Chris yes sir what a way to start my Monday morning and watch and enjoy the crappie slayer in action!!! Tight lines take care and God bless!

[NaturalStateFishing]

Caught some beautiful ones!!! I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a black nose 13”! Lol that was a monster! Great video!

[The_Next_Cast]

Another great video Chris! That Shimano reel definitely is well built and seems perfect for ultralight fishing! Very beautiful first catch of the day! Wow, you hooked into some great Crappie the whole video! Thanks for sharing!

[FitnessOutdoors]

Fantastic overview of the features and benefits of the reel. Beautiful foggy morning as the backdrop to commence your outing. The reel looks super smooth and handled all your catches with ease. Those were some beauties you caught. Nice hogs at 7:00 and 9:00 ✅.

Another great video and some beautiful crappie, Chris!! Keep those video's coming!

[frankmccutchen]

Great video! I just bought the Nasci Reel and I have been very happy with it catching a lot of rainbow trout with it

[Double-g-jb]

Love the crappie video on the pond prowler

[swampstalkeroutdoors]

Man brother you sure got the quality dialed in on the videos, awesome job! Don’t know how you get the colors on them fish to pop but 🔥 I really like the looks of that little reel, I’m a big fan of the Shimano lineup and they’ve never let me down. Keep on ripping lips and putting out bangers brother and you’re gonna be out there full time!

[fsupoutdoors]

The Nasci is nasty! Great vid as usual man you got on a bunch of nice slaberinos in this one 👍

[jerryjohnson]

Always enjoy fishing vicariously with you. I really like the action of the paddle tail jigs and will have to look for them. Thank you!

[JimSpackey-ibuo]

Another great one, look forward to your videos, by far your a favorite, always give detailed information, can't wait for the next one

[Fishing_with_Domingo]

Brother Chris, this was an amazing fishing trip with some slabs!! I'm going to get in the kayak and chase them slabs, too! Awesome fishing trip!! 🙏💯💯🏆🏆🐟

[nottomgreen]

Great channel. I instantly subscribed. John Dalton from Creek Fishing Adventures mentioned you in his most recent podcast. That's how I found you. I really like the high quality close-up before you release them. Gorgeous fish.

[DrDitchpickle]

Right on bro! Nasci is a little powerhouse. Great drag and super smooth.
I swear man those 12 in crappie are stacked up in there! Great video

[atoadigi]

Chris, have you checked out the new "Roo" baits from Trout/Crappie Magnet yet? I just ordered some because they look awesome. A Bobby Garland shad type body with the Crappie Magnet double tails and a slot in the rear of the bait to insert a crappie nibble. There's really no info on YouTube yet except for the promo from Leland. I can't wait to get them and give them a try.

[troutmagnetman]

Great video with some nice crappie. Nasci are good reels.

[thetroutslayer]

Great video man, Those Crappie were gorgeous!!!

[haroldfields]

Awesome video. Nice crappie. Really like that Shimano reel.

[Fish-and-Jeeps]

Just fantastic, Chris! Thank you!

Any plans on budget friendly rod & reel setup Panfishing? 😊
