Nothing better than being out by yourself enjoying the nature and fishing

This video is so calming and enjoyable to watch. I have a migraine sitting here at work and feel it slowly ebbing away while watching this. Good work and good fish!

Every predatorial fish in the river that's what will eat it. Yum yum!

What a peaceful, relaxing video. Gorgeous scenery and one of my favorite lures to round it out! Thanks for taking the time to create this.

For a buried treble hook in your hand (or anywhere else) I would suggest carrying a linemans pliers or better yet, a side cutter (dikes) to cut the hook, so you do not have to paddle back to the put-in with a hook in your hand. Also, of course, always carry a good first aid kit. You never know what you may encounter that can wound you out on the water, especially fishing alone. Tight lines.

Kayak fishing for pike in small Michigan rivers is my favorite pastime. When they are on they are ON!

This video reminds me of fishing the Rogue River with my brother near Sparta about 20 years ago. I had strapped my waders to the top of my Chevy station wagon to dry out and some asshole stole them while I shore fished.

Whopper plopper is one of the most underrated lures. Nice video 🎣

I love the plopper - it produces some major surface blowups with largemouth bass in my neck of the woods.

I keep a really small first aid kit in my tackle box, because I do a lot of wading. It comes in handy I’ll tell you. Nice smallies btw !!! Great video !

Hello from Belgium. A little tip: if you want to increase your take-rate on the Whopper-Plopper, I suggest replacing the original hooks by f.i. Gamakatsu hooks with straight hook tips.
The standard hooks have the tips inclined inwards.
It certainly increase my take-rate with appr. 40%

That Pike hit where you got blasted with water 💦 - awesome!!!

[chrisborgemenke]

I have a kayak bag that goes in the boat when I go out that does include a first aid kit. Also a copy of my launch permit, fire starting materials a spare knife sun screen and a flash light. It does not weigh much and is prepared in advance

I always carry a small tube of crazy glue in my tackle for cuts like that.
Closes it right up and you don't have to worry about dealing with bandaids coming off. 🤙🏻

My man, I watched this video last night. Went out this morning and demolished LM/SM on the Plopper!! just wanted to say thanks for posting.

I keep a little Ziploc bag with bandaids, tape, gauze, alcohol wipes, emergency teepee and super glue. Very convenient to have
