  • This is easily the best fishing channel on YouTube. None of that stupid-ass, loud, obnoxious, ridiculous "music" and no faked emotions. Just the sounds of a man at one with nature...well done.
  • @Offsides09
    His casting precision is really impressive.
  • @johnkosterimages
    Man, you are a terrific caster, it's not easy throwing those things under the trees and bushes and not getting hung up all the time. Great channel!
  • @locdogwitd9
    Best kayak fishing channel I have seen in my whole life.. calm and clear.. no jumping and screaming like everyone else. Love it

    I've had other BPM baits youtube.com/post/UgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZ… before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

    I can’t believe how good this guy is at casting. Like…he could literally hit a bullseye if you had one in the water somewhere.
  • Thanks for taking me along! I enjoyed "our" fishing trip! I was so into it and relaxing!
  • @perryj8850
    So nice to see green trees and blue skies! I just came in from shoveling snow.

    Ima newbie to fishing my dad never showed me or took me fishing but watching you cast and talk about where ur fishing and just watching you enjoy fishing is aweosme to watch. One love brother
  • @brandonjames2368
    So, I noticed something odd about your videos, ND; when watching your vids, I get a feeling of calm relaxation that I myself do not achieve when I am out on the water...your "zen-ness" is just awesome. As others have said, there's no obnoxious music or forced emotions; you're just a guy in a kayak enjoying a day doing what you love! Maybe I'm too invested in myself when fishing vs. watching someone else, but DAMN are you great to watch! Thanks for the videos and advice! I hope to one day get up to the Boundary Waters for a 7-10 day kayaking trip and land me some of those Pike they're famous for. FISH ON!!!
  • So thankful you save warm weather vids to post in the winter. I needed this!
  • Thank you so much for still having content to release in winter. It keeps me sane
  • @JulieT..
    Wow, the swimming motion of the lure looks very realistic. I have never seen a rat lure before, so cool. 👍🎣
  • @fishdude666ify
    After watching a few episodes, i feel comfortable saying you are the Bob Ross of fishing.
  • @j.a.1785
    The Bob Ross of fishing is back! All those happy little lures catching happy little fish. Love this channel.
  • Ahhh...glad I found this channel! No BS, no fake corny emotions. No hand and fingers rolled up in a fist held to your mouth "Oh my God Oh My god" "Did you just see that?". Appreciate the quality content, and your skill. This makes me miss the personality and culture of the upper midwest. Thanks.

    My parents have been fighting lately and you inspired me to go fishing with my family and make them make the fighting stop. Thank you for inspiring me to go fishing..
