WHERE DID WE GO? Channel update for May 26/24!

The off-season brings lots of different emotions and thoughts. Do we continue? Do we step away from public life? Do we keep doing what worked in the past?
Do we push forward and blaze new trails?
We have had all those thoughts, here's an update on where we, Team 54 or Bust are at today, May 26/24

You are the best. I love the transparency you have. The content you make is top notch. I appreciate your honest opinions on things.

[@54orbust]

I appreciate that comment more than you can know, we try to be as honest and real as we can be. This is us. This is real life. We will not sugar coat it and we will never lie to our community. Thank you so much for all the support, it truly means the world to us!!!

[@nathanlodder1006]

Let the haters hate! We all Love you guys! Thanks for all the years of great content. Looking forward to 2024, Cheers to all of you at 54 Or Bust

[@54orbust]

Cheers to that! We love our amazing community! Truly the best part of doing all this! Can't thank you enough!!

[@jeffadee812]

54 is awesome. You take care of you and your family as needed. We are happy to get your content. You are a great teacher and not many musky guys do a good job of that.

[@54orbust]

So very much appreciate the kind words! We love helping others catch more fish and for us, it's not about the 'me' it's about the 'you' we do this to help other learn from our mistakes! Appreciate you!

[@philipanderson6703]

Great job girls you two are doing wonderful, keep it up. 👍👍 it’s funny I remember the excitement when WE hit 1000 viewers….drop the 🎤 Looking foward to another great season from the 54 team…🙏

[@54orbust]

Thanks Phil! Appreciate that you've been there from day one, that's means a bunch to us! Let's keep it Rollin'

[@cabbagedragonmedia]

Great video. It’s important these messages are told because it’s easy to take for granted a 10-15 minute on KZbin but those videos require a creative mind and a lot of effort to produce. Breaks are important to clear the mind and keep the creative juices going, particularly when the drama outweighs the fun. Keep it up, everybody is waiting to see what you put out in 2024!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Kyle, through youtube, you have became a great friend! It's very true that the amount of work almost everyone in the youtube environment puts in doesn't get taken at face value. But we love the videos we produce and to be able and look back on those memories is priceless! Appreciate all you do for us and the sport!

[@heinrichbier4759]

I trapped leeches for a summer around Sioux narrows and Nestor falls. A bridge too far! Hope to fish there again someday.

[@54orbust]

Ha, thats awesome! Would love to connect with you if your ever up this way again!

[@mitchellgenz1373]

Keep up the great work Glen, I figured you were taking a break. I enjoy the videos and appreciate your friendship. Looking forward to fishing with you again in August.

[@54orbust]

Thanks Mitch! Just letting everyone know what was up, the good the bad and that other thing. Appreciate you brother!

[@brucekent7859]

Please just keep going. Your channel is so valuable and entertaining. Can’t be all things to all people but you sure are a lot of things to a lot of people.

[@54orbust]

Appreciate that Bruce! We gotcha! Lots of stuff coming at you over the next few weeks!

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Great video Glenn. I’m grateful for the update and understand it isn’t all that easy to keep active putting content out there, for reasons shown and explained. I understand it 100%. It takes a lot of work to create these videos. I would rather watching fewer videos that have high quality content. I love the 54 or Bust approach! Keep on going, just stay the same! Thanks a million!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Dirk, appreciate that! We are just weekend anglers, who put in a lot of hours. We just don't have enough time on the water to have the amount of content of say a Doug Wegner. We'll keep doing what we do and how that everyone enjoys it and gets value from it!

[@tanyatillotson542]

Love your fishing videos looking forward to 2024.

[@54orbust]

Thanks for that! Appreciate your support!

[@smithsfishingoutdoors]

Keep it up Glen. You know as well as us that it’s a labor of love.

[@54orbust]

So true! Hope you're doing well after your health issues? Keep it up as well buddy! Appreciate the encouragement!

[@erinjohnson2155]

Love the content always, everyone needs a break and a reset. Can’t wait for the season to finally start will always support your 54family❤🏆👍🏻

[@54orbust]

Appreciate that Erin! We're coming, hurry up musky season and show up already!

[@James_vasmillionthevile]

From finding your channel to helping my wife and I with our quest to catch a musky. To meeting you in person. You, your family, and the 54 or Bust community have always been amazing. There is a lot that comes when anyone puts their self out there on the internet. I believe and strongly guess that others feel the same way that you’re doing it right. Keep it down to earth, informative, and not a show about “see how great me or the channel is “. Negativity unfortunately will always be a part of it. A recharge break is totally needed. I hope you never have to feel that this is a chore but only a passion!!! If I were rich or could sponsor 54 or Bust more I would. With the wife’s approval of course lol. I can’t wait to see what you guys have in store for us in the future. And know we will support it🤘

[@54orbust]

Appreciate you James and Karen. It wasn't meant to be a complain video, just a 'this is the real life drama' we deal with. We live what we do, and this was never about me, if it was I would have called it Glenn McDonald Fishing, this is about YOU, the 54 or Bust Community! Without such great, loyal support we would never do this. Without the support of so many amazing companies and builders this wouldn't be possible as well. We owe it all you you and them! I thank you sir!

[@James_vasmillionthevile]

The “ Dark Knight “ rises. I still won’t join Facebook or Instagram sir. But Karen did and that made me a winner on your channel 😎

[@LaneOutdoorAdventuresTV]

Hey Glenn I love your videos. Thank you. I am trying to start putting out musky content. It really is not easy.

[@54orbust]

Thanks for the support! Stick with it, build a routine on editting vs filming and don't get caught up in the vanity metrics over the first year or two. And when the haters come, wear it one a badge of honour! It can be tough at times, but the positive connections are so great!

[@scott6031]

Sorry to hear you’re dealing with that drama. You guys are awesome, love your vids and look forward to what you have in store for us this year!

[@54orbust]

All part of it, there is no success without someone kicking you around on the way up. Appreciate the kind words! It's the community that has organically grown that keeps us rolling!

[@MattVavrochFishing]

Great stuff and as always appreciate you guys keeping it real. You have some serious firepower bay you acquired in the off season!

[@54orbust]

We have a good selection of awesome lures to be sure! Such an amazing time to be a musky angler, so many cool baits to use and try! We gotta keep things real, we owe the public and all our supporters that!

[@atrickofthefloyd4208]

Great video Glen! My group will be up for musky opener this year and we’ll be stopping by Bobby’s for sure

[@54orbust]

Appreciate the support for our channel as well As Bobby's Sport Shop! If I'm around I'll say hi!

[@SLuhman]

I enjoy your videos, looking forward to this year

[@54orbust]

Thanks so much! Plenty more to come in the next few weeks, get ready for lots of action!

[@jtennyck56]

Looking forward to this season! Keep up the great work!

[@54orbust]

Appreciate the support! We still have a few tricks up our sleeves!

[@bigjgordon]

You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. Too bad about that particular negative reaction to the draw, but sounds like you have the right attitude about it! And I don’t think some of those baits were baits - looks like the girls raided a couple of cheerleading squads for their pompoms! (HUGE!!) thanks for the update Glenn!

[@54orbust]

It's always good to feel like your a target, that means we've had some success. It does it home at times, we try hard to keep it real, but you're right, we're not for everyone. The girls are loving the chance to be a bigger part of our channel. After all this is about way not than just me!

[@heinrichbier4759]

Red October is the best!

[@54orbust]

I LOVE Red October Baits, period!

[@ItsMasq]

Great video, Glenn! Very enlightening to the behind the scenes of production. I’m super happy to have had the chance to contribute to the future of the channel via the raffle - and happy I was able to grab the Scallywag haha. Unfortunate to hear that there was some drama associated :/ but glad that the channel is moving forward and absolutely cannot wait to watch you guys this year!!

[@54orbust]

Appreciate the support on the channel! And with the raffle! Big things on the horizon for us and we hope you'll all stick around for the ride!

[@droptinetackle]

There's no way you're quiting now!!

[@54orbust]

A break, a return, a bigger and better 54 or Bust! We're going all in this season!

[@normbutler6627]

Rock on, 54 or Bust!!!!!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Norm! We'll keep on rocking in the free world!

[@deanmentjes7774]

Love the channel and all you do!

[@54orbust]

Thanks Dean, you've been there from day one, and that means the world to us. We appreciate you, more than we could possibly pay back.

[@cadris36]

It would be great if you could put a link to the baits you show of where we could purchase them. Thanks.

[@54orbust]

You bet, this was a teaser. Lots of detailed info to follow! Appreciate the suggestion!

[@JimJanik-un8cs]

I know you talked about ALOT of baits in here, but as you do your reviews can you please leave a link where we can order them? Some really cool stuff that may work on the waters i fish as well

[@54orbust]

Each of those baits will have its own episode, no fear, with links and details on how the builder recommends we use them! Starting tomorrow get ready for a steady stream of tackle talks, with an edge! Appreciate you!
