Your reaction to the lamprey? Priceless! I'd have done the same thing. Heck...I'm always tempted to just cut the line if I catch a freaking bullhead. Blech..... Lol
Glad you found my favorite lake when I don’t have a lot of time to fish only 5 minutes from my house. Was there Sunday and had a ball hope to see you there sometime
Chartreuse for life!!! Congrats on adding another species to the list. I have a couple places I fish that I frequently catch monster sized golden shiners especially wile ice fishing.
Thank you so much!!! I try to mention my gear choices in most videos but sometimes I forget. I’ll definitely remember next time. Thanks for the feedback 🤠👊🏽
There’s a pond near me that some “big” golden shiners come out of but I have yet to get one. I’ve always liked fishing for panfish and stocked rainbows on light tackle but your channel has inspired me to even smaller and lighter for more unique situations and fish
Its kinda funny that you said that about the way John ties his double jig rig. That's the way I started tying mine too. I like using that rig with 2 panfish magnets so I can get more distance with those 1/64 oz jigheads. 👊👍
These ultralight videos are so different from the norm, I like how you try out the different rods for us. Any thoughts on trying a Dobyns Colt panfish rod? Reeeeeeally curious how it fishes compared to some of the others you've tried.
Interesting! Never heard that but I guess it wouldn't surprise me. It is so hard to know exactly how fish see things. I have never had their eyes :D Maybe we should come up with some Fish Goggles?
I use the Lowrance Hook2 5x. It is solid for the price. Very simple little finder though - there are better models out there if you're willing to pay a bit more.
One of the reasons humans possess such great pattern recognition is because we are hunter/gatherers. You don't need to organize this knowledge because a spreadsheet would not capture all of the tiny nuances that contribute to success in a venture like this. It may help with product development but that's not our business ;)
I'm at 7:00 into the vid and have paused to make this comment, and am putting out an honest prediction. I don't think color matters here, it's going to be placement. I bet the bottom jig remains the winner after the color change.
Now at the end of the vid, you made the right call. This certainly displays a weakness to the knot, though. You broke off twice where otherwise you would have yak'd a decent fish. You might want to forget what you learned and stick to palomar, as if you were setting up a drop-shot. Just some advice from the pig hunter of Team Dink! Love ya, buddy!
Definitely agree I may need to explore another knot. The second one honestly wasn’t the knots fault as much as it was mine though. I held that fish up in a straight tension on 2lb test. Silly mistake!
I wasn't 100% sure if it was a Sea Lamprey at the time. There are technically native lamprey in our region too. I believe after looking online, I probably should have killed this critter
@@FishAnything I would at least report it. I think they use chemicals to manage them and keep them from spreading according to wiki. Also apparently they are a delicacy?

XD honestly that thing was terrifying. I don't mind catfish, but I agree they are always annoying to handle.
Oh man Ethan, you've found my [not-so] secret fishing hole. Almost no one drops a kayak in that lake. Good ice fishing too.
Definitely a cool little spot! We still need to fish buddy
Glad you found my favorite lake when I don’t have a lot of time to fish only 5 minutes from my house. Was there Sunday and had a ball hope to see you there sometime
We need to get out there together brotha!
I enjoy the videos and especially the slab stories. Thank you for the hard work.
Definitely will do another slab stories episode soon! Thanks Edward 🤠👊🏽
Attack of the killer lamprey! Funny as heck
That thing spooked me!

Thanks Micah! Definitely a neat little fish, glad I got a couple!!
Those lampreys have to be the scariest thing in fresh water
I agree. They are super spooky!
Terrifying creature. I do not want one to land on my seat ever again 😖
Glad I found your channel and products !!
Hopefully my purchases help grow the store for bigger and better things !! Keep up the great work !!
If you can mention the gear you use , would be great as well.
Thank you so much!!! I try to mention my gear choices in most videos but sometimes I forget. I’ll definitely remember next time. Thanks for the feedback 🤠👊🏽
I will definitely tie a Ned Rig as a dropper weight the next time I use the Drop Shot. Ethan, as always, you are an inspiration.🙌🏻😜👍🏻
🤠👊🏽 thanks Michael! Good luck :)
Thanks for the videoEthan. Always a good watch. 👍
Thanks Paul :)
Good morning, thanks for sharing. I love to fish. Beautiful view and amazing views. I wish you a lot of fishing
Thanks :)
There’s a pond near me that some “big” golden shiners come out of but I have yet to get one.

Thanks so much! Hope you can catch the big shiners this year - would be awesome

Right on! He’s a good dude and I always enjoy his videos. Just a good, down-to-earth guy 🤠
You're correct about there being some native species of lamprey. The sea lamprey is the invasive one!
Yeah, pretty sure this was a Sea Lamprey. Should have probably disposed of it. But I was terrified of that spooky critter lol
Very cool experiment!👍
Might do it again. Fun trip!!
Great video that’s a good way to cover more fish 🐠 I never remember yo try it 🤔
Honestly it is such a good little rig!
These ultralight videos are so different from the norm, I like how you try out the different rods for us. Any thoughts on trying a Dobyns Colt panfish rod? Reeeeeeally curious how it fishes compared to some of the others you've tried.
That would be a great rod to review!
I need to look into that one! I honestly didn’t even know it existed!!
Have u ever used fiberglass ultralights
I heard something saying fish can’t tell a difference between white and chartreuse 👀?
Interesting! Never heard that but I guess it wouldn't surprise me. It is so hard to know exactly how fish see things. I have never had their eyes :D Maybe we should come up with some Fish Goggles?
great fun thanks
Thank you Jack!!
Are you fishing that on a tighter line, like a drop shot, or letting them both sink to bottom?
Drifting and twitching them around weedbeds. Similar to how I fish a single jig!
what fish finder you currently using and would you recommend it?
I use the Lowrance Hook2 5x. It is solid for the price. Very simple little finder though - there are better models out there if you're willing to pay a bit more.
I need to toss the double jig rig more often. I'm just notorious for snagging off jigs. lol
We have more vegetation up here whereas you seem to have more brush. Probably less ideal in your waters.
3:22 🤣
Lamprey are spooooooky
You’re a better man than me, I would’ve taken a bic lighter to the lamprey and then used it as bait 😂
Which PFD Are you wearing?
I wear the Old Town PFD!
Hi I love your video’s
Hi there! Thank you so much!!
Double jig rigs are fun, twice the chance to snag!
Just me then? Hmm.
Haha they can definitely be snaggy around brush. But using the micro jigs helps because they sink so much slower!
You should try it again using a white/chartreuse jig vs red jig or something 👽
I think I might do a part two to this video and try it again!

@@FishAnything Why not 4lb?
👍🏻👍🏻😎
👊🏽🤠👊🏽
I always remove parasites from fish. It's the least I can do in exchange for hooking them.
I should have probably done away with that Lamprey but honestly I was spooked and just wanted it away from me haha
💯🔥💙👍
🤠👊🏽
I think the lateral line is a far better sense than eyesight for these fish
I agree for many species!
Why did I sense the Stranger Things reference coming? Excel is another thing.
Honestly that show is wonderful
You go into dink master guiding service
If people are willing to pay for my guide services, something terribly wrong has happened XD
You should’ve cut it in half
I was spoooooooked
You're supposed to kill the sea lamprays
I wasn't 100% sure if it was a Sea Lamprey at the time. There are technically native lamprey in our region too. I believe after looking online, I probably should have killed this critter
