Medium rare steak with coffee for lunch is the most American thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I love it

[@MrMiguella]

Swap out the coffee for beer and it's Aussie

[@Sladefishing]

@@MrMiguellanot just aussie also American people having beer with steak here is more common than coffee with steak 😂

[@Hazmat1223]

Not gonna stop asking for a yellowfin tuna lure: Edit thanks for all the support guys!

[@Northernguy_alaska]

World record

[@TyinAlaska]

4ft long

[@adamlucashill725]

Tuna steak

[@mattramsey5080]

I would love to see that paint job

[@FishguyVR10]

Yes we need a tuna lure

[@ericpettyfishing]

This is the best bait channel on youtube. There is no comparison

Facts

[@brettjones220]

Snakehead lure sounds fun

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Your eye for painting is incredible. You're one heck of an artist and lure maker. You should make an Iguana lure! They're everywhere down in South Florida. I bet giant bass would destroy it!

[@R-Tipp]

I think it would be funny to try to recreate those old lures you made into real working baits. Especially the clothespin one.

[@justicehopper7724]

Always amazing to watch the baits come alive. Keep winning thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@baitchuckin]

HA the way you covered up that scratch with Super Glue and Baking Soda... 😂 We should just call it The Bait Maker's Bondo at this point! LOL

[@davidbardwell712]

oh, i was panicking! 17:30

[@Flarexxxx]

Im sure Spencer would love this odd cave cricket

[@dlmsarge8329]

I thought of Spencer too!! Spencer and flatheads just naturally go together!!

[@DjBolt11]

As a professional artist, I first started seeing your videos as background sound until I caught interest in your technique, especially the super glue and baking soda. Which I’ve now used in my process as well. Incredible what you can learn from different forms of art! Now I wait for new videos every week lol great work! A puffer fish would be fun to make or a manowar ! As a floater

[@jeremiahkari7615]

Gotta love when Nate posts a video on my day off 🙏🏻

[@Danicer043]

You should try a betta fish wether plastic or hard bait I think it'd be dope. Love your vids btw!

[@Red_Cat4888]

Ooh, a soft plastic betta with the long fins…..gorgeous idea

[@derekoliver7045]

Spencer Bauer needs this one, gotta go catch a flathead with him too

[@kiwi_comanche]

Dude the narration is magnificent. I'm close to tears here 😂 Thank you ❤

[@felipeivlozano8016]

Your skills are getting better with every video keep it up

[@johanrodvik]

Flatheads are my favorite game fish! Best fight in my opinion and I've caught a handful of musky

[@717CatFishing]

I absolutely love this one flatheads are my favorite species

[@devonhochstetler2349]

Every time I see your lures I just have say wow

[@carsonhaney7888]

Been waiting months and borderline years for this one, i almost dropped my phone in shock when I saw the name of this video, fantastic work as always 😎🎣

[@jayt825]

Chester copperpot, the key to catfish baits.

[@mcteer]

When that burr bit came out of there on the big mistake i could hear the drill press snickering and softly saying "You'll learn your lesson and come back to me." LOL!! ..... WOW!! That splatter masking fluid technique was a great idea and worked great!!! You always say it's hard to get random. Well that came out wonderfully random. Looks great. ..... im afraid that action and the ditch will not end well for the Flat Head.💀🙃

[@biggametracker1]

Need a saltwater bait series to see what bass will eat, tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, dolphin, whale, the list goes on and on and oh specially finding nemo

[@joeyyoshizumi]

Your videos always inspire me to paint more realistic lures!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@gregwright392]

Sweet bait! One of my favorite fish to fish for!

[@NoahSchaay]

that's crazy how good you made it!

[@CrawlingBdog]

This man has taught me more about fish than I will ever need to know but it is neat

[@CockMcBallsddd]

Ah u just need to start fishing man. . .you can never know too much about fish when you're chasing them. . .

[@CrawlingBdog]

@@CockMcBallsddd I fish every second I have a chance to fish

[@PascalMiller]

Nice to hear that you wrestled!! My high school wrestling team made It to the state finals last week!!! Wish me luck!!

[@gavinvo410]

I think this channel in underrated

[@augustonthefly]

Dude the tunes in this episode 🤌

[@jdfightingautism]

Nailed it,,,Love this lure.

[@hanksbaits]

Such a perty granny cat

[@-dystopic-]

Damn that came out fire!

[@vharrald]

I brought this idea up to you a few months back, I'm glad you finally decided to make it Nate

[@plzifan3773]

every video you put out is a banger

[@hanksbaits]

What an awesome lure. Loved the vid!

[@derekbturtlehuntin789]

Be fun to see you remake a couple of those old baits, with the same idea in mind as when you first made them. Like people do with old drawings. Then vs now, or 12 years later. Been watching for a long time, and your consistent great attitude is inspiring and motivational. Thank you

[@eddiehuske]

You should make a saltwater lure like a mullet swimbait

[@AdventureIndiana]

I once was fishing a top water rapala. It was a silver and black minnow, real old skool lure, maybe an inch long. Had a flat head catch fish just destroy that lure on the top. Never got him to in, but he was a good 10 pounds I bet. It was quite a thrill. Beautiful lure. Reminded me of that good fishing trip with my dad. Wish we landed that fish, but he was the one that got away

[@NavyVeteran1776]

We need to see those OG baits being fished with at least in one video please!!!!

[@Tubewatcherdude]

“Dude, I’m gonna call flatheads granny cats from now on” and thats how fish get 20+ names. Very nice lure

[@nortonsoutdooradventures]

Excellent bait yet again!!!

[@shakeandbakepaul]

Good old hydro dynamics at play here, every object will take the easiest path thru water, the average Glide Baits are a lot higher than they are wide, this gives them the side to side movement. With that catfish being flat and not very high the less resistance was over top & underneath the lure, allowing it to move up & down thru the water column, also the 2 pectorals then worked as a diving lip. A very cool build none the less, and a failure is only if you don’t learn from it 🤷🏼‍♂️ really enjoy your tips, techniques & carving skills👌

[@charleshamby575]

It's perfect ❤

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

These oblibaitions are gonna be amazin' 🤙

[@AquariumFun-sy2jt]

B-roll has leveled up! :)

[@richshackelford5793]

Nice looking bait Nate, you should try and make a 6” soft plastic bullhead

[@65FullMoon83]

I suggested a bullhead bait of some kind before, but Nate didn't bite. It's a good idea imho.

[@roguemanoutdoors]

What I think would be kind of funny, would be to carve out a loaf of bread in the package, so a package of bread, you could have the tail be the opening to the bag or something, and paint it in a Wonder Bread color.

[@kadenmackey4916]

Absolutely love the videos been watching for years. Recently enlisted in the navy and will be thinking of nothing but fishing and your videos while at basic. Can’t wait to for the stockpile of videos to watch when I’m done though!

[@baps5078]

This channel has the most wholesome comment section ever

[@dirtsgonefishn]

Just awesome, great job.

[@redknights2007]

A Marling and Solarfall bait making video on the same afternoon. Let's Go!!!!! 🎣

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

Might be my favorite so far ❤ Can you humor me a bit and make a dwarf gourami lure?

[@montyyeager1117]

OK.... now thats funny. Entertaining. Love your videos

[@dower85]

I love you MB!!!

[@johnnyleach7152]

Soon as I saw it I new it was a flat head, looks fantastic.

[@williamdixon8887]

You should make some other random fishing things- a wooden net, maybe a kayak paddle.

[@reelsandwheels1]

Haha the lunch segment was great

[@brandonseutter4632]

As a long time timber lure maker myself, I bet if you put the line tie screw eye an inch to an inch and half from the nose on top of the head, the downward angle already there would act as a lip and the bait would have a lot more action. Just a thought. Worth a shot.

[@luthergodwinyopp1248]

Id also like to thank you for getting me into baitmaking myself. I made my first homemade bait out of a wine cork, bottom off a coke can and some steel bbs . Cork wasnt the best choice lol. My screws pulled out but amazing action

[@johnwarden4645]

Great job mate ..From NSW Australia

[@paulsimpson7426]

I think every man needs more recognition for staying out of holes they shouldn't be in.

[@davidpritchett855]

Love this one. It reminds me a lot of an open pour sucker that was one of your first vids I saw.

[@SCUMDOGFISHING]

Don't know if you have done this before but I think a rainbow darter would be cool🤘

[@nickna694]

Thank you for superglue baking soda, I really need that.

[@marshallwhite2619]

I love this man

[@Guiltyme]

Nice to see you are looking good again. And wow that bait looks amazing. im so impressed over your talent

[@syndican_]

Another bait, another inspiration to make my own lures! ❤

[@pauldockins9635]

Catfish rule.thanks❤

[@michaelbarnes6538]

You can add wire to the hooks for weight

[@zap2747]

The widemouth blindcat seems like an excellent fish to replicate with soft plastic

[@captnfatnutz8614]

Oh yea I really loved to see this I wanted this and I actually commented for it😂😂

[@baitchuckin]

Another awesome video! You're on a roll with amazing content!! I can hardly keep up with regular videos 😝 Looks like with some practice I bet you can finesse that glide into some good action, maybe on a slow roll, somewhere where there isn't as much current as the river. The way is dived and wiggled in the test tank on the shorter jerks was pretty lifelike of a big fish boiling and turning down. That could definitely trigger a reaction strike.

[@motors-anonymous9783]

And tonight is a good night for sure now

[@herscheljackson2781]

Can't wait to see what kind of monster eats flatheads !

[@timothymilam732]

Down in Vicksburg, Mississippi, there's a civil war battle ground that's a national park In the park there's an ironclad battle ship that was discovered years ago, and according to the preservation crew, it sank whole with numerous cannon ball holes just at the waterline. The slit covered it throughly fast enough to preserve most of the crews belongings inside the ship It was whole until they tried to pick it up with two cranes mounted on barges, but used cables that sliced through the massive oak beams running the length of the ship, plus all the heavy timber that was once encased in sheet iorn. There's several story boards detailing the things found within it around the display cases. One of them describes the bones of a very large catfis, and according to the biologist that examined the bones. They established that the catfish was minimum of 300 lbs, and they have reports of catfish taken from the Mississippi River that large and larger supposedly verified by the skulls and vertebra that's been examined from the 1700, 1800's. They believe that they were blue catfish, and numerous finds of the rare these days around the area of duckbilled catfish almost as large according to what I read about down in that part of the Mississippi River, but I would think that if they both were there, then they were all along most all of the Mississippi River, and every river, and stream that feeds into the Mississippi River from one end to the other. Thought that was interesting enough to remember, and pass along over the years, but as of how factual this information is, is only what I have read there at the natural park, as well as reading miscellaneous articles over the last 40 plus years. Honestly other than the park information, couldn't tell you at this time who wrote the other information, are who the articles were published in it's been that long ago since I read this. Maybe someone from the area along the rivers can verify, or even shoot holes in what I read years ago. Won't hurt my feelings in any way, and I really would like to know one way or another if it factual, or bullshit personally.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

In-Fisherman magazine did a piece on historical Catfish catches years ago. You could goggle it on the interweb.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

You should surprise KayakCatfish with this bait. Just randomly shows up in his mailbox.

[@jacobbritt9528]

Been waiting for this!!! Love fishing for flathead and bass!

[@Rick-lo5ob]

Always happy when I see a new upload

[@Elon_Trump]

Looks like a real fish.

[@johnnyjames6674]

I like fishing on the coast of Lake Ontario and the bullhead catfish are called mud cats and horned pout.

[@MichaelWilliams-kq1lv]

Congratulations on staying out of the slots and holes with the clearcoat. You truly are impressive.

[@nolansbaits862]

Yay new vid! Can’t wait to ENJOY!!

[@BoboBellington]

Love the videos keep up the great work!, Also I think a soft plastic bubble eye goldfish would be awesome!

[@1.5acrefarmer42]

@marlingbaits You need to do a shirt that says “Sometimes you can’t see perfection”.

[@benhoogerheide365]

Adding a water current to the test talk would be awesome

[@barrykanowski5913]

Nice job 👍🏼

[@Knabbelbaars]

I always love your video’s! Keep up the good work❤ Maybe a cool idea, make a zander swimbait? Seems like a nice idea to me!😊

[@christopherromina5445]

Cool lure

[@grantmoore1683]

It's called noodling. You catch them with your hands when they bed. It is very fun to do.

[@michaelbondick575]

Looking better 😉👍 all healed up.

[@nugefishes]

you have enough baits to invite Spencer to help make them official. Thanks for all you do. Still waiting on the original art t-shirt.

[@jacobkrell7835]

I've been waiting for a flathead catfish!! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@chrisphistry5949]

Ok, I think I'm in too deep: I got a little anxious when you didn't let Chip out after your "ONN TO THE NEXT BAIT!" Can't wait to see you make this catfish official.

[@madmattfishing]

🔥🔥🔥 Love your content. Always great when you upload. Especially on mondays. Start the week off right👊

[@billycurran9688]

Love the stake and coffee B roll 😂

[@HeLovesYou999]

You should make a strawberry crank bait in honor of chip

[@CSBaits_]

You should make an Arctic Char swim bait

[@TRINFSS]

Sending Chip some love.

[@sanchez9761]
