    Fluke on Jerkbaits

    I've been playing around with this off and on for a few seasons, things finally came together as my freshwater jerkbait experience (and collection!) grew and I started to understand what depth control is all about fishing a suspending diver from shore. Here's the first video with over 10...

    Walleye Stir Fry!

    Finally managed a new catch and cook, first time seeing a walleye, turned him into stir fry :) Probably the weakest fish I've ever pulled on. Glad I caught a few on my first attempt, not going back ever haha

    JDM Jerkbaits

    Winter buying season in full swing...Valleyhill - Jado collab with Luckycraft, pointers with weight transfer systems and a decidedly head-up posture on the pause (type Js). I hardly throw jerkbaits but I love buying them, I don't know why!

    PB Smallie

    My 5 biggest that day came in a row, all in about an hour...it's a miracle that I managed to stay on that school, they are usually long gone after you catch the first one. Caught my PB that was pushing 22" and another 20"+ that was the fattest smallie I've ever seen in person. I need one or two...

    Spicy Sichuan Tog

    Had my first tog trip of 2019, only kept one legal fish that was/will be consumed 3 or 4 ways lol. Here's a photo of the fish broken down: Notice how white the meat is; this one bled out perfectly, dead within 3 minutes. By popular demand, the head, rack, and one fillet went towards a spicy...

    Anyone Squid Here?

    I have a box full of squid jigs for the past couple of years, never made it out. Anyone here go squidding? It's supposed to start soon...would love a squid catch/cook video or two lol

    Raising Landing %

    One thing about freshwater bass fishing that stymied me early on was keeping fish pinned while they go airborne. Nothing I target in saltwater break surface during a fight, save bluefish and I've never shed a tear over losing a blue. Well losing 4/5lb+ smallies and largemouths result in a LOT of...

    Some Yak Bronze

    Found these fish late summer, stayed on them for a month now...hopefully I get my fix before tog opener! This one wasn't the biggest, but fought like a demon on 5lb floro...

    Grilled Cocktails

    Kept exactly one bluefish this season, perfect size for my new grill basket. Also took forever to edit down this video...my mind is much more on fishing than cooking these days lol. The key to grilling bluefish or porgies (asides from bleeding/icing down) is to salt it down overnight, half...

    Single Jig Fluking

    Some interesting revelations on the underwater shots...that mullet "roll" was unexpected. Shallow water = single jig for me...esp from shore.

    Wish I Had Reverse Drive

    ...I could've stayed on these fish longer. Fluking is so terrible now that 1 keeper makes a video lol

    I Had No Business Landing This Fish

    Harbor test cruise after glue repair on my i11s...halfheartedly targeting fluke to no effect when this happened. Same fish/tackle in open water wouldn't even make a video, but this one had me sweating bullets lol

    Fish Tacos!

    Pretty self explanatory, I will say that the roast corn + kimchi was a winning combination:

    Jerk Shad, the overlooked GULP!

    Backbays and early season (cold water)...I've found the "dead action" of the Gulp Jerk Shad infinitely more effective than the more popular curly tailed models. The 5" on a 1/8 - 3/16oz jig head is my go-to creek bait, and the larger 6" (the 7" is discontinued alas) is a perfect fit behind a...
