Mail Call - Fishing Home Made Lures Sent By A Fan

Trying some home made lures sent to me by a fellow river fisherman. Thank you Steven for letting me test your lures on some Minnesota smallmouth!

Youre like the bob ross of fishing

How would he not. Heck, even I’m blushing ☺️ 😊

Steve, you better start Mass producing your lures...👍

Dude, that buzz stick! Chatter up front.. they hit it hard! Great job Steven!

I'm not super aware of fishing news and stuff of that sorts, whose Steven

[@glenndavis6120]

Good job on the lures Steven.

[@TuggSpeedman_]

Ur one of the only fishing youtubers that doesnt hold a fish out of the water and talk about it for 5 minutes. Always quick releases, mad respect to u

[@robertmckinnon7245]

Yup, I always say I wish I could hold their heads under water for as long as they hold a fish out of water

[@SumOneSomewhere]

Bass geek is really good I watch his channel a lot

[@robertmckinnon7245]

@Spooks 95 lol..it is pretty funny...

[@purpleprince3116]

Dude!! I hate when ppl do that it makes me so mad 😠 the fish is basically going in shock after awhile !!! Mad respect for you and Alex

[@Jmabitibi-t1983]

Sorry, but me I eat the fish.

[@SwitchbackXThunter]

Man.... I love the calming effect I get watching these videos. Some of the “other guys” out there screaming and yelling drive me nuts..... subscribed!

[@rizzle2898]

I don’t mind the excitement but its just relaxing

[@slevin421]

i know what you mean, some looks if they are on drugs or anything... but his videos are just nice to watch and 20 min are like 5 min

[@rshock]

Truth very relaxing 😎

[@DrDanTDC]

That’s funny, I thought the same thing!

[@papatally]

Yes his vids are soxnice to fall asleep too

[@Peterisheree]

Wherever Steven King is, he's a humble guy. He hasn't shown up in the comments freaking out like a fanboy which may be a first ever lol

[@johnnyb2537]

Agreed! This would make a great recurring feature....every 3 or 4 episodes, do one with fan lures! Best fishing channel on KZbin!

[@bonesstones6584]

DAYUM! That first fish must've been yawning and you put that lure right in its mouth!

[@2199SPUDMAN]

Matt doesn't cast.. he teleports his lures with his mind 😁 Absolutely best fishing channel on KZbin.

[@Niko-br9ql]

I'm not convinced these fish are not paid actors by you. The amount of first cast catches you get is amazing

[@xxkillshot5xx]

What I really like about Matt's channel is that he somehow brings the peaceful nature of fishing into KZbin. It's not easy to capture it, but he does it every video. To top it off he's a great fisherman. Good stuff

[@hopefulballistics]

I love all your videos, but the “testing out old or custom lures, while we watch” is my favorite! Please do more if these

[@ryanlee7126]

I'm not the owner or maker of those lures. But it felt good to hear you say "That's a good one on the BUZZ STICK" bet he felt amazing when he hear u say that

[@SluSharkND]

This WOULD make a great series!

[@sethdetwiler2945]

I’d pay to see that.

[@ericrickard4453]

Seth Detwiler I’m a new guy n do he ever do a series? If u ever c this comment

[@dashingboy11]

I've had other BPM baits kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

[@michaelfeasel6446]

I think that’s a great idea for future videos, having viewers sending in there homemade lures or modified lures for you to test on the rivers. I think you would have to get a bigger PO Box !!! Keep up the great videos. You are the best on you tube . Thanks for all you do.

[@19Dennis53]

LOVE that knife! I'll bet Mr. King is one happy guy seeing his artistic skills working so well! I will say you are excellent at casting lures!

[@greenghostman174]

incredible casting accuracy!!!

[@albertcapolongo7673]

SUGGESTION that Buzzer was so easy for me to pick up visually! Even cooler to watch when I see the strike! These are GREAT. Thank you.

[@Beriothien007]

Thr best fishing youtuber on the platform. No screaming, no 20 minute travel montage, no annoying music, always a quick release, and best of all, no clickbait.

[@kimehunt4501]

I'm honestly a bit confused why no one ever made something like the Buzz Stick, it seems to make so much more sense than just a buzz bait and being able to have it float for pauses and change of pace is a great idea. That sub is on to something with that lure. I never throw the buzz bait so I know what I'm doing in my garage tomorrow choppin up some buzz baits and spook jr's. BTW you need to drag the pole under that grass every time you pass it that's just cool to see. Definitely would make a great series.

[@ndyakangler]

Someone else mentioned the Arbogast Sputterbug or Sputterbuzz. There’s plenty available on EBay, I might have to grab a few myself.

[@martinmcclung8500]

Arbagast makes the buzz plug ...it’s an awesome lure

[@martinw28703]

Hey Steven......anytime you want to send me a lure and they catch fish like this, CALL ME!!! lol

[@2inHeartattack]

Seeing that fish nail it right away 1st cast made me feel stoked for the gentleman who made those 👍🏻

Love the knife!!!

This is a great video. I bet the lure maker was thrilled. That little river is a gem. Thanks

[@9MileBros]

Good idea mail call.

[@markwhelan9887]

That buzzstick is a ripper and he is one hell of a fisherman. it's so easy for him !! PS I bet Steven is a very proud man right now !!

[@neospawnkiller6586]

So cool how you were calling the baits by their craftsman's name. I bet he felt pretty damn proud hearing you say "Got a nice one on the buzz stick"

[@winstonbower1236]

I’m starting to realize that your area/ region just has a large and healthy smallmouth population. In addition you’re a great angler.

[@chrisreumont]

With a name like Steven king I'm surprised they weren't called Christine and fire starter. Lol great looking lures Steven. Are they available to purchase? Great video

i reckon the guy is chuffed he caught some good fish with those loving the way you are normal, none of this overexcited kindergarten screaming when you catch something and the fact you put the catch back in straight away without yapping about it for ages, good man

[@SunnyIlha]

This unnamed river is the model river for every Dept of Fish and Wildlife in the country. Clean, free flowing water, abundance of crawdads, hellgrammite, freshwater shrimp,and chub minnows, wild green vegetation rimming all of the shore and bank lines, and most importantly, a 100% catch and release river, all season. Then you have a river like this; twenty five to thirty five 17-22" smallies every fifty yards of river!
