Nice video. I like how you time stamp with moon/sun info as well. One thing, when you estimate a fish is a 38", we believe you. No need to bump it and call it a 37.75." Maybe leave the bump board at home and save some room in the boat.
Thanks for the kind words Dan and for the feedback. I've certainly been trying to measure less fish as the extra handling isn't always necessary. I suppose I do it more out of curiosity and habit so it's a work in progress! Tight lines!
I live in Pittsburgh but just got back from Minnesota and you aren't kiddin. Some giants out there. We have some 50-52 here but in MN there are populations of fish that size with the opportunity of a 55+. We don't have that here.
Sometimes it needs a little tuning. That's the way a lot of crankbaits are. But I also very rarely straight retrieve it. In my opinion it works a lot better as a twitch bait.
I intentionally left the name of the state out because this body of water was revealed to me under one condition: that I wouldn't give away any info about it. 😎. Sorry!

Banger Sam! You guys were grinding ALL day! Mad props to your brother the net man having to watch you catch all day long! That smallie was a giant!! 👍
Thanks Kyle!!! 👍
This might be your best video to date. Big fish, great camera work and minimal filler content.
Thanks bro. It might be. Certainly the fastest video to 1k views.
Good video!
Thank you! 😎
Awesome job Sam!! That first fight was INTENSE. And that smallie has gotta be well over 4 lbs!
Thanks man. Bass like that are always a bonus.

Great video and amazing action here. Thanks for making these videos.
Thank you Brandon and thanks so much for watching!
Your editing skills turn a good video into an excellent visual experience. Congrats on the Smallie and a awesome two Musky day!
Thanks man! Appreciate your support. 👍 tight lines
Awesome job Sam. Man would love fish with you some day.
Thank you. Come visit some time.
Nice hat
R.I.P. to that hat. It has since been replaced. 😥 It was a lucky hat that brought a lot of fish in the boat.
OMG your net man!!!
Best net man in the business. I rushed him on both of those net jobs but there's no one I've rather have on the net than him. So quick and agile.
What crank was that
@@seandowning3757 7" shallow raider by joe bucher. Straight model, not jointed
Awesome
👍👍👍
I bet your brother really appreciates being your deckhand
Lol he's a guide so he doesn't mind. But I think by fish 4 he was hoping I would be netting his fish.
Nice bud where ya from in Minnesota that's a baby

Am I going to have to pay a subscription to watch all future videos??
No 😊. It will always be free.
I can't cast that shallow raider straight to save my life.

Hehe. You good! Shepard lakes got some big ones too. Up towards the old Talatche mine a few miles off highway 95.
Also I apologize and appreciate your integrity.
