Hi Tyler, My name is Don Burke. I'm a 70 year old disabled Vietnam veteran. I love to fish for bass. I truly enjoy your videos. I always learn something new from you. I feel blessed every time I watch your video. You're a very nice young man. Your parent should be very proud. God bless.
I would like to see a progressive video series "Purchasing Guide" on rod and reels wherein you start with the all around baitcaster/spinner reel and rod combo to begin the bass fishing journey (which you've already done) followed by what rod should come next and why (include budget options maybe to appeal to larger audience).
Just started back bass fishing at age 62 & bought 2 Lews combos, one spinning & one bait caster. They're great. Loved your college videos & your display of your faith before you started fishing. Love to see young people not ashamed of their faith. Blessings to you & your future wife.
Tyler, I watch three people every chance I get, you give the most insight to techniques and whys, being older and just getting back into bass fishing I had forgot so much and you continue to help remind me and teach me more.. and I’ve been replacing my old gear as money allows and have been buying Lew’s thanks to you. Oh and would love to replace another 30 yr old bait caster... keep up the great videos
I just got this Lew's classic reel the pole is nice is next week for me. Is my first one. But I'm a big ABU Garcia guy for 30 years now. Is this my first new reel in 15 years I'm happy with it so far. Can't wait to get it all together and use it. The best ball bearing is ceramic only for me I'll change out all the bearings out for ceramic bearing. Very easy to do it.
Hi Tyler! I started my own channel not to long ago and you were one of my biggest inspirations! I would love to see how to fish small ponds or overfished ponds as I haven’t been able to find a tutorial that works. You’ve helped me a lot and God bless you!
Tyler, you gotta be one of the most humble youtube anglers and only want the best for each of your viewers. I really appreciate your professionalism but also extreme genuine personality. Keep it up bro!
Before I found your channel my pb was 1.8 pounds and I had only caught 3 bass and now, 3 months later my pb is 4.3 pounds and I have caught 14 bass. I have an old diawa and I have been wanting to try out a newer reel like an abu Garcia or a Lee’s but to own one would be so awesome! I am thankful to have what I do have if I don’t win but it would be so awesome to win a really nice one like the classic pro. I have learned a lot from you and I just wanted to say thank you!
Something which would be interesting to learn about is setting expectations for failure. How frequently do you get skunked out on the water? How long can it take you to actually find fish? Your channel is full of great information, and I can get some sense of this watching your tournament vlogs, but cool to see you talk directly to that point. (That being said... IDK if it would make a super popular video)
i just bought one of these lews reels last week and it works excellent for what i have it set up id love to see a video of you 6 rod sets up laying on the boat spec for when you tournment fish
I hope I win Tyler! I’ve never won anything but yeah good vid! I want a collection vid. Like a what tackle u have in ur boat. And then the tackle I would bring in a tackle backpack and your tackle you have In your house like a tackle wall or something
Hands down, you're my favorite fishing person to watch! Favorite for many reasons such as how informative you are, your professionalism and your enthusiasm! You always back that talk with a good walk! Love it!
I'm 51 and hated fishing my hole life, now that my dad is sick and can't fish no more I bought his boat and started fishing . I'm HOOKED ON IT, I'm out 2 /3 times a week. I liked to see an episode of a day your struggling and how you turned it around. Being new to game I have a lot of struggling time but it's just so damn fun.
I’d like to see more bank fishing videos, as of right now I’m a 14 year old living on Long Island with out any access to any kayaks or big bass boats, on Long Island there is a lot of pressured lakes and ponds and I’d like to know a little more about how I should fish a pressured pond with only one rod and a reel, hope you read this, love the content god bless❤️
Love your channel and faith! I owe the discovery of your channel to my son who showed me a few of your videos. Thank you son! I would like to know what you think the best spinner/buzz baits would be for fishing slight timber on Lake Somerville? My family owns a family farm 20 minutes away from Lake Somerville so we fish it a lot. Thank you for the time and effort you put in your videos to help teach people that don't fish for bass that often, become better. Have a blessed day!!
Just bought a Lews Laser RZ....haven't even got it wet yet. Would love a another to have a different line, lure and rod set up like you have on the boat. Thanks for teaching us all!
Haven't used any of the Lew's items yet but I'm interested in trying it out. Would love to see some videos on smaller ponds and various ways of punching heavy cover with tons of Lilly pads
I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer Three years ago. At the same time I really got into bass fishing. Your videos made many of my treatments move a little quicker. I’ve enjoyed your videos and have learned so much. Thank You
🔥👊👍, just bought the 99.00 lews, used it today, i caught a 38" redfish and 15 trout, 10" to 17", it is a Awesome reel, ALL your Videos are spot on. God Bless
You’re tips have helped me a lot and been able to fish with more confidence. Thanks to you I haven’t got skunked anymore. More pond fishing videos would be nice. Thank you!
Grant Kelley try a ned rig set up that can catch anything. Maybe a plastic swim bait. Try to fish slow as well. Or a weightless fluke can help as well.
I’ve used Shimano reels for years. I hear nothing but good things about Lew’s reels, this would be a go gateway to try one. Enjoy your tips and tricks videos.
Dude watched this a couple weeks ago, grabbed one and matched it with the abu Garcia vendetta 7’ medium heavy, I’ve been catching fish way way more since I’ve been watching you and learning from you. Please come to New Hampshire for a 100 ponds episode
Loved the video. Went with a cheaper bait caster because It was on sale then bought a cheaper combo that was a more reputable brand and realized the 1st was better. Now we just need a crash course of the most common techniques and rigs to learn to catch those first bass. Thanks for the content.
Just in the last 24 hours, I found you music channel (great music), got my 9 year old son watching your videos (and subscribed) and now my wife is watching your videos. One more kid and the whole family will be hooked....it was a good day :)
Can’t think of anything in particular, but I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. You’re the most regionally accurate RUclips angler I’ve found. Thank you.
Love the channel I quit fishing for a couple years when I got too catch up with life. Then one night I went down a rabbit hole of your videos for like 4 hours and now I just bought a small Jon boat and I’m getting back into it
I’ve been considering getting one of this Lew’s model, even with owning some of Lew’s more expensive reels (one Pro-TI and two Tournament MP Speed Spools). It’d be interesting to see you compare some different Lew’s models side by side, and show how adjusting mag and centrifugal controls impacts casting. It might help folks debating between reels decide on a model. A video explaining how and when each controls spool speed might help newer anglers also. Recommendations about sponsor products don’t really bother me in most instances. In a case like your channel, Lew’s and Strike King have supported you for a good amount of time, plus you clearly use the products. Your genuine enthusiasm for their products shows. One interesting thing about Lew’s reels I learned at a fishing expo was that all the reels in the SLP line handle the same range of lure weights: it isn’t necessary to get a super expensive reel in order to toss a small crankbait or jerkbait. The differences are in reel materials, bearing quantity, and braking systems. In other words, the Classic Pro should theoretically cast the same lures as a ProTI, assuming that the caster has their braking and spool tension set right. It’s nice that they deliver that sort of performance across all their price points. I think where people get upset is when content creators clearly do NOT use a product or constantly switch what they call “the best” due to changing sponsorships, especially when these deals aren’t mentioned. These sales pitches just ring hollow, particularly when those items never appear in any other videos.
Looking for a basic cranking reel and this maybe what I am looking for. Vid Topic: Love to understand your decision making on when to change lures types to make a pattern. How do you dial in the bite? A fall midwest bass bite is tough and find trouble developing a pattern.
Thank you Tyler! This is very helpful... just starting to learn to use a bait caster so not looking to put a fortune into my first one. This may sound crazy but I would love a video on what will not get bites! I’ve heard things like sunscreen and bananas are sure to keep fish away, but is that true??
Been wanting a new baitcasting reel since I just have a cheap Shakespeare that's just meh... going to have to definitely check this one out... maybe for a Christmas gift this year.
I noticed that your lews sticker came off of your reel. I have had the same issue with my Lews reels. Wish Lews would use a stickier compound for it to stay on there. Even though I did contact Lews and they sent me some replacements. Which was awesome!
Just came across the channel yesterday. When I searched how to rig soft plastics, your video came up! Great content! Can you do a video on rod weights and what differs between light, medium, and heavy, and which you prefer?
Hey Tyler. Good video. I just got my first lews product, the american hero combo. So far I really like it. I do alot of pond bank fishing so would always love to see more of that. Thanks.
I just bought this reel and put it on a 6’6 Berkeley lighting rod. Is that a decent setup to learn on? My goal is to have a setup that’s pretty universal as far as different lures I can use
Great videos! Just getting into bass kayak fishing and I have learned a lot from your channel. Would like to see a video explaining line differences and if one is better for all purpose fishing.
Thank you for this video. I’m just getting serious about bass fishing and looking for some quality products that are affordable on a tight budget that will help me be more effective.
do you think graphite frames are good is there any difference in the grahpite frames as the price increases such as this reels frame vs the crush which both have the same frame materials
I'd be interested to see what baits are best for the fall transition as water gets cooler. Here in the Midwest the weather has become much colder and my go to Texas rig hasn't been producing much lately.
I got that same reel 1 week ago and fished with it 4 times and so far I love it. I'm not familiar with bait casters bc it was me first one but for the price it is smooth and comfortable to hold. If ur just starting out or even been fishing for a long time I would definitely recomend this reel
The Lews looks like a great bait casting reel. Sometime would you do a video on Form? Body form, Holding the rood and reel form, Setting the hook form. Is there any importance or advantage to form in how the rod/reel is held? What is the best form for position for the best hook set? Typically you step back with you right foot and swing with you hip. Is there any tips to maximize hook sets and not feel like your arm is needing carpel surgery at the end of the day? Thanks for your very informative videos!
Would you be able to a video on how to adjust the brakes and tension for different types of jigs? I bought my first bait caster a couple weeks ago, it’s a shimano caius 6’6 combo, I’ve been having some problems with backlash, every few casts. Thank you for supporting the bass fishing community, with your helpful knowledge and attitude.
It’s also a great reel to have on a rod that’s more of a seasonal technique. Instead of having a 150 - 200 sitting around that gets less usage. Grab a few of these instead. What’s your opinion on slack line hook set vs tight line hook set. Maybe do an underspin video
Got a deal on a 7:5:1 reel at Academy. It's a world of difference using that compared to a 6:5 reel. Topic around how you approach fishing new waters. I'm sure it varies a little whether it's tourney related or not.
Great Info Tyler. Love your channel. I would like to see a video on reel care and maintenance. As a newbie, I have a few rods and reels and would like to make them last!!
Hi from Canada Tyler. I’m new to your channel and quite new to fishing. Never used a bait casting reel before but hoping to get one to try. Would love to see a video helping new anglers understand difference between types of line, or the difference between rod lengths and actions and when/why to use, etc. Finding the options for fishing a bit overwhelming so anything to simplify would be great. Thanks!
Recently found this channel and have probably watched at least 10 videos over the last week. I really enjoy the content. I am relatively new to bass fishing and I find your videos very informative. You really break down every step and I find that very helpful. I live in the west Texas area the places we have to fish are impounded reservoirs. There isn't very much grass but there are a lot of cattails. The shore line mostly consists of cattails up close then a shallow rocky area that drops off fast. Also we have a spill way with a rocky shoreline that drops off to 19ft as soon as 10ft from the shore. We have some stripers in there too. I would like to here you opinions on these topics. Other than that thanks for the content and keep up the great work!
Hey Tyler, What about trouble breaking off while using a leader. Is a leader always good, and if so, what is a way to reduce having the line break during hookset? I have used leaders almost exclusively during the past year, and always tie it on with the Uniknot. What are your thoughts?
I hadn't thought about Lews reel cause of the costs. Didn't realize they made a budget reel, not only under $100, but $60 is prime for me. Thanks for the review!
Difference of different lines to use, mono va fluoro, vs braided when to use them, and which rod pairs with the line, MH vs Heavy for different styles of fishing
I subscribed to your channel earlier this summer after your "how to rig" and "how to fish" every soft plastic lure videos showed up in my recommended feed. I took what I learned and have been catching way more fish (even if it's on my lone/old spinning reel). Win or lose, a big thanks to you for creating informative videos that can translate for new anglers looking to get more serious about the sport.
Love the lews reels, started off with a kast king and a picsun reel and have to say those reels cannot compare to the quality and performance you get from a $60 Lews reel. I currently have 4 of the lews American Hero reels and love them and another lews reel not sure the model but they all cast amazing and almost never backlash. Lews has a customer for life, in my opinion can’t beat what they give you for the money.
Bass fishing tip. When your useing a top water weed less frog and you get smoked dont freak out let the fish take it or wait about 1 to 2 seconds. Because the fish will be swimming down so you will not miss as much fish because of the angel of your line
Great video, also love the level of detail you give in all your video. You do a really good job at relating to the beginners and more seasoned anglers! If i have missed this, sorry, but i’d love to see a video on you favorite top water lures, walkers and poppers, colors, when to use them/when to hang the topwater up. Thanks man, keep up the great instructional videos! You by far my favorite to watch along side the tactical bassin crew!
Starting to be a believer in LEWS products and learning how to transition from spinning to baitcasting so that I can benefit from using a baitcaster. One question as a new angler to bass fishing and it may be kind of a stupid question but what is the proper way to match hooks and hook types/sizes with your baits or is it all preferences and do you also consider the species that you're after? I am definitely a budget angler at the moment.
Love the channel Tyler! I was looking to get my first baitcaster and this one has been on my list for sure! Also can you make a vid on how to skip cast
I really enjoy the videos. I was looking to get that same reel for that exact rod. You should do a video on the technique of skipping baits. Keep doing what your doing.
Great channel for those who are new into fishing like myself and dont really have anyone in their life to teach them about fishing. Would love to see more crankbait videos especially looking at differences between and when to use each!
I’d definitely love to see a video on the Anglr app, and the device that connects to it. I personally have messed around with it some, but would love to see a video specific for that app and device. You do great videos though, and Lews makes amazing poles and reels. Keep up the great work on your videos, and I love seeing each one you put out. They have helped me out greatly with getting better with my fishing.
That reel looks amazing!! My teacher is your friends wife and that’s how I found out about you! I’ve already learned so much from your videos! Could you do a vid on tips and tricks for North Texas Fall fishing.
Lovin’ your videos. Could you cover color choices? Lots of people say something is blue Gil color but I don’t see it. Would love to try a new reel. Keep up the great videos!
Great video! You may have already done a video like this and I just have not seen it yet, but I would like to see a video on rod selection vs the type of bait you are wanting to use.
fishing litterly saved my life. thank you for all the tips and trick videos you create for us! I litterly use them on the fly, out on the lake at Fort Campbell, maybe a video on spinner baits, how to use them and what colors are best for the different seasons.
I love this reel and I have a shamano slx DC and still see myself grabbing this as one of my favorites and the price is great! My only complaint is how it flexes, but no complaints have even pulled 4 ponders on a frog out of some nasty slop
keep up they great work Tyler. Would like to see a video on something about tackle organization and why its important as well as what system works for you.
Never used a bait caster but I've been thinking of getting one. Prolly get the Lews Custom Pro after seeing this vid. I find your videos very informative. I live in PA but taking a trip to the St. Lawrence later this month. An October ST. Lawrence vid would be great before the trip but this doesnt give you much time.LOL. Thx for you videos and God bless
I've got a few Lew's graphite frame reels and they're great, but after frog fishing for a season sometimes things in the reel can get out of place because graphite isn't quite as strong as aluminum on those hooksets, so it'll get less smooth and feel/sound slightly grindy. But that was just one reel 🤷🏼♂️
Tyler, can you do an in-depth video on fishing the chatterbait: when to use white over GP, chatterbait weights, trailers, rod/reel/line set up etc. Keep up the good work and great content!
Another great video Tyler👍 I do shop for budget reels and it’s a hit and miss for me. Thanks for the input. I will definitely look in to Lew’s reels!! How about a video on budget rods, thanks🤙

He has done many videos in jigs. Just work them slower in the fall. Nothing different.
Natural color jigs and black and blue the only two you need to work anywhere.
@@84FrankDaTank Thanks for the tip
@@AlexKing-we9oq Definitely make sure you're at least fishing that jig on a medium heavy to heavy action rod.
Just started back bass fishing at age 62 & bought 2 Lews combos, one spinning & one bait caster. They're great. Loved your college videos & your display of your faith before you started fishing. Love to see young people not ashamed of their faith. Blessings to you & your future wife.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been wanting to try a baitcast reel but wasn't sure of a good budget one to start with.
I want to see mono vs braid vs fluorocarbon and i would like the reel really
I just got this Lew's classic reel the pole is nice is next week for me. Is my first one. But I'm a big ABU Garcia guy for 30 years now. Is this my first new reel in 15 years I'm happy with it so far. Can't wait to get it all together and use it.

I bought my first bait caster a couple weeks ago, it’s a shimano caius 6’6 combo, I’ve been having some problems with backlash, every few casts. Thank you for supporting the bass fishing community, with your helpful knowledge and attitude.
It’s also a great reel to have on a rod that’s more of a seasonal technique. Instead of having a 150 - 200 sitting around that gets less usage. Grab a few of these instead. What’s your opinion on slack line hook set vs tight line hook set. Maybe do an underspin video
I would love to see a chatterbait tip video. Thanks for all the helpful tips buddy
Got a deal on a 7:5:1 reel at Academy. It's a world of difference using that compared to a 6:5 reel.
Topic around how you approach fishing new waters. I'm sure it varies a little whether it's tourney related or not.
Love to see a video of your entire gear collection not just wat u use but if ur like me u have “retired” equipment that you just can’t get rid of
Appreciate the vast amount of shared knowledge.It helps a beginner fisher watching a channel like this.
Great Info Tyler. Love your channel. I would like to see a video on reel care and maintenance. As a newbie, I have a few rods and reels and would like to make them last!!
I caught my first bigger bass this month. I have just gotten back into fishing. I love it.
Hi from Canada Tyler. I’m new to your channel and quite new to fishing. Never used a bait casting reel before but hoping to get one to try. Would love to see a video helping new anglers understand difference between types of line, or the difference between rod lengths and actions and when/why to use, etc. Finding the options for fishing a bit overwhelming so anything to simplify would be great. Thanks!
I literally just bought 5 of these the other day and so far they have been great reels for the money
Recently found this channel and have probably watched at least 10 videos over the last week. I really enjoy the content. I am relatively new to bass fishing and I find your videos very informative. You really break down every step and I find that very helpful. I live in the west Texas area the places we have to fish are impounded reservoirs. There isn't very much grass but there are a lot of cattails. The shore line mostly consists of cattails up close then a shallow rocky area that drops off fast. Also we have a spill way with a rocky shoreline that drops off to 19ft as soon as 10ft from the shore. We have some stripers in there too. I would like to here you opinions on these topics. Other than that thanks for the content and keep up the great work!
Hey Tyler, What about trouble breaking off while using a leader. Is a leader always good, and if so, what is a way to reduce having the line break during hookset? I have used leaders almost exclusively during the past year, and always tie it on with the Uniknot.
What are your thoughts?
I hadn't thought about Lews reel cause of the costs. Didn't realize they made a budget reel, not only under $100, but $60 is prime for me. Thanks for the review!
Difference of different lines to use, mono va fluoro, vs braided when to use them, and which rod pairs with the line, MH vs Heavy for different styles of fishing
I’m just getting started learning about Lew’s reels. I could use it now! Fall fishing tips, baits, and colors would be my topic choices.
Two videos I'm interested in.
One is how to fish bass when the weather is colder (from shore line)
And which is more versatile live, or artificial
I subscribed to your channel earlier this summer after your "how to rig" and "how to fish" every soft plastic lure videos showed up in my recommended feed. I took what I learned and have been catching way more fish (even if it's on my lone/old spinning reel). Win or lose, a big thanks to you for creating informative videos that can translate for new anglers looking to get more serious about the sport.
Love the lews reels, started off with a kast king and a picsun reel and have to say those reels cannot compare to the quality and performance you get from a $60 Lews reel. I currently have 4 of the lews American Hero reels and love them and another lews reel not sure the model but they all cast amazing and almost never backlash. Lews has a customer for life, in my opinion can’t beat what they give you for the money.
Thanks for the info on that bait-caster. How about some tips on colors for fall fishing
Bass fishing tip. When your useing a top water weed less frog and you get smoked dont freak out let the fish take it or wait about 1 to 2 seconds. Because the fish will be swimming down so you will not miss as much fish because of the angel of your line
Great video, also love the level of detail you give in all your video. You do a really good job at relating to the beginners and more seasoned anglers! If i have missed this, sorry, but i’d love to see a video on you favorite top water lures, walkers and poppers, colors, when to use them/when to hang the topwater up. Thanks man, keep up the great instructional videos! You by far my favorite to watch along side the tactical bassin crew!
Love Lew’s reels. Can you do best Fall/Winter setups for lakes, morning, afternoon, and late afternoons.
Been fishing solely Lew’s reels for for years now. Love them.
Will admit, never heard of the Classic Pro.
I’ll put it on the shopping list!
Starting to be a believer in LEWS products and learning how to transition from spinning to baitcasting so that I can benefit from using a baitcaster. One question as a new angler to bass fishing and it may be kind of a stupid question but what is the proper way to match hooks and hook types/sizes with your baits or is it all preferences and do you also consider the species that you're after? I am definitely a budget angler at the moment.
Love the channel Tyler! I was looking to get my first baitcaster and this one has been on my list for sure! Also can you make a vid on how to skip cast
Thanks for this I have been trying to find a good budget baitcaster reel. maybe this is the one.
I really enjoy the videos. I was looking to get that same reel for that exact rod. You should do a video on the technique of skipping baits. Keep doing what your doing.
Great channel for those who are new into fishing like myself and dont really have anyone in their life to teach them about fishing. Would love to see more crankbait videos especially looking at differences between and when to use each!
I’d definitely love to see a video on the Anglr app, and the device that connects to it. I personally have messed around with it some, but would love to see a video specific for that app and device. You do great videos though, and Lews makes amazing poles and reels. Keep up the great work on your videos, and I love seeing each one you put out. They have helped me out greatly with getting better with my fishing.
That reel looks amazing!! My teacher is your friends wife and that’s how I found out about you! I’ve already learned so much from your videos! Could you do a vid on tips and tricks for North Texas Fall fishing.
Lovin’ your videos. Could you cover color choices? Lots of people say something is blue Gil color but I don’t see it. Would love to try a new reel. Keep up the great videos!
Great video! You may have already done a video like this and I just have not seen it yet, but I would like to see a video on rod selection vs the type of bait you are wanting to use.
fishing litterly saved my life. thank you for all the tips and trick videos you create for us! I litterly use them on the fly, out on the lake at Fort Campbell, maybe a video on spinner baits, how to use them and what colors are best for the different seasons.
I love this reel and I have a shamano slx DC and still see myself grabbing this as one of my favorites and the price is great! My only complaint is how it flexes, but no complaints have even pulled 4 ponders on a frog out of some nasty slop
Video idea of launching your boat/ boat care. Love you vids🙌🏻👍🏼
keep up they great work Tyler. Would like to see a video on something about tackle organization and why its important as well as what system works for you.
Never used a bait caster but I've been thinking of getting one. Prolly get the Lews Custom Pro after seeing this vid. I find your videos very informative. I live in PA but taking a trip to the St. Lawrence later this month. An October ST. Lawrence vid would be great before the trip but this doesnt give you much time.LOL. Thx for you videos and God bless
Love to hear it! Make sure you order your reels in the links in my video descriptions!
I've got a few Lew's graphite frame reels and they're great, but after frog fishing for a season sometimes things in the reel can get out of place because graphite isn't quite as strong as aluminum on those hooksets, so it'll get less smooth and feel/sound slightly grindy. But that was just one reel 🤷🏼♂️
I totally agree, I have some that are allot expensive and I enjoy throwing this reel just as much.
Tyler, can you do an in-depth video on fishing the chatterbait: when to use white over GP, chatterbait weights, trailers, rod/reel/line set up etc. Keep up the good work and great content!
Love your channel! Definitely getting me ready for bass fishing when I get stationed stateside again!
Glad to have ya back!
I love your videos and do you know when it’s cold outside to the fish go to the bottom of the water or to the top
Bottom
Another great video Tyler👍 I do shop for budget reels and it’s a hit and miss for me. Thanks for the input. I will definitely look in to Lew’s reels!! How about a video on budget rods, thanks🤙
Any tips on shore fishing? What sorts of line are best for bait casters?
Are there particular color jugs that you should use for autumn fishing? Or do you use live bait?
What are your top knot choices and why?? Sic 'em Bears - watched your proposal video too - congratulations
Love Lew's rods. Haven't used their reels, but I've only been fishing for bass for about a year.
I would love to finally try using a baitcaster reel! Started fishing this year and need to learn what baits to use on a spinning vs baitcaster reel
Tyler, excellent video. When are you coming to New Jersey to do some fishing.
