Hahaha thankfully he’s good at catching them too

Yes it does! If we get some good ice this year, perch fishing is going to be crazy this winter.

@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors yeah man. Good ice and stable weather instead of hot and cold cycles like last year.

Thanks! Ironically I wish we had the bass you have in Florida 😂

😂 I certainly won’t disagree with you but I didn’t like anything else I was finding either 🤷‍♂️

Yeah… I can kinda see where that comes from haha if it’s any consolation, Helena’s Dead Sea is Canyon Ferry. At least the fish in Tiber have some forage. More than just perch and each other at least.

Thank you!

Yeah that’s a tough one. Admittedly not as familiar but generally when I see uneven line it was from the initial spooling of the line. I haven’t seen or heard of a way specifically to tune a spool as you would on a spinning setup. About the only way to kinda do it is with your tuning knob but that’s more for your baits of course. I can tell you though, I see this a lot on trolling setups. Especially if you have a rod that is designated to a side. The line favors the side with more tension. So if you’re constantly reeling in baits-or hopefully fish-from the same side you’ll see it favor that side of the spool sooner or later. If it helps, when I fill a bait casting reel, I make sure the knot is in the middle initially, then as I fill, using the machine, my tension is from my hand holding the spool of line not right in front of the spool. While filling I make sure that the line is being feed straight towards the pawl/line guide. If the line favors one side for some reason as I fill then I push or pull to the opposite side to keep it level. Generally if it is favoring the one side it’s simple cause the hand I’m guiding the line with isn’t keeping the line center to the reel. Sorry if this wasn’t quite the help you were looking for but that’s all I got for ya. Maybe try a restring and these tips maybe and see if that helps at all.

You’re just jealous you weren’t in the boat haha

@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors yeah...🥺

Thank you!!

Thanks for the feedback! I’m glad this helped and I hope you catch the big ones you’re after! Seems like it’s been a great season this year.

Have you considered a pre-spawn, egg filled, female?

Nah pre-spawn. Full of eggs (and no not egg weights 😂)

We are on the upswing this year (23/24) season for the jumbos where I’m at. I think it’s on year 6/7 of the cycle. So just about to go dead again for a bit before the next cycle grows up

Clam tungsten caviar I think it was. And I size down a good bit to a 14 hook. They come bigger but that’s been my best size.

More like Berkley packaging 😛😂 but yeah… I try to not use them for this reason but it’s hard to deny when they work, they work well. So needless to say I keep a few on hand.

It was a really good year for sure! Of the 5 years I’ve done it now this has been the best year so far.

Honestly this is the first time to be with him fishing haha but you can tell he’s a master of his craft! Glad you liked the video!

@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors The guy barely skipped a beat when he would hook a fish during his explorations. Great to see

Thank you! It was a good time for sure! Was rained out Tuesday afternoon but gave me time to catch up on editing

What's wrong with it? 🤣🤣

Thank you for the support! I apologize for not responding to your previous comment. I’ve been looking into it and unfortunately I’m not sure why the walleye video wouldn’t download. Best I can tell I did have one copyright notification and maybe that affected things.

Yeah for sure, you’re right. When I fly fish and am not as serious about landing the fish I certainly do. Or when water is quite a bit warmer and it’s more critical to alleviate stress. But when I’m fishing an area with a variety of species and in cold water, I tend to leave them up. Starting about now the walleye start showing up and with the size potential that can be caught, I definitely want a barb for those. So unfortunately it kinda causes a catch 22 situation.

If you're fishing for sport (ego fun) and not for survival, just stay home and stop harassing the fish. You just haven't seen the light yet.@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors

If you are just fishing for sport (ego) then just stay home. You're harassing a living being for fun.@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors

⁠@@dan-h2gif you’re worried about harassing a “living being”, stay out of the woods and off the river and never touch a rod or set a hook period…. Obviously we have a difference of opinion and I can appreciate that. But I can tell you, anecdotally speaking, that I’ve foul hooked just as many fish with a barbless where they couldn’t be released. Sure I may have to generally handle them less with a barbless. Emphasis on generally. But as far as I’m concerned, with these conditions considered and the overall size of fish being caught, when I release those fish I can say with 99% certainty that they continue to live healthy lives. Thanks for the comment.

Take your own advice.@@RebelAgainsttheIndoors
