🙋 Me personally, I grew up watching Pennsylvania outdoor life when I lived up there in Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania and also when I lived in Whitehall Pennsylvania at the time. Also I miss watching the show right here on Sunday nights at 6:30 to 7:00 pm I believed it was back then. It was a fantastic show and we all loved it and we all miss it, I wish some Network would pick this up and put it back on television where it belongs. Pennsylvania outdoor life is one of those shows that is really great to watch, also they give you so much information on everything and stuff that's going on in your community as well. So much great memories of watching this. I'm glad it was on back then

My family has DEEP ROOTS in Hookstown. Cool video.

[@peterpopov7548]

I love those Big Surprises!!! I was fishing for crappie and Bluegill and these waves start to mix up the water and the fish weren't biting! I cast out and My bobber hit and went back up! I left it there and Wham! The Bobber Flies in the water and I Pull Out a Lunker 36 inch Northern Pike!!! :)

[@dawsonshugg3754]

Those big surprises are fun, I was fishing for small mouth with tubes and caught a 38 inch pike

[@danielgomes-ur3rm]

Wen i was fishing for crappie this huge musky came and attacked my grub i got him in he was about 41 inches

[@BeardedFisherman]

very cool i was in pa outdoor life 20 years ago we subbbed we fish north east pa

[@pittsburghangler]

Nice Pennsylvania fishing

[@tylermarines3334]

man I live on the Susquehanna river near Harrisburg and I cherish every musky I catch....I cant stress enough that if you catch one by accident or if your targeting them you gotta get them back in the water as fast as possible and hold them in the water until you feel them start kicking on there on and staying upright....catch and release everything people the fish will thank you so will the anglers

[@dill5500]

Tyler marines I'm down below york any tips for fishing the river

[@sammoll5512]

Tyler marines definitely but that Muskie is fine so chill

[@JohnnyQuestFishing]

Hi. I really enjoyed the video, I think you should add a little more festive music to your videos and some excitement special effects. You guys already catch a good amount of fish, I just think this will add more to your videos. Anyway, I am gonna look through other vids on your channel. Thanks.

[@YinzerOutdoors]

Cool video

[@fishnhunt4life]

FYI, green pumpkin is the color you get when you mix green and pumpkin, that's why they call it green pumpkin.

[@pahunter2033]

All these people saying this river has too many small smallmouth are wrong. You'll catch a couple of 6 inches but you won't leave with at least a 15 inches where I go

[@boydsnepaguidingservice]

In PA they are sold everywhere, here we must display our license at all times. So they are sold just about any place you can buy tackle.

[@mxman286]

I've caught 32 lbs stings of walleye. 10lb is my single biggest at 30 1/2 inches.

[@pahunter2033]

Last weekend I saw a bunch of growing bald eagles

As you are aware Palpatine55, it is a dangerous river if you don't know it's hazards. As long as one knows where a propped boat can run safely, it is! Actually, most of the aluminum boats that are used on the river aren't any more puncture resistant than a glass boat. In some aluminum boats the aluminum is so thin that a glass boat is less susceptible to getting a hole on impact! I have personally never had a problem running my boat in the Suky, but I know this part of the river EXTREMELY well!

[@andrewjkas9853]

Helgramite (clippers) a mustad hook and a weight let it drift down the current you’ll crush anything You want just gotta Believe

[@boydsnepaguidingservice]

I would also like to add that I would never recommend anybody running a propped boat in the river without knowing that part of the river very well.

[@jeremymiller2573]

I caught a rock bass on a single blade buzz bait

[@palpatine55]

Is it really safe to take a fiberglass bass boat with a regular outboard on that shallow but great river?

[@fishonfish1]

I have a problem when I'm fishing for smallmouths in a lake. I can see tons of smallmouths but cant seem to catch them. The lake has parts where there is Sandy beaches other parts with weedy bottoms and other part with Lilly pads/wild rice.Any tips Thanks!!

[@XXfisholic123XX]

senkos

[@humibugs]

zach lebrun no

[@CrayOutoors]

medium sized tube jigs (like gitzits), supper-flukes, in-line spinners, and senkos are my go-to small-mouth baits. If the small-mouth are really finicky a suspending jerk bait (like the shadow rap or the husky jerk) will usually drive them crazy after a while and get them to bite if you jerk it with a long enough pause.

[@jslap11]

Change your color, size, or speed of your retrieve. Or some combination of the three. Try slow, small lures in dark colors first, then expand when you find what works. That's the essence of fishing. If you're not catching fish off small dark lures, try small bight lures in sliver or gold. If that doesn't work, turn the music down and stop stomping all over the boat.

[@jimplishka3251]

continued...which no matter how you look at it is much safer than any fiberglass boat....the aluminum will kink along where the transom meets the back of the hull....fiberglass will blow up. Ask the two guys that I saw wreck their glass prop boats the week after outdoor life did a smallmouth special on the area up by P&G.....if you wanna fish the river, get a jet...I have a smokercraft 171 probass with a 90/65 jet...and even with it was as low as it was this year fished wherever I wanted to

[@ColtonCarter]

Hey, what are those clips you have for you license that go on your hat??? Those are pretty slick

[@JoelFishinAintEasyBusbee]

smallies, cats, musky, and rock bass oh my! Check out some of my fishing adventures in the MD / DC / VA / PA area.

[@dalyoyos]

I was thinking about fishing on the suesquehanna river down in Aberdeen, Maryland, does anybody know if there's rockfish, or bass down there, mostly fishing on the flats with a canoe

[@MrDeputy83]

It looks like you ran your boat from the launch to the Rt 29 bridge.... do you prefer going further upstream from the bridge or do you drift down from the bridge past the launch?

[@boydsnepaguidingservice]

If I launch in Tunkhannock, I might fish anywhere from falls to Meshoppen. Just depends on alot of variables. Covering that much water is not possible with an outboard propped boat under most water levels in the Susquehanna. A jet is a must.

[@MrDeputy83]

Boyd's NEPA Guiding Service - agree.... One is very limited on the Susquehanna with a prop...

[@northeastwildernesswalker]

@@boydsnepaguidingservice i live by tunkhannock lets go fishing

[@tylerpylesfishing4653]

What is the depth up that way?

[@paulhumber]

What bridge is it?

[@antiquenasaamerica5355]

Congratulations on what I consider to be a monster musky

[@robbie5826987]

if fish shermans creek witch flows into the susquhana and the smallies get probly 3lbs in certain spots.

[@andrewjkas9853]

I fish were the Knox mines collapsed we caught every damn fish u name it (has to be reasonable) we’ve caught it

[@rentedduckliing]

Where'd you get those grubs?

[@jtboll00]

Yea I noticed the tails on those grubs were a bit different.. def high action tails.. closest brand I could find with those tails are the Zoom Fat Albert Grubs.. but I only found them at the 3 inch length.. but they are fairly cheap so I am pickin up a pack soon

[@jimplishka3251]

palpatine55....I fish the river exclusively. I used to have a prop boat, and got rid of it to open the river up to myself. Some of what trev777777777 is sayin is true, some is not. There are some limited areas you can run with a prop, such as the long pool he is fishing down from the bridge in tunk. The beauty of the river is the scenery and diversity of species available, and low pressure. Furthermore any new aluminum boats are welded, meaning they are at least .10" aluminum....

[@zebzzoo6097]

man all the cat fish i catch feel like loggs lol

[@lildino8104]

I fish in the same spot

[@Harcoredneck234]

Can't to fish in pa Monday

[@xXDISPOSABLExHEROXx]

My buddy caught one bigger then this in marsh creek

[@stanleystavish6578]

There was no need to bring the fish out of the water, it was lip hooked, cut the leader and let thefish swim away .That fish died

[@Yusuf14RE]

am i the only1 who keeps the fish?

[@leonardthompson20]

I fish for food as well as relaxation.

[@dylanbigelow657]

why do they still have tags on there hats?

[@nissan300ztt]

Small PA fish. Sick of the crap fishing in this state. Time for a move south. And all you people in this state over fishing all the lakes and bodies of water.

dead musky there

[@mattaeweavs6056]

oh my gosh do even go fishing?! its not a tag its their fishing license

[@oodles6767]

Jesus, that musky will be dead in an hour. 1 don't gill a musky 2 support the body, don't let it dangle 3 if you don't have the gear to land it fast/less stress, cut it loose 4 slime cost on a musky is very important, letting it slide around on the carpet, bad for the fish.

[@sammoll5512]

terrible handling of a nice muskie

[@joycebuynak2085]

@@antiquenasaamerica5355 Why fish without being prepared by bringing one? I mean it's supposed to be a guide service after all

way to go on mishandling that musky. more than likely it died.
