Too much fun! Love it! Thank you Karl !! 🎣😀

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Thanks for watching David

Now that's what I call fun. I love Alabama. My largest came out of Weiss Lake years ago when I contracted for a year with T.V.A. She was just barely under 3 lbs. Man, it was cold that day.

[@FL_Native_68]

Very interesting to see this, I wish my dad was still alive. Grew up Frostproof FL. My dad would do this on Lake Walk-in-Water, Reedy Lake, Livingston Lake as long as I can remember.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Thanks for watching Roger

[@poolman742]

Very nice video, and a very nice representation of what Alabama fishing and hospitality is about.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

thank you. Glad I`m going back to Bama this spring

[@FishOnIsMyHandle]

Great video! I like that trolling motor setup, being able to stow it like he did.

[@carlabugna7091]

Great video. I loved daddy cheering her on. She didnt give up the pole.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

[@paulpham7080]

very good job dude

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

thanks for watching

[@MarkPolsky]

Nice one! What kind of Rod and reel outfit were you using? What kind of line? Looks like a blast! Thank you.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

B n M Poles rods made for side pulling with fluorocarbon line; they are called 'The Difference by Roger Gant' who pioneered this deadly technique of trolling for crappie.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

sorry you feel that way, but side pulling and spider rigging with multiple poles is a very very popular way to fish for crappie across the U.S.

[@mikewest712]

ExtremeAnglerTV and just because its popular doesn't make it very sporting.

[@lancehoward1802]

It's for the food, same guys usually go out and fish with one rod some, too. This works to catch your limit when your harvesting.

[@maryclouser3748]

@@mikewest712 so that's there business. I fish with with 20 poles

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

@@maryclouser3748 every state and lake has different rules and creel limits, as they do sizes to catch and keep. To each its own I say.

[@dylanwatson270]

gotta love Alabama best fishing, football and great people Roll Tide

[@jackbright1099]

Do you mount your transducer any differently when using this technique?

[@68vmoore]

Good looking set up, who makes those rod holders?

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

+vernon moore I cannot recall who makes the ones on that boat, possible home made, we like the DRIFTMASTER styles for crappie boats

[@robincummings6003]

Definatly trying this

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

It works all the time, and on those deeper summer slabs

[@kjmonosr]

Nice video, where do you get your rod holders?

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Try Driftmaster, they make a lot of the custom rod holders for crappie anglers in the U.S.

[@9929kingfish]

these guys could be brother's

[@timstempin2458]

i did this 20 years ago with 2 trolling mtors 1 front bow mount 1aft transom mount

[@johnmills925]

Has anyone ever tried side pulling with a semi V bottom aluminum jon boat? I have a 1966 StarCraft 14ft. jon boat and thinking of giving this a try.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

I am sure it will work, good luck

[@richardcline4117]

that's funny weve been pulling cranks from side of boat since seventies

[@richardcline4117]

richard cline va has gd crappy too

[@bakervinci163]

Long lining, sideways

[@marcuswest4776]

What kind of 1/4 oz hair jigs are you using???

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

No idea, they looked like hand tied

[@billallmon4094]

If its june in alabama thenwhy do you have a hoody on

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

well, it was June, and it was hot, so it must be `bama

[@kennethmullins3710]

Just how long ago did that guy come up with side pulling?

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Two brothers came up with the idea, Brad uses the same technique in Alabama

[@jeremydoesitgresham9530]

ExtremeAnglerTV bout the same time I did but you can claim the invention.. laughable

[@terryl8447]

Saw Bill Dance do this 20 years ago

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Bill Dance did everything 20 years ago lol. Legend

[@richardcline1040]

where can i gt those holders for the rods

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Try TITE-LOCK they make a lot of different rod holders for all kinds of boats.

[@burtvillefarms]

How do you keep the boat pulling straight sideways. I like the setup.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

+Royce Burt trolling motor is mounted on the side of the boat- it is a very popular way of control depth trolling for crappie

[@burtvillefarms]

Neat idea for sure. it just seems that you'd have to work the motor a lot to keep it from spinning around.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

not really, it might take a little bit to get used to, but the guys who use this system are pretty good at it

[@burtvillefarms]

i like it.

[@mitchvanhorn6630]

I was wondering what kind of boat that is I want one

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

War Eagle crappie boat from Arkansas

[@mitchvanhorn6630]

That's nice fish and guys I'm going to look up and buy me a boat like that

[@moloch16]

What make and model boat is that?

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

+Paul Powell It is a War Eagle boat; very popular in the U.S. with crappie anglers and duck hunters

[@mileslong9506]

This boat is made for side pullin. I believed it was designed by gant.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

Roger Gant yes, he and his brother were some the first to use this method to win tournaments and catch a lot of big fat slab crappie

[@scarecrow6741]

So you are just trolling with the boat sideways? Is that what we are talking about here?

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

side its called side pulling

[@jeremydoesitgresham9530]

ExtremeAnglerTV been doing it for years doubt anyone can claim it's beginning laughable

[@sdflyer1]

What kind of boat is that??

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

War Eagle made in U.S. I think.

[@hashglass]

sunscreen people

[@hashglass]

@slab buster RTR ya i never have but prolly good idea due that cancer shit hot af here so we dont go now any way soon tho

[@deltapromasterlauj4848]

Where is the fun at when using heavy rods for a fish less then 12 inches?🤦‍♂️

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

these rods are required for this technique. Sorry you don`t understand the concept.

[@deltapromasterlauj4848]

Actually I do, I was just making a point.....it's like fishing for large mouth bass using an offshore rod, takes the fun out of fighting the fish! I'm just saying....

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

this technique requires the casting set ups- I understand as well, I do like catching them with a ultra light, but sometimes that is not the best course of action.

[@sterlinghope6999]

DeltaProMaster Lauj by

[@maryclouser3748]

Some people don't like it. Cause they can't catch fish.

[@stupidman9774]

Yall tv stars haven some fun cathing them there minnows on tv land. Round here, them there minnows yall catching is bait we use for 3,4&5 lb hog crappy.

[@ExtremeAnglerTV]

oK then, LOL. I highly doubt you or anyone you knows catches 3, 4 or 5 lb crappie, no sir sorry.

[@stevebenson3024]

Put the crack pipe down.
