My Fishing Essentials!

[@socalbum2024]

Love your vids! It’s awesome that you just don’t care about getting down and dirty. You just walk into streams in your jeans and shoes! I don’t see other...um...googan dorks...fishing like that. They need the nice boat, the nice rod, the latest lures, etc. I do miss the intro tho where you jump into the lake with your tackle box. Can you bring it back once in awhile?

[@CatfishWrangler47]

Yeah googan is trash

[@ethanmclachlan181]

Yeah that intro was iconic

[@wbaumberger1]

agreed

[@thanehuesy8895]

When u said Berkley powerbait smell is nostalgic I had back flashes and memories for a hour straight

[@NobodyWhatsoever]

"A pliers," is a way I'm definitely not used to hearing it. I've always just heard, "pliers," or," a pair of pliers." It's funny how such little things can annoy lol And yes, it's probably regional, so it's not criticism. And speaking of regional, to be more accurate to how I am used to hearing it: "plars" and "apara plars."

[@tybeers6846]

You explained my exact thought process lol. It annoyed me too lol I call it a pair of pliers

[@zach1knudsen495]

I love how you’re not a click-bait fishing channel bro!! Keep up the good work!

[@Matthew-fy2lc]

Can't tell you how much I miss your old intros from many years ago.

[@pimpdaddyzach6616]

They were so good!!!

[@gusc.l.1805]

yeah they were great

[@iancallon6520]

[@Goober523]

You need the floating rapala greatest panfish lure of all time

[@bretsubotnik1777]

No doubt about it

[@pl4life306]

Dude I’ve been loving the vids lately

[@notthebender]

The iced tea has returned

[@keegansoutdooradventures1265]

Brendan Miller has to be the best fishing KZbin ever. He makes the best reviews and amazing fishing videos. I hope he never stops making videos

[@BrendanMillerFishing]

Thanks bro!

[@keegansoutdooradventures1265]

@@BrendanMillerFishing no problem Brendan!

[@jasondavidson4982]

So glad you are uploading videos again. Missed these vids during the winter. So informative and well put together. Thanks again for the great content!

[@Hayes_Henderson_Outdoors]

I don’t blame you about the bobber

[@mnlreloaded9266]

Hyped for the northern Video, it's my favourite fish

[@Brunnen_Gee]

Inline spinners are the quintessential fishing lure for me. That's what I latched on to as a kid, and at 40 I still throw them all the time. I've latched on to the ultralight scene lately. I have two setups, a KastKing Summer 500 on a Berkley Cherrywood with 2lb mono, and then a KastKing Royale Legend II 1000 on a Okuma Celilo with 6lb mono. Insanely fun. They're my go-to combos these days. Dirt cheap too.

[@casper9256]

Love fishing ultralights. I actually just broke my rod that i have had over a decade today so gotta get a new one. But its so fun, and easy to carry with you all the time.

[@coryloftus6265]

Like your videos and your sense of humor. After a 45 years brwak, you remind of the fun of fishing. I couldn't find a red sqare bill crankbait. You inspired me to buy a red lure keychain at walmart,$1.52, and throw hooks on it. It even has a whispy tail. Thx and keep it up.

[@eduardobotello4059]

The steelhead spinners are so fire in the winter for bass. When nothing else is working I tie one the spinner and it triggers them to bite.

[@madtownangler]

Gotta have a retired nurse mom like me. The last time I went to canada I ripped my thumb wide open and "stuff" was coming out. She sewed my thumb up from her first aid kit and I spent the week with my thumb wrapped in plastic from a bread bag. What I would add to your list is a Johnson Silver Minnow and a pack of three inch white grubs to add to it. I have caught so many pike on this. I also use a monster silver minnow and four inch grubs for musky.

[@SimonSays_]

Thanks for always giving sound advice . Happy fishing Brendan!

[@ethanmclachlan181]

Whopper plopper is my favourite lure right now I just caught my pb Muskie on it and so many bass of all sizes

[@toddl3682]

Would you consider doing a video on how you use those bates and rig them up. Just getting into fishing and now sure of a the rig setups and how to fish those bates. Thanks,

[@lanekuchinsky7908]

I love me some pike they’re such hard fighting fish

[@polypterusbichir6837]

A long pliers is indeed the most important just like a steel cutter. I had ones slices up to the bone on my knuckels from a big pike (to small plier that day) and the steel cutter for a hook in your hand😅

[@j.j.savalle4714]

classic selection of gear (lures) for sure. for sure do a pike vid as they are such a blast to catch. maybe a future list vid of lure selection/color vs season.

[@keithbaxley4662]

All great essentials! Not much of a “video my day fishing” so I’ll take your word on the camera equipment. Keep fishing with this bobbers. I’ve watch many pros use them especially when the bite is slow. Setup your rig, cast it out and wait for them to decide. Or use it as you said, on suspended fish that haven’t been to terribly aggressive in the day. Love the videos! 👊🏼

[@ethanmclachlan181]

Now I wanna rapala countdown seems like such a cool versatile bait

[@djliserio994]

Just purchased some of your signature baits i appreciate you making baits that are affordable not everybody has expendable income to throw at a hobby. Thank you very much. I'd like to see a video about affordable rods and reels.

[@jaydenweidner7058]

Great video, I love ultralight combos too!

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

Solid kitbag dude. smart choices!!

[@isabellaasselmeier3635]

I don’t like using bobbers very much but they are a must have

[@dedemorton9597]

oh yea cant go wrong with the grubs and jig heads. ive caught different types of panfish, crappie, and bass all on that combo.

[@aidenhurley4442]

Good job man you are on a grind

[@wettestriver4532]

Always bring toilet paper for when nature calls. It’s saved my ass more times than I can remember

[@isntitobvious9894]

This , and hand sanitizer, so when you handle worms, frogs, etc you don't wipe their grime in your eyes or nose or ears , they can have nasty microbes, amoebas and parasites. Let alone the pond scum.

[@samferrier2062]

The x-rap is a good pike lure

[@Panman-fishing-Venture]

Cool episode really like your content keep up the great work

[@garrettkestle5824]

my family fishes a lot and we normally use live bait and bobbers so there is nothing wrong with that

[@mr.random7522]

Bro he seems like one of the coolest people like how cool would it be to be friends with him!!

[@isabellaasselmeier3635]

I don’t like using them very much but they are a must have

[@jaagupparn4174]

Do video of fishing for Northern pike

[@ethanmclachlan181]

I might have to pick up some of those swim baits I don’t have any and I want some

[@ericl8756]

If you like pike fishing i have a few recommendations, you should try daredevil spoons, bigger jerk baits and spinnerbaits (I, among others, really like firetiger spinnerbaits for northern pike) those are my personal favorite pike baits, and I have also been told that swim-jigs and topwater frogs/whopper ploppers work great as well.

[@garyrothweiler5384]

You totally missed including a Ned Rig!!! A Zman OG 1/16 oz Jighead and a Zman TRD MinnowZ and you need nothing else in your tackle bag!!!! If you want just two baits then include your 4” Yum Dinger and fish it Wacky Style. Between those two baits you’ll catch fish anywhere and under any condition.

[@future7944]

When I go fishing before I will watch this guy

[@owensvanda4607]

Can you do top 5 or 10 fav smallmouth lures

[@LSMTT00]

Yeah that would be pretty cool......

[@paulf.6429]

I don't know why "a scissors" and "a pliers" gets to me so much lmfao

[@mitchellwadel8596]

I’m glad I’m not the only one😂

[@Jon-rm9lf]

U need to have a scale at all times. I’m not going to be the guy to catch a pb and not be able to weigh it.

[@mdoutdoorsman6036]

Wait you fished the Susquehanna river. I fish that river every week I’m from MD

[@kennethboydsr3966]

Great show your a real pro!!!!

[@TheGhostMan8097]

In the susq. River, right by my house i fell down 20 feet of rocks and into the water, turned out i sprained my ankle and fractured my arm, still i cause out my white poseiden and caught a 12 pound musky

[@isaacdriedger1272]

You should do a vid on muddy water fishing!!

[@Kenarew]

I found my first Countdown too.

[@carifielding364]

I bought your swimbaits and I agree they are amazing

[@isntitobvious9894]

I always recommend hand sanitizer, I tend to touch my face, or when I'm smoking , or handling live bait. You don't want to rub potential parasites, amoebas, or nasty pond scum microbes in your eyes . Especially if you're trying out new areas, you don't know what could be in it sometimes .

[@elijahmcgeorge5198]

Hey Brendan will u do a googan bait review and great vid

[@grantquam6985]

19:49 I have caught lots of pike on those

[@DragRouteFishing]

find pliers that have line cutters and you won’t have to use scissors

[@bretsubotnik1777]

I would love to see you pike fishing,please do it

[@JohnJames.]

[@offroadfishing]

[@BleeBoy]

[@hollowidiot5208]

Fishing pet peeve a fish gets off the line and then you get your line tangled and have to cut it and retie and miss that fish

[@Adventure_Always]

Thanks bro!

[@waldensepicgames9458]

Do you work at a zip lining place in Colorado. Brendan Miller?

[@mickkidoTV]

i cant help but comment, if your favorite lure for pike is a storm pre rigd sunnie swimbait then u havnt even begun to tap into true pike fishing.. u r really missing out.

[@Skunkdman]
