MY FIRST FISHING POLE! Using Childhood Rod to Catch Fish

In today's fishing vlog I'm using one of my first fishing poles I ever had from my childhood. It's a 10 foot telescoping pole designed for catching brim but I attempt to catch white bass, largemouth and bluegill in the same fishing session.

I wish I could hear that motor in person, I get goosebumps every time you fire it up.

When I was about 4 or 5 (I am 73 now) My dad and my grandpa were going fishing and I wanted to go but dad said no. Grandpa said she can go and brought a cane pole so long he had to tie it on the roof of the car. I had so much fun and I loved to fish the rest of my life. I do not get to go anymore so I love watching you and others fish. You smell the fish I always kissed them and freaked people out. In Minnesota Crappies Bass and Sunnies are my favorite to eat and crappies the most fun to catch. Lived in Florida 10 years and had to buy a book to know what I was catching Sheepshead were fun. Thanks for the vicarious fun!

[@DeltaRogueFishing]

LAKE FORK GUY, keep the great videos coming! People like you have inspired me to create my own fishing channel. Keep doin what you do!

[@SpitingFire13]

I love your videos they always bring me such joy to watch. Even your older stuff that I went back and watched has really inspired me. So thank you LFG for simply being a fantastic fisherman, dad and human. My first rod was a push button. My dad and I decided to throw it away after it tangled so bad that I'm not sure some thermite would have fixed it. And that's how I learned to use a bait caster at 6 years old:)

[@dmitrijsivanovs4707]

Well, fisherman's language is universal... I used to fish on about identical pole in my childhood, catchin' some pearch, bream and rouch. Good videos man, best wishes from across the globe from a Latvian fishing freak!)

[@jethrobodine8563]

Closing in on a MILLION subs!! You deserve it bro.

[@jodygrigry7864]

I'd be happy with 1 sub 🤐

[@TheJonny2200]

Jody Grigry here then I’ll make you happy. subbed

[@lestergoodermote4584]

You're the best LFG. I've been trying to utilize your fishing tips, which I really appreciate. The first time using the football jig with a crack n craw I caught a 3 lb large mouth. Not to shabby for my neck of the woods. If you ever want to check out some fishing in Grafton, NY I would be happy to show you some spots.

Ready for the Bluegill Catch & Cook!

Scatter pattern is how I like to describe my fishing love life. One here, one there, but never schooling.

[@Song-fi4rg]

Great video, love that you can share those wonderful memories of you fishing with you first rod. I also love that the old rod is still relevant today. Some memories are forever. Your father and your mother look like real nice people. Looks like your a good father with a wonderful family, also.

[@vafishing8296]

That is talent catching bass on that thing. Freakin awesome man.

[@jet183]

I loved this video, brought back memories for me as well.

[@stevethepirate8907]

I have my first pole from when I was a kid. I just refurbished it a couple of months ago. It's a Wright & McGill square fiberglass rod with a Johnson push button reel. Took it out and caught some fish with it. Sure brought back some memories. Going to take it out again tonight on the Kayak.

[@weatherwatchTX]

Lets get this gentleman to 1 million!

[@grizzmexi768]

This video is awesome. I see your enjoyment and can only imagine the memories with that rod

[@robertwright3139]

Broke out my old zebco 33 spinning combo the other day. Greased it all up and got new line on it and then went bass hunting with that ultralight combo. Was a blast reliving the old days, thanks for the vid.

[@stevehogan8829]

Chickens hahahaha Lesser Canada Geese hahahaha...I don't think I've ever anticipated massive schools but there are only 2 times I caught fish untill I was tired... Once in the 60's on lake Texoma, Crappie,,, second time Dale Hollow, Stripers, or that's what we called them back in the 70's both times at night with a light.I was a kid the first time and had my own 2 kids by the second time. It's really cool that you have your old first rod. What a treasure. Thanks for sharing

[@cheezyridr]

man, you gotta be one of the luckiest guys on the face of the planet. you live the life every man wants to live. on top of it, your wife is lovely, and seems genuinely a good person. your daughter is adorable. you work at a job that on our end, seems to be the most fun you can have with your pants on. good for you, man. we cant all have that life, but you do, and you don't seem to be an asshole. that's as cool as it gets

[@rahnncreations7283]

I remember fishing in the creek with a cane pole when I was little, great memories.

[@DonxboyzfishingLouisvilleKY]

You talking about memories. That's what we're trying to accomplish with donxboyzfishing. My son and I while fishing is what memories are about. The memory I have of my dad is two 24 packs of Coronas. The Yankees game and him at the end of the night. Sitting i. The shower for hours hammered. All of you googans rock and help make memories with my kid. Killing it with googan baits.

[@marcusgarcia504]

seems to be more of a video remembering your dad, and I like that. I miss mine everyday, he taught me how to fish as well. I used his pole today to catch a 3.5 pounder. Felt great.

[@jasonschott4238]

Had the same kind of rod!! Loved it wish i still had for my kids!

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Googan Squad Pole Day on the new pontoon boat! Flair and Lojo would be all over this.

[@jeffreydonaldson4266]

My first fishing pole was a willow branch. I was about 8 yrs old the tree was at the edge of a cornfield and we would just go cut a branch and go fishing with my dad. Those were the good times with my dad.

[@jonpogue427]

Loved the lake life video

When I was very little my uncle always took us fishing and used cane poles. Good memories.

[@l.r.samons8590]

LSG I used to take a cane pole with the staging line and a bobber and hook and put the minerals are crawdads on it and catch 7lb grill on a cane pole like that one or just the regular long ones so they're a lot tougher than what you think they are buddy I'm 57 years old and I loved every minute if it's now them old Field Lakes in Arkansas congrats for you live in your memories

That's a good idea I've got a German split bamboo rod and I think it's 14` long.Thank You Jake Bissel.

[@kimdailey6881]

Think about placing elastic straps around your sonar units when they are covered. Negative air pressure behind your windshield will pull the cover off when traveling at highway speed. Trust me, I know. Great video as usual.

[@roygraham6665]

Nice pole for a starter pole. My 1st pole was a 6 ft. cane pole my dad had cut down hung up and dried.Ok i know thats a small pole but i was only about 4-5 yrs old then. Had a great time fishing with it. great vid bro.

The Glass Cactus at the Gaylord. Not a house but a night club.. Though its on par Grapevine/Southlake.

Yep, that's the Glass Cactus Club at the Gaylord. The Gaylord is a nice place to stay. King size beds are Texas sized. That whole resort is nice. Pricey as heck though unless you can get a good deal.

[@mrnuthatch7004]

@@thanehuesy8895 Actually it lookes from tony starks house in captain America civil war.

[@59BigWalt]

Hey Justin, the main thing you’re experiencing is one differences between Yamaha and Mercury. Mercury seems to accelerate a little more “violently” than Yamaha. If you still have difficulty making the adjustment, try changing the prop.

[@mastayoshi3141]

Loving the throwback to my younger days. Boats looking good, haven't been on a boat since I moved to TX. Maybe I'll get me a guided trip before I move back to GA next year, get one of those TX giants.

[@johnokamoto6762]

My daughter loves fishing with a long bamboo pole! No casting and sometimes she catches more because she can reach under branches that we can't reach with a regular rod!

[@cpmorgans69]

Ol Calvin raised ya right , I was just Skyping with him the other day.... he was hanging out in his naked room drinking his coffee and tying flies lol . He loves thos flies ....... time to get together with Mercury and surprise Ol Big "C" with a new bass boat of his dreams ✌

That looks like Grapevine lake! Love the videos!

[@connorwasilkowski2716]

Up here in Michigan in early June and late May those silver bass run thick in the Detroit River. My friends and I went out and the smallest we caught was about 14 inches and the biggest being 17.

Yeeeee yeeeeeee "Good spirit" keep it coming

[@scottjewett376]

that motor is amazing!!!!!

[@jaybird4812]

As a kid, we used to cut Illinois river cane, which is illegal now, but we would age it and have about a 10 to 12 foot cane pole to use. You just tied it to the tip of the pole and went fishing, simple and effective...

[@gowanusbridge1268]

Great vid as always. Lovin the content!!!

[@yankeesierra_4004]

Feel so nostalgic. My first fishing rod was very simple, stiff bamboo pole that not any processed.

[@MaryBrownForFreedom]

Scale, gut, remove head of bluegill. Place butter in the cavity and rub on outside. Salt and pepper. wrap in foil and drop in coals of the fire or cook on the grill until a thermometer reads 165. They will be falling apart tender and juicy and oh so tasty fr breakfast when I was camping. Can clean the same way and pan fry, the crispy skin is really good!

[@packerfan070]

Honestly LFG that motor sounds even better then some of the new sports cars!

Still using my telescopics but with small floats and size 16 hooks, works well for our Perch on the other side of the pond.

[@joelblair8339]

I love my brim buster.

[@madtownangler]

My first rod was an old one that my dad had. Six foot yellow fiberglass rod without inserts in the guides. The reel had the spool inside the reel instead of outside so the line wrapped around inside if you were not carefull.

[@jaynichols5222]

Man watching this video I had flashbacks from when I was a kid going with my dad and paw paw hell even sometimes my Memaw thanks for this video LFG!!!!!!

[@gavhirt9168]

I remember cutting down bamboo to fish the creek behind the town house when I was a kid. I think my dad still has some old reels from the 50s from my uncle that were my grandfather's. Plus my uncle is a big fisherman on lake Erie but no boat now aunt made him get rid of it lol. Ya knw break out another thousand it is the rust belt after all

[@craigdavidrosen]

Look at that little beard you got starting there , nice work. Let it grow !

[@calebblaser]

Some googan rods that collapse like that or like 4 piece travel rods would be pretty cool. I go into some tight spots in the mountains and along some creeks but I plan to do some more traveling to fish and figure that could be pretty cool.

[@NickAndCaroline]

It looks like a tenkara rod. I don’t know much about them so I could be way off! Pretty neat!

[@alien6495]

Hey LFG do you remember the pocket fishermen. I still have one my best friend gramma gave me. Still has the original line and hook in the pouch it came in. He actually caught bluegills and brim with it. RIP Grampa.

[@granth.outram5291]

I work at Scott’s landing marina on lake grapevine. There is good fishing there!

You could use that like a Tenkara road when you go trout fishing in the Rockies.
