Riding the Struggle Bus to the Springtime Crappie!

[@greenberetsdaughter]

There's no better therapy than fishing!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It’s definitely one of the top forms of relaxation for sure!

[@JumbleTronChannel]

Glen, that was mighty kind of you to share your catch with those campers. Glad you got out and caught some, and I'm excited to see the new camera equipment get put to good use👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

We will see if I can figure it out. We try to give to folks. It’s the way it should be we think

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Those were nice looking crappie! Very nice of you to give them to the campers!! Thank you for sharing and Good luck with everything my friend!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Appreciate it! We always try to give. Not everyone is as fortunate as we are to catch fish and get deer. Just how it’s supposed to be I think.

[@clintkay9270]

Man that's a good looking place to fish. That fellow on the bank didn't realize he was talking to a legend!! Good stuff

[@RaisedOutdoors]

😂 He probably knew he wasn’t lol. It’s definitely a beautiful lake

[@FPD194]

Thanks for a great video! I don't have all of the electronics to just watch tv while I'm fishing! Yep, old school, I love it!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I guess it’s part of fishing now, just not my thing. I do have a fish finder, not a livescope, but we don’t use it much. Mostly just for water depth or mapping.

[@BankFishingAdventures]

A little struggle never hurt no one. Them bass guys are always in a hurry. Whether it's tournament or not. 😂 Nice catches Glen! Always fun finding the fish on your own. Nice of you to give away your crappies.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I wouldn’t mind it as much but some of those guys just have no courtesy. It’s a good safety practice to have something on for water depth. I think we’d all be big if we shared more often.

[@IndianHemlock]

You guys have some beautiful crappie fishing down there !! Good eating right there !! That was nice of you to give your catch away ! Sometimes going simple is the best , like you said , you appreciate it more !! Nice video Glenn 👍🏻😊🎣

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I really appreciate it. I think we’ve found an audience in folks looking for simple fishing with less technology. So we’re going to just keep it simple, not that I do it any other way lol

[@tothemaxxoutdoors4771]

Not a bad first trip out on the lake, kudos to you for letting the boys have a yt debut and fresh slabs!!!!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It was a slow day all around for everyone crappie fishing. We try to share and give game to folks when we can. Just how it’s supposed to be I think, a little kindness goes a long way

[@NaturalStateFishing]

This turned out great even with the technical difficulties! Caught some slabs and was super cool to see those people of the bank get em! Great work and looking forward to the next one!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I think I might have figured it out. Hopefully gets better from here out lol. Appreciate it!

[@Dark30Outdoors]

I can totally relate. Sometimes it's tough to get em going. You popped a few good ones for sure!!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I don’t mind having to work for them sometimes, it makes you appreciate it more for sure

[@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa]

Those underspins are deadly for crappies. One of my favorites! Once we’re done with our cold snap I’ll probably be out trying for some local crappies. Awesome video!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Hoping to get out there and get some more myself. I’m with you, really like the underspins. Hope you find a big pile of slabs!

[@squirrelsmagnetfishingoutdoors]

Nice catch the fish you caught was a nice size the pike was a good size hope you get for fish thanks for sharing

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Appreciate it Squirrel!

[@DaveCollierCamping]

Awesome, enjoy your day

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Appreciate it!

[@norcarwhitetails8885]

He was hoping he would get another fresh crappie drop by you Glen before Wednesday...lol. I always knew you were a good man!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I’d definitely have taken him some more if I had been able to go. I think it’s how it’s supposed to be.

[@godscountryhuntingfishing1638]

Nice perch there Glenn. Glitter Critter is always a good Bobby Garland for me on the banks

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I didn’t realize just how bad the bite was that day until I talked to guys at the ramp. Apparently I did better than I thought lol.

[@escubasteve]

Good video glen!! Makes me want to get out on the water !!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Hopefully I got it figured out now and can catch up a bunch. Appreciate it. Go get em

[@koutdoors3514]

Underspins are great. Those were some good fish man. Love it!!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I’m ready to see you jiggle some up!

[@billreddochoutdoors5968]

Nice Glen! I don’t think I have ever seen a kid that didn’t get excited when they find out they are gone be on KZbin! Thanks for including the little folks too!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I gave them some channel stickers. They were some nice kids

[@edooutdoors316]

Nice slabs Glen! You do good catching that way were i struggle. Thanks for sharing all the tips!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

You’re definitely the man at vertical jigging. Appreciate it

[@KevinFishes1]

I'm ready for some crappie. I got another boat and have been getting it ready the last few weekends instead of fishing. I'll get after them this weekend though. Good video.

[@AnArkansasTrapper]

Picked up a few my first trip out. Looking forward to getting out and finding some more. Good video Glen.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

We went one other time that I scoundrel. We bank fished a private reservoir and absolutely whacked em. I might do a video at one but the average guy doesn’t have access to those places so I’m just trying to do public type access

[@joangeddes380]

Great video 👋🤗👍🥰🐟🎣🐠

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@zachstuckeyoutdoors5786]

Good video Glen. Crappie Fishing is about to be 🔥 soon! I went this weekend to a small lake. Water temp was 68 degrees. That small lake warms up quicker. Caught plenty some up shallow and middle of small coves. This cold front passes through after it’ll be great fishing!

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I figure once we get through this next week we’ll be good

[@jeffreylankford6240]

Just joined your channel I love fishing I’d rather fish than eat unless it’s eating the fish I catch lol enjoy your vedio

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Absolutely lol. We do a lot of everything but definitely gonna try getting more quality fishing content. Get better footage and explanations of the areas and how we do it. Appreciate you joining us

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Who needs all that FFS. Great slabs, bud.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I figure guys like us catch plenty without it. Lakes would be empty if we had them 😆

[@woodystrapping]

Sweeeeeeeet!😁👍

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Thanks Woody!

Good deal brother

👍 nice

[@RaisedOutdoors]

Thanks

[@SlicksOutdoors]

Not a bad day on the lake bud. I have not been able to get after them in a couple months, it’s time though.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

It was nice to get out there. I had one other trip this year crappie fishing but it was bank fishing in a reservoir. All the traffic and stuff made it tough but finally got bit a few times

[@neabowhunters8107]

What lb line are u running on the 2000? I got one and I’m running 8lb test

[@RaisedOutdoors]

I’m running 6lb vicious panfish line. Guess I should have included that information lol. Forgot about the line. I like 4lb for crappie but 6lb has better abrasion resistance around that brush but still limber enough to fish light jigs without affecting the presentation

[@neabowhunters8107]

@@RaisedOutdoors I got 4lb I’m gonna swap it out with Like the 8 but I fish from the bank and it doesn’t like to cast these 1/16 jigs very well. I have mine paired with a 7ft Shakespeare micro light rod and I love the combo.

[@RaisedOutdoors]

@@neabowhunters8107 yea I like those reels and any good sensitive rod works good.
