    A good reminder to everyone that bank fishing can be a grind, even for a PRO. Sometimes it's not the quantity or size of the fish, but the work it took to get that fish. After a long grind, 1 little fish can really boost your spirits. Great video man!

    Dude, me & my brother were there at the aquarium fishing that same place that morning, it was a tough day, but we were in a boat, but that place is usually on fire & you gave me an idea to try from the bank sometime, we started across from the golf course at 6:30 am & the bites lasted till about 9 am, great video though at least you didn't get skunked👍

    To be honest I was spoiled growing up did a tone of boat fishing with Dad and Grandfather, Bank fishing sucks don't have patience for it dealing with trees and crap. I stop fishing after leaving home cause I didn't have a Boat now I live in Northern NY fishing St Lawarence River for big Muskie and Smallmouth On a Deep v Alumacraft Lovin life. But to be honest I like watching people bank fishing and seeing a Pro come off his boat and bank fishing is fun do it again I say liked vid man.

    Its actually heartwarming to see the great Jacob Wheeler struggling on the bank like many of us 😉 I fished for an hour and a half tonight and had 4 strikes until I finally landed a 1.5 lb largemouth on a wacky rigged senko so it's good to see one of the best out there also struggles at times 😉

    Lake Jr. is a stocked trout lake, mostly late winter to early spring. I've never targeted bass when fishing in there, but I've always wondered. And the dink bite is a bite nonetheless!! Great to see you (literally) on stomping grounds my dude. Tight lines!!

    Check out history of Lake junior it's connected with the big lake. They stoke with trout that's why you every now and then catch a trout just above or below the damn. Very dangerous little when i was little and people swam there many many drownings...some recovered in the river or lake later. Just a cool little lake not for many bass let alone big ones... great video keep it up...

    Getting ready to launch over at broad ripple park to fish north of the park. Saw Dizzle on the bank on Memorial Day. I figured it would be a excellent way to get the mind right. Just keep inspiring people to get them lines wet and catch ‘em. Had many of days where the bank is hot and hard.
    You strike out more times than you catch em. Truth!

    Fished today 05/30/2022 at Booker T Wasington in that little cove by the bathroom got a few bites but small fish. I threw evrything but left my kichen sink at home. Even a Rattlin Ned didn't catch anything. I fish Lake Junior some weekends. The water was way up over the picnic table pads for a long time. It is stocked with trout every year as well as Jack Dickert Pond in Eas Ridge. Last time I fished there I caught a few small bass on the Ned and a catfish on a Vibrating Jig.

    The jig was good. But forgetting to bring a Vudu shrimp might be a mistake (to catch a flounder). Seth Feider caught one fishing St. Johns River in Florida last spring. I don't know whether he was offended, surprised or reassured. Or some combination of all. I always tell myself, I must be doing something right. When I see flat fish on the line.
