great vid and fish jacob.i know what lake that is.little to far for a day trip for me.lake michigan has some monster smallies too if you guys like clear water fishing.
JACOB YOU AND YOUR DAD ARE TWO OF THE BEST GUYS I'VE EVER FISHED WITH IN MY LIFE LITTLE BUDDY !!!!!!!!!! I'LL always cherish the memories of you both ...... Glad to see you are back on and I remember those spots you are fishing on this video , congrats nice video !
Thanks! I think I was using a Gopro in tandem with an old red camera that looked like a phone that I can't recall the name of. I do know that it was really good, waterproof, and a 100 bucks at Best Buy. I will try to get you the name of it.
And that day they were just post-spawn I believe (it was over two years ago if you can believe that) so they were cruising shallow flats looking for crawdad and nymphs. (We killed the smallies on size 12 bugs tied by David Eitutis on a similar day).
I haven't fished New York at all but you should have a blast in September. Are you going for them on the fly?
Also, I didn't know you gigged! I dabble a bit myself but have not played "Blackbird." "For What It's Worth" is just a great song with great lyrics and message and all. Fishing and guitar are two great passions and I think you have both of them down pretty well!
very enjoyable vid Jacob!
what model camera are you using?
I love fishing clear lakes too Dick, and muddy lakes... and lakes in between. I guess I just like fishing.
Thanks guys, Roger, I will message you the name of the place. Really what I've noticed in Chicago is that you can drive an hour just about every way to somewhere that can have good fishing, but you should probably try to focus somewhere and really learn the heck out of it.
Great video Jacob Linder looks like a great day on the water, plus I love fishing clear lakes.
Jacob, that was indeed an epic day of catching large smallies. Really enjoyed your vid. I am in the Chicagoland area as well, would you possibly share what lake you were fishing?
