  • Topwater explosions all day fishing the upper Tippecanoe river in north Indiana. I really wanted to catch my first ever northern pike and was able to get it done today. Most were on the berkley choppo 90 and whopper plopper.

    Awesome Brother! Where I grew up we called them 'slough sharks', & yes, we considered them a nuisance when fishing for Walleye. They're like the monster 'Bluegill' of Saskatchewan... everywhere! Now I miss those fish dearly. You had a great day on the water, thanks for taking us along! I'm gonna have to venture North to the Tippy now.

    Indiana has some spots that rival world class smallmouth and pike fisheries. I’ve seen some giants pulled out of Indiana in small spots like that. My PB smallie in Indiana was in a stream only 6 foot or so at the deepest and could flip and pitch all the way across it sideways.

  • @blueboyhotwheelsandmore869

    Aww man that's a killer spot, never would have imagined fish like that in a spot like that

  • @hadleyscott1160
    @hadleyscott1160 2 года назад

    Muskies, chain pickerel, pike around me is also smallmouth waters. Great episode. Must be pockets of cooler water for largemouth. Best time to fish around me is the moment it melts in early spring. Using live minnows it’s a killer just give them a chance to swallow it. Do this the moment the creek melts even along the shallow banks. I catch huge smallmouths that time of the year. 20/22 inches are commonplace. Again only that time of the year. After that the muskies and the rock bass take over.

    Another stream to look at for a trip would be the Kishwaukee River that flows through Northern IL. Top Smallmouth Bass stream, that also holds Northern Pike and Walleyes. Focus on Boone and Winnebago counties. Thanks for sharing, brings back lots of memories!

  • @leemowers9395
    @leemowers9395 2 года назад

    The Pike was fun, My wife has the largest one for the two of us, 30 inches. She has the biggest Largemouth as well at almost 7.4 lbs. She missed an opportunity to improve that catch Monday night in Louisiana, it tossed the hook, bummer. As usual, she managed to better my catches by a good pound. Thanks for sharing John.

  • @regunter6599
    @regunter6599 2 года назад

    My best fishing day ever was in 1987 in a small river in Missouri, right on the edge of a cold front. Every cast was a different species, I caught species that you would not beieve would eat earthworms. Me and two of my coworkers waded the stretch as far as we dared as the clouds rolled in, the entire time at least one of us had a fish on the hook. A fellow came down to see what we were doing as we got out, we told him and he said he was just checking because people were alway throwing out trash and never saw anyone fishing. We told him they were missing out.

    Man thats GREAT video. Never knew they had them fish in Indiana. I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. Going have to try get up there for some pike. I never caught one of them either. Be good find for my channel as well. I got a fish on my last week's video that I have never caught until then. It was a lot of fun getting that fish for myself. Always up for a new target species and the adventure it takes to get them. Thank you for bringing us along sir.

  • @DodoBird157
    @DodoBird157 7 месяцев назад

    Always make sure to use a leader no lighter than 40lb fluorocarbon and no shorter than 9” long. Preferably use a 9-12 inch steel leader or substitute for 80lb fluorocarbon. If you don’t do this, there’s a pretty high chance they’ll bite through your line. If you already are doing so, then I apologize. It’s just hard to tell over video. Also for lures other good choices are paddletails, lunker city slug-gos, spoons, inline spinners, chatterbaits, lipless and diving crankbaits, jerkbaits, walking baits, poppers, buzz baits, and buck tail jigs.
