Slow Roll'en Spinner Baits for Bigger Bass

[@canadianknifeExpert]

Dave, thank you for everything you do. You're a vital part to this community and the videos you make really are appreciated. Thanks

[@Charsept]

I've been fishing a lot lately so it's nice to see these videos in your channels pipeline

[@CTrane82]

DC, I have found that working a spinner like a worm where you let it drop (not quite to the bottom) and pull it up (obviously not in a really weed filled area) works well. Not that you need fishing advice obviously ;). Keep on it brother. You're the man.

[@LEARSIKCIGAM]

The dude has 700+ videos posted, I think you are being unfair. Love your work Dave.

[@StirlingLighthouse]

That's a real decent fish! Thanks for all of your enthusiasm to learn and passing it on. I've learned a way to catch a musky by hand so far this year! lol I sure wish I had a video of it. Ask me and I tell you one heck of a story. Thanks for taking us along! Cheers Dave.

[@Durchii]

Dave, I love all of these bass fishing videos. Looks like Ohio has some tremendous fish. Just a quick tip, I've found that with spinnerbaits, 99% of my missed hits are because the fish missed the hook and simply grabbed the plastic trailer. In order to mitigate that, toss a red trailer hook on all of your spinnerbaits and you'll see how many you reel in that are hooked on that alone. I'm not sure what it is about the color red, but bass and pike can not pass it up. Tight lines, Dave!

[@kclinux]

Nice setup Dave. I'd suggest making or buying a drift sock for that rig to control how fast and how far the canoe drifts. It will stabilize the rig as well and allow you to stay on point longer without using an anchor. I use one with my kayak and they are very effective.

[@equip2survive]

Thanks for doing videos on survival fishing!! Have loved fishing since I was a kid and it is an undervalued as a survival skill because to many fishing is so "mysterious" and not very well understood. Thank you!!! :)

[@robe1kanobe]

My black hula-popper and mixed color spinner, which now must be replaced, are my immediate go to's when ever i hit the water. If I can't get a reaction with those right off the bat it's time to go home! My red and white long spinner works great too. Great vid thanks for sharing.

[@sonde2007]

What a fun video to watch that was. It pumped me up to get back out on a lake myself soon.

[@PICS0UL]

15lb Spiderwire Stealth Braid in a Moss green with an Ugly stick and a Mitchell 308XE. Sounds like we use a very similar setup. I'm in Western PA in clarion County so i suppose the waters we fish are a lot alike as well. I went out Sunday most of the day and didn't have much luck with my favorite spinner but... I switched to a Zipper worm and started yanking them in left and right. Love your fishing videos BTW. If i can't be out there myself at least i can watch you fish! LOL

[@slipmud84]

The back pack with the boxes is they best way to carry everything I love it I will never go back to the big bulky boxes that weigh 15 lbs. If yall haven't tried it do it for a season.

[@tsnorquist]

Drilling a few holes in that motor mount plank would afford you some good vertical rod holder storage. Also, I put my trolling motor battery in an old igloo cooler (drilled a couple holes for the wiring to the battery terminals). Great video as always - makes me want to get out on the water!

[@JWC85]

Looks like your moving across the water good with the new motor set up

[@milkman121141]

Love the Booyah bait. I use fish attractant on the bait. It's like using buck scent.

[@GLOCKCOPG23]

Dave, why don't you use a bow mounted small anchor to keep your canoe in place? Cheap to set up and it works for me. 25-30 ft of nylon rope, a small pulley (mounted up front near the bow), a couple of loop end lag bolts (to screw into your wooden cross members with the rope passed through), and a small anchor is all you need. The breeze will turn your canoe into the breeze and your all set to fish your slow baits. Try it out and good luck on the next trip.

[@toml7347]

Thank you for all that you do sir, and if you ever want to come to Ontario to do some fishing sir I have some lakes for you to come to, you would be in your glory sir with catching fish. I've got some severer spots for lots of fish , I would share with you anytime sir. All the best and happy anniversary to you and miss iris sir . God bless you and yours

[@flyvet46]

great video I was wondering if you were going to try and make it out to Utah again for the outdoor show

[@thepopcorn00]

Hey Dave! This is irrelevant to this video, but how cold do you think you can go down to with just one of the European wool blankets off your site? Thanks, Jon

[@Gammock]

Dave, Love the canoe. Do they make it in a two seater? Thanks Shawn

[@EatCarbs]

I've seen crates like that at storage type stores.. and I believe I saw some at Target once. You could just try asking for one..or maybe going to a dairy distributor and asking if they have any old ones you could have.

[@nickthetool21]

That was a nice lookin bass you caught. Loving the fishing videos. Keep em coming if you can!

[@luvtafsh]

I practice catch and release as well, but big or not I also believe in catch and grease! LoL for some great top water action, try the rapala skitter pop. For top water, that's my go to bait!

[@Paldireos]

I love your fishing videos, Dave! :) nice regards from Austria, Flo.

[@EatCarbs]

Great looking fish Dave.. I think I'd have to toss it back as well. Great looking set up too. Thanks for the video

[@appalachian11]

Keep up the good work, Dave.

[@WTFD29]

Dave, what lake is this? I'm from scioto county and am thinking about making a trip to this nice looking lake.

[@godwinschool]

can you do a vid of your entire tackle box and describe how to fish some of the best lures. great vid. I love the fishing vids the best. keep it up

[@GatorNate5]

One thing I personally like to do with my spinnerbaits, is add a trailer worm onto it. I've thrown naked spinners before and had a few bites, thrown a worm on it, and hauled it a boat full in a couple hour period. Seems like the worm adds a little something extra to the action.

[@BigDH28]

love the fishin vids Dave! keep em coming brother! Thanks!

[@dpreiner21]

At 7:44 sec there's a hummingbird checkin you out Dave. Love the fishing videos man, keep them coming!

[@rvlqcitizen]

Hey Dave, do you wet your hands before you pick up the fish? The protective slime on them is what protects them from pathogens in the water. When a person picks up the fish with dry hands it takes off some of the slime. Not tryin to tell ya what to do, just sayin. That was a pretty sweet bass. The rod you caught that bass on looks like it casts a 1/2oz like a dream.

[@BravingTheOutDoors]

I've also been a long time member. I've been a member long before Dave was ever famous and barely had 300 subs (btw I was also sub #54 on NutNFancy) and I think Dave is the best thing on YT! I rarely don't agree with him but the 2 times it happened he both approved, responded and PM'ed me and my messages so I can't say I have the same experience at all. Your messages must have fallen between the chairs so to say. BTW, Dave is certainly not a "salesman", that's just bull.

[@Daffy711]

Dave, what type of fishing rod do you use?

[@motombocolombo]

how about using a drift sock to slow the canoe down? or doesn't it work so well in combination with a canoe?

[@kylelee1911]

hey dave i got this h and r huntsman model 351 if you find the 12 gauge model of it its probably the only bolt action shotgun that ive seen thats built like a tank

[@shnppr]

Nice video Dave, do you ever fish from a kayak? Seems right up your alley.

[@nopi762x39]

Dave, do you ever use so any Rage series baits? Personaly I love their soft plastics and are my favorite baits. Lots of noise and bubbles, you can fish them top water or any other way, doesn't matter you'll catch em. This lake you are fishing looks awesome and I think you would kill it with shads and frogs! I would love to fish there! Videos are great and one day I plan to visit the Pathfinders school to lean from the man himself! Keep it up dave!

[@MrDusty3980]

Was that hammertown lake Dave ?

[@DVOP2011]

Hey Dave...great video....Coshocton County vet here,,,,you guys weather last nights storm?

[@2009statechamps1]

Love your videos! You should make one with your dog showing how man and dog have survived together for years and the benefits of having a good dog with you, I'd really appreciate it. Also, have you considered carrying a pack of cheap cigarettes in your pack? Carrying fire and you can chew a pinch of tobacco to put on insect stings to relieve sting and swelling? My common man common two cents. Thanks!

[@westvirginiasurvival]

Nice Bass Dave. That trolling motor really pushes that canoe. Have you ever tried pulling a deep diver crank bait or spinner while trolling from bank to bank?

[@Nemox94]

Hey Dave. Do you have any cooking tips for fish for someone who haven't liked fish for years?

[@thaboomer53]

great informative video. thanks for the effort you put in them.

[@UonlyGet1]

Thanks Dave, Just let me know what address to send the book to.

[@dennyhughes7000]

Dave..How long does the battery last?

[@MrOxbone]

Dave, Are yo yo fishing reel allowed in OH,if they are could you do a vid on them.

[@Jmav91]

What type of rod you running ?

[@LeTelecaster]

What kind of trolling motor is that?

[@2bonosc]

Nice Bass. Thanks for sharing!

[@robertk3850]

A Swamprat .. Walmart sells milk crates , little diffirent but they work.

[@Outlawme1990]

what bait are you using

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

great catch.

[@talon0863]

Thanks Dave

[@bc46488]

YOU SHOULD MAKE MORE FISHING VIDEOS! YOU SEEM LIKE BYOU HAVE A LOT OF FUN FISHING!

[@TheJcure1206]

Lovin the fishin videos!

[@Familyof4Adventures]

your great at fishing!!!!

[@Ka666Boom]

how do you misuse a milk crate? and if it is yours, you cant get a fine. its like the tag on your pillow.

[@twistedblade1511]

Youre in Ohio right? I didnt think you'd have much luck because there was a late Mayfly hatch over there but it looks like you did okay. Great video man.

[@MrKinkbmx]

you know without censorship comments can stretch to outlandish topics. i think its fair to limit for comments to be about hunting, survival, fishing etc. as well as be appropriate for all types of viewers.

[@tomritter493]

nice its been a while sence I got a good bass nice dave

[@CrazyMultiBanana]

Dave, how much do i have to pay you to get you to survive with me on a tropical island for a month? As a guide that is. Iam dead serious, please reply!

[@MrKinkbmx]

what real do you use for your ugly stick?

[@sargefaria]

Nice fish brother.

[@ronjeremy3464]

do you answer pm's ?

[@kwstikas82]

hey dave, can you make a tutorial about the mentality of fishing, lure choosing according to the weather/water etc... all these you said about your bait today sounded chinese to me :-/

[@Halleluyoyo]

awesome vid!

[@CodyJames005]

please don't hold bass by the jaw when they are as large as your first fish, you risk breaking there jaw (no you don't feel a snap) or if you do that at least eat em (then it doesn't matter). other than that keep up the great videos, i love em!

[@littlegreen7159]

I love ugly stiks strongest rods there awesome

[@jameslee8765]

Dave, forge an anchor....should be fun to make.

[@ramsessilent]

The lighter wait ugly sticks are not as ugly as the big cat. Being mostly black with a section on the top being clear so its easy to see even the slightest of nibbles but keeping there almost indestructible / unbreakable property's and there for inheriting the ugly stick name.

[@wizard101arena]

why are they called ugly sticks?

[@351WINCHESTER]

Here in Fl we use those for bait. Just kidding my friend, nice catch.

[@MyPurplerobot]

you would make the best uncle and or grandpa.

[@dlvmark]

nice!

[@frickbot]

Friend of mine caught a 7 an a half pound bass last week out of a pond, talk about a fat fish

[@thaiguysabu]

personally, i would have feasted on that sweet bass. it would have made me a wonderful dinner.

[@warriorCLC]

Dave?

[@coltonn322]

Cover is an actual physical object like a log

[@MDwanabeePREPPER]

hey dave I can't figure you private message thing anyways me and my buddy are coming to the august Basic survival class if we bring you and your family a bushel or 2 of crabs from maryland would you guys enjoy that. some folks don't like crab.

[@alzathoth]

i'd toss that first one in the fryin pan! man, I really need to buy a small boat... ;)

[@MrKinkbmx]

reel*

[@LeTelecaster]

And that's why I should watch the video all the way through... hahahaha sorry about that

[@ILhunter23]

cant go wrong with the ugly stick

[@goriverman]

Nice day on the water, nice large mouth. i like to throw the big fish back to. they get to fight another day

[@grimeandbud]

did you watch the video lol or read the title haha

[@nerblebun]

Your comment about the "legal warning" on milk crates is deeply disturbing. It appears I've been innocently misusing milk crates most my life. Used them for everything EXCEPT milk. Usually use them to stand on when reaching for something on the top shelf. OMG ! Does that fall under the separate category of milk crate abuse ? Now I feel like a criminal. Where do I turn myself in ?

[@Ka666Boom]

have to have a pee-can in the boat...not to be confused with a Pecan....

[@LarsonFamilyFarm-LLC]

I would have ate that bass...perfect eating.

[@LEARSIKCIGAM]

The dude has 700+ videos posted, I think you are being unfair.

[@Jenult]

Bread it and fry it

[@earthsurfer13]

I love how you censor comments that have substance or some amount of relevance to the video and then let dumb ones through like; where can I find a milk crate? What is the criteria you use to determine that? Why do you have the approval pending thing anyway? I have supported you with my money at your site in the past and by liking your vids here.Frankly as a paying customer/supporter your censorship bugs me. It would seem you are only interested anymore in selling stuff, and that bugs me too.

[@wvmurse]

Just cant beat a Ugly Stick :)

[@WalshiesWoods]

lolz

[@Daffy711]

nevermind...

[@eatmorenachos]

Only if you get caught, just sayin

[@DarkSparkCannabis]

lmao are you serious? you gotta post a picture of those. They are plastic man, just grind or sand the printing off. Misuse of a milk crate.. pfft
