I've always wanted to try fishing for largemouth specifically on the hard water. I found a mini wacky worm plastic called a "Mustache Worm" where I hooked this plastic on a tungsten jig. It worked surprisingly well.

I got both my boys to come ice fishing with me and I was able to put them on some fish!

I forgot the wax worms, so I had to improvise.

I have a lot of worms left over from the fall, so I've been using them for ice fishing. They work well, but I wanted to test them against the tried and true wax worms to see what works better.

You can still catch fish while ice fishing without the super crazy mega chad giga live sonar scope view. I swear. Here's video proof.

My end of the year review of all the fishing videos I made this year (I made 85 fishing videos in 2021. That's insane!) and plans for 2022. I'm going to try to get to 100 different species caught (I'm at 68 right now) and one of them better be a muskie!

I had several fish on that I wish I landed this year. Instead of putting out the customary greatest catches of the year, here's the ones that got away.

The ice fishing in Southern Wisconsin SUCKS so I took my kayak out and rammed through the really thin ice to ice fish... kinda. Caught a lot of fish, though!

So this company, Runcl, liked a reel review I did and gave me some swim baits to test out. Here you go!

Well, I shouldn't stay they are in all the harbors. They are in Port Washington, WI - A harbor in southern Wisconsin. Here's a video on how I catch burbot from shore in the harbor.

The burbot are in the harbors of the Great Lakes in late fall and early winter. Here's how to catch them from shore.

I love the beetle spin, but I never had a 1/16 ounce size until now. I tried it out in a little creek and then at the pond. It worked really well.

I went this past weekend, and there were still several lively kings (and a lot of dead ones on shore) when I was fishing. Hooked up with a king, a little brook trout, a pike, and my boys caught a smallmouth (which is rare in mid November) and a dirty king. A good weekend to say the least. Also, I cleaned up some trash, as there's plenty of that (sadly) around the Milwaukee River.

Finally got around to editing and putting together a painful creek fishing trip (in more ways than one) where I was testing out a barbless crawfish lure. Had a huge smallmouth on for a little creek and...

Went out with my son, my brother, and my brother's son fishing for trout and salmon in the Milwaukee River. We caught a few!

Tried out a new reel and jerk bait and hooked into a real nice red coho salmon. Caught a pike and smallmouth, too.

Hooked up to a big fish on my ultralight. My line got wrapped in a tree, and in the river on a 2x4, and the fish bent my hook, but I somehow still landed it.

Check out this vid where I catch two personal bests on the same trip with a wicked cheap Walmart Lure.

The Kalin's Tickle Tail worked really good in the river and in the pond for Largemouth. It also was a pretty tough plastic.

Navigated a shallow stretch of Southern Wisconsin Creek and found a lot of fish willing to bite.

I went to the harbor and tried out jigging for the four year old king salmon that are hanging around before they run upriver.

I've been told several times to try the rooster tail inline spinner for creek fishing. They were right! Caught a whole mess of fish in a little creek including some surprisingly large smallmouth with it.

Got a new surface lure called a Revolver and tried it out as well as compared it to a Hula Popper. Caught smallmouth, pike, and largemouth.

I tried to catch a largemouth on five different bass fishing rigs. I'm pretty partial to the Texas Rig after doing this. (Ned Rig is fun, too)
