Osprey is one I didn't think about. That would be a good guess.

While I was filming on Lake Erie I came across this bluegill that had damage to its dorsal and had healed over. I'm curious what you may think caused it? Short one minute video of damaged bluegill click here

I've fished the east arm before, but never the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay. This spring trip I had 4 hours to locate and catch some fish. What a spectacular fishery. I'll definitely be coming back there in the future. Below is a link to my video from that morning on the west arm of Grand Traverse Bay. Grand Traverse Bay Video Click Here

This question is for just this year. What is the oddest or craziest thing you witnessed while fishing this year? Mine was late summer while fishing with my channel partner Jim. We went out of Port Clinton Ohio on Lake Erie. The first one that caught us by surprise was a lady coming out of her home as we were fishing the bank. She had a well fitted bikini on and we tried not to make it obvious as we took a look her way. The next thing you know she walks down to the beach and out in the water coming towards us. We were only in about 3 foot of water so first thought was is she going to walk all the way to our boat? Was she made because we were fishing in front of her beach front home? Nope! Instead she gives us big smile and drags some kind of core digger for taking samples. She walks about 15 feet from our boat and bends over giving a full shot of the cleavage as she turned the core around and around. I know I should have just turned the GoPro right in her direction, but I didn’t . Lol. It was pretty apparent she did it on purpose. You can see her in the intro part of the video in the link below. It was a distant shot as we were moving away. The next thing that happened was just a couple hours later. We were fishing the Portage River mouth where it enters Lake Erie. There is heavy boat traffic that is constantly going in and out of the river. Including the giant ferry boats that go to the islands. People line the rock pier and fish all the way up and down for catfish. This young man was fishing when a yacht got a little too close to his catfish line. The next thing you know the boat’s intake sucked his line up ,and his rod took off from shore as it was sucked in the intake. He was furious he lost his fishing pole. That is around the 3:55 minute mark I think in this video. What was your craziest thing you seen in 2024? https://rumble.com/v5o6vnb-port-clinton-ohio-bass-fishing.html?mref=66lt3&mc=9e0fe

I did another filming session under water on Lake Erie. I covered various rock piles and different structure along the bottom. I came across someone's lure down there as well. Smallmouth, Largemouth, walleye, Yellow Perch, and some junk fish along the water. Check out how the fish act in their natural environment. https://rumble.com/v58zvx9-lake-erie-fish-under-the-waves.html?mref=66lt3&mc=9e0fe

I went looking for the Success Shipwreck due to the fascinating history of the ship. In this video, you will find out the facts of it being used as a floating prison. The Great Houdini did an escape trick from one of its cells. The water was murky this day, but there are quite a few fish swimming around the wreck. https://rumble.com/v578vv9-the-history-and-underwater-view-of-the-success-shipwreck-on-lake-erie.html?mref=66lt3&mc=9e0fe

Thanks man. I'm working on another one that I was checking out today. This is a widely known shipwreck on Erie.

Ed I was in Michigan waters western basin. One thing I can't figure out that I could use some help with is figuring out what kind of fish those little ones were towards the end of the video. Some sort of fry. The waves were picking up, so it was a little harder to keep the camera steady.

Who still uses their side scan fairly regularly? I had it on my old boat, then when I got my fiberglass Ranger it didn't come with it. I didn't replace it for several years. I finally got it back on my boat I got in the fall. Man, I didn't realize how much I missed it until I put back on this boat. I was scouting around Lake Erie and came across a couple old wrecks on the bottom that I never knew were there. I had my ice fishing camera with me, and I was able to drop that down as well and get a decent look at it with the fish around it. I have to say it was my highlight of fishing year so far. I think I enjoy finding something new to fish as much as catching a big one sometimes. This spot did hold good smallmouth too. https://rumble.com/v55k4xt-finding-shipwrecks-with-your-electronics.html?mref=66lt3&mc=9e0fe
