Making a Gnarly Peacock Bass Lure

[@nOtHiSiSpAtRiCk715]

You should make a series on making saltwater lures and fishing in freshwater; and making freshwater lures to fish in saltwater. Then, when the kiddos get older, you can take them out to try and make as many O-Fishal as possible, on a coast. Family trip, fishing content, O-Fishal list, more lure options/content, memories for a lifetime

[@Iscobroooooo]

Brother he lives in like Minnesota 😂😂 would be sick tho just assume the ocean is 1k miles away each direction

[@gonefishink2370]

I’m obsessed with the lure man I live down in Miami and i go fishing for peacocks every week. You nailed it

[@baitchuckin]

I can't wait for the Baitligations to fire up in the springtime! This bait is gonna get smacked!!! Awesome bait once again Nate! I really enjoyed watching you get creative on the fly like that with the brain and the bite marks. Those tend to be your best looking baits when you just have fun with it. Tight lines brother!! Until Spring!!!

[@tonbo-lure-works]

The brain is coming out. It's a very interesting lure👍️ From Japan with love🇯🇵

[@bob-p1g]

Just got a marling baits hoodie and mug for Christmas, proud to support such a great channel. Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

[@davephillips4691]

I have been watching/admiring your work for several years! You are the bait making maven!

[@silvioyousseff4252]

As a Brazilian i must say, it's a gorgeous lure!

[@BadPandaWoodworks]

I think this is one of the best looking paint jobs you've done. REALLY neat and clean.

[@ericcabral5972]

In my opinion,that's the most gorgeous bait you've done👌Absolutely amazing

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

You should partner with a knife making channel and donate all your used razor blades to make a custom carving knife. You probably have a pallet full of them by the end of the year. Lol.

[@williamwetherington844]

be careful with the exposed index finger when carving, keep the fingers tucked and safe. happy holidays.

[@ramon_almeida98]

I am from Brazil. What we fish most here is tucunaré, we have 3 most common types, yellow, blue and açu (which is the one from the Amazon - cichla temensis). There are really no records of peacock bass measuring 1m, but there are several over 90cm.

[@meleagrisgallapavo]

Your foun facts was off the hook.. made me smile.. thank you!🤣

[@lukeclark1544]

I want a pair of Jordans with that paint job! You outdid yourself on this one Nate. Better not lose it.

[@guyhale4941]

That's a great looking peacock. Well done.

[@shotay51]

This one got me, i've been watching your videos for 2 or 3 years but i think its my favorite so far

[@matiasgonzalez1133]

Thanks Nate for keeping the baits coming!

[@LETSFISHINGO]

That open skull painted brain looks amazing! 👌

[@dawn9531]

A peacock bass is the fish I really wanna catch! 🎣

[@makaio9436]

Something different and quirky…. I LOVE IT

[@65FullMoon83]

"On To The Next Bait!" 😎👍

[@ericcabral5972]

[@nizutounstableth]

I like all your videos. I've watched almost all of your videos. Keep doing it from Thailand.

[@lucaskeeley8200]

I absolutly love your content and your hilarious. As a bonus you make beautiful baits and a true craftsman. Keep up the great content

[@matthewrobards2121]

[@raptr2005]

[@SolidMango-gh3jk]

I think you’ve outdone yourself now yet again ! Wow ! 🤩

[@travishanson2884]

Lee precision used to have where you can send the pot into them and they will refurbish it for half the cost of a new one.

[@Ilovefishing-o4t]

The brain sticking out is wild

[@rowandfishing733]

Best way to start a Saturday! Such a cool looking bait!

[@SCUMDOGFISHING]

Hell yeah. Lunchtime on a Saturday, and I get to watch an awesome lure being made 🤘

[@lloyds9183]

Always amazed at how they turn out in the end😮

[@catchingwithcole]

Great video!!! I would love to see a trip to South America or at least Florida to try out your lures on some exotic fish!

[@totalloser23]

That lexan fin glue up is above the rim thinking. Good stuff as always mate

[@Bobo_73]

Please make a northern studfish lure.

[@HomePhone-l8m]

Is that Wendigoon I hear in the background??????? Great video! Love the fun facts.

[@sauceboss7777]

Yes the perfect video for a sick day.

[@TomOrlando-x1p]

Gorgeous paint!

[@brandonbrown6544]

Good work as usual!

[@jcrow530]

I miss you making big, realistic wood replicas of fish. Those were the original videos that brought me to your channel.

[@aaronwood6910]

He’s always made all sorts of bates since day one

[@jcrow530]

@aaronwood6910 ok. I guess since day 1 of me finding hish channel and watching. They were not baits, just big lifelike replicas

[@boognish.]

Insane bait!

[@xgcatx]

Cichla Ocellaris as its known in the aquarium world. I used to sell them at a pet store. Babies would fetch about $50-$100 in the 80's. We had a pair in our big 1000 gallon aquarium at the store. Beautiful fish! Awesome job. Still think you should do a Magikarp lure!

[@Strugglinginlife]

Now this is good content 🤌🏽

[@jamesawsome1012]

Man I love watching your videos keep it up

[@MegaCoffee90]

Look amazing! Very cool.

[@buck1543]

You should try to make a barreleye fish. I wouldn't even know where to start, but I think it would make an interesting video and bait

[@ryanmcgraw5270]

Hope to see you make a ling cod one day especially the red or blue variant they are super cool looking

[@dreamer9886]

That looks awesome. Love to buy it

[@yunghousefly]

your creativity is crazy bro

[@Mike0i9]

Ones again this video made me happy

[@aficionadolurecompany700]

And Now we are going to drool 🤤

[@richarddangles69]

Happy new year brotha! Keep at it 🤙💞

[@BoneHead-Gaming]

I love it. Please do an entire zombie lineup, with exposed brains. So good man. Wow.

[@brandonbertsch9167]

I'd like to see a couple small ice fishing lures and see ya test those and see how they work.

[@BenMiller-j3f]

You live in iowa me too

[@russarmour8737]

Your attention to detail is unremarkable

[@miniysiplz7459]

Amazing bait! Keep up the good work👍

[@chriswilliams8902]

Loch Ness monster!

[@pinkgandalf4782]

Fun facts: earthling fishes didn’t have a skull in the beginning. They only started to develop one a couple generations later. And knowing the colors of the peacock bass is very similar to the environnement at that time, it would only be safe to say that they were around at the skulless fish era, way back then. This bait is extremly realistic and accurate. An historical masterpiece. Bravo! 🧠 🐟

[@Dusty141]

Man you need to move to FL so you can fish all year. I wish you and the Deermeatfordinner guy Robert would hook up and you make custom baits for the trip. Would be an amazing video. Great work!!!!

[@sfafishing]

Hey i started making wooden lures a month ago and i have a question. Have you ever broken a lure when using it?

[@nickkerr5714]

Reminds me of my buddy who used to paint motorcycle helmets. He incorporated brains

[@Trillz217]

Wow I recommended this a while back.

[@mibengal]

Fun fact... wash your hands in white vinagar to cut thru the epoxy on your hands. It's also good your soaking/cleaning your epoxy covered brushes and tools.

[@JerryBrown-ou4ff]

Here ya go

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video I have caught Peacock Bass in Florida But the largest I have caught was about 5 lb Whopper Plopper worked IMO about the best

[@matiasgonzalez1133]

Let's GOOOOOOo been waiting for the next vid!

[@andreachapman6886]

I really like the gnarly zombie brain 🧠!!!

[@_swym1337]

Cool fish

[@MrToejam666]

"me next"😂😂😂😂 how about a monk fish for the next time

[@michaelwest2677]

Yup 👍👌🎣

[@hectorrosalez4399]

You should mold some of your lures and sell them as blanks or something, might be cool

[@lickamadictip6684]

30:30 what the phantom menace are you watching? 😂

[@BB49]

That's what THE THREE STOOGES meant when they called each other "knuckle heads", makes sense now, thanks for that!!!!!!!

[@richjageman3976]

In my experience peacock bass put up a fight equal to an active smallie, pound for pound. 8 pound mono was more than enough for a day of fishing for them. Our groups largest I believe was just under 10 pounds.

[@a.a1224]

If you would like to try again to make lures from fish skin Id recommend a yt chanel by the name of kovislures who has show and tell videos of making them with english subtitles. The process takes about 30-40 days so id recommend trying this during the winter since you cant really fish much. Loved this project too

[@blairlane7425]

Looks great!! What about a lion fish lure?

[@artierodriguez8334]

As a S. Floridian; I didn't know I wanted a Zombie Peacock Bass lure. Who knew?

[@mattwells5865]

Pure beauty

[@lucaskeeley8200]

I'd love to start carving baits. What wood do you normally use for your baits

[@danielvelez4001]

Sence that peacock came out so sweet u Mite won’t to make a yellow perch they are similar😂😂😂❤

[@netdog06]

they are in the ditches and drainage system in florida go get you some. and get some cichlids too

[@MrMiguella]

If you cut slits in the fingers of regular gloves, palm side on the last knuckle of thumb fore and middle fingers, you can pull the tips over your fingers for warmth and stick you fingers through the slits for tying hooks, putting plastics on jigheads or anything else fiddly.

[@ethanhand8606]

the spillway snook would lose their minds

[@emarmy00]

Come fish Oklahoma anytime bro!!

[@adrnmrtnz3702]

Hi!!! Im for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 here we called (Tucunaré) 🐟

[@Rusty.Shackleford1098]

Small mouth buffalo get huge too and Minnesota biologists have discovered that large adults can be more than 30 years old.

[@pushf5843]

yes, please. ME NEXT?! 🥺

[@Cedrus_]

ayyyy lets goooo

[@TheUnnamedAssailant]

3:44 Nate’s moving to Florida isn’t he…

[@salamanderking8117]

I have an idea! What if you made a lure of fish, that doesn't have a nucal hump, and add a nucal hump. For example a mosquito fish. Then add a nucal hump of gargantuan size. Then catch a fish with it. Catch a fish with a hunchback of Notré Dam style lure

[@krisztianangel4090]

May I ask, how do you seal the wood and what kind of clear coat do you use?

[@WereAllThatBored]

The only Peacock left now is Butterfly in SFL. Snakeheads and Clownknifes are over taking everything now.

[@Dgfishing9]

Yo one idea for you, try a much shorter line on your test tank rod, you can test is much better

[@Trillz217]

Go down to Miami Florida and you will catch em all day

[@ethancastleberry1689]

Requesting a dojo loach

[@slimmdogg47]

I just signed up for KZbin Premium, and I hit play all on your bait making videos. I am going to be streaming my favorite channels 24/7 for the duration of the subscription.
