[@haakonww]

This wonderfull channel is like the most educating fishing channel yet to date. thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is much appreciated. all the best to you and your familiy from Norway

[@ifishcatfish]

Thank you VERY MUCH!

[@armandorjusino]

Always a pleasure to watch, learning a lot, what was that black thing at 13:13 on the shoreline?

[@ifishcatfish]

Vulture. I used to hate them, but they eat all the dead fish and keep the banks clean. Without them everything would stink

[@joshjo9184]

I like the rod and reel matched up. The red on red looks really good.

[@jimpeterson3806]

Glad to see you're feeling better! Always fun playing bumper boats with the crazies 😂

[@ifishcatfish]

Feels good to be out again

[@TomStarcevich-fb3qo]

Nice fish 🐟 still not as crowded as the calumet river on a weekend perch fishing 😀 🎣

[@TC_Fishing]

Looking forward to the review. I picked up a Gekkabijin Air AGS casting model recently and I am impressed. Thought about the 68L-T also but did not pull the trigger. Agreed, not a bluegill rod, I plan to use it for bass.

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Fun day fishing with a fun looking combo! Glad you’re feeling better!

[@ifishcatfish]

better now - thanks D!

[@corerod1996]

Rod, reel and line colors match beautifully.

[@Parrotsalt]

Have you seen the new lews shallow spool spinning reel

[@ifishcatfish]

No, but im OK

[@kenglee88]

can you also put down the description of rod and reel you're testing out?

[@ifishcatfish]

this is a fishing video.. the review is coming up : ). I did put the exact model of the rod in the video. Its somewhere in the middle of the video..

Another one for the books, my friend! I caught my 1st big white bass (2-3# class) in numbers. It was a small river called the Tippecanoe River below Lake Shaffer in central Indiana! They have a small 5 to 8 turbine damn/spillway from the lake to the ruvers head, and let me tell you there are big stripers and wipers there however the whitebass there were huge! In the lake during the run of the white bass, it was awesome to see them surround the pods of shad, and when they attack they blow the shad about 1-2' out the water!! Its like someone throwing a hand fl of quarters in the lake! They quickly became a target species of mine. And coincidencally enough, i found the crappies (black and white both) would be spawning also. So you would hit the whitebass aggressively at 1st, then you could follow after the whites moved or went thru and cast your trout magnets behind the school and pound the big crappies that were or seemed to be following the whites/shad schools!! What a great time it was during that time of year. But for me hands down, the best river ive found for big whitebass. Sorry so long of a story, however one of my best memories of chasing schools of whites with jdm equipment. Ofcourse i do not use LiveScope currently so finding the schools were fun, sight fishing or chasing the schools of shads,looking for next 3lb+ whitebass, exploding shad out of the waters.

[@russellhill7270]

Also the channel cat fish seemed to be schooled or close to the others when they were chasing. So jdm equipment was a blast

[@russellhill7270]

Oh forgot to mention all the big crappies I caught were on the lake side of the damn, not the river side lol. The big cats were below the damn hanging out below the whites.

[@ifishcatfish]

I have similar observations like you... but TN can be surprisingly hard to find fish sometimes... even right now, i have no idea where exactly they are spawning..

[@kaapodooz]

Have you tested the gekkabijin line of spinning reels? Thinking about buying the DAIWA Gekkabijin X.

[@ifishcatfish]

i said in the video i don't recommend these reels. Legalis better

[@chipseiler1766]

I have a Vanford question. I just got a Vanford C2000 HG F. It was rough. You could hear it as I turned the reel handle and it felt like there was little to no grease inside. I returned it. I'm still wanting to get one, but what model C2000 would actually be best for ultra lite fishing and where in the world do you buy them from. Every place I've looked for one in America has the HG models! Having never bought from Japan (yet) I'm not too sure which vendors to trust. Can you return stuff to Japan? If yes, is it costly? Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. THANK YOU!

[@ifishcatfish]

Its very expensive snd difficult tonreturn to japan. I dont recommend ultralight reels with more thsn 5:3 gear ratio, unless for float foshing…

[@sav7458]

Hey Victor. Do you have an estimate date on when those .6g and .75g jigs are arriving to be added to the shop? I'm close to running out of jigs but don't want to order until those come in

[@ifishcatfish]

This coming week

[@sav7458]

@@ifishcatfishawesome! I'm very excited

[@johnrosas2606]

Enjoy your videos. Will be ordering bg1 soon. Where can I buy the fingerless gloves you’re using ?

[@ifishcatfish]

ifishtackle.com, same place u buy the BG-1 jigs.

[@gsrman9561]

What size reel do you recommend for float fishing with the legalis? Also, what gear ratio?

[@ifishcatfish]

2000 is the perfect size for float fishing. But 1000 is almost the same, just spool is a little smaller

[@bluesky5587]

Victor …I saw in previous comment where u mentioned new stock this week to your store …will you be adding bg1 size 10 hook..?…..1 gram

[@ifishcatfish]

no, 1G#10 will come late may. Next week is coming my ECOLITE series haha : ). They are made using the 1 gram mold and 1.25 gram molds, but are made from non lead alloy and weigh 0.6 and 0.75 gram respectively. The 0.6 gram will be in size 12 hook and 0.75 gram will be size 10 hook, so if u want a size 10 hook, u can use that. U can use it even with the floats, using some new kind of weights i have prepared. No splitshots!

[@bluesky5587]

Thanks Victor ..that will work for me ….i just received the bg1 jigs from you in 1.5 gram size 10 ….they have changed my fishing for ever …I got blue gill and crappie and a few bass ….way more fish than normal …I have every lure and jig under the sun and the bg1 leaves them all in the dust. …..your jig worked so good .i did not need to walk around the lake searching for good spots …nearest spot to my house produced a fish or a bite every 2nd or 3rd cast ….never happened like this before….one question ..if I am fishing crappie and bass ,,,,especially the bass ….is the bg1 size 10 hook big enough I am using trout magnets and trimmed crappie magnets …I ask as Randy in his last video mentioned daiwa jig in size 8 and 6 …..I did see your comment as to how bg1 is more preferred as it fits trout magnet easier…..so wondering if bg1 is meant to also handle bass ..thanks again

Hello, where can I purchase one of these rods?

[@ifishcatfish]

google the model. All kinds of stores will pop up..

Hi Victor it’s me again lol, What are your thoughts on the Presso LTD AGS 6’1L, I was thinking about getting one for myself and needed a second opinion. Awesome video by the way!

[@ifishcatfish]

thats a very old rod, isnt it? I would rather go for Presso Air AGS. Half the price, half the weight, twice the sensitivity

[@adamlee8512]

@@ifishcatfish thanks for the info! I will do more research and decide on which presso rod I want .

[@davelaux1762]

Looking good! Sensitive enough?

[@ifishcatfish]

Bass rods always sensitive due to stiffness

[@MathieuXiong]

Hello sir, do you believe that color line does matter?. I see you fishing with all kind of colors 😁

[@ifishcatfish]

I believe there is only 2 colors - high viz and natural

[@PhotoBob]

I can't put a Shimano reel on a Daiwa rod! My brain just won't let it happen.

[@ifishcatfish]

i can't tell if you are sarcastic, as i get all kinds of comments, but if you are serious, i can respect that. I have my own red lines ..

@@ifishcatfish I’m being serious and I don’t know why! I just can’t do it.

I'd stayed there all day Victor. Some nice white bass....lot of fun. Sorry to hear about your illness.....those things are painful beyond belief. One of my first JDM rods was a Daiwa Gekkabijin back around 2012-2013. Very well made....I gifted it to a friend. Where are you going tomorrow?

Went to woods and im already home. Not a si gle bed but white cap waves and didnt want to risk beating my kidneys in these waves..

Why couldn't you wipe down the line with a rag, rather than re-tieing every time you got slimed? Who ya gonna call? 👻👻👻

[@ifishcatfish]

I have a hand towel hanging off my belt every single day i've gove fishing the last 4 years. The question i have for you is - what happens with my towel afterwards? It has to go to the garbage. I can't buy new towel every time..

[@rooterdaddy6889]

@@ifishcatfish C'mon, Viktor. What do cat fishermen do besides wear bibs? They wash their towels in the washer with bleach.
