    Victor, you cannot imagine how much we think alike. My dream is to drive to Tennessee and fish with you one day on the way to Smokey Mountain Knife Works. You made me cry laughing about all the $h|tt¥ people. I too cannot fish until I also cleanup my fishing spots too bro. So glad you had better footing this time at this spot unlike last time when you caught that monster white bass.

    You were on a role my friend. Had me laughing from play to good bye. Shity people seem to garvitate to the shoreline and we have them here too. Maybe the fishing gods are already are reeking havoc on them. Seeing that their line is on the bank and not in their reels is a good sign they are struggling lol.
    Speaking of the Trout magnet, I picked up ten packs of the bison the other day just because they do so well but I did also grab 1 pack of the green and black. They get tons of action as well. I have a feeling most of them do. Now I kind of wish I had mixed it up more but it's hard to not throw what I know works.

      I hope you stopped dressing the stumps at the bottom of your local reservoir with the BGs : ). When i get my next batch of jigs, I will send you one of my float prototypes. I'm still not happy with the finish but performance is... something that i think you will appreciate.

    Sorry to say Victor but one spot I go to has trash cans every 100ft there is at least 8 of them. And yes we still fill our plastic bags up. I could of stayed in that corner for hours catching BG’s! Thanks for putting your setup information up in the corner, and for trying to keep area clean.

      This is actually a problem here. Even if people want to put it in a garbage can, there are no garbage cans except at the biggest parks. So u need to be conscious enough to take the garbage all the way home, and these people just wont do that, no matter what u threaten them with

    I swear, Victor, I love your videos but this one was stellar. You are so funny. Kudos for picking up all that trash. I believe everyone should carry a bucket with a lid to collect trash and then sit on it when they are bank fishing. Of course, people should realize that leaving junk is why so many areas get shut off to fishing. In Illinois, people also do dumb stuff, drown, and then the area is fenced off to fishing forever. This happened at the Crab Orchard spillway, in Wilmington by the dam, and by almost all other dams in the state.

    Good afternoon, Sir.
    I deal with the same problem as you are having. Some people don' t really care about leaving trash behind. It is bothering me quite a bit. They can bring stuff in, but they can take it back. Some of my favorite spots were being closed by game waden because of trash. Enjoy watching your YT.. Like the sound of your drag...

    Nice Vids. I always enjoy your fishing video. Informative as always. You might like the Tict Ice Cube Rockin Finesse or the Rockin drift rod. I believe Randy has it. The most fun rod I have I must say will be the eradicator 67 sul and 69 xul version. Not even my evergreen limber tip is much fun although i might get the evergreen sensor xul version just to have it. lol.. Great vid again Vic.

    Forgot to mention , i know your not one for braid but i had the same problem with the Varivas 1.3lb ester line . The noise through the guides and the choking of the casting distance with jig heads of 1 gram and under was unacceptable . Try Varivas super trout area master limited super premium pe 0.15 4.5lb test . Gosen fata resonater pe 0.12 2.5lb is even better because it comes in even thinner size . I think you may be suprised . Not converted but maybe you might find a place for it in your fishing with rods that have these tiny micro guides . They are both good lines .

    • @ifishcatfish
      @ifishcatfish  ปีที่แล้ว

      I dont even remember, did i say in some video thatni hate braid? I do hate it… but dont remember ralking anout that. Im sure it has great performance but i dont like how it feels when i fight the fish. It is very harsh, i can feel the tear in the mouth of the fish. As for gosen, i tried their polyesters and i know they are good, every bit as good as varivas if u ask me. I just never found a color i can put on my tackle. They beed to sell clear color.

    Love your sticky grease, just the best I have used, even works great on carbon disc washers, was going to replace them with fiber if I could find . Not the case now they are really smooth and no hesitations at all, they are like butter. Please offer in larger size. And also yes release all fish caught during their spawning. .

    • @ifishcatfish
      @ifishcatfish  ปีที่แล้ว

      I appreciate the feedback, Gary! Noted on the container size. The only reason i picked this one was because the container is cheap itself, and is easy to ship and i just used it to collect feedback. But i think the grease is here to stay and i will look for a nicer, a little larger container that is kind of flat and easy to ship.

    Nice video Victor. That rod is right up my alley, I like that type of action since I hook into a lot of bass while crappie\BG fishing. I also agree, so frustrating to go to shore fishing spots and see garbage everywhere. Disgusting! And when those "grown ups" bring their kids, the chain just continues. ugh. Will let ya know how your grease works when i get it. Cheers.

      3. I appreciate u picking up the trash. Bitching is fine, as it raises awareness, but i see people bitch but then don't pick up anything. It's important to set good example because there is more good people and shitty people and some good people always get inspired by good deeds.
