFieLdGaming]

Man this brings back memories. I used to have a relative that lived on this little private lake near the NY/Vermont border. It had loads of Pike in it. Not giants by any means. I think the biggest we caught was 36 inches or so, but we had them all to ourselves. We used to throw those SnagProof Boss Rat and Moss Mouse lures religiously, and the pike went nuts for them in the summer time. So many crazy blow ups. I was barely a teenager and that's what got me hooked on fishing for life. The blow ups were so crazy, I can still remember them all these years later like it happened yesterday. We went through packs of those baits one after the other, pike would tear the crap out of them. We'd fish them above submerged grass that came up to about a foot below the surface. The pike would dart out and blow up violently. Most violent blow ups I've ever experienced. I still throw a white moss mouse from time to time for bass. Not too many pike in the lakes I fish now. Loads of their smaller brother chain pickerels though.

[@fshn76]

Love the part of you hugging that huge smallie. My side is hurting from laughing so hard

[@sidley1234]

lol! Justin! love the Canadian accent ! I'm from Saskatchewan and grew up in Alberta but live in Silsbee texas now. you put on a good accent miss fishing the Canadian lakes.

[@fishingwiththad681]

The big reason I fish for pike is because it is just like bass fishing. They fight like crazy! Love this video!

[@lojofishing]

Those mouse lures are legit!!!!

[@therivergoat]

Happy to stumble across this one, man! My PB northern was caught up there on the Canadian side. 47” gator. I was working as a summer camp counselor in Minnesota and the camp ran multi day trips up to a property they owned up there. One of the best summers of fishing I have ever had (and I grew up fishing the Shenandoah and lived in AK for 7 years). One camper hooked up with a musky that was probably flirting with 60” and it thrashed and swam off with the spoon after pulling the snap straight on the leader. We retied and the same kid picked up a 28” walleye shaped like a football. INCREDIBLE fishery. 🙌🏻

[@sstig13]

Lol hugging that smallmouth had me in tears.

[@jonk.4384]

LFG, you're truly an admirable guy and I look up to you a lot as an angler. You have the best YT fishing channel, by far IMO. Look forward to your future content and I hope you have a great Fourth of July!

[@dandamanh]

Hahaha when he sniffs every smallie. Never gets old. Makes me laugh every time.

[@ArmamentAxes]

a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work. the Winston smally comparison made me laugh , Winston is a laid back dog

[@stormswarning]

LFG! Amazing Trip man, keep up the awesome vids!

[@joez1589]

Canadian impressions spot on! Ya’all come back soon ya hear!

[@chazzthaspazz4475]

HE SAID I LOVE THE WAY HE SMELLS LMAAOOO

[@DSugarB]

I love how these fish just get pulled out of their homes to get held by a giant monster. The monster proceeds to smile at the fish, kiss them , smell them and throw them back to go home to tell their families what just happened

[@mxr20000000000]

Smallmouth! Thanks to you and the pod cast we have been working the damn at Texoma trying to get my first.

[@kms2628]

Hahahaha, Justin hugging the brown fish had me laughing my ass off

[@jphillips4371]

Out of all the fishing youtubers LFG is by fair my favorites and Scott Martin

[@gregstacy693]

looks like a great time in Canada. what a fishery

[@chrisschaub5178]

Those are some monster smallmouth..awesome to watch..keep em coming

[@tylerr.3209]

dude when you said " whoo these flys" I literally laughed till I cried rewound it like 50 times that was to perfect smashed the like button

[@patscnr]

Catching pike is an awesome experience. My PB was 14lbs. I really enjoy your vids. Keep cranking them out brother. We have a lot of big rivers and lakes here in southern Michigan and a lot of pike.

[@larrystolzman3231]

Great video! Great fishing! Great fun! If I fished in Canada I'd try all three and add Muskies too. Thanks for sharing! God Bless!

[@mikesanchezgsxr]

LOL @ hugging the fish

[@iann6936]

Watching from Hawaii never caught a bass or pike not sure if Ive caught a fresh water fish. absolutely love your show Aloha, LFG

[@benabraham8503]

If you only have ever fished in Hawaii then you definitely never caught a freshwater. Probably only salt or hybrid there. Salt water is always fun though!

[@mrgonzoism]

dude, you're fricken hilarious!! official first time I've seen an angler embrace a small mouth. Awesome! 😄

[@tim1309]

LOL!! @ That moment you had with that big ole Smally! Oh, man you had me dead, LOL! that hug

[@darrellsanbornjr2088]

Nice pike LFG! My favorite trophy fish to go after.

[@TeleostFishingTV]

Giant smallies on the 3D Rat - I love it! Great work!

[@philcarr7015]

Another fantastic video from the LFG Man! I think I would target Smallies and hope to catch some Walleyes for lunch. That would be a win win!

[@ryankimler1428]

You and your wife are awesome. You both do a great job. I would go for Pike that looks fun!!😁

[@mksouthon9508]

While everybody else is doing "challenges" trying to just catch one fish on these lures, LFGs over just crushing them

[@daltontalbot2201]

keep up the great work LFG and btw nice pike! 👍👍

[@BillsCatch22]

I really dug this series, keep it up!👍

[@Scrobner]

I like to target the species that is currently biting. Works every time. Great video!

[@chaseherbst3605]

I think you'd enjoy fishing in a belly boat / float tube that would make for an awesome video! Keep up the great work too!

[@fishinginthecity2375]

They luv that mouse ,huh? its that neon tail and the action!

[@evanschenk8209]

Finally somebody gets that smallmouth fishing is a better fight than largemouth

[@owendarienzo8605]

I like how as soon he hooks a northern pike he starts talking like he's from the north

[@justinbethel2933]

whats the knob u keep turning on the yakk? ?????

[@LakeForkGuy]

Steering handle

[@nickcastillo1542]

I never knew that you could throw those rats in that kind of chop. I learned something today. Thank you sir.👍🎣👊

[@Im_Chimi]

hey man , I just want to say keep up the great job I'm a 20year old angler and I love your videos I hope one day you can come by Alabama and fish with me.

[@92xl]

Daredevil, red and white or yellow with red diamonds for pike!

[@trottski4891]

92xl for sure caught hundreds of pikes on a dare devil

[@1TheLord1]

Red/White 3/4oz is my fav. Great lure

[@cheesmbrosproduction]

you dont need all this fancy gadgetry just get a five a diamonds bud

[@pgrieves]

Spoons are classic. Husky Jerk is one of my go to baits too!

[@jakep7018]

Chatterbaits are great too

[@lukeplacher2888]

Canadian Matt Ryan is a pretty funny thing to see😂😂😂😂😂

[@brucej.4074]

Nice Pike LFG. Fun aren't they? :)

[@garrettbezdek3945]

The shot of landing the smallie with a eagle/hawk overhead was epic 👌🏻 and all fish love a zoom horny toad largemouth smallmouth pike and a friend of mine actually caught a mondo bluegill on one

[@jamesconlon6664]

Smallmouth all the way. Great videos.

[@theurbanbreacher5409]

gotta get on those bullfrog catch and cooks with OSG!!!!

[@Grayman_WWJD]

🔥🤣 qiut hugging the fish LFG............ Crazy ass 🤣🔥

[@ng_fishing7703]

I was up in Ontario in early June and I really enjoyed the Pike more than I thought I would. The group I was with was constantly targeting Walleye, but being a bass guy and used to making a lot of casts I found that boring pretty quick. I thought I was going to be all about the smallies, but next time I am up there I plan to split my time going for the toothy boys and bronzebacks. Also, I used a larger BBZ rat up there on my last day and was able to call a couple pike up in stained water in those same sized waves. I lost 2 different trebles + their split rings from ~20" Pike, they are vicious.

[@fishermandadjimmy]

lakeforkguy is the best!

[@richgebhardt7960]

"I mean what am I gonna do complain here?" lol I wouldn't!

[@fishingwiththad681]

I fish for both! Walleye mainly for dinner though. The pike are awesome to catch!

[@robertruckes5728]

If I were to go up there for only one type I'd have to say the Northern Pike due to the fact I can catch small mouth down here in Tejas. Love the videos LFG keep em coming.

[@LakeForkGuy]

THanks

[@kylerutt4013]

I have yet to catch a pike, that is one of my goals! BUT, I don't think I could resist targeting the Canadian smallies! I'll get up there one of these days. Great vid. thanks

[@zackpamperin5546]

I wonder what that smallmouth bass was thinking when u sniffed him and then hugged him🤣

[@JB-be7yr]

Launch fee at my home lake....Lake Berryessa, Napa County CA. is $20 off season, $25 high season. A very deep lake with more shoreline than Lake Tahoe. Everything here is ridiculously expensive!

[@KnarBurger]

props on handling those pike in the yak especially how slimy they are. they get crazy in the boat cant count how many times i have been less than an inch from getting a treble to the hand when they freak out after looking calm. you should really try and do some musky fishing if you can but if not pike fishing is definately where its it because you will be getting big pike and the giant smallmouth will a lot of big pike lures especially jerkbaits and swimbaits.

[@gagethedarkrailfan7417]

I LOVE PIKE, SMALLMOUTH BASS, AND WALLEYE!!!!!!!!!!

[@dinoharrison5138]

Justin, at (8:05) those little ducks swimming so peacefully, I once saw a pike or muskie take one right off the top of the water. Quite a sight. If I were to go up there, I would be taking my wife and we would target: #1 - Me: Muskie, just keeper size so I can get it mounted. Her: Smallie #2 - Me: Walleye, good eats. Her: Smallie AND #3 - Me: Smallie as they put up a decent fight AND they also taste good. Her: Smallie. Any way I go, I am blessed as I have her with me!! :) God Bless Dude and have a Happy and SAFE 4th of July.

[@ekybassin449]

When you said naughty I automatically thought of Tommy Boy lol

[@hrs4me30]

I go to Canada yearly.... you should try targeting Lake Trout next year.... so fun!

[@jakeorr23]

Alot of people don't know this but we have huge Pike in Nebraska, we have big smallmouth and big northern strain bass. I've caught a 8lb, 2 7lbers, and a bunch or 5 and 6.

[@TheFishCatcher]

always great videos and informative

[@getschwifty8449]

Stop cheating on OSG with that smallmouth. LOL

[@brandonhorn9042]

I'm from Alabama been fishing for 20yrs mainly bass fishing an I love it nothin better then bass an were I'm from I've called thousands of large mouth an spotted bass an don't get me wrong I love catching them could do it every day an be happy but I've just always wanted to catch a beautiful dark brown an bronze small mouth an feel the fight just one of my bucket list things maybe I will one day

[@joshuamalbeuf6383]

I grew up in Saskatoon and died when you said that😂

[@aceman10]

Keep it up with the epic videos! Great vid!

[@douglasjohnson5131]

Please do more Canada blogs that was awesome I would fish for smallies

[@danielconway9805]

Justin I love how much passion you have for fishing I have it as well thank you for such good content keep up the good work cuz I know the Texas fishing stuff right now I'm in Southeast Texas and the bite is slow. I am a fishing freak all the way!

[@brandonmatz9832]

them smallies are vicious fish...love em they are one of the most strongest fighting fish....just like you said tough like a bulldog.

[@RubencitoTX]

Your my favorite angler!!🎣 Were both from good ol Texas!🤙🏼

[@Noojtxeeg]

LOL targeted smallie, got pike. Targeted pike got smallie.

[@402bone]

Used to fish Northwest Ontario every year growing up. That's a beauty right there. Hard to guess off a video but he looks 40+ easy

[@jeremym8901]

That's why I always have my rubber net on the kayak with me. Those pike are tough to land!

[@JohnSattoCH]

love It! non stop action man

[@russfoor2111]

Great Vid, Glad You got to catch a big pike! but I didn"t see you take a whiff of it! afraid he will bite your nose? lol

[@LamboSzn]

Love your videos man

[@doctoredable]

Thanks for posting this great video. Some of the best small mouth fishing I have seen! What creates the current in that lake? Did the Pike at 17:23 get attacked by another pike?

[@ChorusArtists]

LMAO! First time I ever saw anyone hug a smallie. Well deserving though, that was a real slab.

[@notsure8327]

Love a good ol tube. Still a top 5 confidence bait for me despite how they’ve fallen out of style.

[@blackwaterkayakanglersadve2685]

Great video on the yak

[@Washman-jw3hl]

Man Fork I would love to target the small mouths up there cause we don't seem to have any truly large ones in Connecticut where I'm from save for a few in the CT river. But a large Pike would be a nice experience. That Possum lodge sounds like a nice stay! great video. I'm a new subscriber. Sorry it took so long. lol.

[@JBird401]

Candlewood Lake has huge smallmouth and its a beautiful lake. I fished a 2day tourney there once and i didn't want to come back to Rhode Island

[@indigo9162]

"look at the girth. LOOK at the GIRTH. MMMMMM"

[@nepaoutdoors8536]

Im about to fo a trip like this into ontario canada catching smallies, largemouth, pike and walleye-this vid is gonna help👍

[@eddieman3702]

Cool video, if I could only fish one I'd fish for walleye for that walleye lunch...........then smallmouth.

[@96HankTheTank]

i caught a 17,1lb pike on my UL rod while i was perch fishing, it was so fun!

[@jc8958]

Please do some more pike fishing!!!

[@Anom711]

Whats that little black bracket type thingy above your reel? Ive seen it on most of your poles is it to hold a bite indicator or something?

[@mememert2868]

Speaking of fish hitting baits too big for them, I got a pretty little crappie hit a flicker shad

[@311courtm]

I would go after lake trout. So much fun to catch!

[@jonathonmccunnm5415]

Spinner bait they love those

[@dawsoncoates]

What weight jig head for the tube and how big of a tube is that, I'm trying to catch some fish on a tube.
