Thanks C. a. for two great days of fishing !

[@NoleYakin]

Great stuff CA I've gone even further and switched from trebles to single inline hooks with the barb smashed, you do have to use a light inline hook to not weigh them down too much

[@Thonny]

Love that hat CA!

[@flatsclasscharters]

You know you want one! 😎

Doug Hannon was a friend and mentor to me. My parents were in the Porsche club with he and his wife. The first fish I caught was a bluegill off his dock when I was 6 years old. His wife made the doughballs I caught them with. When I got into bass fishing he gave me my first bait cast reel and taught me how to use it on that dock. I still have it 41 years later. He was a genius at all things fishing and a great man who loves to share. My dad still has the mount of a 10 pounder be caught with Doug. The Hannons are missed.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Wow… appreciate the feedback about Doug. He was impressive and his ideas and strategies really worked!

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

Yours too! Keep up the great work. Love what you do!

[@henryschmidt636]

I met Mr. Hannon at a Tampa News-Press fishing expo. He had the firmest longest handshake! We spoke for what seemed like hours about the Slug-go. I was and still am mesmerized by every word he spoke.

[@lowcountrytobackcountryins3049]

@Henry Schmidt he did love the Sluggo! He kept a bricked in pond with an observation window in it in his backyard. He'd usually have 4-5 giant bass in there. The water was dark so when you held a shiner over the water you'd about crap yourself when a huge bass exploded out of the water to eat it! He always got a kick out of that!😄

[@Hammerhead90]

Love your work! Conservation goes a long way making our fisheries better! Fish on!🤙🏽

[@flatsclasscharters]

Thanks for your support

[@Austin-px2ez]

Nothing like a good celsdog to start off the day 🤣🤣🤣

[@flatsclasscharters]

I knew that was coming

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

Haha great vid as always CA. You should try the new lemon lime flavor Celsius it’s awesome 👍🏼

[@flatsclasscharters]

I’m going to try it!

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

Hey CA. Love the channel. Question. Knowing what we do about barbless hooks, why don't hook manufactures make barbless hooks? Has it been pitched to David Fladd with Eye Strike.

[@auggyboy284]

Say loud for the “hard of hearing” fishermen. So many have been brainwashed into thinking a barbs are needed on hooks….especially Bass guys😝
And yes Celsius is a staple for the drive home👍🏽

[@flatsclasscharters]

Thanks for the back up Auggy!

[@edorofish]

I smashed the barbs down on my hooks during the last trip. Trout seem to have a tender mouth and if you're not careful their mouth gets ripped up when unhooking for release.

[@flatsclasscharters]

Good advice!

[@AdrianLParker]

Maybe show examples of how easy it is to extract barbless hooks? I'm @4:21 and not seen how easy it is yet.

[@ReelNewwt]

I mean I guess it depends on what your goal is

[@flatsclasscharters]

Of course

[@Pescador2022]

Yeah…I am mashing barbs.. much easier to release👍

[@bucmcmaster]

Barbless is the way to go! Barbless singles are even better on cranks..............treble hooks suck.

[@AdrianLParker]

PS don't fish spawning fish

[@fredmatthews2570]

Very nice sideliner
