Can’t wait to have you guys back! The smallies will be waiting!

[@no_regerts5176]

Really enjoyed this. If people up here knew how hard these fish fight, they would fish for them more. Nothing is better, to me, than a 5# smallie going ass over teakettle to hit a topwater.

[@MichaelRomero]

Awesome video you guys need to do more like this! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@edp1801]

Loven it! You guys fishen my home town, me living in Scappoosse now. You guys got me back into bassin again. Gave all my gear away to my brother 36 years ago, now buying all new gear. Dang you guys. I'd love to go bass fish with with Gone Fishin. You guys are producing one of the best programs anywhere. Excellent photography, Excellent music

[@michaelcatalano8882]

Absolutely love to see you guys in my neck of the woods. I know I'm biased twords my home waters but eire really is so special. I feel like it doesn't get the love it deserves and its so great to see you guys out here! You are always welcome in the Midwest!

[@centerpin_fishing216]

lake erie is a beast!!

[@weedhopper]

Heck ya smallies baby🤘my biggest smallies was around 6lbs in the Columbia 23 1/2 inches long!!! I caught 4 females that day all around 5-6lbs all were released unharmed.Since then I haven't been able to get any over 4lbs but still solid fish.I loved this video guys thanks 🤙

[@toddknutson6317]

Straight bad ass. That’s all I can say! Jealous!

[@victoriaxholmes]

So epic! Those are some pretty sweet smallies. Tight lines ADX! 🤙🏼🎣

[@coreycorey2220]

That was interesting. I don’t normally watch bass fishing but it was good. in rough waters when the captain puts his lifejacket on you know it’s time to go be safe out there gentlemen

[@Goats22]

Sean with a 6!!!! FUCK YEAH!

[@michaelbidniss988]

Hey! I'm from Erie. I love this city and has amazing fishing. Fishing the lake is one of my favorite hobbies, I always shore fish, but I always fill my freezer with awesome perch, bluegills, and crappies. But even when you aren't trying to you'll hook into some amazing smallies! I think my PB is around 6# and I don't even actively target them! Hope you all come back soon!

[@Newman902]

Amazing fishing addicted team, thanks.

[@Jr0ck8388]

You guys gotta hit lake Washington for smallies! There’s 10+ pound largies and smallies. Also 7-9 pound sockeye

[@boblove6865]

I’m only a few minutes in but just by the title I know this will be a banger!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ If I’m chasing in fresh water Smallies are second only to Steelhead!

[@PeteGonzales-rv5ym]

I thank Shown has the best job

[@paulhubbard6271]

Amazing video! Serious FOMO from missing you guys when you were there

[@andrewwebster13]

Erie can pick up quicker than any lake near it. It’s called the soup bowl for good reason and it’s much shallower than Lake Ontario. Seneca can be a real bitch too.

[@marcodevecchis8145]

Catching to many Bass = bassdome 😉

[@JigginwithG]

Of course yall had to bang some steelys too 😆🤘🐟 love bass fishing as well

[@mrdan1990]

I was using the addicted ball jigs and crawlers/paddle tails the other day. Even after snagging and bending and reshaping the hook they landed every fish they stuck. Awesome product. Got some smallmouth, rockbass and channel cats. Keep em coming

[@logannewman4532]

Love smallies. Its a bass that fights as aggressively as a panfish.

[@David-Lips]

Yea boys! Love seeing some bass fishing action from the addicted crew!

[@medtech1a]

Awesome.

[@dylanriddle8180]

I knew I saw you guys around Erie and I was like no that's not them there's no way I'm so mad I didn't stop and say hi my 5 year old son is just now starting his obsession with fishing

[@JRFROMWBC]

FYI: Cane's is building a spot on Mill Plain in Vancouver...

[@halfwatt7905]

They’ve had a spot downtown Portland at pioneer for some years now. I’ve had it there and also down south in Texas. Very good!

[@calebberglund53]

The line is not worth the wait in Portland so getting another closer location is a w

[@mikedegnan5252]

You should venture up into the interior of Alaska and crush some pike, burbot and grayling.

[@weedhopper]

Bass thumb 😂 ya i know what that is... raw from there tooth patch 😎👍

[@no_regerts5176]

Banks Lake will give you bass thumb! 50-fish days are a distinct possibility. Total weight would be about 40lbs for those 50 fish….

[@drjarrodmcmillen]

Landed my first summer steelhead of the year this week on the new advantage bait hook. Held up nicely against a hot 10lb hen.

[@KrkIDTrPD]

Your awesome cam

[@Hunting4conservation]

Love it!!

[@dorkrecon1861]

MORE BASS PLEASE!!!!!

[@contracabal]

We call that a silver and bronze. A steelhead and small mouth in the same day.

[@AddictedFishing]

I like that!

[@ScottyMartin-co3xm]

Keanu Neal!! 17th pick in the 2016 NFL draft

[@jaydestun4257]

Bro, you guys want to catch some serious mollies on Lake Erie come to Wheatley Ontario they’ve got charters and fish cams built around that fishery here and there is huge the average between three and 6 pounds. It’s crazy. I was fishing in my entire life since I was a child, I just live like an hour and a half from it and it’s and it’s nuts and same with Rondo Bay at the Eo and the rock formations outside the harbour it’s crazy

[@TiredAmerican247]

You should come to California for bass. World record largemouth and spots. 6-7 lb smallies in the northern lakes that locals keep quiet about. 30-50lb stripper in the delta.

[@liyinchong4493]

❤❤❤

[@justinterepka9885]

Sick! When is the steelhead alley film coming out? I'm bummed I missed the bash in April...

[@AddictedFishing]

November it will premiere on KZbin

[@no_regerts5176]

If you guys have any pull with Lamiglas, can you get them to reintroduce the Certified Pro Drop-Shot rod? It’s my favorite spinning rod of all time and I’m on my last one!

[@weedhopper]

Congrats to shawn that was a pig 🤘

[@MattH-uc1gs]

When is steelhead alley coming out?

[@markhaines3716]

I live 15 min from Erie, I def know what bass thumb is!

[@markhaines3716]

The upper and lower Niagara are loaded as well! 6.94 is my PB

[@semperhigh0311]

I fished for them in DC

[@maxsmith7629]

What is your sendup for bass fishing

[@ASchnacky]

Made in the USA?

[@jeezy730]

What line dis you use

[@LetsFish21]

You’ll find bigger ones in dworshak reservoir.

[@eriks9576]

I once watched a dude catch a very large smallmouth on the columbia, probably 6 or 7lbs while fishing with a jig for steelhead. He didn't release it either

[@no_regerts5176]

To this day, he is haunted by that fish’s ghost.

[@AmericanArgonaut]

1:17 Whom ever edits this needs talking too. As. guy who lives in the PNW. But is from Michigan... Let me say dont be afraid of those Walleye.. Best eating fish... and it not even close.

[@JSkizzy224]

Is it supposed to say, “learned” in the quote at the beginning?

[@AddictedFishing]

Yep… editor with a little typo!!

[@tothtrav]

All that’s worth it is salmon and steelhead.

[@davemeduna700]

Izaak Walton is rolling over in his grave because you misspelled his quote. It is "learned". Just saying

[@AddictedFishing]

Agreed, our editor needs a talking to…

[@nonprophet5235]

The panic you generate around limited production runs is why I don’t buy addicted stuff

[@AddictedFishing]

We have lots of stuff that isn’t limited.

[@jackpualder1522]

You become cooler and cooler every time you say "Dude" dude. Grow up

[@conquestjosh6970]

Who paints your lures?

[@AddictedFishing]

We work with a few different custom painters.

[@conquestjosh6970]

@AddictedFishing They look great!!! I also paint lures but mainly for Bass and Walleyes here in Michigan 👍🏻🦈🎣
