@absoluteunitmedia typical ya. Supposedly you can catch a few bigger ones in the fall I was told, but a lot of the regulars said the pike keep getting smaller and the bass fewer
@@pittsburghanglerI’ve been fishing the French for my hole life and there is a lot more small pike but there definitely is a lot of big pike out there no matter the time of year
I was on the French River 2 weeks ago. Mostly caught the usual bass, pike and some walleye. We were also hunting muskie but no luck. I've never caught a gar aka garpike or longnose gar. That would be legendary to catch in the french river.
I was on the "FRENCH CREEK ",1992,Booked a trip out of Allegheny Sportsman show ,Pittsburgh, Pa, Merrill Hoge,Suzy Colbert were autographing, their families were fishing, camping next,too us,guess they got the endorsement discount. 4 guys, 5days ,$750 for us ,all inclusive
you stayed at Crane's I see that now. Right infront of the lodge there is great walleye but also that area has been hit very hard last few years. Was there last in sept 2023 and was tough. We cancelled our trip this year to french river and found quieter places an hour north is way more fish. Crazy to see less walleye in your video.
8’6” Heavy power. Yea I like it EXCEPT for the Fuji reel seat. It loosens up all the time which is very annoying (they may have fixed that with the latest versions). Other than that, great rod
I live on the french river absolute giant fish in this part of the lake its a dream musky spot and i get to fish everyday
Was up there all of last week. Stayed at bears den. No musky, a million hammer handle pikes (nothing over 25in) a few bass/walleye.
Is that your typical time of year? I ask because I’ve never seen so many sub 20” pike. We probably Caught 50 that size

@@pittsburghanglerpeople need to start keep their limits of small pike.

what areas of the french river are you fishing and what time of year?
Great video man, Such a great place to fish.
Thanks man!

We’ve been to Cranes’s three times over the years. We loved all our trips.

We mostly catch them in spring but I've only caught 2 in 50 years.
Awesome video man...looks like you guys had a blast!
Thanks Sam! Always do!
