I appreciate that there is no music in the background. Just real fishing, real knowledge being spoken.

[@EverythingOllie-2]

There was a little music at 1 point

[@NASPELTZ]

@everythingollie9677 ya but not loud music over what I’m saying, just some relaxing music during the drone footage and such

[@NASPELTZ]

How was the audio for this video? I had to talk a little louder than usual to put my voice over the sound of the water coming down the dam, on a scale of 1-10 what would you rate it?

[@keithblount229]

10 sounds great 👍🏻

[@Path_runner]

9 it was pretty good

[@nickswirski4867]

I could hear every word easily… love the sound of the water in the dam!

[@RandomStuff-cz2iy]

Im a 13 year old fisherman from Finland and mostly fish for pike and my goal is to learn precise throws with a bait caster :)

[@DomPhat-v9q]

And you will.

[@jrupcich]

The editing is spectacular. The cuts away to you from a distance and drone shots really add to experience. Excellent job.

What power cord, mic and power source do you use to connect to your gopro to keep it powered ?

[@sammouanoutoua]

I figured it was you I saw at Thorne the other day. Thanks for stopping by the shop!

[@NASPELTZ]

I had been planing to stop by sometime and decided to make the trip up there to get some new lures for videos. Bought a bumblebee manta glide there and already put two fish in the net!

[@tonyb3858]

Great video hoping to catch my PB tiger musky this year

[@laurieharper1526]

Really appreciate your presentation and style of fishing. Understated and knowledgeable. A nice change from all the whooping and hollering ("BIG muskie, dude", etc) one encounters on so many videos. Nice fish, too. Atb.

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much, I’m glad you like this style of content. I hope you have a great rest of your day Laurie

[@markhorton1718]

I just got home from a fishing trip in Southwest Virginia for Smallmouth. I had a beautiful Musky follow my jig to the bank, the first one I have ever seen in real life. This video has really inspired me to give em a try next time I go there.

[@Fatenarr]

Your persistence is admirable

[@NASPELTZ]

Thank you :)

[@groundfog]

My goal is musky on the fly. Fun to see you fishing local with Matt. 🔥

@@NASPELTZ That would be awesome. If I ever get a chance to come up there I’ll let you know. God bless you brother. 😃🙏🏼👍🏻

[@OldLadyAngler]

Nice video Nathan. I was SO sure that a giant was going to NAIL that 14" bait. The Musky you landed was a beauty! Also, nice job on your cuts in the video. It was nice to have the different angles (viewpoints). My big goal for 2024 is to land my very first Musky when I'm up in Maine for the summer. I tried last year. Fished the St. John River that borders USA / Canada. All I caught were smallmouth but it was still a fun adventure. I'll go back to that river but will try to find a campground and spend a week up there so I have more time. Thanks for sharing.

[@pauldockins9635]

Totally wonderful content, and scenery.🎣☦️

Goal for 2024: try Muskie fishing. They fish just north of where I live in North Webster Indiana. Want to give it a try!! Cheers, Mark

[@anthonypierson6726]

My goal is to catch my first muskie and to possibly be the first black fisherman to record a muskie catch on video!!

[@NASPELTZ]

Heck ya man, I can’t wait to see it happen. I’m hyped for you to get one

[@bullgravy6906]

I was thinking there’s no way a black man hasn’t been recorded catching a Muskie, then I realized this is the first video I’ve ever watched of Muskie fishing and nothing was caught so it became way more believable. Hope you land, or have already landed that trophy Muskie!

[@NASPELTZ]

@@bullgravy6906 what do you mean nothing was caught? I caught a Muskie in this video 😂

[@bullgravy6906]

@@NASPELTZI’m a tool I jumped to about 3/4 the way through 😂 I always assume the videos end on a catch

@bullgravy6906 😂😂😂 I usually put mine in front of the video so people don’t gotta watch the whole video for the catch, not everyone got time for that lol

[@jackomalley9613]

Where do get the pistol like grip for your fishing rods. Like the one you used in this video

[@22gonefishing]

Takes dedication to toss the same bait all day, but the reward for a fish going after that bait would be awesome. Cheers to your cameraman, that's great she will hang out filming with you while you're fishing all day.

[@NASPELTZ]

The grind pays off after a while when one bites, sadly never got one on the big bait but I tried my best. And yes haha, she doesn’t really know how to use the camera but she sure is great at holding it lol. It’s more fun with her around, I wanted her to fish but she didn’t have her Wisconsin license and I haven’t taught her how to use a baitcaster yet

[@williambaker1753]

I've never hooked into a mushy. I've hooked some nice pike in Canada. I recently moved to Virginia and on the upper James river there's a river that runs into it called the New River it's close to West Virginia and it looks beautiful from the pictures I look at online it's the only river in the state that holds musky. I've always wanted to go to Minnesota and go musky fishing one day I will take my daughter there and hopefully she will hook her first fish of 10,000 casts. Great video I look at it the same way when I go to a place and don't catch a trophy I appreciate the scenery and the time spent on the water.

[@NASPELTZ]

I hope you catch a musky soon, when the fish is slow it really lets you appreciate the gorgeous scenery and places you are at. Tight lines man. Thanks so much for watching

[@Waresdom]

Great video and patience. I'm hoping to get my first musky on a lake we just moved to. I hear there are monsters there. Good luck with your year!

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Great video man! I love too catch a Musky but...in the Netherlands i only can catch a pike on the ERC Hellhounds. New PB pike will be nice too catch! Greets Robert

[@coldvoid7579]

Netherlands has great pike though! I like using European pike lures for Wisconsin musky. They are usually designed really well

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

@@coldvoid7579 Nice too hear that!

[@dmbfid80]

You just got another subscriber! Great job on the videos. Also love the hellhound… I remember throwing the prototype of that bait about 20 years ago on Lake Kincaid. So fun when they come out of nowhere and destroy it.

[@NASPELTZ]

I’m in love with the hellhound, I’ll for sure be fishing it a lot again soon. Thanks so much for watching

[@jimbopetrella]

I fished a bunch of muskie tournaments on Kincaid what a lake! Think I might even have a couple trophies from there

[@lukeslemmer]

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.

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching Luke, that’s a great goal and I hope you accomplish it this year

[@lukeslemmer]

@@NASPELTZ hope you get that 50" muskie!

[@NASPELTZ]

@lukeslemmer we will see

[@NASPELTZ]

St.croix legend tournament musky

[@shammi8133]

Biggest Musky I have ever seen was Lake St. Clare. It was at a spot they call the dumping grounds. It's where the dredging were dumped. It was sunning it self as we drifted past in our 16 foot rowboat. Was about 25 years ago, I actually thought it was a dead sturgeon at first.

[@LunkersWithLehr]

I had never watched your videos before. Then we talked for a second in person at this spot. Then youtube started suggesting all your videos. Creepy but I subbed! Lots of better dams in that area but with that current, it was the best choice.

[@NASPELTZ]

100% agree the current is what made me choose that dam, I’m currently at a differnt one right now and doing pretty well also. That is wierd that KZbin suggested the videos 😂

[@kittysnuggle]

CRAPPY AND MUSKY. Whoever nicknamed these fish is hilarious.

[@brianweiland8275]

Great video man! I always learn watching your videos. I spent 6 days fishing 13+ hours a day at St. Lawrence river and had follows and a couple get off so I would say my 2024 goal is to land my first musky

[@ephraim1080]

The waters looked terrible is it where the people dumped theirs scrapped metal?

[@waltgr6470]

Thank you for taking us along. Just subscribed. Question, why did you wait 4-5 hours before switching lures, especially since you said you had never not gotten a bite on the white glide bait. Thanks again for taking us along.

[@NASPELTZ]

Honestly when I shore fish I don’t usually bring to many lures with me since I would have to drag them everywhere. So I just stick with it and keep casting

[@waltgr6470]

@@NASPELTZ Thank you for the fast reply.

[@NASPELTZ]

@waltgr6470 absolutely

[@minnesotanice1223]

First, great video! Love the content. It was personally a great throw back for me. I caught my first Muskie below that damn many years ago. I actually caught it on an Antique lure from the 1930's. A frog pattern South Bend Whirl-O-Reno top water bait. Good memories. Keep up the good content. Be careful on the tracks up there.

[@NASPELTZ]

Thank you so much for watching, I’m glad you caught fish there. It’s a great spot with a good number of fish. I’ll make sure I’m careful on the tracks!!
