    lived on a property in Upstate NY in the early 90's. Had a yellow and black one latch on to me as I was working around the farm pond (filled with trout fry). This was one serious insect! Thanks for the 'fun facts'. PS: the fry would get to the 3-4" range and then the resident Blue Heron would stop by for a repast.

Bass, pike, muskie, etc. all go for mice, rats, squirrels, etc. I've watched many of your videos and see your German Shepherd (such a gorgeous dog) and how you two get along. I think you should make a chipmunk sized copy of your dog and take your dog lure fishing! :-) Good luck, should you accept this challenge!!! Love your channel!

    I think you would be able to make a soft-body version of that lure. It would obviously have less detail, but the legs seem robust enough to be able to withstand a molding.
    Or do a mix of soft and wood body, like a salamander balsa body and legs, stick a hook out the back, and you could have various soft tails (different sizes and colors) you could then thread onto the hook and be able to change them up.

    I know it’s winter and all however I’d be very interested to see how you’d approach creating a whopper plopper style top water bait. Maybe something a little less traditional but with the same concept. That would be my vote! Also, you should totally do a video in the spring or summer with the baits you had created this winter when fish is tough. A lot of the baits you made would totally slay on a good fishing day!

    I'm an entomology student and I find it so interesting when you make your insect lures! Belostomatids are pretty intimidating to mess with. My professor told us stories of them swarming the lightpoles where he used to live and falling on him! There are a lot of cool insects that live in the waters as adults and as juvenilles. Dragonfly and damselfly naiads would be an interesting lure possibly. They have an extendable labrum (basically their bottom jaw) that shoots out to catch food similar to how a frog's tongue does. Nepidae (water scorpions) could be a cool lure too! They angle themselves in the water because they have a "butt straw" to breathe air with; it's actually called a siphon, but butt straw is kinda hilarious. They also have raptorial front legs like mantids do. They're pretty spindley guys, but if you could get them to have that angle in the water, that would be super interesting!

    I want to get into Lure making like this. My father in law is a retired biologist / habitat rebuilder for the Wyoming game and fish and has advised me against using lead in baits. Do you have any other suggestions for metals to use in baits? I have heard of people using steel washers as well as melted tungsten just want your opinion if I could pick your brain.

      @@gunnerbaker1426 my father in law went to school as a biologist and started bottom rung in the game and fish and worked his way up the food chain around the state. Ultimately he retired as the manager for that department. I would contact your local game and fish office and see if you can sit down and talk with them about what they do. It's my wife's father so I do not have a ton of knowledge on the subject. My wife is going into a similar field and she is currently getting a bachelor's in wildlife biology and wants to work with the game and fish to rebuild bird habitats. The field requires a biology degree I can tell you that for sure.

    I would just like to thank you! My wife and I have started placing bets on if you will catch a fish at the end of your videos and lets just say you have made me quite a bit of money. :) Keep up the amazing work.

    If you're going to do anything with lead like you did the legs, I would suggest just using a carving knife since lead is so soft (plus no dust) and also hammering lead with wire in the middle can make the lead slide off the wire as the shape changes. Awesome video though, keep up the great work!!!!

    I ran into one in northern Wisconsin. It landed on my minnow bucket and took a chunk out of the Styrofoam handle. If cellphones would have existed back then I would have taken a quick picture of it...IT was HUGE.
