    I’m always amazed at the thumb control and ability that many of these fishermen have. Thanks for the video.

    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.
    The two loudest sounds are a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and one that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

    Lot of years ago on TV. Unfortunately the videos of him casting on YouTube are such low resolution you can’t make out much.

    Common man: like to have you bring your whippy rod and 2# line here to Kentucky/Barkley Lakes and show me how it handles are bass. Probably spend your time practicing knot tying. Guessing you fish deep clear lakes with little cover. Do you think that the FLW and BASS pros will be into these rods? I suspect that your tarpon was from cover free water.
    As far as " We get it" comment I don't believe you do. What I disagree with the statements made that these high end Japanese rods ARE SUPERIOR to the rods I and others use. Yes I like building rods. Are Japanese rod builders superior those of here in the USA. I think not.

    We get it. You like to tie your own flies and build your own rods. Not everybody has the time or the inclination for that. I have neither, so I happily whip out the VISA.

    A lot of points made here have merit. Where I live and fish, 1-2 lbs lines are synonymous with trout fishing. I am mostly referring to stocker trout in local lakes. I see a number of fisherman with high end spinning and bait-casting gear (yes, BFS is a common occurrence on our trout lakes) that use extremely light lines to hunt for 5-8 lbs trophies. 2 lbs lines are particularly popular among those anglers. I have witnessed a couple of epic fights with lightning trout in the 7-8 lbs range. Those trout get their name for a very good reason. Whippy rods and flawless drag assemblies protect the light lines very well. Why do those guys use such light lines? Because they regularly outfish everyone else on the lake and pull in the biggest catch. For them and myself, it is worth it.

    Good video! Why is he wearing bells around his waist? I assume maybe he is fishing in bear country(?)

    Nope. I've fished pretty similar waters all my life.

    As a general rule, I could not care less what the bass pros do. The bass pros are into whatever their sponsors tell them to be into.

    Maybe, but it was a 50# tarpon. LOL

    I've said it at least a dozen times on this site: tackle is 99.9999% personal preference. Use whatever you like. I don't care. Personally, I'm selling off all my St. Croix and Loomis rods so I can buy more JDM equipment.
