no sus brother but your voice is majestic. Also, wild video.

[@NASPELTZ]

I’m glad you added the no sus first 😂😂😂 thanks for watching, and I’m glad you enjoyed!

[@matthewkarels5378]

Fellow Minnesota fisherman here. The area I fish in is known for monster pike! The spot I mainly fish is where we have fished for years, it is where we have caught several 40inch pike. My grandpa recently had back surgery and I would love to take him there again. These lures would really help us. Great content, love your vids!

[@BIGGAMEHUNTING1]

Imagine your just fishing the playground then all of the sudden you just see a 45 inch pike going down the slide 😂

[@NASPELTZ]

That would be absolutely nuts haha

Here's a good one... Luke 14:26. It's the one that says if you're not a hateful SOB, then you can't be a disciple of Jesus. I was also always fond of Ezekial 25:17, although Samuel L Jackson quoted it best.

[@doxfire]

I've been hitting the flooded areas every weekend, it's wild to catch fish in places that well they shouldn't be in, salute from one Minnesotan to another!

[@cadenknoepke2784]

Everything from scenery to great fishing, waterfalls and painted rocks, giant smallmouth and tons of walleye, and the occasional big northern or Muskie

[@outdoorsld5376]

I can already tell this is gonna be just as good as the older playground video.

Hey man I don’t know if you’re going to see this but your videos have helped me a lot lately. I never knew my dad so I had no one to teach me about fishing but I have been always into it and recently your videos have got me out of my comfort zone and I started fishing with my friends. Thank you❤

[@NASPELTZ]

That is amazing, the great thing about fishing is you can do it anytime anywhere and with anyone. I’m glad you have friends who like to go out fishing, even as a beginner it’s still a blast to watch that bobber go down or feel the bite with a lure man, I appreciate the support and I’m glad you enjoyed.

[@gradystemper2995]

@@NASPELTZ what town is it in

[@Rthomp02]

I always love watching people fish non-traditional fishing spots. Especially as a fellow Minnesota I know that it’s so easy to go to your favorite hall and catch whatever you know is there. But fishing from a playground is next level.

[@NASPELTZ]

Gotta do something different, it’s not everyday you can go out and fish a playground haha. I’m just glad I found some fish that wanted to bite

[@AnglingAnarchy]

Pure craziness man! Love watching this stuff, keep up the good work!

[@NASPELTZ]

I’m glad you enjoyed :)

[@LoOutdoors]

Dannnnnng back to the spot that changed your life on here! Love to see it! Such a cool area during the floods haha

[@chrimsouton]

1 year during ice, the vehicle traffic had destroyed the ice at the ramp, and we had to wade through knee-deep water to get onto 22" of good ice. It was unnerving, to say the least. But we caught over 100 fish between 2 people, so it was worth it in the end. Awesome day, great memories!

[@ravenssportsvideos1538]

Love the video as always, my favorite spot to fish is at my grandparents house around a little island on the lake, lots of big bass. keep up the great content!

[@brandonclark3570]

Love this refreshing take on life and fishing. Very peaceful

[@iShredpoop123]

My favorite is a river about an hour away from me, wading with me buddies and doubling up on absolute chunk smallmouth. We don't get to go as often anymore but I always cherish the times we get to meet up and go together. Love the vibes and videos man!

[@NASPELTZ]

That place sounds awesome, big smallies are so fun. I’m glad you enjoyed the video it means a ton.

[@22gonefishing]

Nice video, good to see you both catching some fish and lets see more flooded playground videos.

[@NASPELTZ]

I’ll try my best to get more out :)

[@northern_game1442]

Awesome to see other people fishing these flooded parks out here in Minnesota! I just went fishing at a flooded baseball field last week and caught a little sturgeon

[@NASPELTZ]

That is so crazy, I was tired of waiting for the water to go down haha

[@TristenHarris777]

The craziest I've ever fished is a outlet for a powerplant. The plant cools its turbines with this lakewater and then pumps it out hot down a channel. The channel cat and some largies liked to hang in there because the water was consistently warm all year round. I enjoy the casts where nothing happens Its meditative, and is very peaceful to watch. Also helps me to recognize how you are angling structure that I can use as context when I fish.

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoy the casts, that spot sounds so cool

[@Johnkilbury]

Hey brother, been watching the videos for three years now loving your channel still the craziest place I ever fished was a pond covered with weeds to the point where I couldn’t see any water through the popping frog around caught a three pounder

[@Vissenbijdewaterkant]

Great video! I think when i was young in a swimming pool!

Thanks bro

[@mikeyliscinsky]

My craziest fishery is a freshwater creek that extends for a few miles and has a few large body’s of water along the creek, the creek then drops off a waterfall into the salt water which opens windows to all different kinds of species

[@NASPELTZ]

That place sounds incredible, thanks so much for sharing. Multi species is always fun

I just got back from fishing in the Carribean, was unreal!! Never seen water so clear in my life

[@groundfog]

That would be such a unique experience! I fished a cattle pond stocked with trout years ago and it had a crazy topwater bite with micro crankbaits. Those fish would do cartwheels smashing those lures. Definitely a cherished memory.

[@scooterduren]

Great video and I like that I can sit back and relax with the length of the video. Keep them coming ‼️ love fishing the pond right in front of the house, they are always hungry

[@NASPELTZ]

Local ponds are always the best, I have a small local lake I fish all the time and just don’t film. It’s nice to have a hidden gem so close to you. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@scooterduren]

@@NASPELTZ I’m moving from FL to MN soon so I will be looking for my new hidden gem and I’m excited the search

[@Zach.Michaelson]

Keep up the hard work! Love your videos man!

[@jaceserres461]

Saw this video and later that day ended up fishing in the same spot. I just moved to the area and had no idea where this was filmed so you can imagine my surprise when I went out looking for places to fish and stumbled upon this place I was like “What the heck! I just saw this!” Nice video!

[@Felix374-mf5qg]

My craziest freshwater fishery that I fished was 100 foot deep granite pond where it was loaded with massive fish and an every cast you would catch one! And in about five minutes, I was able to catch three bass and four bluegill!

[@Swordact1202]

I love the content man one of the reasons why I got into fishing and I love how calm it is

[@319_Fishing]

Craziest fishery Ive ever fished would be one of my local lakes. In the evening it gets a crazy wiper bite going. The water starts boiling with wipers picking off shad! Absolutely incredibly fun when that happens to catch 3-5 lb wipers on light tackle!

[@Keviebear86]

There is a river within a two hour drive that can be fished year round for musky. In my area it's too hot in the summer, but this river has consistent 60-70 degree water. I love it!

[@jw6911]

Always enjoy the vids!

[@NASPELTZ]

[@coldvoid7579]

Bowfin are so under appreciated. Definitely one of the coolest and hardest fighting fish around

[@NASPELTZ]

Bowfin are one of my favorite fish to target, always willing to eat a bit bait or topwater

[@coldvoid7579]

@@NASPELTZ One of the coolest strikes I ever had was a bowfin that stalked and striked my wapper plopper right at my feet. Just the other day I had one follow my glide bait all the way to shore and then it just looked at me for a while. Lol Definitely a cool fish

[@BikerX914]

I love fishing this one spot on my boat that is like covered in like branches all around! It’s really hard to get back there, but the fishing is great! And love the video😊

[@NASPELTZ]

That spot sounds amazing, thanks for watching. I got a spot like that on the river that my buddy and I get to with his Jon boat

[@mythicaldragonplays6570]

First of all, i love musky and pike fishing and those baits would help out on my journey, but my craziest story was when i was fishing on a river and the dam was open so the current was strong and i set up my boat against a log out of the water and i tried to move away but the current hit me against the tree and i fell in 😂, and that is also the best fishery i know, god is great!

[@jefftart6843]

Been an interesting few weeks trying to fish with all the flooding. Glad to see you’re still finding fish. Got to fish right under some dams last year when the water was lower, did have some pretty nice fish underneath.

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s awesome, I’ve found some nice fish doing the same thing, it’s crazy how much water we got the last month

[@bluegillie]

Craziest place I’ve fished is right below a dam on the Mississippi. So many fish, and quite the variety!

[@alladventurecapitol]

What an awesome video I love that setting. Great job! The craziest setting or area where I caught fish was at an urban area under highways and freeways.

[@BalisongFlipzz]

Man you're so blessed to be able to do this stuff. Love the options of fishing you have haha. It's very limited in my area sadly but gotta make the best of it

[@NASPELTZ]

My area can be very limited as well, I usually have to travel 3+ hours to chase species I love like musky, but I make the best out of it. Thanks so much for watching

LOL Cool video brotha! Craziest fish story I have has got to be here in Colorado when one of our main rivers flooded into some of the riverside businesses the year before last 😂 Literally floating around on the kayak casting for some top water largies! That has to take the cake for one of my most unusual fish stories ha at least in recent memory. Love the channel man! Keep up the great content.

Lots of nice little Pike! Wow... you're going to put in some serious time at that flooded playground. Craziest place I fish is down in the Everglades. There are SO many Bass down there. You just have to weed through the alligators! Thanks for another great video.

[@NASPELTZ]

The Everglades is so cool, I’ve fished there a few times and always had a blast. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@txzyeeted3941]

I saw the vid last time it was flooded. I still can't get over the whole flooded thing because i was camping at the campground there a few years ago, and it was completely fine.

[@Lawrenceillmanna]

Never in my life would I think that enough fish would move up to the flooded waters that were actually catchable off of playground. That’s an insanely cool eerie vibe n spot , would definitely want to fish that park with someone like u vro super fire super lit. 💯🔥 My gf likes your bible verses as well in the video . ✝️🙏

I fished a pond and I caught multiple big bass out of it and the biggest one was a 4 1/2 pound largemouth out of it and I think that is the best bodie of water I have fished in a while. I liked the video and I love your content you make my day😊

[@plhauslein]

Just found your channel. I enjoyed this video. Im up the river a bit in SC. Can't say i fished in any really crazy spots. Looking for gills on Sunday. Found them all in just one place on the whole lake. Right off a swim platform in 15 ft off the bottom. 8-9 inchers.

[@NASPELTZ]

Don’t know if that’s an actual place or you telling me you don’t catch fish 😂😂😂

[@marcingola505]

@NASPELTZ Yeah it's an actual place. People started calling this place like that because it's hard to catch a fish and it rhymes with skunk. Ironically it also holds a NJ state record for musky catch🙂

[@manchakofthenorth]

When I was a kid, I fished a little beaver pond attached to a much larger lake. The pond was about 24” above the lake level and full of downed trees. Didn’t catch anything, but it had at least one 36” pike in it… never did catch it.

[@NASPELTZ]

That is so cool, even if you didn’t catch any it’s still such a cool place. I hope you can catch that big pike in the future

[@JohnC34344]

I used to fish this pond that was filled with grass and always covered in scum. The only thing you could throw was a frog. This place was loaded with big aggressive bass. It was my favorite place to fish till they filled in half of it.

[@short_anola3531]

Same body of water as you are fishing just a few states south on the map, greatest multi species bag I've ever caught... Just great

[@GusGusGames]

The craziest place I have fished is a flooded borrow pit it is 60 feet deep and has bass, crappie, pickerel, and more but there are rotten trees as structure still in the ground around the entire thing and the bass are SUPER aggressive and will eat top water mid day on a 90 degree day.
