Hearty one at the end there! Thanks for the ride Ben, another awesome vid.

[@redboatdave]

Thank you Ben, I watched your video a few years ago using blade baits and I have caught so many more fish working the bottom with blades, including 5 to 15 lb striped bass.

[@All_is_Outdoors]

Got to love those blade baits! Appreciate your information and knowledge! Thank you for sharing!

[@alcav54]

Merry Christmas Ben! Thanks for the awesome content

[@DaleWyman]

Have a great 2024. Love the Bladebait bite and still making them. Hope people really learn as much and enjoy your videos as much as I do.

Awesome video Ben! Way to cap off a great year and look forward to seeing your success next year!

[@jimwarden9617]

Wow. Great vid. Happy Holidays Ben. NoWakeNation!

[@philbass2553]

Hey there Benjamin! Great video man. Blades are so much fun. Looks like you hammered on em really good!! That marine flooring turned out great on the boat too. Happy holiday to you and family sir……And “ Fish On!” 🎣

[@micropterus5868]

Great video Ben! You had a great day! Merry Christmas and i'm really looking forward to watch your videos in 2024!

[@michaellamb1342]

Nothing better than being the only one on the lake this time of year. So relaxing so peaceful. Dude you smashed them, thanks for taking us along I enjoyed it.

[@brnowak_fishing]

That’s exactly right. I love this time of year, fishing when it’s cold and semi-brutal, is one of my favorite times to be on the water

[@jonkludt1366]

Awesome work. Confirms I need more subtle less flashy colored blades.

[@peterhing3608]

Awesome smallmouth bite Ben with a bonus pike and walleye! Thanks for taking us along your final outing of the year! The flooring on your boat looks awesome as I love red paired with grey. I would love to do the same when I need to update my flooring in the future on my Fish and Ski boat which happens to be grey and red as well. Hopefully you are able to find a sweet Boxing Day sale for your next Garmin Echomap(s) to really dial in your electronics. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all the best for 2024!

[@JoseMartinez-dq4km]

Great video love the channel. Our weather here in Michigan has been a little different this year

[@MaineStreamFishing]

Damn Ben! What a day to go out on! I gave up a while back

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks brother! I’m thinking of slipping out again on Saturday. The weathers looking too nice to pass up :-). I hope you’re doing well and have a great holiday dude!!!

[@weirdbeardfishin]

My Favorite blade is the Venom Lures Vibramax❗️ They come with Death Grip hooks that grabs a fish I they even look at it! Definitely my go to winter bait for sure!

[@dalereed658]

Wow that was a great outing and even more impressive catching them on a blade bait. I’ve heard you talk a bunch about blade baits but that video backed it up. Thanks for the content. Happy Holidays and best wishes in 2024.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you so much Dale. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and holidays as well! 2024 will be a great year, I feel it

[@HookLife]

Your vids are still some of my favorite. That was an epic last fishing day of 2023 especially for December. I still have such little confidence in the blade. Which is crazy because I have a lot confidence in lifting the trap. So many of my river smallies will be tight to wood so that’s gonna be challenging. 😅. Sincerely hoping that you and all Your ladies have an awesome Christmas and New Years. 2024 is gonna be incredible. 🍻

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you so much, that means a LOT! You’ll have to try bladebaiting some time. It’s a lot of fun just like lifting a trap. It straight up catches them when it’s cold. A lot of our fish get tight to wood this time of year too. I love dragging a jig as well when they’re on wood really tight Thank you for all the support. Here’s to an amazing 2024! I hope you and yours have an amazing Christmas and New Year

[@chriswood9693]

Thanks for posting. I would never have thought bass would hit a dead sticked blade bait.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Chris! It’s a unique bite we stumbled on a few years ago. Hopefully it’ll be a unique way you can try fishing a blade too and will catch some extra fish

[@JA-xx2wf]

Awesome vid Ben. Did you see every fish on ffs?

[@gman8271]

Great video! Up here once my temps reach high to mid 30’s they won’t touch a blade.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Here a blade is and ice-up technique. Can stay on it as long as there is open water :-)

[@jamiecollert2011]

Awesome video..how big of a body of water are you fishing? Did you ride around until you found fish on your graph?

[@bobpayseno7481]

That looked like a great day of smallmouth bass fishing Ben. That one bass you caught after being hung up was awesome! Thanks so much for bringing us along with you! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 👍🏻👏

[@brnowak_fishing]

It was such a fun day! That fish spooked me when it started pulling back 😂 Have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well Bob!

[@bobpayseno7481]

@@brnowak_fishing Thanks Ben! I’m looking forward to watching your content in 2024!😊👍🏻

[@stevencroft4850]

Always love watching your videos. Thanks for a great year. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks so much Steven! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@neiljacob3446]

What other baits would you throw in water that cold? I heard you mention swimbait and jerkbait. Anything else a favorite?

[@JMcIntyre417]

Love seeing the Option and the Taction rods in action! Just got the Option and can’t wait to put it to use! Love the fishing videos, man

[@brnowak_fishing]

They’re so good! I love those new series rods, they turned out so good!

[@chuckbailey7200]

I've never thrown a bladebait, and want to try it. But the link you have shared has 15 bladebait options on the page... so this newbie wants to know what were you using in the video? Thanks!

[@klfishing444]

👍👍👍🔥

[@aarondittyfishing]

Awesome stuff bro! I recognize the blade 😂 I can see I should’ve thrown another coat of 2k clear on there. The paint job would’ve definitely held up better. Might just go in the shop and paint some up! Got some new ones to send ya too 🎣
