Exactly my thoughts, too. It would even work to connect it to your trailer at places that don’t have docks or up to trees or fence posts. I’m loving it so far.

Not so much in flat-earth territory. But I tried for a few years at local thrift stores and pawn shops, too. So I went the route of being able to use my skis for all kinds of fun. Ha, ha. Thanks for swinging into the comment section. I agree, with you. It normally should be a thing.

I have seen you see them. :)

Also do you want open end or closed end rivet?

I would guess if you have a closed end it would be better. I just used sealant/marine grade glue in each hole, also. Got my rivets at Menards. Aluminum rivets were all I used. The ones at Traxtech looked the same from what I could tell online. No regrets yet.

We've been finding the sauger a little more frequently the last few years here. They normally are a deep fish. Fun to see.

Surprise fish fo sure. It sure didn’t put up the same fight an 18 inch walleye does, though. Maybe having a bigger fish clamp down around its midsection took away some of its drive.

I ended up not making it in the tournament. Ha! My partner said he got the nod from the postmaster that we’d have the official date stamp on the entrance application on the necessary day, but it wasn’t. So we go put on the waiting list. I’m pre fishing for next year! Ha, ha. How was SD for you?

@rippinglipsadventures oh ya I actually decided not to fish gov cup this year and focused on DWC. Well I was at the state line still on ND side but it was decent. Didn't have a ton of time to fish but used drop shot and slip bobbers and got into 5 or 6 walleyes and a pile of cats and some drum

Yeah. “It’s going to be a great cat-fishery,” as my buddy once said a year or two ago. He wasn’t wrong. Ha, ha. They’re almost too easy to catch when I’m targeting walleye shallow. Sometimes, they fool me deep. They feel so much like a nice walleye, too. It’s such a subtle difference in head shakes.

@rippinglipsadventures lol we were prefishing the DWC and had a hot calm day or we pitched slip bobbers over a rock pile and my wife got like 4 or 5 within 20 minutes

She was thick. Sure was fun to hook up on that.

Hopefully you won’t be on some MTV show if you’re the catfish guy. ;) Yep. Beat my previous record by a huge 1/4 of an inch! Onto breaking it again 1/4 inch at a time. Ha, ha!

Thanks! Yeah. It was pretty cool. I was happy to get it on video after all the battery changes I had to do all day long. Ha!

@rippinglipsadventures We will be out pleasure boating on Saturday, but giving plenty of space to the fisherman as we always do. Good luck!

I’d probably be out there myself, but we didn’t make the cut this year. A friend of mine who’s been in the Cup for a dozen or more years in a row, didn’t get the official postmark on the response from the post office the day he dropped it off. We got put on the waiting list, which means no go for us. If I do fish, I wouldn’t worry about space considering the fish are more scattered this year than I’ve ever seen in seven years. I’ve also heard that pre fishing a tournament there is never the same as the day of. It’s going to be a hot one out there. You might have to jump in for relief.

Thanks, Dan! Definitely a fun one to actually latch onto.

Thanks! It was a fun surprise after a long, long day on one of the funnest ways to catch them. Had I been in the Cup, it would have been past time to report back. Ha, ha! Thanks for checking it out and swinging into the comment section.

Thank you so much! I try to make it above par. I was in Hollyweird for a few years of my life and it may have rubbed off a little in my creative juices. I'm really glad to hear you enjoyed watching.

It always is when I'm on Brett's boat. Especially when his family is there, too. They're a hoot.

Absolutely. Thanks for letting me tag along. My final thought are that I was preoccupied with 5 camera angles and working them all to be able to focus on catching my own fish that day. Ha, ha. I’m glad I caught your attention at least with the edit.

@@rippinglipsadventures that excuse flies with me :)

I'm glad you found it interesting enough to watch all the way through, too. Thanks for letting me know! Have a great day!

My pleasure. It’s a lot easier when I’m not the guy releasing the fish. Ha, ha! Thanks for watching and swinging by in the comment section again. Enjoy your time on Brett’s boat. You’re going to love it.

Thanks for letting me tag along on your family fishing trips. I’ve always enjoyed them. One day I hope to be half the fisher person you and your boys are. In the meantime, thanks for allowing us to test our steak grilling skills. It projected us down a path of making meat taste amazing for everyone and am happy to make that a frequent tradition.

@@rippinglipsadventures best food ever hands down!!!!!!

The only thing that I’d be able to get in there would be a top water bait. It was a solid growth of 5 foot weeds with giant leaves up to 6 inches below the surface. It was pretty gnarly. If you have a different bait that works for walleye in junk like that, I’m game. Outside the weeds, it was ok, but there wasn’t much area without them. The entire lake is less than 17 fow from what I found, also.

@rippinglipsadventures casting crank baits, slip bobbers. Those fish sit in the weeds sometimes on the inside edge sometimes on the outside edge. Thats how I catch most of my fish in the pot hole lakes

@chrisleier2936 thanks for the tips. I’ll definitely try it next time.

Definitely. That thing isn't going anywhere with all those rivets. But I haven't tried it yet. Because of your comment, I am going to tie on a safety chain if I ever do it, though. Ha, ha!

Yeah. We actually did this lake before you and I went to Spiritwood. It was pretty cool. I have only been to a handful of different lakes in my life, though. No where near as many as you have in a month.

Ha, ha! Yeah. I figured we had two cue balls in the boat at the same time, so it was only fitting. I was happy to get a small meal out of the day at least. And better than smallies by far. Just not for the fight. Thanks for swinging by in the comment section. It’s good to see you again.

Thanks for watching! My great uncle Gene and second cousins were all at Riverdale and graduated from high school there. I love that town. It’s such an amazing place. If you’re ever wanting to get on lake, I’d be happy to try to make it happen in my boat. You just might have to endure the setup of camera and sound gear, which for some is not fun at all. Videography is the other hobby I have that is married to my fishing trips. This season, catching fish is not a guarantee either. It’s been tough finding them with the wind and weather shifts every other day. Many days I’ve really gotten into them it took me at least 4-6 hours to locate a few.

Yeah. We’ve had little use for the house AC this year. It’s been raining every other day and the temps have stayed unusually colder. Any warm days were offset by high winds. It has really thrown off the fish, too. The next video I’m working on, I called him a Sherpa and a grandma for all his layers. But he is from Florida now, so that makes the guy softer than he was as a kid growing up in ND. Ha, ha.

Well, to be completely honest, it can. And I will be making a video on launching my boat for people who don’t like remotes and/or technology, but still want to do a worry-free launch and park the pickup and come back to your boat at the dock without really doing a lot.

Thanks for swinging into the comment section and watching my content, btw. I appreciate it! Happy 4th!

It was a blast. Thanks for your enthusiasm and humor and flying out. Good to see you!

Must have been an accident on what was a two-day quick edit.. I love to make everyone in the UK happy to watch fishing in America. Seriously. Had it and even had the release shot. Ha, ha.

@@rippinglipsadventures hm...sounds fishy.

Maybe I’ll make a carp catch and release short on TikTok. Ha, ha.

Little does Bloemendaal know, I've been editing out hundreds, if not thousands, of snot sniffs and coughing over the years. There could be more if he wants to make it a game, but we all know who'd win. Ha, ha, ha!

It never phased me until the day ended. If we were fishing in my boat, we'd have been out there until the lip-ripping moments balanced out a little more...which could have been a 15-hour day. Ha! It was still a blast for sure.

It was how it usually is for me when I'm with the pro-stick, Brett. He just has the touch. I have the cheese-touch for walleye this season, too. Ha, ha. There have only been a few days were I bested the captain and those days were shorter than average for some reason. ;)

Yeah. He got me on his edit. I couldn’t let it slide on mine.

He's got the touch, that's for sure. Ha, ha!

Thanks! Sometimes they turn out, and sometimes they don't.

I may have one posted next Wednesday. I haven’t gotten a regular schedule at this point. Working on catching zander the moment. But it’s not going so well for zander and everything else has come in the boat instead. Ha!

Had to make that point for people who are rookies. Ha, ha! You know, horror stories abound.

How’d your day go yesterday? Did you get into them?

@rippinglipsadventures yes I did I got 10 in just over 2 hours

It’s ok. I have had hooks caught on it or even random objects in the boat snag it very easily. The biggest draw for me has been how light it is and that it can be set to any length and jammed in between the side walls of my boat on the back deck for worry-free transport and storage. If you go to Brett Bloemendaal’s video ruclips.net/video/Y-DIw0sm3i0/видео.htmlsi=GmubYGyVnZ9ZKxWP and see at the 15:00 mark his got snagged hard on the windshield. That sort of thing happens a lot. I’ve never had that happen before in my lifetime with my other nets. There have been times on my boat I had to really work to get it untangled from my live pole or some random object like a rod holder. Again, that never happened to me in the past. Hooks aren’t a big deal, but they have definitely gotten stuck. I’m also on my second net already and have seen both Brett’s and my own handles break. Kalin’s did send me another net without question other than showing them pictures of the foam crack. The other thing I don’t really like is that twine loop at the handle as it will get stuck on things, too. All that said, it works if you can avoid those snags in the boat. It’s light. Adjustability is infinite, which is what I wanted for storage.

Wow! Thank you for the great feedback! I love watching your videos with Brett. Thanks for taking your time to post videos and share your fishing knowledge!

@@69RT3X9 My pleasure. Really. It's a blast to have videography and fishing combined as my two passion hobbies. Anytime you feel like something is burning a hole in your question pocket, shoot it my way and I'll give you the lowdown from my perspective. Thanks for watching!

Yep. When life gives you smallies, you make smallie tacos. Ha, ha!

You are exactly right. I’ve been meaning to find a file, but then I typically lose my jigs too soon to need to worry about sharpening hooks. Ha, ha!

They always seem like the ticket to me. But I don’t get much different than white often. They last days, though.

Mega Live transducers work on Helix 9 side imaging units. I bought the Ice Shuttle kit by Humminbird and just leave it in the shuttle all year long. It does work on G3N and G4N units I am pretty sure. Again, as long as they have side imaging capabilities. It might even be possible to use units smaller than the Helix 9, too. I’m not entirely sure about that, though.

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Video is my main hobby, fishing is actually taking more priority these days, but I tend to feel the need to make a video no matter what sort of fishing I’m doing.

Normally, work shallow, rocky points and humps and warmer water temps compared to other spots. This year has been anything except normal, however. I feel like I’m relearning finding walleye at all anymore. The usually cold spring has sent the fish scattered all over from 2 feet to 40 feet. I’ve found nice walleye in 2 feet with cranks and 40 feet with jigs. It’s a little odd this year.

Endangered species I guess. Shasta crayfish numbers went down to around 500 for a while and they are trying to revive the population I think. You cannot take and eat or do anything with them there. It's a really beautiful area. Good luck if you go fishing.

Thanks!

Thanks for swinging in and saying so. How’s fishing been for you lately?

@@rippinglipsadventures Fishing this year has been great.

I see they might be good. So far, I’ve only caught one smallie on the stuff. Brett swears by it now, though.

Thank you for coming by again. Good to see you!
