Mail From Japan! Will It Catch Minnesota Smallmouth?

[@handsomelures]

I'm the creator of the PopSlider.I am very grateful for the opportunity to introduce you to my lure.Thank you very much. And thank you Mr.Fukuhara.

[@macchinedeltempo6469]

handsomelures I had to stop mid video to search for your website. What a treat for my eyes! Than I found your lures on-line, and with the prices like that I wouldn’t even try to tie it up on my line. :) But seriously, have you ever consider to offer your beautiful work here in US?

[@handsomelures]

Macchine del tempo Thanks for finding my site. I understand your feelings very well.However, if you ever get a chance to get your hands on one of my lures, I trust you will understand why the price is so high. I would love to sell them in the US and I've already shipped a few lures to the US.

[@macchinedeltempo6469]

handsomelures I am not complaining about the price. I totally get it, just by looking at the pictures. Do you sell directly to the customers or one have to go through the retailer to buy your lures?

[@handsomelures]

Macchine del tempo I'm selling direct now, but if you know of any stores that would be interested in my lures, please refer me to them. Thank you for your kindness. Please DM me if you'd like.

Thanks for sharing, Matt! I'm partially deaf and sound isn't really a game changer for me, but your videos are the exception I absolutely refuse to watch them if I'm not in a quiet environment and today I've had my grandmother passing by and hearing the sound of you rowing on the river, asked me to send her your video, which she watched till the end, without understanding anything you said (we are Brazilians) just for the scenery and sounds You certainly did it right when you decided to dedicate the time you do for a good sound 🙏🏻

[@charlesr.aliffjr.4050]

Man, that 20", 5 lb. smallie was a tank! Beautiful colored fish too...

That opening scenery is absolutely incredible.

Those reflections at the beginning are incredible

The opening clip looks like a painting. I was half expecting Bob Ross to step into the frame and start dabbing paint on it...

[@Stayinyourmoment]

My 1 year old daughter and I are watching this video while cuddling , she is going for her afternoon nap. She will watch and listen til she falls asleep, she has been watching me at the cottage and I will show her each fish , she will touch and smile. We will be watching for future videos, thank you bud

[@armandorjusino]

World class scenery, superb fishing, not a single soul in sight, no trash or waste, even people who send you lures from all over the planet, you sir have no idea how lucky you are.

[@DoubleBogeyBass]

I’m starting to be convinced that these smallies are your pets and you have them trained to hit on command 😂😂. Another great video, that opening scene is epic too!

[@ethan.t6451]

It's my wish to get a kayak and go fishing, I only fish from shore and would really step up my game. Awesome video as always!!

[@ethan.t6451]

@DrBASScatcher 2007 yeah, hopefully our wishes come true one day!!

[@jackstraw8145]

Got a 2 seater inflatable kayak with pump and paddles for less than 200 last year. Had it in the Gulf and couple lakes. So far no worries. Extra careful with hooks! Similar material as white water rafts I assume. Pretty fun, and it will fit in a backseat easily.

[@ethan.t6451]

@@jackstraw8145 Lucky...

[@johnwilliamson2276]

I am always glad to see another of your videos pop up on my feed. Never disappointed! Whenever I get a topwater lure I try to change out the trebble hooks for doubles. They ride the grass much better.

[@SkateNdie]

Does wonders for me too

This is the epitome of why KZbin is amazing. Minnesota Legend fishing a lure from a viewer in Japan.

[@AjLynn45thParallelFishing]

Ah Yes ~ "Please be a Bass !" - We northern anglers are all too familiar with that plead to the angling Gods ~ Enjoyed It ~ Nicely Done.

[@Madisonrvr]

That five pounder was beautifully colored as well. Awesome fish.

[@chevydude5o2]

You're like the Bob Ross of bass fishing, lol, relaxing to watch

[@variable303]

"Will it catch smallmouth?" - Given that you can catch smallies with random lego pieces, I didn't need to watch the video to know you'll catch fish with it. I could probably send you a used nailclipper and you'd catch a 20 incher.

[@name3067]

This man could tie on a plastic bottle with a hook and catch smallies

[@larryvilla6869]

Idk if Minnesota is just super low pressured so the bass are super aggressive, but I bet he could probably catch a fish on a dog turd over there.

[@horaiyo]

The Chewbacca lure was my first thought too when I saw the video title.

You, sir, are the best at netting and handling the fish you catch. I've been watching your channel for a while and I'm constantly impressed.

I like that you respect the fish and don't aimlessly throw em back into the water. You set them in and release rpthem with care! I appreciate that, thanks for sharing your time and passion! I subscribed!

So beautiful this time of year, September and October in the outdoors is my heaven on earth. 5 pounds for a 20" bass is crazy. Usually 4 pounds at that length. I love when they are the shape of a football. As usual great video!

[@chadleebaldwin3209]

Keep up the good work man i love your vids with smallies

[@george8214]

Gorgeous morning and beautiful video! That popper looked like an art piece but I truly think with you it’s about 85% presentation and 15% lure choice because I’ve seen you catch awesome fish on EVERYTHING you throw! (Spider, snake, etc.).

[@kylehassett6798]
