New follower, been enjoying your videos. I've tried my luck in the Des Plaines with no luck, thanks for sharing your bait set up.

Nice fishing brother! Where did you find that calm river stream? I always go north of Irving Park Rd ,but stream is so strong and can not catch anything.

[@outdoorswithmatt4709]

@krasimirtenev5005 this was in Wheeling right off Dundee Rd

Comment cut off....Vern Wolf Lake....ever fished?

[@outdoorswithmatt4709]

@bodyfunction8927 never heard of it. I'll look it up though and see what I can find out about it

[@ronl7131]

Hole in snout from bird attack?

[@outdoorswithmatt4709]

@ronl7131 No idea, it's possible though. Might have had a run in with a heron once

[@thatbasssguy]

Will pike eat a crayfish soft plastic lure

[@outdoorswithmatt4709]

@thatbasssguy they'll eat crayfish occasionally so yeah, you can catch them on that. I actually caught a pike once that had a live crayfish in it's throat!

[@thatbasssguy]

How do I catch pike

[@outdoorswithmatt4709]

@thatbasssguy they'll go after many of the same lures bass will go for. I've done well with inline spinners, spinner baits, and topwaters in particular.
