    Man. Your channel helped get me hooked on fishing about 12 years ago. I don't even bass fish anymore ,mostly crappie but still gotta check in on the flukemaster every once in a while

      I go for smallies, catfish striper Atlantic salmon. Atlantic salmon shad and trout have made a come back at the river I fish. I'm super excited 😄 about it. A lot of dams are being removed, some taking a while because they're good size. This is openening up areas where Atlantic salmon trout and shad have been trapped, unable to get to the section where I live. One dam this guy is helping remove the dam has taken him and this special crew working with him 12 years to remove. Each passing year, more and more shad Atlantic salmon and trout have made their way back to the area of the river where I live as stated earlier. 😊

Love the channel the content it definitely has helped me to understand how much goes into an anglers preparation to put themselves into a position to win an event! I’m looking forward in participating in your new kayak team tournaments someday! Enjoy the victory and can’t wait to see what you do in 2025 and I will continue to learn from the flukemaster!
