Special effects had me smiling, stats are great, 360 camera is awesome. Looks like a Garmin kicker reactor 40 on your kicker?... that's what I use on my kicker and it probably saved my marriage. Also interesting on how you revive the fish you release and bleed out the ones you keep. Got a new subscriber.
Hey thanks for watching and for the comments. You are very observant and didn't miss a thing lol. I appreciate it and it makes the post editing work worth it. Yes we do have the Reactor 40 and it is awesome. Lol yes, the marriage saver indeed. We have it on our Evinrude which is not compatible with the reactor 40, so we have steering but no throttle control. Bummer because I had it on a previous Suzuki kicker, so I miss that feature. I had a local machinist make me up 24 small bushings for the connecting arm ends, that is what has been wearing over the past seasons. We are good for at least the next 12 years now. We release the majority of our fish and keep what we need to eat and any that won't revive. Can't keep em all! We drag them along and make sure they are ready to go before releasing. Seems like the right thing to do. btw, I love Michigan. I use to travel for work to several locations from River Rouge to East Tawas. Great people Thanks for subscribing!
Hey Scott, thanks for the question. The history of the name is that my father's boat never had a name, his nick name was Crow. When I inherited that boat I gave it the name 'ol Crow out of respect to my father. We then sold that boat in 2020 and bought a new boat together with my son. Since it was an upgrade to what we had, we decided to call it 'ol Crow 2.0, for version 2. No link to whiskey or Bud Anderson's P51. Our surname is Crozier, everyone calls us Crow for short; my father, me, my son and I am sure my Grandson will get it too. Thanks for watching, asking questions, and providing tips!
Hello Mike, you asked a great question! Thank you. It required me to pause my response until I double checked at the boat this morning. We have two brands; 1: The Fish Grip made in USA, they have a website and 2: Rapala Floating Fish Gripper as seen on Amazon. Both are fine but we have had a few fish release by themselves with the Rapala brand. On that note, I seen today that Bass Pro/Cabela's has Bass Pro Shops® Lunker Lock Gripper. It has a lock feature. I think I might try that gripper for when we are bleeding out a keeper. No worries of it floating off without us noticing. One other tip for you. We attached a nylon rope to each grip to get em away from the boat along with a d ring to snap to the boat. I can't tell you how many times we have been dragging a fish and bringing in a line and the treble goes into the nylon rope. You're pretty much screwed and have to cut the barb off the treble, takes you out of the action while you switch spoons. Today we switch one rope out for a cable to try. It will eliminate our grief. We drag at the back of the boat but if you were dragging on the side it may not be as much of a problem. Nylon ropes and hooks are not friends. I hope this info is helpful and I would love for you to try and recoup these bad boys. As I say, respect to the King! Thanks for watching!
Hi Mike, I've used Fish Grips and have found that if you're not careful the lower jaw on the salmon can split at the tip and the fish will come out of the still closed Fish Grips. The larger the fish, the more this is an issue. I love Fish Grips. Just be careful where you grip the fish. For fish we are keeping we use a great big carabiner from Harbor Freight. We carefully insert it through the mouth and out under the gills. We have the carabiner on a rope hanging in the water to bleed out the fish. The carabiner is also a good handle for handling the fish. The giant carabiners are not expensive, so we have several on the boat. Good luck!

Hello Cap'n Crow, Any link to the Ol' Crow 2.0 name to the whiskey or the famous WW2 fighter ace pilot Bud Anderson's P 51? Great video. Thanks

@@captcrow Very nice. Thanks
Can you name and explain the releases that you are holding the fish on so that they can recoup. I love it and want to do the same.

I was thinking of using the carabiner too for bleed outs as well; I haven't been able to source one yet (in Canada). Good tip Scott
The carabiners I have are 8-inch from Harbor Freight. They have a rubber grip on them that I remove.@@captcrow
