Hes the best man. I would invite him to my wedding

[@snailxbrawlerx14]

Funny part is he reminds me of Jim and yet here you are.

[@milesgraham653jsnrjdn7]

Make a really small lure and catch a fish on it and then make a lure that looks just like that fish you caught and catch a fish on that

[@dakotaquillen96]

So basically the food chain scheme

[@whitewa1e355]

That's a great idea! I would love to see a one or two day build of that lure(s)

[@cocokitty212]

miles graham Mosquitofish lure would be a good start

[@85krink]

I think a bait designed after a Beta fish would look pretty cool!

[@whitewa1e355]

A beta fish lure with feathers or buck-hair for the fins would be fantastic

[@Josy395]

Your sense of humor...I’m a fan 😂

[@bbenjaminnjamess]

Definitely a Lightning bug with an led in its butt. Time to up the complication!

[@fishfreak2001]

Now I would like to see that. That is a good idea.

[@evilcanofdrpepper]

No no you need to put a little turbine on the line in front of it so it lights up when ever you reel the line or if it is in a current. lol

[@andrewt7884]

That would be really neat

[@reellife5082]

You should mold it and make soft plastic version of it. It would be a perfect trailer for a chatter bait or jig👌

[@scottbausum4029]

I hear Tyler Childers in the background. ... excellent.

[@DrGonzosCondiments]

lived on a property in Upstate NY in the early 90's. Had a yellow and black one latch on to me as I was working around the farm pond (filled with trout fry). This was one serious insect! Thanks for the 'fun facts'. PS: the fry would get to the 3-4" range and then the resident Blue Heron would stop by for a repast.

[@kenwhite5132]

Looking like a piece of African wood Art.... it really does... freaking awesome.....

[@lukenunnery1770]

make a baby catfish, good slow moving bait for winter

[@robertfarrow4256]

We have these in Northern Ohio. I had one in my 10th grade insect collection. In our area they mostly hunt frogs and small fish. Clever choice!

[@Fredric_le_2nd]

I still think a fancy goldfish would look very good

[@bricebennett6791]

A shiny goldfish

[@pellelarsson83]

Fancytail goldfish would be so cool. And paint it in calico colors 👌

[@whitewa1e355]

Or one of the big bug-eye black goldfish or orange and black ones

[@woodymurphy4522]

Your attention to detail is astounding. Love it!

[@lureup9973]

I honestly don’t know how you do it....I’m amazed at every video....you have such a talent!.....keep em coming!....maybe a mole cricket some time!

[@arobles201263ar]

Props for trying every lure even while the weather is not even looking right

[@rodamik]

revisit these lures you made during the winter when it warms up...raincheck for May!

[@evilcanofdrpepper]

I think he should also revisit some of the lures he made in the past maybe with a different action or paint scheme on them like a different colored dragon fly or trying to make a turtle with a different style of action. So what if you made one before, if you think you can make one better then show us what you can do, we all would love to see what you can do.

[@jessicamcdaniel7396]

Ur the van-go of bait making ive started carving again thanks to u which reminds me of my grandpaw we use to whittle all the time untill he passed away thanks for the insperation u rock id love to buy some of ur swim baits

[@Floortile83]

Stretch Armstrong lure

[@barthanes1]

Beautiful bait. I've always wanted to try the bass with a water bug.

[@stevefermato5805]

OK, you asked for ideas for your next lure, here's my "outside the box" challenge for you. Bass, pike, muskie, etc. all go for mice, rats, squirrels, etc. I've watched many of your videos and see your German Shepherd (such a gorgeous dog) and how you two get along. I think you should make a chipmunk sized copy of your dog and take your dog lure fishing! :-) Good luck, should you accept this challenge!!! Love your channel! You are very talented, thanks for sharing it with us!!!

[@DjDolHaus86]

Your work gets better and better with every episode

[@michaelmcilvain4086]

I think you would be able to make a soft-body version of that lure. It would obviously have less detail, but the legs seem robust enough to be able to withstand a molding. Or do a mix of soft and wood body, like a salamander balsa body and legs, stick a hook out the back, and you could have various soft tails (different sizes and colors) you could then thread onto the hook and be able to change them up.

[@thegiant573]

Only fishing channel I watch with no fish. Amazing build once again.

[@kieran7173]

Your fingers that close to the saw cutting out the legs makes me so anxious

[@dubarhomeslice]

I think a tomato worm or the 5 spotted hawk moth (adult form of tomato worm) would be pretty cool. Tomato worms can get up to 10cm and the adults have a wingspan of 13cm!

[@labdogman3335]

Why not take a winter break and carve a small likeness of Chip? He was conspicuously absent today so give him a biscuit and a belly rub for me.

[@gen10nine43]

I'm speechless. Fishing while it is snowing. You are a better man than me. Hope you did a video with this thing during the spring. Love the channel.

[@suburbanfishing6441]

Man it looks great! These are awesome!

[@Nismodriven]

I would love to see this revisited during the warm season

[@davideferlin8053]

Impressive but, can you do a jellyfish lure and catch a fish with it?

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

My favorite bait you have made thus far

[@breakintips9896]

I know it’s winter and all however I’d be very interested to see how you’d approach creating a whopper plopper style top water bait. Maybe something a little less traditional but with the same concept. That would be my vote! Also, you should totally do a video in the spring or summer with the baits you had created this winter when fish is tough. A lot of the baits you made would totally slay on a good fishing day!

[@funkysnowman5651]

True talent

[@walterleistikow7498]

That is serious talent. Now I have to watch a bunch more of your video's!

[@scubasteve3183]

“Been de’bait’ing” 😂

[@lukeclark1544]

You are awesome, thank you. And my suggestion would be to do a series of frogs. They can be very colorful 😉

[@Danny_Harris-Arts]

Look at the eggs on its back... why God....LOL I've seen them swimming before... pretty neat. I've also seen them fly! I have a nightlight that I have seen them attracted to. Don't know if they were attracted by the light like moths or attracted to other bugs that were attracted by the light that maybe they were eating. Pretty wicked looking insects and you made it look real! I bet it would catch something in the spring

[@anexpiredyogurt4818]

Yeah, they use the light to navigate for mating

[@fierceflyer5]

That’s dedication fishing in the snow for your viewers. Another great looking bait.

[@BrutalExcision]

[@oriirae753]

I'm an entomology student and I find it so interesting when you make your insect lures! Belostomatids are pretty intimidating to mess with. My professor told us stories of them swarming the lightpoles where he used to live and falling on him! There are a lot of cool insects that live in the waters as adults and as juvenilles. Dragonfly and damselfly naiads would be an interesting lure possibly. They have an extendable labrum (basically their bottom jaw) that shoots out to catch food similar to how a frog's tongue does. Nepidae (water scorpions) could be a cool lure too! They angle themselves in the water because they have a "butt straw" to breathe air with; it's actually called a siphon, but butt straw is kinda hilarious. They also have raptorial front legs like mantids do. They're pretty spindley guys, but if you could get them to have that angle in the water, that would be super interesting!

[@joeschatz6617]

Tighter than a lid on a pickle jar. Nice bug. Goat.

[@Bruh-hn9cq]

Make a squid or octopus lure

[@brianjones866]

Giant northern water beetle WoW you crushed it that is as realistic as it gets great job because it's better than good first time I ever saw one it was eating a bull frog about the same size so I see this deflated frog and I try and brush the leave away and it wasn't a leaf 😮

If you're going to do anything with lead like you did the legs, I would suggest just using a carving knife since lead is so soft (plus no dust) and also hammering lead with wire in the middle can make the lead slide off the wire as the shape changes. Awesome video though, keep up the great work!!!!

Dude that's a work of art. I would just keep that in a display case if I had that. 😂
