  • Koaw damages his spine while surveying creeks and rivers with nets and fishing rigs. Many cool Michigan fishes including Iowa darter with black spot disease, western blacknose dace, brook stickleback, and maybe even a northern sunfish.

    Surgery went well last week! Should be up-and-moving in a few weeks. Thanks for the support and good luck out there!

    Its been forever since I've caught a Northern sunfish, its been so long in fact that I thought they were Pumpkinseeds haha. Learn something new every day.

      Yeah, those northern's can look so similar to pumpkinseeds that the IDs are tricky.

    Great video man.👍love the descriptions of all the fish. Love the music in between too. How do you get those clear pictures on the fish and get them to sit still? Thanks😎

    • @KNFishingSmarts
      @KNFishingSmarts  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah thanks much! For the clear pictures I use my mini-glass tanks and try to get most shots with my DSLR. Glass just offers such clear photos. I made a video on how to make these tanks th-cam.com/video/zJT9SD8tk_0/w-d-xo.html . As for getting 'em to sit still: If the tank is small enough they won't move around too much. Otherwise, it's about snapping a whole bunch of photos and just nabbing a good one out of the lot.

    I recently bought some bantam sunfish for my biotope native aquarium. I noticed 1 has a few black specks on his body, wasn't sure what exactly it was or if it was harmful. Once I saw the Iowa darter at 4:23 I knew that's exactly what is on my fish! Thanks koaw! 👍🏻 now I know what to treat for 🙂

    The very first big mouth bass you caught was so tiny! Do they spawn upstream and then move out into lakes when they’re big enough to hold their own?

    • @KNFishingSmarts
      @KNFishingSmarts  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Sarah! Usually the bass don't spawn in the small creeks/streams. Typically the adult bass spawn in a bigger water source (lake, pond, river). That little bass probably just came upstream from the nearby lake.
