THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

[@ussweeneyd]

Thank you ! It’s so refreshing to see a video from a genuine expert. No $1,000 rods and reels, no bullshitting for sponsors. Just pure unvarnished “FISHING”.

[@michaelbee2165]

I waded into a Florida lake through the reeds, in early Spring, with my Dad when 11 years old and caught a fine 5 pounds or so big mouth bass. That fish is still on my wall because my Dad was the major fisherman. Got my picture in the paper and everything. We took the dog who hated water but launched himself into the reeds with us. Good boy! He grabbed that fish when I reeled it into the reeds and he didn't make a mark on that fish. That dog got a nice piece of fish and steak with his dinner that evening. Oh, he was a mixed breed Dalmation and Lab.

[@msb6630]

I loved this episode. I'm near 70 and, while fishing from a boat is one of life's greatest joys, bank fishing still brings the most happiness to that little boy inside of me. Much obliged.

[@adamhockgeiger9575]

The knowledge you have shared with us all has caught me multiple fish over the 40lb mark and I cannot thank you enough for your contribution to the fishing community. Not many old school folk are so willing to share secrets. I'm 24 and this is some of the stuff I'll be teaching my son has he grows up. You are a blessing and a legend. ~~Regards from Southern Indiana, Your's truly a bluecollar single Dad.

[@StandingGoatsRescue]

Nice cat! I cut up some shad into big chunks, put them in a coffee can, then pour a couple cups of olive oil on them and one half cup of minced garlic, then let it sit in the refrigerator for a couple days. It makes some amazing catfish bait...mostly catch channel cats and blues, but they're always big. Usually 25 to 40 pounds. Caught quite a few that were in the 60 pound range too. I reckon that the garlic smell is what turns em on...but not sure.

[@joegrande4848]

Indeed, brother, it sinks super slow. If you want to get soft plastic out a little further, a split shot will work. Long as it's not too heavy also, the soft plastic will still sink slow with a small or 2 small split shots. 😊

[@rodneyrussell8442]

Mr. Machine, a few words of advice, when big fish fishing like this video is showing. Please use a 10 or 12 foot long lanyard tied to the handle of your poles and then to the solid heavy anchor of your choice, this will save the loss of your equipment from being yanked or pulled into the water. This has saved my loss of many of rods and reels while bank fishing for big redfish.
