[@davidwilliams84]

I love to see kids learning to fish. They are so excited and energetic. Their enthusiasm is contagious and refreshing. Great job with the kids Spencer. They will grow up with a great love and respect for the outdoors. Teaching kids to fish is about a lot more than fishing.

[@RiverCertified]

That's my hope. They definitely already love it. Thank you for watching.

Yes, take the kids fishing. My fishing buddies moved 1100 miles away, so I enjoy watching them.

[@RiverCertified]

I'm hoping they make the trip back to fish a bit every once in a while. I'll definitely keep taking them.

[@noyopacific]

I've spent the past 7 summers learning how to catch walleye on the lake by our cabin. I catch more than my share now but mostly because I put lots of time in trying. I still get skunked often. On rare occasions I'll fill my limit with 17-19 inch fish in < 30 minutes. This video reminded me of an evening when the walleye went on the attack. Thanks Spencer !

[@RiverCertified]

That's awesome man. I would describe them as a wonderfully frustrating fish haha

[@TheDetroitman20]

Beautiful healthy looking fish. Thanks as always for sharing brother!! 👍🏾👊🏾✊🏾🙂💯

[@swere1240]

you fishin with the boys makes me think of when i was about 8-10 years old fishing with my dad and older brother at boone waterworks spillway catchin white bass on minnows and someone on a 2 stroke dirtbike went flying by on one of those trails back there on the river. Of coursae thats not what i thought it was, so i ran over to my dad and brother all excited and yelled " DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT GUY RUNNIN WITH A CHAINSAW!" lol i still get shit for that to this day from my dad and older brothers but its a memory ill cherish forever. alot of good memorys at that spillway. frasier dam as well. i somehow caught a 43 inch muskie out of fraiser dam in like 4th grade as well. that was a fluke i think ive never really heard of much muskies being in the des moines. anyways thouught id share some of my river stories. hope i make some more. keep it up man ur killin it with the videos

I can’t wait for my grandson to be old enough to take out. Once they hit that age where they can cast and actually want to fish it’s awesome!

[@RiverCertified]

Agreed. Plus it let's you sneak a few more casts in.

[@diggerddawg]

My wife tries to get me to take the grandkids fishing when they are still too young. It can get a little treacherous being close to a kid with little patience and a hook on the end of his pole. Keep that bait in the water kiddo!

[@RiverCertified]

Hope you get another shot one of these days.

[@timothymilam732]

Oh the memories, y'all will have for many years to come. While bringing a good many back for myself,because I honestly can't count the number of times that my brother, are different friends, and I were late for something one, are all of us had to be somewhere else. Worse is the fact that many times we would miss whatever it was altogether. Seems that if they really turned on, we usually didn't have the self discipline to make the right choice, are at least by the other halves of those who happened to be at the location where situations apparently beyond our control, and I've always found it impossible to just up and leave the very thing that like ya'll. We had in some instances spent the whole day or night trying to locate the bite, because we knew that they were around. Jyst not exactly where, but you can be within 50' of the biggest schools of variety of species. Just never presented whatever it was that finally got them motivated to go into s feeding frenzy of sorts. To where just about anything,and wherever you cast in the area they hsd stacked up on. They'd pound whatever you threw in their sight, and depending on whst species it was, and the type of lures it wasn't unusual to get doubles on a number of cast. We've literally filled live wells completely full of white bass, or as us Texans csll them, sand bass. Hybrids many times would make mot only excellent memories, but provide many excellent meals for multiple families on multiple occasions. So yeah; we always figured it was better to ask forgiveness, way better than daring to ask if it was alright if we stayed a little longer than we promised we would. Typically either way, never wss acceptable by those that should of known what would happen if they really thought about it. Great adventure, next time give your pole to one then the other, and they'll never forget what you did for them, and you step up from being just their uncle to a sure enough Super Hero in their young minds. Beside you have the privilege of catching fish for a living, and odds are thats not in their future, and so shares with them what you love to do, and give them something they'll talk about long after your gone. Not a morbid thought,but a positive memory they'll share throughout their lives.

[@RiverCertified]

Those things definitely happen, at least to me. As far as handing off the rod for them to reel them in, I guess we have different views on what we do with kids on fishing trips. I would rather show them how to do it, and let them figure it out. They're tough, hard nosed kids, so it seems to work with them.

[@shoalscatfishjonathan]

That was fun! Nice to see what the up and coming river rats are going to look like. 👍

[@RiverCertified]

Glad you enjoyed it man! I think the fish better be scared for what's coming down the road.

Thank you very much for all of that. They're great kids and make it easy on me. I have a blast taking them! Thank you!

[@jacobkean03]

Walleye fishing turns into a catch and cook pretty quick for me lol. They’re a little harder to come by here in southwest Missouri compared to the more northern states but they’re here and abundant enough to eat nonetheless so I can’t complain.

[@RiverCertified]

I totally get that. When they're a little extra challenging I think they taste even better.

[@pigsandapples]

Great work man!!

[@RiverCertified]

Appreciate it!

[@HalfInsaneOutdoorGuy]

Those bugs are midges. We get them here all winter. I've seen them carpet the banks of the provo river in weather as cold as 10f. Sun comes out and they start to rise out of the water like zombies on halloween....or something.

[@RiverCertified]

Thanks for passing that along. That's kinda cool there's active bugs in cold weather.

[@PahaPoniesSpanishMustangs]

Wow!😂❤ what a day! Like that spot....level is really down huh?

It's crazy. We got a pile of snow, so hopefully that helps add some moisture to everything.

[@egregiousblunder5395]

Man that sir is a killer day for your and the boys to be out! I'll be trying to fish more over the next couple months now that I got laid off. I'm going to try to target Walters in our reservoirs along the rock banks, but I have no idea what to really be using. Any budget suggestions for lures?

[@RiverCertified]

I love a jig and plastic. The ones I sell catch fish, but there's lots of options out there. Search "unpainted jig heads" on ebay and you'll find cheaper jigs that are good for walleyes.

[@brianbenedict8374]
