Fishing GIANT LURES Pays Off With Multiple MUSKY!

[@NASPELTZ]

Bible Verse of the day: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.” 1 John 3: 1-3

Y’all know how catfish always put up a good fight one time me and my dad went fishing my dad hooked it right in the eye he was battling it for about 20 minutes and won. We don’t like catfish so we threw it back sure or not he catches the same catfish again but when he goes to go get it just wiggles right back into the water after getting the hook off lol

[@drexler1168]

My biggest was an 18in large mouth bass in a private pond

[@keithblount229]

Amen brother 🙏🏼

[@keithvance9925]

Great video! By far my two favorite fishing channels are you and NDYAK Angler. Just love how you guys respect the sport, the fish themselves, and how you capture the nature around you. As far as my biggest fish this year, it's just over a 3 lb largemouth on a frog. I haven't been able to get out like I normally do because of a herniated disc in my back, but I'm healing and I'm back in my yak again! Thanks for putting out another quality video!

[@NASPELTZ]

Hey thanks so much, Matt is an amazing guy, if you haven’t seen our videos together you would love them, I have one I posted earlier this month where we caught 12 musky in one day kayaking together, it’s defiantly worth a watch. I appreciate the support it means a lot

[@NASPELTZ]

Sorry to hear about the disc in your back, I hope you can get out soon and catch some big ones

[@edgarorozco491]

Crazy how you guys both hooked onto the same fish, such a gold piece in your video, other guy had a story to tell, felt like he seen a loch Ness monster on that 6 pound line 😂😂

[@NASPELTZ]

I would think it was the Loch Ness monster too if I hooked him on 6 pound 😂😂😂, I saw his bait he had on and just smiled right away, crazy to see that happen, we both have a good story to tell and I’m just glad it’s on video otherwise no one would believe me lol

[@shorthairdude417]

Haven’t been out since hardwater season so nothing big yet. Living not too far from Rochester myself has its fishing limits as far as traveling to good water. Spending hours musky fishing I’ve the years one tip I can give you thou is with lure retrieval is change up lure direction by swinging your rod tip left to right sometimes will trigger bites. Giving prop baits and others a zig zag movement coming back to boat. Always playing keep away. Great videos and positive attitude!

[@NASPELTZ]

Thank you so much for the tips, I will try that Tommorow on Minnesota musky opener. As someone who also lives in Rochester it’s a pain to drive to good waters haha. Other than the sippi, Chester, and a few ponds and small lakes we don’t have much options around us. Thanks for the comment and for watching

[@lilufoo]

Walking into the water with socks and hey dudes is crazy

[@keithblount229]

Once again another great video by my favorite fisherman. Thank you so much Nathan. Keep em coming brother. God bless. 🙏🏼

Great video! Just started watching your videos over the last few days while on holiday. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@trantorthetroll1291]

Largest fish this year (and lifetime largest) was a 34 Inch Northern Pike off my kayak Memorial Day weekend. I was, and typically do, target(ing) Bass but lucked upon this one. I will definitely be going after more Pike after this, so fun getting pulled around in a kayak by a big fish! Keep the great videos coming!

[@ericwakeman6665]

Great vid man I’ve learned a lot watching you work a glide. Biggest fish I’ve gotten so far this season was a fish of a lifetime… 27” resident brown trout in the river I grew up fishing!

[@NASPELTZ]

that is incredible, a brown that big is amazing, especially in a body of water you grew up fishing which is even better. congrats!!!

[@AndrewFishman]

Great stuff. Nice to see a mix of shore and boat fishing. Nice fish from both :) Well done, again, mate.

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much Andrew, I always like to fish em differnt ways and sometimes you just can’t beat a nice day shore fishing, thanks for watching as always

[@EkimG]

Wisconsin opener was this past weekend, we leave the weekends to people that work, being retired has benefits. My fishing buddy and I went out on the Fox River by Green Bay on Tuesday and Wednesday. A 36" musky and a northern about 28" was all we caught. There has been a lot of rain here. Green Bay had 3 1/2" of rain. The water was very muddy way out into the bay even. But it was a couple of good days fishing.

[@Connor-zb4uo]

miss the wisco musky fishing, I had to move away

[@NASPELTZ]

I was out on opener day in this video, was a blast. I’ve never fished the fox river but I’ve heard it’s awesome. Rain has made the fishing pretty bad in most areas I fish. Good luck next time you go out

Muskie opener Saturday 😄

[@NASPELTZ]

I’m so excited

[@thomasschlemmer607]

Great video Nathan, glad to see you got the girlfriend out for a bit, so far this year the biggest fish I’ve caught has been a 22 inch 5lb catfish, good luck on your next trip out!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@NASPELTZ]

It was a blast with the girlfriend, I’m just happy she Finnaly caught her first musky. A 22 inch catfish is a beauty congrats, I hope you catch some fish on your next outing. Thanks for watching Thomas

[@andyprest]

Nice video well done to you both, a first musky too 👍👍 biggest fish this season was a 14" battered haddock with my chips

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much for watching, and that sure sounds like a tasty fish haha

[@markvankoughnet1236]

nice video! my biggest fish this year is a modest 3.12 lb smallmouth bass. 20 inches long. Lake St. Clair. I've only been out a couple times so far this year. tight lines brother

[@NASPELTZ]

That is amazing, any bass over 3 pounds is always a treat. Congrats

Biggest fish I’ve gotten so far was a 26” Bowfin. Love the vids man

Nice Video ! My Biggest fish this year was a 10in perch, still waiting on the musky opener out here.

[@NASPELTZ]

A 10 inch perch is a giant, I hope you catch some big ones on opener

[@kevinlavery6194]

Biggest fish so far is a 17 inch smallmouth. I've never caught a muskie. Would love to catch one some day. Love your videos!

[@NASPELTZ]

A 17 inch smallie is a big one, congrats. Musky are a hard to catch fish and sometimes you just have to put in the work. I’m sure if you went out and spent some time targeting them, you would do amazing. Thanks for watching

[@gregoryjohnson1317]

Something to think about, throw bigger lures for bass and you may be surprised by a nice muskie

[@dougweir441]

Years ago i was fishing a river(wading) in central Iowa for walleyes and i hooked a 40" musky that a guy had just lost on shore. Took out both jigs and released.

[@ronl7131]

Fish the drops….I’ve snorkeled & scuba dived along drop offs in many Wisconsin lakes. Amazing how many lunkers still lurk around the drops.

[@FSfishing44]

Love muskys, biggest fish for me is a 33 incher. Hopefully bigger with my new lure...

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s amazing, I hope you get a giant this year with the lure ;)

[@mjbrophy01]

What tools do you use for hook removal or cutting? Didn't see it in the links. Thanks! Great video!

[@NASPELTZ]

Your right I’m so sorry I didn’t put in in there. I use a Joe butcher bolt/hook cutter, and a rapala 9 inch salt angler hook remover

[@mjbrophy01]

No need to apologize! Appreciate the reply! Thank you for the info and look forward to the next video!

[@Smiththebat]

45” Muskie. Ontario in the Kawarthas. Honestly though I don’t have the set up for that bait. Next set up I get is a big swimbait setup! 🤙🤙

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s a giant, I would say a bigger setup is needed for lures this size. I hope you can get one soon and test your luck with bigger lures. Big fish sure do love big baits… and so do the little ones lol

[@stringinglax7112]

My biggest fish this year was a 6 pond bass on a waky rig!

cool muskie fishing!

[@NASPELTZ]

Thanks so much

[@TwilightTrip00]

Keep up the great content! I’m a Shimano fan boy but I’ve really been thinking about giving Piscifun a try, your setups seem to handle those big baits and fish well. My biggest of the year is a zero pounder lol because unfortunately I haven’t been out this summer yet.

[@NASPELTZ]

I have a shimano Calcutta conquest as well I use for big baits but honestly, I rarely ever even use it. I fell in love with these piscifun reels mainly because they work awesome and are pretty darn cheap for a big bait reel. I was always worried about setting my Calcutta down on rock and what not. The piscifun reel gets the job done just as well as the Calcutta, of course it’s not nearly as nice of a real or built as well, but that’s to be expected when it’s 1/8 the price haha. Still catches fish and that’s all that matters. Thanks so much for watching :)

[@NASPELTZ]

Also sorry to hear you haven’t been out yet, I hope you catch a big fish when you get out :)

[@TwilightTrip00]

@@NASPELTZ Do you mind sharing your favorite setup for big baits? Reel/rod/line

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s what I like to hear, don’t see many 4+ fish outta the Zumbro, lotta lengthy ones but rarely fat

[@kitluedtke]

Excellent video as always. How do you like the pistol grip on the Legend rod? Not sure if I would like it in all situations. Thoughts?

[@NASPELTZ]

Honestly I was worried I wouldn’t like it, took me a few days of fishing to get used to it but now. I would never go back. Great for your hands, holding the rod normally usually makes my wrist hurt after a few hours of casting, but holding onto the pistol grip doesn’t make it hurt at all

[@brennermyers1269]

Caught a big northern on a crankbait great wi catch!

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s awesome, snot rockets sure do love cranks haha

[@LunkersWithLehr]

We hit a lot of similar water! I like small water. My biggest fish this season is a 42.5 on a glide.

[@NASPELTZ]

That is incredible, happy to hear you caught a nice fish. Small water and remote bodies of water are by far my favorite. I really like small creek musky fishing

[@LunkersWithLehr]

I have some creek musky videos!

[@NASPELTZ]

@LunkersWithLehr I’ll go give em a watch tonight

[@owenkunkle6245]

Been working a bunch so the biggest fish is 14 inch crappie. Hard water was 26 inch walleye.

[@NASPELTZ]

That’s a big crappie and walleye, congrats. It’s hard to find time away from work to get out, you got any local spots you can hit after or before work, Or just for days off?

[@Gkc1231]

Naspeltz can you tell me who makes that first white 8” glide you snagged the pike on? As always great video.

[@NASPELTZ]

It’s the bass pro swerve, I think they call it a 7 inch glide but I measured it from front to end of tail and it’s 8, they are $17 and work awesome, just swap the hooks

[@muskybites505]

Use the manta in current. No longer glides from any glider, class of it’s own.

[@NASPELTZ]

I 100% agree, I absolutely love it. I fish it on the Mississippi River for pike and in the current it makes some amazing glides back and forth, great bait for pike and even bass I’ve had eat them. It’s becoming my new favorite lure

What is the white glider called that you use?

[@codygostovich6578]

What glide bait is that? Can’t beat that action!!

[@NASPELTZ]

The white glide or the bubble bee, white is a bass pro swerve, there around $17 and the manta is linked in bio, not affiliated with either company in any way I bought em myself I just like em enough I always recommend them to others. Super cheap and work awesome

[@sgangling]

Sweet video. Can I ask how you rig up your audio? Is that an external lapel mic or is it connected to your gopro?

[@NASPELTZ]

I have it connected to an external audio recorder usually, either the zoom f1 or a rode wireless pro. Both work great. I have the mic at the front and the cord for it going to the back to the recorder which I have connected with 60 pound braid haha

[@NASPELTZ]

Haha I totally understand where your coming from but light setups are not good for musky, letting them fight can actually stress them out and can kill them, it’s better to get them in fast and back in the water fast. Musky arn’t about the fight but about the challenge. As much fun as it would be to let them fight it’s just not good for them
