Hey Scott, thanks so much man. Glad you enjoyed

[@jefftart6843]

Spinners have always been my go to but topwater has been killing it for me this year. Another great vid as always man keep it up

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching Jeff, topwater is and will probbaly always be my favorite way to fish, you can’t beat watching a fish eat on the surface!!!

[@JollyEfin]

I’ve been binge watching your videos lately! As a Christian and a fisherman I love your videos!! Such a humble guy. Keep it up!!

[@NASPELTZ]

Thank you so much :) that means a lot you enjoy the content

[@matttilley8620]

The drone shots are beautiful. The anticipation of seeing a fish hit the top water lure from that height made the shots even better. That would have been awesome.

[@NASPELTZ]

@nicstevens6499 I live in southern Minnesota by Rochester, but fish that area when I go for musky. I’ve fished spider quite a bit! I absolutely love Hayward. Been fishing it since I was a little kid, caught my first ever musky on lost land lake years ago and got hooked

[@Frankendude1]

I love fishing top water lures, nothing beats the splash when a nice fish goes for a bite! I've caught plenty of bass and pike on it but a top water musky still is on my bucket list

[@kittysnuggle]

@NASPELTZ I have a super awesome suggestion for some of the best fishing you'll ever experience. A lake in Montana called "Lake Koocanusa". To the south of the lake is a large dam. Fishing at 3 AM at the base of the dam catches some of the biggest lake trout ever. Using large spoons as lures.

[@anglerman969]

I love flaptails, you have to be patient working them and I’ve found the fish prefer them sllllloooowwww. Just my experience. What a beautiful lake, you’re living my dream! Love the content. Those drone shots are incredible

[@NASPELTZ]

Flap tails are sweet, this is my second year fishing musky so I’m still learning everything. I will slow it down from now on. Thanks so much. And I’m glad you like the drone shots. I was worried I may have overdone it with this video with so many shots but it defiantly keeps people entertained

[@sgangling]

Awesome video man. My favorite bait is my late Poppy's homemade spinner bait - "The Foxfire." It catches all kinds of fish + big muskies and I know he wouldnt want it any other way.

[@skyevanbakel9612]

My fav has always been a classic 5 of Diamonds spoon. Caught my PB Pike and Largemouth Bass on that one. Great vid, love the chill vibes!

[@NASPELTZ]

The 5 of diomonds has always been a great fish catcher, used to stand on shore and throw that all day at the Mississippi River. Great lure for catching just about everything

[@keithblount229]

The fish of ten thousand cast’s lived up to its name today. But what a beautiful fish!!! And that lake is absolutely gorgeous. I love to fish with flukes and swim baits, they are my go to baits. Thanks again Nathan for another awesome show. God bless and keep your lines tight. 👍🏻

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey Keith thanks so much for watching, flukes are one of my favorite baits to throw as well, a weightless white fluke works great around me for finicky bass

[@keithblount229]

@@NASPELTZ Absolutely 👍🏻 and I have really good luck with the green pumpkin.

[@Wisco_Angler]

Relaxing video like always! Been a big fan of the spook recently for smallies🙌

[@NASPELTZ]

Great choice of lure, the spook is awesome

[@lunadailylife88]

I’m amazed at how healthy all the crops look.

[@buschleaguebassin]

For me nothing beats a good 7-8” glide to bring em to the boat…converting em to bites is a whole other story lol

[@NASPELTZ]

You can’t beat a glide, they are tied with #1 for me, I love spooks just as much as glides. I’ve caught all my biggest fish on glides except for 1 and that was a spook. A 7 inch white glide works wonders on the lakes around me, your right a great bait for drawing fish in

[@angelakrapf2801]

Hello, my favorite bait is the XPS perch 4 inch Glide bait. The reason why I like it it's a amazing bait that's just got so many ways to fish that are all really effective for bass, musky, in northern pike. I found it because I saw one of your videos and decided to try it and now it is my favorite bait.

[@OldLadyAngler]

Wow, I'm amazed that you got a Musky to eat that baby submarine lure! What a beautiful lake to spend the day on. Minus the skeeters, of course! Some very cool drone shots! You'll get Emma on one during the next trip! That baby submarine lure is a bit more than I could throw but I'll tell you anyway that my current favorite lures to throw are the Bucca Bull Shad and the Savage Gear Hard 4 Play Swimbait. For some reason, the FL Largemouth just smash those lures. Makes for some real excitement on the water! Thanks for another great video.

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks for watching, I hope you enjoy your new camper. The lure was a cool one for sure, I’m just glad I got one to eat. I really hope I can get her on a fish too. I’ve fished the 4 play quite a bit and can tell you your right, the fish just absolutely love it. It’s a great lure for hungry bass. Thanks for watching :)

[@ryanbond3011]

My favourite lure to throw is always gonna be the medusa, doesn’t matter what size but i always enjoy seeing the action of it

[@NASPELTZ]

I love fishing them but just have never had any luck, I don’t usually use my livescope so maybe that’s it. Any tips for fishing them? I’d love to know more

[@drummer9049]

I’m starting to be a big glide bait guy they are just so fun to throw and going after the big ones is super fun

[@NASPELTZ]

Exactly, big glides are the ticket for big aggressive fish. Thanks for watching

[@BAITnSWITCHoutdoors]

Great video. The drown shots were amazing. I just recently found your channel and really like the content. My favorite lure is a regular double dawg but I like top water blowups as well.

[@sawyergeorgel9611]

Dude I just stated watching ur videos and to make it better you give a prize at the end of each video like the content got me hooked on musky fishing my favorite lure is the wacky warm can’t go wrong catch’s so many fish

[@NASPELTZ]

I always like to give back to the people who allow me to make the videos. It’s a win win, i get comments from people who wouldn’t usually comment and then I get to know what fish people like to see caught, what lures people like fishing with that I can use for videos, or just more about other types of fishing that people do, and in return someone wins a lure. It’s always nice to get an email back when someone receives the lure about how happy they are or how many fish they have caught on it. Thanks for the comment. It means a lot you watch the videos

Weedless skirted pitching lure with either black craw for murky water and white spin tail for clear water. Nothing beats that for me.

[@larsenthrons7204]

Our Northen Pike season has just started here in Europe, but I have managed to get me some Red October Ninja 7"5 tubes. Shallow rigged and with a spinnerblade on the end treble hook has already gotten me a whole bunch of fish! The pike love them here :)

[@FitzFB]

Jack hammer because imma bass fisherman but im starting to get into pike and im sure Muskie won’t be too far out I love your vids and you always manage to catch a monster!!

[@VirgilCopeland-q7o]

Excellent very cool lure .I make lures similar . Something fish dont see all the time. Excellent work.

[@axemanfishing2703]

Small lure TIP for MUSKY. EMA could try using Mepps Aglia Size 5 Silver/Red-White with or without bucktail. I caught MANY Musky with this lure in Canada and my largest musky ever which was 50+ inches. Ive used slow and fast retrieve and also even jerk it every 4th turn to turn fish into eaters.

[@RyanK-le1hu]

10-9 bucktail for me!! I love fishing rivers in Wisconsin, and I think it is a really good bait in heavy current. Still gotta love giant top-waters in Minnesota lakes though Great video - keep casting!!

[@NASPELTZ]

I love fishing rivers as well. I’m looking to explore some small river stuff for musky this summer. Just got to find where to start. Bucktails never fail, I’d say they are one of the best if not the best lure for musky. It’s also fun to see what else they will catch, I was fishing Mille lacs on opener with a double 8 blade cowgirl and caught a 6 pound smallie on it haha

[@RyanK-le1hu]

Funny you say that, because I seem to pick up a few smallies on my buck-tails as well. Nothing close to 6 pounds though. I haven’t got the chance to fish Mille lacs for musky yet, I guess I’m just too addicted to rivers. I am looking to find a few new rivers as well. A good place to start is by looking for rivers that come out of major musky lakes, or there is a very good spreadsheet online of Wisconsin managed musky waters. Good luck fishing this year, I always enjoy watching your videos!!

[@MikeYurbasovich]

Your casting accuracy is excellent.

[@NASPELTZ]

Every once in a while I land it in a tree thou lol

[@LunkersWithLehr]

My top musky lure of all time is a single 7 bucktail. If you are going to keep fishing with Emma she will thank you if you buy a Thermocell. Its a butane powered bug repellant. Should repel about 75% of the bugs in your boat.

[@merktv9591]

My go too is top water!!! Great video

[@maximilianbush7428]

My favorite fly is a simple resin head minnow with senyos Lazer dub and realistic eyes. Only an inch long. Every fish lives a small minnow

[@T-r3xxxx]

Im a new viewer and I wanted to say your very good at fishing

[@T-r3xxxx]

I just happened to catch my pb Muskie 2 weeks ago

[@tomdietz1777]

Favorite lure to fish is the Lake X Fat Bastard topwater. Hands down the most consistent surface lure I've ever thrown!

[@NASPELTZ]

One of my favorites as well, I fished it a little in the last musky video. The sound it makes is just so nice. I’ve yet to catch one on it but I’m hoping it’s coming soon

[@NASPELTZ]

Haha it’s not in Minnesota that’s all I can say, I don’t like to gatekeep but I’ve seen what happens to spots I fish once people find out about them. Goes from a gorgeous fishery to a spot filled with dead fish and trash everywhere. Sad to see. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@Nodakhuntz]

[@NASPELTZ]

You can’t be a topwater, thanks for watching man!!!

[@Nodakhuntz]

@@NASPELTZ ofc !

[@Triple87]

Awesome video. My favourite lure is, and will probably always be a spinnerbait. Although, jerkbaits are also right up there. My Pb pike, and large mouth both came on a spinnerbait, and my pb smallie came on a jerkbait. Hard not to like those two types of lures. 😂

[@NASPELTZ]

Two of the best lures out there, I love fishing grassy areas with a spinnerbait for pike and bass. Jerkbaits are a great lure for smallies, if you like jerkbaits you have to try split plastic flukes, rig them weightless and you will catch so many big smallies. Thats my favorite way to fish em, that and spooks

[@bobvila5367]

16:48 dishes out a beaver shower lol (hard to avoid with this great bait!)

[@espanolaangler5634]

Custom Glide Baits are my favourite for specificly river muskies

Im running out of options so im asking this here, Im a newbie on baitcasting and casting rods, but I ordered a st croix legend tournament pike which is 20-80 grams test, would DAIWA 21 STEEZ LIMITED SV TW 1000HL be okay with it? Im fishing for northern pike in Europe, huge thanks to anyone who answers

Ya that should work well for it

[@Fidzo938]

I never cought a muskie but if i could, i would go on a search for it 😁

Did you measure the bigger one? Looked like a nice low to mids 40" class fish. If not, that's cool to. I respect a quick release. Musky are a delicate fish that need to be taken care of. I love northern wisconsin, I have a cabin up there and fish around the hayward area all the time. The scenery is sick, and the great fisheries are just a bonus!

[@NASPELTZ]

I was so hoping she would too, I’d much rather net her fish than catch my own. I think if I take her to the right lake and get her lure in front of a fish it’s going to happen. The first thing is teaching her to use a bsitcaster, I can’t have her hooking a giant on a spinning rod. Or if anything I’ll have to get her a super heavy spinning setup for musky.

Good job with the vid. Was the water tannic? Cool to see that white lure turn orange in the water. Like the drone footage. It would be cool to see it not as high and actually watch a strike from above. Appreciate the work you put into these. 1 Cor 10:31

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching, I’m looking into ordering a smaller drone that is quieter. If the drone I use now was lower you would hear the sound of the drone and I think it would be quite annoying sadly. I’ll look into smaller drone to use and film with to get an eat on camera!

[@davenchop]

16:15 right after musky release its completely overcast and then its completely sunny no clouds on next frame... ???

[@NASPELTZ]

A lot of the time I filmed different parts of the video at different parts of the day, or I will mix stuff up to make the video make more sense, so in the video it might look like it changed weather suddenly but in reality that part of the video was filmed hours before or after the catch, I usually fish all morning and then do all the talking points later in the day and just add them in

She’s a big girl, if she doesn’t like it she will tell me. I would never put her through anything she didn’t want to do. And if she was cold she wouldn’t be laying in the back of the boat tanning for two hours in the hot sun. It was cold in the morning, come around mid day it was hot and sunny. I stopped fishing and filming for 2-3 hours so she could relax and enjoy a beautiful summer day laying in the sun where there was no bugs.
