I've been watching you since almost the beginning. And you absolutely killed this lure. But it's crazy to come back and watch this older video and see how much your carving has improved. I'd LOVE to see you redo this lure super with silicone and resin fins.

[@joshuaglaude1549]

I just watched this video again myself. Everything has improved so much. You don't notice the changes as time goes on, but when you come back and watch the older videos again, you really see his progress. I thought he was good when this video was made. Now he's that much better.

[@adamking2922]

Hey when did u start talking in vids as this is a good one but your personality in later vids shines and makes them even better

[@MizzzKitty]

I couldn't have said it any better my self.👌😁😊

[@mikewasniewski4048]

I keep pushing for perch lures in your videos,not realizing you made some beauties in past videos I missed! As a youngster,I caught 3"-5" perch for bait for muskie fishing.Now , perch lures are "confidence baits" I use often. Great job!

[@chrissihefer9098]

[@ColinHolloway70]

I would buy these to frame as a signed work of art for my office! Such beautiful craftsmanship!

[@rchouser123]

Can you please do a full blooper reel? Just an entire video of hilarious stuff. That would be awesome.

[@joshuaglaude1549]

One of my favorites you've ever done. I'd like to see you remake it now with your skillset. See the comparison.

[@user-uh7zf8cu6k]

Каждая работа-шедевральна!!! Спасибо за такой кропотливый труд!!! Невероятно красиво! Каждая рыба как живая! Желаю здоровья на долгие годы изготовления таких прекрасных приманок!!!

[@jonsey3645]

Fish that taste like fish... hilarious observation. If we were like the Japanese you would be a national treasure. Awsome display of impeccable skill. Thanks.

[@omary5439]

me starting the video: "so it's just going to be a perch" me by 26:03 : "it's art and nobody can say different!"

[@jefffrancis7198]

To me this thing is a work of art . I would never cast something this well built masterpiece . nicely done.

[@Tam58851520]

Wow, what a work of art. I saw only one problem with the build.....all the hard work and incredible detail that lure absolutely deserved a mold for reproductions. Great work.

[@cookie761]

Absolutely fantastic! So realistic! You are really a master artist. The lack of talking was very interesting. I liked it but only for once in a while. I'm not sure if I would have liked it if I hadn't watched almost all of your other videos. Thank you so much!

[@MrMotchel]

this one was so peaceful at the end.. great video

I am 13 and go fishing a lot all I need now is one of your lures love the vids keep makeing them

[@phillyfred12]

I’ve watched all your videos at least twice each , some many more. You got me started trying this . Any way this perch , is my favorite. So much detail , you make everything look so easy. I do know it is not. And This was 5 years ago . I am on my second try , attempting to duplicate this perch. Just want to say thanks for gettin this old guy excited about doing something again . I did catch a Sunny on my first bait. Sunnies like Fred’s baits 😂

[@snakebait5118]

Nice work! You put a lot of time in that with all the details! That perch is a work of art!

[@nighthunter3889]

Some day you should try to make like a Bass Sculpture, for display, i think it would turn out very good.

Absolutely love swim baits. I think they mimic the real thing better than any other bait, and I like the way you can feel them. Any change in the feel, set the hook!

[@PanfishingJournal]

This lure is my favorite you have made.

[@genaputrov5207]

Well, this work looking really special, because of high difficulty in creating this type of lure at home. Bravo!

[@joshuamoore6232]

Man, that would make a killer musky bait

[@jm7929]

As I'm sitting here welling up in tears of appreciation, watching the painstaking carving and working right through that bloody knuckle, then the way chip looks up at you when you pet him sent the tears down my face LOL, I agree with others, your personality is great when you commentate on the newer videos. You're an amazing artist, thank you for the videos.

[@Ardonn]

lol.

Great craftsmanship! Also props for Bloodborne music.

You have a lot of patience my friend, you do what you do very well, I saw the bait on your website! Wow talk about true craftsmanship. Glad to see the art of "handmade" in America still lives! You have an old soul.

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you Chris!

[@CarlosRodriguez-tx3oe]

One of the best lure I've ever seen. ..beautiful job. .!

[@wpmiller6387]

A true work of art, almost to beautiful to fish with I'd be afraid to lose or damage it. Beautiful work!

[@Eric-1983]

You do great work. You're a true Craftsman. Love the passion.

[@TheLinuxnerd]

that is stunning, my type of ART

[@MrJab-hv1wt]

It’s so beautiful and so well made. The paint is amazing! I would be so scared to loose it in the water! 😱👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@denverkirk2054]

Now I understand why hand crafted baits cost so much! Subscribed!

[@ssidorchik]

yes it makes sense, but there is one thing - you never know if they would work, in this videos we can see how it plays but we have never seen how they attract fish

[@srepkie]

Impressive work! Nice job on the music playlist as well!

[@mrmcbonkers9304]

I couldn't imagine spending that much time on a lure. Id worry about snagging and snapping the line in the first ten minutes of using it.

[@riptideoutdoors6353]

MrMcBonkers I make my own lures to and it is probably one of the worst parts of fishing when you lose a lure you made... but nothing beats catching a fish on a handmade lure

[@AFishBicycle]

He has since lost many lures like that.

[@bluesy22]

Wonderful job as always. I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks for posting these builds. I struggled with the glass cabochons eyes rocking and rolling while trying to dot them. Found a great use for double sided tape. Place double sided tape on a piece of wood. Stick eyes lens side down to tape and no more scooting eyes. the tape leaves no residue on the lens.

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you! super good idea. Those little cabochons can be buggers!

[@dsfb22]

Incredible work, I’m looking to buy one of the 5” once they’re back in stock

I love watching your videos, man! Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your work and you are great at what you do. Keep up the good work, man! I think you deserve even more followers than you already have. The time, hard work, and attention to detail really shines through in the finished product.

You must have so many hand and finger injuries, I noticed some blood went into making this one. Not only skilled at the carving stage but they are a work of art also.

On my detail carving I use a really thing box cutter (the one with the break away blades) and it is the best thing I have found for those details

[@j.j4379]

Best swim bait I have ever seen that paint job is great and the carving you put into that. I don't even have words to describe how great that swim bait is. I can't imagine how many hours you put into that. Did it ever catch any fish. great job.

[@josephpilmanphotography]

personally perch are my favorite fish, no clue why I just love the colors on the ones by me. im in wisconsin so they are really orange and pot bellyed.

Marling Baits no problem, what type of paint do you use?

[@mscudde2]

I'm going back through old videos and my guess is this is when he realized he could just glue his entire template to a block of wood, and then cut it out. You don't see too many scissors in newer videos :)

Hi nice job on the bait a i have never used a jerk bait in my 60 years of fishing but last week was my first time, There was a lot of fresh water did not expect to catch anything but wow what a supersize first cast i got a 6 lb pike and every other cast i got pike from 6 lb to 15 lb i was surprised and now my favorite bait is a jerk bait. So thank you from Ireland

[@demont705]

Love your work dude, I'm addicted to your channel! Also my idea for a bait is a baby bird bait. Like one that fell from the nest right out the shell!
