Smallmouth bass fishing below Pennsylvania’s LARGEST LAKE! First smallies on my hand reel!

Finally, finally, finally got my first smallmouth bass today on the hobo reel! Went down to the Juniata river below Raystown lake armed with simple gear. Pulled out 5 species, one HUGE creek chub, and a 2lb smallmouth!
This was one of, if not my favorite, videos to make. I hope you enjoy it!

Absolutely awesome video!!! I see you hit Rutters 😅 Like your shirt!

[@steveoutdoorsuk1788]

Absolutely brilliant!
You're definitely onto a winner at that beautiful location.
It would be awesome to see you do an overnight camp catch and cook now that summer's here.
Thanks for sharing. 👍👍

In my home waters, I'm 10min away from the spillway. Right time of year, amazing fishing all the way up to striped bass that came over the spillway.

I saw a Musky in like 6 foot of water below the spillway out there!

Great stuff buddy! Im in SC and we have great outdoors here but y'all seem to have some great fishing in PA. The diversity of species caught on one lure in one general location was awesome! That chub at the end was INSANE!

[@thehobohandliner]

Thanks for watching! Yeah i seem to be catching a good variety lately. Alot of the videos coming up/posted this summer, have 4-7 species
