I think the best thing that ever happened to me was when my wife lost a fish. Me and my wife who was my girlfriend at the time were at lake st. Claire in Michigan fishing for small mouth bass. My girlfriend was absolutely slaying them on a tube jig but she wasn't feeling the whole fishing thing at all. Then all the sudden she hooks into a fish that about ripped the rod out of her hands. She is freaking out, I'm trying to coach her on how to fight a big fish. I don't know if it was a muskie or a pike but it was at least 40 inches, It leapt out of the water about 20 foot from shore, breaking the line. It was tragic and beautiful and because of that day my wife still fishes with me. That was maybe 4 years ago. I thought this was an appropriate story considering this was a muskie video were you caught a bass and mine was a bass trip almost ending with a muskie. Love your videos, keep up the good work
Congrats Scott! You won the giveaway for the Rock Bass. Let me know a way to contact you through email, or Instagram, and I'll ask for your shipping address from there.
You can give me an email address in this comment thread right here, or send an email to: marlingbaits@gmail.com. I just need to make sure I’m sending the rock bass to you and not someone pretending to be you.
The best thing that happened to me fishing was learning from my grandma how to fish, she had all the tricks and the patience, she would have a huge smile while casting and telling me stories of how she fished with her father 50 years back. Grandma passed 4 years ago and every time I go fishing I know she is fishing too, wherever she may be.
Best thing that’s ever happened to me fishing ? Has too be taking my dad fishing right before he passed away we were on the Des Moines river catching 2 pound white bass every cast ! Just Dad and me a incredible day of father son rivalry teasing and fun !
one of the best things from my childhood. I was taking a canoe trip with my parents down the Missouri river in Mt. it was the end of the trip and I had run out of my childhood bait, night crawlers. I looked around for something to put on the hook, a hopper, anything really. Then I spotted it! A misplaced green grape dropped into the gravel along the bank. I hooked it up and cast out. A giant armored grey behemoth of a fish rolled on the surface and my 1980s 6lb test spinning set up went taught. The fish of my life was on, a giant sturgeon! However, being a cheap 1980s spinning set up there wasn't a drag and the line pinged and in that moment my legendary catch and self worth vanished down river...the best and worst day of fishing in my life. As an adult I got to fish the columbia river and found my self worth once again in a nice green sturgeon.
I went fishing with my late grandpa’s best friend that had bought his boat after he passed. At the end of the trip he handed me a bill of sale and told me that he wanted me to have it. I was so grateful and almost cried. Best day ever. Ps. We caught a few fish too.
2 years ago, I went to my grandparent's house to fish at a private lake they live on. The first day I got there, I hooked a HUGE pickeral that snapped my line at boatside!! Fast forward to my last day there, and right before I was about to leave, I got another huge pickeral! Love ur videos!
Hands down best thing that ever happened to me while on a fishing trip was the time when I snagged a pair of sunglasses out of a small lake I frequent. The exact pair belonged to the same fishing buddy that was with me 3 years prior and dropped them in the water! He still has those sunglasses to this day as a relic and conversation piece!
The most positive best thing that happened to me out on a fishing trip was :- I had a life changing psychotic break when I was at the lowest point in my life. I ended up in the mental health unit. But from there I was able to change my whole life style, and with a whole heap of hard work turn my life around, get a great job and still be here for my beautiful family. My turning point 😊
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was getting to spend many magical days with my late father and pass that love of the best sport on Earth on to my son. Fishing had given more to me than I will ever be able to repay.
Best moment I've ever had fishing...my daughter (3years old at the time) fishing my favorite salt water spot. I gave her her rod. She made a decent cast for a 3 year old and caught her own little skipjack. Maybe the size of a dollar bill. She was screaming and crying and laughing all at once. It was definitely a proud moment as a father and a fisherman. It doesn't get much better than that. I caught a couple big blues that day so all in all...was an amazing day to be remembered! I absolutely love the content and whether I win that lovely bass or not...I'm glad I got to share that moment with a bunch of like minded individuals! Keep up the good stuff!! Great content!!
Best thing for me was when I was 8 years old and was fishing at a dam with my dad and 2 older brothers. I was mad I didn't catch anything but they did, so I slammed my jig in the water about 2 feet in front of me from a big boulder I was standing on and reeled it in and out from under the boulder a nice 3 1/2 foot Northern Pike snatched my jig right in front of me. I went nuts sand started screaming "Who's the best baby... who's the best!! Was the coolest thing I will ever remember. I had the biggest fish of the day.
Taking my son out on his first fishing adventure and trying to teach him how to enjoy the outdoors. 16 years later and our trip last week, he was teaching me a few new techniques. I believe he has found himself and the peace that can be found outdoors.Please give that Rock bass to a young person and inspire them to enjoy being creative!! You do amazing things and I truly enjoy watching your mind work. Also Chip and the fun facts help. Take care and keep creating!!
the best thing that ever happened to me during a fishing trip was catching a bass on a lure that I made after watching one of your vids, it was a really bad lure but after a few hours of throwing it I finally got a bite and landed a pound and a half largemouth
The best thing ever to happen to me while fishing was when i was really young. I never really lived with my dad growing up but he influenced me in motorcycles, good old fashion rock music, and fishing. He took me only once when i was really young and i don't remember anything but him hooking a fish and handing me his rod with a smile on his face. That single memory got me into fishing and i'm glad it happened to me.
I was fishing one afternoon with my dad and I tripped and snapped my new rod in half so I was really upset about it and 20 minutes later some older man came up to me because he seen me break my rod and he gave me his brand-new rod for steelhead fishing when I was 11 now im 16 and I still use that rod every year
My 7 year old girl won a fly fishing rod and reel when I entered use in a fishing clinic weekend!I know this is over but it brought back a great memory.nows she’s in her 30s.that was a great day. Her face just lit up when they handed it to her at the end of the day!! Thanks for bringing that memory back to me!!
One memorable moment was catching the very fish that broke off my lure earlier that afternoon and getting both lures out cleanly so the fish could keep swimming around and doing fish things
The best thing that ever happened to me on a fishing trip was being taught how much fun it is, and how to... by my awesome grandfather when I was a little boy. Paw "my grandfather" and I were good buds. I spent lots of time with him learning how to garden, fish, and just how to be a good man and enjoy life. I miss paw but will never forget all that he taught me and all the fun we had together. What a great friend and mentor he was to me.
Your lure making inspired me to make one for a woodwork weekend project and thanks to you it got full marks and everyone loved it I’m also starting a small fishing account trying to make fishing my career
My girlfriend broke up with me. Best thing ever! More time for fishing. I won $50 on a lottery ticket too that day and went and bought a dog! Keep up the good work. Love your content man!
The best thing that happened to me when I was fishing was at the 1st time I actually tried to fish on my own (after watching your videos I got so intrigued I just had to try this myself). I was 20 years old at the time, and being a girl I expected a lot of lengthy conversations with other fishermen about how and what I did wrong, and it did happen, but then an old lady came to me, put her hand on my shoulder and said that she haven't seen a female fisherman here since she was my age, and that she's proud of me and really hopes that I will continue fishing. I caught 2 fish that day!
I was with my dad and brother fishing at my Great Aunt’s Pond. My dad was throwing his Heddon Tiny Crazy Crawler in Red and White and hooked the biggest bass of his life. He got it in and wouldn’t let anyone else oar the boat bc he was afraid he would fall in and loose the fish. So he oared the Jon Boat in one side at a time. 😂. It was such a special memory for me. After surviving 2 cancers and loosing my dad I decided to make a bait in his honor and the Big D’s Crawler was born! I now make baits at my bait company Jon Jon’s Outdoors and The Big D’s crawler was my first launch. Funny how a fishing moment can change a life. Thanks Nate for the opportunity to share JJ
I was fishing on a trip in Minnesota and caught a 41 1/4 inch Muskie and it was after an entire day of not catching a single thing, and I was fishing with 10 pound test Monofilament for bluegill with hook and worm,biggest fight I ever had, and the best thing that's ever happened to me while fishing
I watched my daughter fish for the first time about a month ago. We sat there and caught bluegill all day. She loves it and now we go every week. She also loves watching these videos with me. Thanks for making them
the best thing that happened to me was getting to enjoy the outdoors with my dad and having several of those once in a lifetime catches and sharing that with my father
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was getting an email from Nate Marling telling me I won a Rock Bass lure (and that he subscribed to my channel).
I was fishing/camping in lapland and my rod snapped. I didnt have a replacement with me. I had caught some fish earlier. i gathered up my gear and i walked to a near by cottage (i dont know if this is the corect word) Anyway i ate the fish what i caught, and i hear atv's coming to the cottage. One of my oldest friends was riding one of them, he instantly knew it was me and greeted me. We chatted a bit and he asked me if i needed something and i said that my socks are soaking wet and my rod snapped. He just laughed and said i cant help you with your socks but i have a rod for you. Then we just went sleeping. Next morning we packed up our gear and went fishing and i gaught a quite big salmon (my pb). We ate and my friend continued his jorney, And i continued walking. We met again after that and i gave his rod back. On this trip i gaught my biggest salmon yet, with my friends rod. I met one of my best and oldest friends, And i had a great time. What more can you ask for. Sorry about the bad english.
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing occured at night when my dad and I were inshore kayak fishing. After making it out to our favorite spot between two small islands, my dad and I both had a fish on our first cast, me a 16" speckled seatrout and my dad a small catfish. That was the first and only cast for each of us that night. I landed the trout and decided to keep it, and my dad released his fish but somehow flipped his kayak, lost his pole (with new lure I got him for Christmas), and destroyed his new phone that was in his pocket. We laughed the whole way home and enjoyed the fresh caught trout as soon as we got back.
I caught a gigantic carp on one of those dinky cartoon themed Walmart rods and I reeled it in by myself without my grandpa knowing and he was super surprised when I got it in, I was 4
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing is spending time with my kids. I have a daughter and three sons. My youngest son is now 16. He and I make soft plastic baits and paint crankbaits too. Your videos are great. They are a source of education and entertainment. Keep them coming.
BEST FISHING MEMORY: I didn’t spend a large amount of time with my grandfather while he was still alive, but when I did visit him, we would always fish a pond behind my grandparents house. Never caught anything above about 2lbs until a month after he passed....We we’re cleaning out the house getting ready to sell it, and I decided to take a break and fish the pond one more time. LITERALLY my first cast caught my PB 8.5lb largemouth bass. Still to this day have not caught one that big. I know my grandfather was watching over me that day and every day since! Fishing is much more than hooking a fish and throwing it back. Life lessons can be learned each trip.
I was 16 and after the O-level exams one of the teachers took me and my mates fishing for a whole week (Sea, River, Canal and lake). On the last day we were fishing below a weir and a traveler family parked on the other side to wash some clothing. Their daughter was sublimely pretty and stripped off down to her undies and started sunbathing. I seriously considered risking life and limb and attempt to cross the raging water. I settled on waving to her and shouting over how lovely she looked. She blew me a kiss when she left. God, that makes me sound a bit girly. Still, a great day out fishing. I caught a big pike but it broke the line in the Rocky and heavy current. Didn’t care ‘cos I was watching the young lady at the time 😬
My favorite part about fishing now is taking my younger brother fishing. The way he gets excited when he catches a fish brightens up the trip without fail. He recently caught a walleye all by himself off of the dock and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandpa too me fishing 👍🏻
The best thing that has ever happened to me while fishing is remembering all the great times spent with my friends family. Just the memories and quality time is what makes me keep fishing. But its also an addiction that i love!
I believe one of the best things that ever happened to me on a fishing trip. Me and a couple friends were fishing for steelhead on a river in northern California, we got skunked and nobody caught anything. Towards the end of the day I was taking a break on the hike back to the truck and while sitting on a rock reflecting on the day I noticed something floating in the river. I went to fetch it and picked up an unopened and ice cold Coors light. It was the perfect way fishing off the day on the river. Love your videos and keep up the good work.
Best thing was this past week fishing with my grand daughters .my 3 yr old caught her first fish my 6 yr old did as well and my 8 yr old grand daughter was the one who had to pick each fish out of the net to put them back in the lake . They were all pike and they for some reason they were all as calm as can be when she picked em up and put em in the lake.She had a blast and made my day as well.
The best time I've had fishing was on a trip to our cabin in Wisconsin with my Granddad, Father, and my little brother about 15 years ago. Now that dad and grandad are both gone I look forward to taking my kids there reliving the memories with a new generation.
Honestly there isn't a moment in my time fishing that would be the best thing that ever happened, because FISHING is the best thing that ever happened to me in my life in general. The 1000's of hours spent, the money i have invested, the fun i have had and will keep having, the joy its brought to all the people i have taken with me. Oh boy, fishing is the best time i've ever had living.
Best thing to happen while fishing is getting to spend time with my now deceased grandfather. And now taking my friends to the same lake and helping them create memories.
My favorite fishing moment was watching my mom catch her record fish. It was a 27", 7 pound Wiper (Hybrid between a white bass and a striper) after just beating thyroid cancer. My mom has always loved fishing and watching her catch her record fish (pretty sure its 2nd in the state!) was absolutely amazing!
The best thing that ever happened to me fishing was catching a 8 pounder the day before my daughter was born. I had been fishing really hard all summer to get a big one before she came because I knew I would not be able to fish for a while. Also me and my wife have been watching your videos every night you put one out. The only problem is you make it look easy and know I am starting to think I could this. Keep up the good work.
It’s so hard to choose a best thing that’s happened. Honestly. Just any time I get to spend with the squad trout fishing and having beers in our usual hole on the river while catching up every year is always special for me.
My 4 year old daughter and I love to watch your videos. We aren't much of fishermen. Her comment is: "my brother got a lot of fishes". That's her best fishing memory.
At 6 years old, my dad took my twin brother and I fishing and had a lifetime memory day catching hybrid bass in super light tackle. Or catching my lifetime snook down here in Corpus Christi. Always enjoy watching your videos.
Best thing that ever happened while fishing was catching a full limit of Walleye with my brother and grandpa at my grandpas cabin up north. It's only special because we were not trying to catch walleye and we just ended up finding a spot in the reeds that had a bunch of them holed up. Something about the full moon out and amazing conversation with the ones you love while catching fish, nothing felt more pure than that moment fishing. I hope to do this with my kids and grandkids someday :)
2 years ago I was jigging for walleye and hooked into a 50 inch musky after that I was hooked now after watching all your videos I’m making my own lures love the videos
Best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was with my dad last summer. He doesn't fish often and we hadn't fished since I was a kid. Skunked all morning and he was getting a bit upset. I said to him "remember, its always the next cast" and on that very next cast he caught a nice 2lb bass! We had an incredible laugh and embrace
Best fishing memory was going fishing with my grandpa. The week of we made a hardware cloth frame that we used to catch crawfish. Walking upstream kicking up rocks the crawfish just walked up the wire and we just grabbed them. Went to a lake to fish and nadda! Dumped the leftover crawfish in the lake and my little brother freeked out for a few years because he was afraid they would bite him when he went swimming. Love those memories.
I think the best thing that ever happened to me was when my wife lost a fish. Me and my wife who was my girlfriend at the time were at lake st. Claire in Michigan fishing for small mouth bass. My girlfriend was absolutely slaying them on a tube jig but she wasn't feeling the whole fishing thing at all. Then all the sudden she hooks into a fish that about ripped the rod out of her hands. She is freaking out, I'm trying to coach her on how to fight a big fish. I don't know if it was a muskie or a pike but it was at least 40 inches, It leapt out of the water about 20 foot from shore, breaking the line. It was tragic and beautiful and because of that day my wife still fishes with me. That was maybe 4 years ago. I thought this was an appropriate story considering this was a muskie video were you caught a bass and mine was a bass trip almost ending with a muskie. Love your videos, keep up the good work

@@cacervantes68 thank you :)
I lost my favorite lure on a bass. And threw another one and caught the same bass with the lure just hanging out of his mouth.
My brother did the same on a little 1lb bass with a soft plastic worm
Zach Taylor in
That’s straight luck. That bass must have been hungry
He was still HUNGRY
Same Chris
The best thing that happened to me fishing was learning from my grandma how to fish, she had all the tricks and the patience, she would have a huge smile while casting and telling me stories of how she fished with her father 50 years back.
Grandma passed 4 years ago and every time I go fishing I know she is fishing too, wherever she may be.
I helped an old man net a 90lb sturgeon that he hooked perch fishing on 6lb test. Took 2 full sized salmon nets
That would've been the fight of a lifetime! 😀 those suckers will give 1 hell of a fight with the proper hear!
damnnnnn 6 pounds?
Thats insane
Best thing that’s ever happened to me fishing ? Has too be taking my dad fishing right before he passed away we were on the Des Moines river catching 2 pound white bass every cast ! Just Dad and me a incredible day of father son rivalry teasing and fun !
He sounds like he was a great guy
Im sorry dude sounds like he had some great times with you : )
The best thing that has happened while fishing is just getting to see the excitement and joy of my children catching a fish. !
The most positive thing that happened to me on a fishing trip was I met my late wife of 27 years
one of the best things from my childhood. I was taking a canoe trip with my parents down the Missouri river in Mt. it was the end of the trip and I had run out of my childhood bait, night crawlers.

I was legit watching one of your old vids when the notification popped up. I see you’ve gotten a taste of antique lures
You and 618 fishing are really on that antique kick
The most positive best thing that happened to me out on a fishing trip was :-
I had a life changing psychotic break when I was at the lowest point in my life. I ended up in the mental health unit.
But from there I was able to change my whole life style, and with a whole heap of hard work turn my life around, get a great job and still be here for my beautiful family. My turning point 😊
You should try to do a Mirror-Carp Lure. It would be nice, because I have never seen one.
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was getting to spend many magical days with my late father and pass that love of the best sport on Earth on to my son. Fishing had given more to me than I will ever be able to repay.

I made my first lure the other day and managed to catch a fish with it today (a decent sized bream)!
Can you catch bream with lures?
Here is Australia at least, catching Bream with lures is quite common
Best thing for me was when I was 8 years old and was fishing at a dam with my dad and 2 older brothers. I was mad I didn't catch anything but they did, so I slammed my jig in the water about 2 feet in front of me from a big boulder I was standing on and reeled it in and out from under the boulder a nice 3 1/2 foot Northern Pike snatched my jig right in front of me. I went nuts sand started screaming "Who's the best baby... who's the best!! Was the coolest thing I will ever remember. I had the biggest fish of the day.
I would have been spooked that there was a big pike like that so close to me 😂😂
Taking my son out on his first fishing adventure and trying to teach him how to enjoy the outdoors. 16 years later and our trip last week, he was teaching me a few new techniques. I believe he has found himself and the peace that can be found outdoors.Please give that Rock bass to a young person and inspire them to enjoy being creative!!

My 3 year old son catching his first fish...a priceless memory I will cherish forever!
I was fishing one afternoon with my dad and I tripped and snapped my new rod in half so I was really upset about it and 20 minutes later some older man came up to me because he seen me break my rod and he gave me his brand-new rod for steelhead fishing when I was 11 now im 16 and I still use that rod every year
Garrett Morrison that's a sweet story
Garrett Morrison, Damn that’s awesome I wonder how many fish it’s caught in it’s lifetime?
That just shows that 1 kind gesture can change a life for years if its the correct gesture
Just make sure to pay it forward in the future
Love your content. Very unique and so fun to watch!
My 7 year old girl won a fly fishing rod and reel when I entered use in a fishing clinic weekend!I know this is over but it brought back a great memory.nows she’s in her 30s.that was a great day.

My son caught his first fish and it was a huge black crappie, he was so amazed. The picture of his smile made my day
I hiked in 2.5 miles to a high mountain lake and caught my first brook trout, what a pretty fish!
My girlfriend broke up with me. Best thing ever! More time for fishing. I won $50 on a lottery ticket too that day and went and bought a dog! Keep up the good work. Love your content man!
The best thing ever happened to me while fishing is watching both of my grandsons catch their first fish and watching their reactions.
The best thing that has ever happened to me was getting out with my friends and having a lot of fun.
The best thing that happened to me while fishing was when I was bottom fishing for catfish with hotdogs, and I caught my pb bass.
lol i did some thing similar night fishing on bottom for cats and caught my own pb bass at 8 yrs old with bologna
Watching my daughter get excited about catching her first fish was my best fishing experience.

One time I was out fishing and I caught a fish. Best thing that's ever happened while fishing, maybe best thing that's ever happened in my life.
I was with my dad and brother fishing at my Great Aunt’s Pond. My dad was throwing his Heddon Tiny Crazy Crawler in Red and White and hooked the biggest bass of his life.

You should send that muskie lure to Aaron Wiebe! He will catch either big muskie or big pike on that beautiful piece!
My best fishing memory is the day when i caught my first salmon on fly!
He should keep it in its collection
I was walking back up a river from fly fishing all day when I saw a calm spot so I casted there and caught a 4 pound smallmouth bass.
Nice
@@txfisherman0614 THANKS.
The best thing that happen to me is watching my son catch his first bass! He was so excited..
Aww, That's so amazing! Have an amazing successful life!
And bless YOU and YOUR family!
I was fishing on a trip in Minnesota and caught a 41 1/4 inch Muskie and it was after an entire day of not catching a single thing, and I was fishing with 10 pound test Monofilament for bluegill with hook and worm,biggest fight I ever had, and the best thing that's ever happened to me while fishing
Wes Miller waif you were fishing for bluegill with 10 lb mono?
The best thing to happen to me while fishing is just being there...
And remember, a bad days fishing is still better than a good days work 👍🏻
Seeing my nephew catch his first fish on his own was for sure the best thing that's happened while fishing. Appreciate this opportunity!!
Nice i like it, and btw pls make a roach(type of fish) bait make it thin and tall would be very cool
I have several of the original lures from the 40's and 50's still in the package.
You have any of these?
I watched my daughter fish for the first time about a month ago. We sat there and caught bluegill all day. She loves it and now we go every week. She also loves watching these videos with me. Thanks for making them
Hi Marlin baits!
You should make a original rat-l-trap
Marlin you should make a shop online so people can buy your baits
I belive he does: marlingbaits.com
Thansk
the best thing that happened to me was getting to enjoy the outdoors with my dad and having several of those once in a lifetime catches and sharing that with my father
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was getting an email from Nate Marling telling me I won a Rock Bass lure (and that he subscribed to my channel).
😂
You must have a boring life
I was fishing/camping in lapland and my rod snapped. I didnt have a replacement with me. I had caught some fish earlier. i gathered up my gear and i walked to a near by cottage (i dont know if this is the corect word) Anyway i ate the fish what i caught, and i hear atv's coming to the cottage. One of my oldest friends was riding one of them, he instantly knew it was me and greeted me. We chatted a bit and he asked me if i needed something and i said that my socks are soaking wet and my rod snapped. He just laughed and said i cant help you with your socks but i have a rod for you. Then we just went sleeping. Next morning we packed up our gear and went fishing and i gaught a quite big salmon (my pb). We ate and my friend continued his jorney,
And i continued walking.
We met again after that and i gave his rod back.
On this trip i gaught my biggest salmon yet, with my friends rod.
I met one of my best and oldest friends,
And i had a great time.
What more can you ask for.
Sorry about the bad english.
I m pretty sure you ar from sweden i mean lapland bad English that can just be a god old svenne sorry for MY bad English
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing occured at night when my dad and I were inshore kayak fishing. After making it out to our favorite spot between two small islands, my dad and I both had a fish on our first cast, me a 16" speckled seatrout and my dad a small catfish. That was the first and only cast for each of us that night. I landed the trout and decided to keep it, and my dad released his fish but somehow flipped his kayak, lost his pole (with new lure I got him for Christmas), and destroyed his new phone that was in his pocket. We laughed the whole way home and enjoyed the fresh caught trout as soon as we got back.
I caught a gigantic carp on one of those dinky cartoon themed Walmart rods and I reeled it in by myself without my grandpa knowing and he was super surprised when I got it in, I was 4
You should make a cast of the other lure, I know I’m late.
Marling Baits. I'm always amazed of you spontaneous and creative modifications to baits. And many and most of them seem to work.
The best thing that happened to me on a fishing trip was my friends and I catching a huge bass on a barbie rod with a tomato as bait
At 200k subs you should make 200 small lures that are all different in patterns. You can do it!
Sharing fishing with my kids at the same places my Grandfather took me when I was their age is the best thing that’s happened to me fishing.
I caught a 19 lbs stripped bass on a size 14 mayfly nymph on a flyrod
The best thing that happened was rescuing a sea turtle we found lodged in between two rocks at a Jettie.
The best thing that ever happened to me while fishing is spending time with my kids. I have a daughter and three sons. My youngest son is now 16. He and I make soft plastic baits and paint crankbaits too. Your videos are great. They are a source of education and entertainment. Keep them coming.
I’ve never seen a turtle move so fast
Vudaca 2 I think the video was on 1.5 speed or something because he seemed to be moving fast with the camera too, I could be wrong though
Soft shelled turtles are a different breed!
Can you make a sailfish lure?
BEST FISHING MEMORY: I didn’t spend a large amount of time with my grandfather while he was still alive, but when I did visit him, we would always fish a pond behind my grandparents house. Never caught anything above about 2lbs until a month after he passed....We we’re cleaning out the house getting ready to sell it, and I decided to take a break and fish the pond one more time. LITERALLY my first cast caught my PB 8.5lb largemouth bass. Still to this day have not caught one that big. I know my grandfather was watching over me that day and every day since! Fishing is much more than hooking a fish and throwing it back. Life lessons can be learned each trip.
I was 16 and after the O-level exams one of the teachers took me and my mates fishing for a whole week (Sea, River, Canal and lake). On the last day we were fishing below a weir and a traveler family parked on the other side to wash some clothing. Their daughter was sublimely pretty and stripped off down to her undies and started sunbathing. I seriously considered risking life and limb and attempt to cross the raging water. I settled on waving to her and shouting over how lovely she looked. She blew me a kiss when she left.
God, that makes me sound a bit girly. Still, a great day out fishing. I caught a big pike but it broke the line in the Rocky and heavy current. Didn’t care ‘cos I was watching the young lady at the time 😬
The best and most memorable thing that happened to me was...hmmmmm...I actually caught a fish 🤷🏻♂️
My favorite part about fishing now is taking my younger brother fishing. The way he gets excited when he catches a fish brightens up the trip without fail. He recently caught a walleye all by himself off of the dock and thought it was the greatest thing ever. Reminds me of when I was a kid and my grandpa too me fishing 👍🏻
I caught the uk river perch record at 5.3/4 pounds!
Edward Frost I read about that, was it a couple years back? anyway nice catch, hope you get one close to it again soon.
Well it's not bad it's funny I was prefishing a tournament and fell in the lake
The best thing that has ever happened to me while fishing is remembering all the great times spent with my friends family. Just the memories and quality time is what makes me keep fishing. But its also an addiction that i love!
I lost 2 Crank baits I made and the next day I found them both
I caught a 5 pound bass on my lure
I believe one of the best things that ever happened to me on a fishing trip. Me and a couple friends were fishing for steelhead on a river in northern California, we got skunked and nobody caught anything. Towards the end of the day I was taking a break on the hike back to the truck and while sitting on a rock reflecting on the day I noticed something floating in the river. I went to fetch it and picked up an unopened and ice cold Coors light. It was the perfect way fishing off the day on the river.
Love your videos and keep up the good work.
catching a catfish when i was asleep
There's a reason muskie are called the fish of 10,000 casts
I caught one on 4 casts
@@lordshaggy5213 that makes you pretty lucky
It was pure not a tiger
And it was on a small spinnerbait
So a muskellunge
Best thing was this past week fishing with my grand daughters .my 3 yr old caught her first fish my 6 yr old did as well and my 8 yr old grand daughter was the one who had to pick each fish out of the net to put them back in the lake . They were all pike and they for some reason they were all as calm as can be when she picked em up and put em in the lake.She had a blast and made my day as well.
A fish snapped my line and and the next week I caught the fish w/ my lure
The best thing that happened while fishing is meting my girlfriend ❤️😍
And she is into fishing 😚💙

The best thing that’s ever happened to me while out fishing was watching my kids fall in love with fishing as I did. 😊
When I was 16 I was fishing at a park and this girl came up and talked me up for a while. As she was leaving she grabbed my butt!!!
Should had gone for it 👌
(Really shouldn't)
The best time I've had fishing was on a trip to our cabin in Wisconsin with my Granddad, Father, and my little brother about 15 years ago. Now that dad and grandad are both gone I look forward to taking my kids there reliving the memories with a new generation.
Taking my family to the Buffalo River in Arkansas and watching them have a blast catching fish. That’s definitely my best fishing memory so far.
Honestly there isn't a moment in my time fishing that would be the best thing that ever happened, because FISHING is the best thing that ever happened to me in my life in general. The 1000's of hours spent, the money i have invested, the fun i have had and will keep having, the joy its brought to all the people i have taken with me. Oh boy, fishing is the best time i've ever had living.
Best thing to ever happen is taking my kids fishing and watching them catch fish great videos keep them up
Best thing to happen while fishing is getting to spend time with my now deceased grandfather. And now taking my friends to the same lake and helping them create memories.
My favorite fishing moment was watching my mom catch her record fish. It was a 27", 7 pound Wiper (Hybrid between a white bass and a striper) after just beating thyroid cancer. My mom has always loved fishing and watching her catch her record fish (pretty sure its 2nd in the state!) was absolutely amazing!
The best thing that ever happened to me fishing was catching a 8 pounder the day before my daughter was born. I had been fishing really hard all summer to get a big one before she came because I knew I would not be able to fish for a while. Also me and my wife have been watching your videos every night you put one out. The only problem is you make it look easy and know I am starting to think I could this. Keep up the good work.
It’s so hard to choose a best thing that’s happened. Honestly. Just any time I get to spend with the squad trout fishing and having beers in our usual hole on the river while catching up every year is always special for me.
My 4 year old daughter and I love to watch your videos. We aren't much of fishermen. Her comment is: "my brother got a lot of fishes". That's her best fishing memory.
At 6 years old, my dad took my twin brother and I fishing and had a lifetime memory day catching hybrid bass in super light tackle. Or catching my lifetime snook down here in Corpus Christi. Always enjoy watching your videos.
Best thing that ever happened while fishing was catching a full limit of Walleye with my brother and grandpa at my grandpas cabin up north. It's only special because we were not trying to catch walleye and we just ended up finding a spot in the reeds that had a bunch of them holed up. Something about the full moon out and amazing conversation with the ones you love while catching fish, nothing felt more pure than that moment fishing. I hope to do this with my kids and grandkids someday :)
2 years ago I was jigging for walleye and hooked into a 50 inch musky after that I was hooked now after watching all your videos I’m making my own lures love the videos
Best thing that ever happened to me while fishing was with my dad last summer. He doesn't fish often and we hadn't fished since I was a kid. Skunked all morning and he was getting a bit upset. I said to him "remember, its always the next cast" and on that very next cast he caught a nice 2lb bass! We had an incredible laugh and embrace
Best fishing memory was going fishing with my grandpa. The week of we made a hardware cloth frame that we used to catch crawfish. Walking upstream kicking up rocks the crawfish just walked up the wire and we just grabbed them. Went to a lake to fish and nadda! Dumped the leftover crawfish in the lake and my little brother freeked out for a few years because he was afraid they would bite him when he went swimming. Love those memories.
Takin my son catching his first Ever pike 13lb. His face taking the fish in priceless. Keep the great work up love the show
