Bible verse of the day: Isaiah 12:2 “Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation”

[@keithblount229]

Amen 🙏🏼

[@mckaykriser4676]

Dope. Trust and not be afraid. Do you have a fishing christian shirt. that'd be dope

[@NASPELTZ]

@mckaykriser4676 I don’t but I’ve thought of making something like that. Soon I think

[@CDG_Stevo]

Amen

[@mattw2517]

I'm the guy you gave the lure to, thanks again! I'm glad you caught that one on camera, it was the biggest of the day for me for sure

[@NASPELTZ]

I’m glad you caught some as well, I hate seeing other fisherman struggling to catch fish. For some reason these fish were just so picky, they only wanted to eat topwater it was wierd

[@calebmastroine6542]

Thank you for the clean content. It is nice to watch someone that doesnt use words that need to be used.❤

[@calebmastroine6542]

Words that don't need to be used. Autocorrect

[@NASPELTZ]

Absolutely, I’ll always be posting family friend fishing content :)

[@lukeslemmer]

This year sure has been a great numbers year for you so far! Looking forward to the video from the preview at the end, that spot looks unreal.

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much, it’s gonna be a great video :)

[@Nodakhuntz]

Great video!! I like the transition from giant baits to small baits. And small mouth fishing is overall a good time

[@NASPELTZ]

Smallmouth fishing is always a blast, decided to switch it up a little this week!

[@pcaravaca]

Great video ! Love the fact that you release them pretty fast. Greetings from Costa Rica

[@Henry-ib4un]

Thank you for these very entertaining video. Love these videos

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching

[@pkgzapper]

I love the bluffs in Minnesota! If turkey hunting is going rough I always bring a rod and reel to hit the river and creeks!

[@NASPELTZ]

Minnesota is truly a gem

[@davidsagastume3700]

This is awesome, we need more fishermen like you

[@AndrewFishman]

"Fight it on the rod, not the reel". Best advice, I wish more people would do this and give this advice.

[@NASPELTZ]

It’s always good to give advice. Even to your older brother who might think he’s a better fisherman than you hahaha

[@NASPELTZ]

Winner of the lure from last video: Luke Slemmer “that entire area looks so good. Great video, i would say my main goal would be to catch a largemouth over 8lbs or a smallmouth over 5”

[@lukeslemmer]

No way, cant wait to use it. Have to try to catch a spillway muskie with it!

[@OldLadyAngler]

What a gold mine! Fun day for sure. That was nice of you to save the hot spot for your brother. I love fishing the rivers for Smallmouth! Topwater is the BEST!

[@NASPELTZ]

River fishing is my favorite and this river is amazing. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@keithblount229]

I love creek fishing. Man you are wearing them out.

[@NASPELTZ]

It was such a blast; thanks for watching Keith

[@fiver612]

I love that creek 😂 tons of memories of being a kid with my dad heading down there. Fished it for the first time on my own a few weeks back and didn’t do too horrible. Gotta get there at the right time of day though otherwise you’re struggling to get a spot.

[@NASPELTZ]

This creek can get packed haha, there is so many people who fish it. It’s a great spot, just gotta hit it at the right time of year. Tight lines

[@LT-rj1et]

Been here since 30k always love the videos. I’m from Wisconsin my self. Great fishing there!

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much, glad you enjoy the content. Thanks for sticking around since 30k. I love Wisconsin, been spending a lot of time in southern Wisconsin musky fishing this month

[@mattstephens8887]

On a day like that when the fish are keying on the edge of all that junk and feeling hungry, that’s when you just gotta say “life is good!”

[@NASPELTZ]

It truly is, such an incredible day for sure. Days like this make up for the days with little to no fish

[@LoOutdoors]

BROOOOOOOo OMGGGGGG thats in an incredible spot!! Nice work finding such a gem!

[@NASPELTZ]

How was the audio on this video?

[@mckaykriser4676]

Great man! I was wondering if you did a voice over after the fact, or talked during the video. But I did see the mic under your hat. I think the dead cat on it helps for sure!

[@NASPELTZ]

@@mckaykriser4676ya it’s not a voiceover it’s high quality mic, but it also picked up my voice a little to much since it’s so close. So the S sounds very sharp. I’m trying to work on it

[@AndrewFishman]

Good of you to try and put those others onto some fish. You are right, it is great to get fish, but it is not great to see others not getting them. Enough for everyone to have a good time. Great to see him getting the biggun!

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching, with a spot like this, everyone should have a chance at those fish. I’m glad he caught a big one as well!!

[@AndrewFishman]

Love light gear fishing in small creeks. Seeing you back on the creeks is great. Some really nice fish there and a lovely area. People walk past the scum surface, often, and miss the great fishing it conceals. 😆

[@NASPELTZ]

I watched a lot of fisherman just walk past it and miss out. Lots of great fishing in spots that look like that. Creek fishing is and will always be my favorite way to fish. I love small stream and small creek trout fishing. It is the best way to fish. Pulling big trout out of small creeks is awesome. I’d say I get out once a week or once every other week and hit the creeks. I just don’t usually film it. Trout fishing is so relaxing and is like my happy place so I don’t want to ruin it with cameras

[@AndrewFishman]

@@NASPELTZ I have been getting back to the creeks where I grew up for some big rainbows lately. It is so good and refreshing to get out to the creeks I called home as a child. And being able to just wander the banks and catching big trout is how I love to fish most, it was where I learned.

[@NASPELTZ]

@AndrewFishman that sounds like a relaxing day by the water. I hope you catch a big one soon!

[@AndrewFishman]

@@NASPELTZ Mate, I have been catching a fair few. All big, healthy fish. Average about 15 inches, biggest in the past couple of weeks was 22 inches. I am up to about 20 some good sized fish. Most people around here are happy with 10 inches, the "legal"size. Usually relaxing, often challenging, sometimes downright frustrating! I believe that's called "fishing" 😆

[@groundfog]

Crazy action!

[@yakangler419]

I think you are taking over ND Yak for the Bob Ross chill fishing voice. 😂 Hope you’re not too young to know who that is! Great Video

[@NASPELTZ]

Go look at my video I posted two weeks ago, the 9 musky in one day video haha

[@NASPELTZ]

We both have similar style of content, I’ve been slowly making mine more “chill” and relaxed over the last 3 years. I’m tired of seeing creators yell and scream after catching a 1 pound fish haha

[@yakangler419]

@@NASPELTZ Exactly! Same music, same voice, same content - what you’re doing is working.

[@NASPELTZ]

Hmm I didn’t even know he used music, I’m not trying to copy him or take his place or anything like that. We just happen to have similar content. I like fishing crazy wierd lures as well and just post chill content. Ndyak is the man and always will be!!!

[@yakangler419]

@@NASPELTZ I meant KZbinrs typically all do the same format- music, content, etc... You and ND do not. I personally can’t stand the ambient beat behind fishing or high tech drone stuff…. But, to each his own and ultimately …Soli Deo gloria

[@DodoBird157]

What soft plastics do you like for smallmouth? I’ve heard grubs, tubes, and senkos work well, but I was wondering if 4 inch vs 5 inch senkos made a difference and if there were others you liked.

[@jpadfishing]

Awesome job buddy!!! 🔥

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much

[@DrDitchpickle]

Great video man. Nothing better than fat bass on ultralight!

[@NASPELTZ]

So right, thanks for watching!!

There sure is!

Great video, you have got to get your brother on a Musky!!!

[@NASPELTZ]

Hopefully soon!!!

[@MN-Bassassin13]

I’m here because of Fishbrain. Found your content there and you fish a lot of the same spots I frequent. Keep up the content bro. Also I enjoyed the collab vid with ndyakangler. He was the first angler I subbed to on KZbin and he makes some great content as well.

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much for watching, crazy you found me through Fishbrain haha. Ndyak is the man!

[@OldAdventureBikes]

Is this southeastern Minnesota. It looks like a great spot.

[@logo9751]

Is it just me or does the fish at 9:18 look suspiciously similar to the fish at 0:32? Awesome vid as always.

[@NASPELTZ]

Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same fish, they were just crazy aggressive

[@4thedubs42]

If you don’t mind I live in Rochester and I’m looking for smallmouth what creek is this?

[@ColtonSchram]

Drop the addy to this place Nathan?

[@Alexishim8]

What creek is this? I live like 30 minutes away

[@lukehatescardio]

Where are muskies biting in lakes right now

[@calebswenson]

Was this the minnehaha creek

[@MartellOutdoors]

Tiring the fish, should be using a medium medium light for them

[@NASPELTZ]

Absolutely, I went over this in the video. I wish I had a heavier setup but all I had was my micro setup, I was planning to film some musky content that day but ended up fishin a creek so all I had with a heavy musky rod and a ultra light trout setup in case I found a trout creek

Just got myself a bowfin on ultra light gear the other day, was using the whopper plopper 75 on some 5lb test braid, no leader, was fearing for my poor whopper plopper, thought he broke it

[@NASPELTZ]

That is amazing congrats!!!

[@thebeefycheesy3078]

@@NASPELTZ youre one of my favorite fishing youtubers, just from watching you has helped me alot become better myself, mainly on catching pike, went from only having about two 12 inchers, too now about 11 and one 30 under my belt, hopefully i find a good spot for muskies and get myself one of those bad boys! Please keep making amazing content!

[@NASPELTZ]

@thebeefycheesy3078 I hope you catch a Muskie soon, I’m sure if you find the right waters you will get a chance at one. It’s nice to hear you caught some good pike. Keep it up and thanks for watching

[@theee2933]

aw man i fished that spot opening day water was to low it seems didnt catch near as many as you did one walleye that was about it but good job

[@NASPELTZ]

Aw man that is sad to hear, when you say opening day what do you mean? This is connected to the river so it’s year round. I hope you catch some the next time you get out

[@theee2933]

@@NASPELTZ ive seen people get tickets even for fishing the river right there its just better to be safe than sorry
