Just started watching GRIT because of you. I'll jave to give it more time....

[@jmar665]

Great video. Very nice to see Melissa, your dad, and the two doggies. My family used to fish when we were all young kids. My brother never stopped and enjoyed it throughout his life. My dad and five little kids. Brings back many memories. Glad you got to open the fishing season and had a nice time. Until next time, take care and God bless.

[@MrKroll5]

Thank you for sharing the 2023 opening. Look good forward to seeing more. Chunky and Joanie look very happy and content being up there.

[@karencarpenter7894]

It was cool when you got Joanie out of the truck and then went around and let chunky out they went behind the tree to pee . Like they didn't want anyone to see them Beautiful picture of the lake Awesome fish . Good to see you and the family at the tent.

[@wesley1983]

Wow, I've never seen opener at the tent this good!!!

[@jeffhinsdale2680]

Anyone from a cold climate knows the sound of peepers signifies the true end of winter. Great job capturing that sound. I’ll take that chorus over broadway every time.

[@sarahbenjamin3386]

Absolutely! One of my top favourite sounds in the world.

[@EtherealScreams]

Joe..I really admire your attention to detail in everything you do…you think of the most efficient way to do things…and a majority of your thought process focuses on making things convenient and enjoyable for others. I appreciate seeing that in a man. I also appreciate that you seem to have a positive attitude toward things. Of course you are human lol and I’ve seen the blooper/outtake videos lol but it’s just refreshing to see and experience that. Give us some pointers lol on how to be happier in our lives and live life to the fullest like you appear to 🙂. I know I sure do enjoy your videos and thank you for sharing. Take care. Can’t wait for the upcoming adventures!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Great comment, thank you.

[@robertrockwell7581]

great opening day and fish Joe and Melissa. always fun when you don't get skunked. nice to see the tent and your dad again. stay safe.

[@nickdebaere]

Glad you and Melissa had an awesome weekend. Can't wait for more tent videos!

[@seansmith3747]

Man oh man. Joe and Melissa have it all figured out. Mine as well be your own private lake! Incredible

[@bonniestawski219]

Thank you for sharing! Great video! I loved this! God bless you both! ❤

[@tessaelvan5149]

lovely fish, its good to see Melissa fishing great start. thank you

[@gailbrault9251]

I love Grit. Miss some John Wayne westerns!

[@johnmccormick175]

Great video,excellent fishing and what a beautiful spot.

[@lscblackwell9202]

Dang, that went so fast! Hubby and I went fishing last Friday in Upstate SC. The only thing biting was the tiny brim. No catfish, no crappies, nothing else! But those little brim were so feisty. We saw several cranes and a couple of turtles. You know what they say, a bad day fishing is better than a good day of working! 😂😂 Always so good to see you and Melissa up at the tent and to see Joanie and Chunky. Beautiful dogs. This is my kind of content - just normal, fun stuff and so relaxing! Thank you for posting! Looking forward to your next adventure!

[@claire_A-T]

It's so sweet to see how excited you get about having Melissa at the tent.Just like a newlywed.

[@carolb9234]

[@la_old_salt2241]

Hey Joe, you know I have been with you 4 or 5 years and loved watching all you do. I don’t always say anything,but I am watching. God bless you and all your family, have fun fishing. I send my love and prayers. Tell Melissa I haven’t seen her channel for a while.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you Nanny. Melissa is wanting to do new videos it has just been very busy for her. Hopefully soon.

[@badcompany3057]

Good looking fish

[@Youngone-mb1yc]

I just love coming to hang out with you, Melissa, Joni and Chunkie at the tent. Great fishing weekend. I’m going to start calling Melissa the fish whisperer. Lol

[@72PRODIGALSON]

My week wouldn't be complete without a Joe & Zach or a Northern Seclusion video!

[@roberthathaway7958]

[@alancall5113]

[@debramorris7646]

Great video Joe! You were so relaxed and having a fun time!

[@Kevin1980-k6g]

You are so lucky if I had that tent I would never leave. So awesome no people at all, lake all to your self, no noise. Peaceful !! And the best doing it with the one you love!! Fishing that is lol

[@HannadayFLO]

Isn't it just perfection?!

[@lesliebyrum8934]

Such an awesome piece of property you have their these videos make me feel really super relaxed but also be mindful to Spring bear

[@robertwhite1627]

thanks for always posting your videos!!

[@ServiceTrek]

the tent is so cool. would be a good episode to go through a detailed explanation of the tent build and design.

[@CarolineShaw]

Love, love these videos! Love the haircut. Love Melissa and the puppies.

[@thatonejackiegirl]

So happy to see more of Melissa! We always hear so much about her but happy to finally see her. You look great Melissa! 💜

[@richxts1357]

Whoa thar'Joe, didn't hardly recognize you with yer "Ear's Lowered". Tks for taking the time for the videos, we watch them all. Good fishing!

[@metroplexchl]

Totally enjoyed it!

[@Bjorn1976]

Like heaven

[@betsykociuba5809]

The tent looks very comfortable. My husband is a westerns fanatic, but I do enjoy Tales of Wells Fargo, too. I think we've seen every Gunsmoke episode at least 3 times! Hope you have a great fishing summer.

[@dedwin8930]

Great to see the dogs!!!

[@davidswezene1102]

Sure do enjoy listening to the Spring Peepers in the background. Brings me back to some wonderful fishing trips. Ever try Jigging those hairpin type spinner bait? It can be deadly at times for pike or Bass. Finally, you might want to try trolling shallows at 2-3 mph to find active Pike areas. (5 ft or deeper) try Shallow diving, (2-4 ft) Rapala's work amazingly well during spawning season. Love your combined video content Joe.

[@pattiwhite9575]

Looked like the perfect weekend away for you two.

[@curtislackner3286]

Great video joe was this one of your better opening fishing opener catching wise u have had in long time

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Stay tuned we are going up again for Memorial weekend.

[@curtislackner3286]

@@NorthernSeclusion cool can’t wait to see the video hope the fishing is good then too

[@jygonshen]

i can only imagine how many trees are down on my cabin up there right now....can't wait to get started!

[@timbennett7211]

Good one!

[@seansmith3747]

Strong work M! Pike are tasty!

[@rogerpultz5597]

Awesome video Joe 👍👍

[@maryellen2370]

I love bass. Probably my favorite fish to eat. Great video. Thanks

[@osmadchlo]

That looks like a great weekend! Melissa, I'd love to see how you cook up the northern pike...hint, hint!

[@joanneiler2415]

Melissa is great at fishing! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@mikes7047]

Melissa is a fish catching machine

[@bbqstation1190]

nothing better than a friday night Joe video at the tent. Few drinks good kick off to my weekend in Thailand

[@bobk.1428]

Melissa - “Joes spanking me” Joe - “Not yet” Hahahaha

[@davidbabin387]

Man, those fish really turned on in the later part of the day! Great catches, the bass was a nice on too. Looks like you guys are in for a great weekend. Your tent videos are really what I look forward to. Especially during the deer season. Joe, thanks for the video, hope you and Melissa had a great time.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

We are going back up for Memorial weekend. Stay tuned.

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

That's the best opener I recall you having.

[@robertpirovane88]

Great video thanks for posting

[@toddjohnston4788]

You always catch more fish when Melissa is with you...wish she could come more often..that was a great weekend.

[@sadzasnake1755]

Great Bass Joe. These were introduced into Rhodesia many many years ago and before I left Rhodesia to come to Australia I would fish every weekend and catch between 5 and forty Bass ranging from fingerings to 5lb. Biggest ever got was 61/2lb. But I believe now in Zimbabwe (Formerly Rhodesia) they are up to 13 plus pounds. Bloody hell I am so envious of you guys having access to waters like you have. So wish i emigrated to the US instead of Australia.

Hope you guys have a great tent season

[@timcurry192]

Welp, that's it for that lake. No more fish left. Time to move on... Great job, happy opener, and the season begins! 🙂

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Great video. Here in Georgia we have year round fishing.

[@tinman678]

Here in Minnesota we do too, its called hard or soft water fishing 😂

[@johnrisko8719]

Nice weather, fish biting, spending time with Melissa and cold beer, what else could you ask for

[@joanneiler2415]

Awesome video! Love the tent! I believe Melissa is at fishing and might have caught more than joe... lol 😂🤣😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@DHarri9977]

Hello Joe and Melissa, that was pleasantly relaxing for us spectators following along and I could imagine how nice it was for you two to get away in such a quiet peaceful environment on the water. I can see a fish fry happening shortly back at the farmhouse, Happy Trails.

[@trukklob2227]

"I think I kept her up a little too late last night" he says.... God bless you Joe!

[@danog6077]

Great job guys going to be a nice fish fry 😮
