Something my grandpa taught me about improvised poles - Tie your line or cordage at the butt of the pole, and run it down the length of the pole, just throwing on half-hitches every so often to keep it tight to the stick. That way, if you snag or catch something big enough that it pulls the end bark off of the stick or the stick snaps, you don't lose your line, hook, and fish. :)

The #1 thing I (probably WE) appreciate about your videos is how much we learn in such a simple and efficient way. The #2 thing I really appreciate is that you actually stop and appreciate nature; it adds a component that makes us feel even more there and I find that super relaxing...

What I like about this system is that the same active fishing pole can be used for passive fishing when you need to tend to other tasks.

I was taught by my grandad abt hand reel and the fishing snare. Him and a few of his mates taught me abt snares and using catapults for hunting game an fowl. Him an his mates were old school poachers an pest control, taught me an cousin abt shelters an field craft. I was taught this at 8yrs old, I'm 54 now, way before the web an bushcraft Betty's. The point I'm getting at tho, your showing similar old school stuff an I respect you for the fact that you don't hunt it if you ain't going to eat it. I've seen this video an had look at your other vids, you have a new subscriber sir keep up the good work and teaching people how to do it properly. Respect from the black country UK

Corporal your videos on your Ridgeline saved my life tonight. I won't go into much detail cause of ignorance on some people's comments. Brother you saved my ass by teaching me how to move my ass, In a hurry up situation. Flash flood is no joke and I had to haul ass out of the way yet still saved my gear and with the pull off the cord and toggle I got out before a wall of water over took me. Why I didn't just leave it behind and run??? I can't answer that clearly I woke up from my nap and had to think fast. I remember all you taught us on moving and knowing what to do in a fubr situation. Thank you I'm forever greatful I solute you thank you for your service and those like you, damn few!

Very good and you showed the lesson my father always taught us at the end too. If you not going to eat it throw it back.

First fish I ever caught, was with my hand! Literally Five years old, and blood running down my arm! Didn't know what them fins would do, but he wasn't getting away! Lol Nice Video!!! Thanks!

Well that’s a new one on me, an automatic fishing rod and it actually works, just fantastic to watch and something I’m gonna be trying out though I doubt it’s as easy as you make it look but can’t wait to give it a try. Supercool video and well worth watching.

I like that you actually showed it work. Most people just build stuff and show that. Results speak loudly. I subscribed

I'm glad theres videos like this. I probably won't ever get into a serious survival situation but just the idea that I have this knowledge tucked away is pretty nice. L + 7 + cord of sorts + hook of some sort and that's one more opportunity to eat if you're stranded plus afaik the L7 can be used for like most small game snares as well just replace fishing line and hook with a lil wire loop and boom fish and small game without having to hunt it yourself. Edit Spelling in sentence 1 smh

This was in my boy scout book back in the 50s. Kinda cool to see it being taught today!!

Semper Fi Marine, another great tool for the tool box, thanks for sharing. USMC "WE STAND FOR THE FLAG, WE KNEEL FOR THE FALLEN"!

Well, learned something new. "paracord fish bait". Caught a fry, now you have bait for a bigger one.

I actually use that when I was a lot younger my grandfather thought I was insane until of course it worked And I was using a bamboo fishing rod faster reaction to set the hook

I always double 'thumb size' measurements if strength matters - we girls have small thumbs! Nice video!

These are the stuff that good to learn when stranded or lost in the woods that have rivers.

I real like all the ways to make everything you need in a pinch. These are great skills you are teaching everyone. Tent pegs floats even improvised fishing hooks fron can tabs , you can even make fonts out of leaves and sticks if you need to. I cannot every stop praise for you brother you are an awesome trooper and very skilled with woodcratf.

Paracord bait blew my mind. You're an outdoor wizard.

Everytime I'm randomly scrolling through and come across a Corporals Corner video I'm immediately excited. I've grown to like this guy and his no bullshit mentality alot in the past few weeks. I feel like he would be the tough ass blowing a whistle making me work harder and harder, but be the first guy to toss me a beer when the job was done.

Outstanding system - 4 or 5 units along the shore, and supper can be served! 👍

That is friggin awesome! Sending this to my son he will love it! Thanks again for more outstanding knowledge!

Thanks for another well shot video! I know making these takes a lot of time and effort. They are appreciated for sure.

You had me at "stick around". I'm hooked on this new method of fishing.

Agree with previous comments, another useful tool for the box. Keep the faith.

I don't care what the topic has been or the format used...I always enjoy your videos and always experience an "aha" moment .. I got ahold of a few of the yoyo automatic fishing reels...but they are not legal to use everywhere and could cause trouble just for having them in my pack...your solution is a great work around. Thank you, Corporal!

The tent that my, walk all over the Smokies, friend has and has a spare of is a Coleman Aries Peak 1. He said he would change when both were worn out. Love your videos. Great info! Keep'em coming!

I watched a marathon of your videos today tethered to a heating pad. I enjoyed them all, thank you.

Well I made one of these from a tree branch from the back yard. I’ll be trying it out in some small mountain lakes all this coming week. Thanks Corporal as always for your FIRST RATE USMC instruction! Semper Fi brother.

Love this video. I've lost a bit of bait to fish nibbling but not biting and such. This may bring new meaning to "flying fish".

I like the way you have your bow saw tensioned, it looks like it will prevent racking. Good idea.

That is a nice looking fishing line and pole you have there and I need to remember this for when I am going camping. I wish you and your family a Happy Memorial Day and hope you all have a great day.

I really enjoy your videos, I really enjoy the fact that even though you are military that you are not overly military as some other channels.

I'll B, para cord fishing bait. Gotta love it! Way GOOD! I had not heard of that one. I used a cigarette filter frayed out as a make shift lure and that works. Para cord! Now that was a real "SAY WHAT" moment! Seriously GOOD!

I’ve tried it when I went camping. I cannot believe it works. I’m amazed and I’ve shown a Friend if mine when I recorded it. Unbelievable. ✌️😅

A similar setup using a sapling or tree limb can be used for snares also. Great fishing setup.

Much respect sir! Great content! And, you are the only one I've ever seen, that acknowledges EVERY comment!

Daddy is teaching his son the right thing. I do the same with my kids.

Love your videos man. Can’t imagine how much time you’ve put into your craft, let alone taking the time to learn it all. Errrahhh

I need to say that you are one of the best if not the best ”survival” youtubers out there! I just love your ideology of survival! Keep up the good work♥️

As always, quality information and a great video. Thanks for all your efforts, very much appreciated.

This is a really good set up with easy to follow instructions. Probably get some backyard practice before trying.

That's a neat trigger, pretty cool that even a little dude like that can set it off.

You definitely have a bunch of wise tricks up your sleeve, and the passive fishing system is one of those. Awesome. Fishing with paracord as bait, never seen that before. But it definitely works. I've been watching a fisherman in England that fishes with bread, corn and canned meat. That works, too. As one old timer said, if they're biting, they're biting. Excellent video.

Ok finally a decent instruction on the L7. Seen pictures but they left a lot to desire.

Solid video. Valuable content for the community

The force is STRONG with that terrapin!!!

There are numerous versions of this technique (amazing how many "trained" survivalists on tv don't use it though) but I watched the video anyway due to your teaching style and video production quality. Your clear concise instruction and video work really are a pleasure to watch. Then you used paracord for bait and was instantly fishing when I would have still been poking around looking for a grub or something. Once again this shows how no one should be a "Survival Primadonna" as we can always learn something new. Thank you for once again expanding my horizons and "tool box". Great video!!

Very cool video and im sure there would be a way to secure the pole from an anchor point just in case a larger fish was caught. It's literally and infomercial for the ultimate stealth fisherman

Hey Cpl just wanted to thank you for the quality content and information. Been watching a lot of your videos lately, and you're one of the best wilderness-adjacent channels on YT. Keep it up, you're the best!

Thank you, Corporal, I learned something new today!! This will come in handy on this summer camp and hike!

It is nice to see someone teaching useful information on their channel!

This is by far the most intelligent use of the versatile L7 trap ethos!

Good to Go!. We usually carry yo-yo's as our normal passive fishing method... but learning other techniques is always great as well. Thanks for sharing!

paracord as bait? that's a new one for me - thanks for the tip. here's one my father learned by accident when he was a kid and passed on to me (active fishing only though) - in a pinch, the pull tabs from beer/soda/etc cans can work like a spinner lure.

This is excellent! In a survival situation, one could set up several of these units and increase one's chances.

Thank you, your respect for Natur is present. The little Dude, Butterflys + the fish lived.Love that bit of Smile factor I get. ... Your how-to instruction for more food by Passive Fishing can help all over the world. Back to basics using natural material by sharing knowledge.

There is no doubt you are one of the coolest guy ever!!!

Lol haven't seen this in yrs almost forgot about it ! My uncle made something like this for boat and eel fishing . It was just the 7 notch stick he'd put the pole under his legs . Bend the pole over and set the line just under the notch. When they bit . The pole would spring and alert him too take care brother

Thanks for throwing that little fish back in.🙏

So simple yet effective. I love it! Thanks

Green wood sure cuts easily than dry wood. Willow makes a great fishing pole. Thanks for posting this video!

it's a good method for fishing the scottish lochs,so the bailiffs don't catch you,but we use a live branch next to the edge,and a long branch for the trigger pushed into the side of the bank low to the water

Absolutely dig your videos, I’m learning! One suggestion though if that’s ok. When handling a fish that you’re planning on releasing, it’s good practice to wet your hands first if possible and try to handle the fish as little as possible. Fish have a natural slime coating that protects them from disease and our hands can remove that coating. Keep up the good work!

Nice setup simple and it works. Thanks for your service, have a great Memorial Day.

Once again another AWESOME video with easy to understand step by step instructions for a very useful skill to keep in mind if ever in a situation that you need to sustain yourself. Great job, I look forward to seeing more of your videos !

Good one. I've seen a few in my time, this is the simplest that seems to work good.

I was apple picking on private land in Colorado, I just got some hooked leaders, looped on an exposed root, by a small pool and put on a grasshopper. every leader has a trout on it after picking apples most the day.

Another awesome idea. Thank you for your time and effort making this for us.

First time i saw the video i dont understand how forces work on basic stick... but at 6:45 it clears to me... But i need to work on it to check it. Very clever. So we can say, if the small wood piece you make on start of video 2:00, is smaller, then the sensitivity is higher when catch a fish.

Great idea if you’re only after small fish. I’ve tried this technique with rod and reel and a large fish take off with it. Fortunately I snagged it with another rod and lure with treble hooks from the bottom of the pond after the fish broke the line.

THIS CPL , ENDORSES THIS WISDOM AND LEARNED FROM IT. SIMPLICITY DEFEATS COMPLEXITY . YOU ARE ACTIVATED , CPL-USMC. THANK YOU FOR GOOD INSTRUCTION.

I’d be running the line continuously from being tied off to the ‘heel stake’ with a couple of meters free line to the the heel of the rod, then several half hitches along the rod to the tip (incase it snapped, and to prevent if from just slipping off), and continue without cutting at the toggle (just two loops around the grooves). Also, when selecting my pole, I’d leave a couple of branches, at least 10cm long, that lock the pole behind the Y post. This all can ensure that a bigger fish or eel, can’t just take your hard work for a swim.

I like your trigger system it works for a lot of deferent snares. In my great grand Dads day little things like this made the deference in eating or going hungry. Good job and thank you.

Great tutorial. Clear & Comprehensive 👍🏼🎣

Oddly enough when i was 7 to 12 i caught more fish and crabs and the occasional loster, with a bamboo cane fishing rod, a handline. A strong stick to search under rocks at low tide. Than i ever did with my fancy fishing rod. Its real was for ever tangled. Good presentation weldone. Thank you for posting.

Effing awesome bro! A guy could really fill his belly with A few of those setups! Just imagine, a real survival senario, lost in the woods for two weeks, search and rescue shows up expecting an emaciated skinny, starving individual... Imagine their surprise when they see you're ten pounds heavier than than when you went missing!! That is good to go... No horse-shit Wang!! Thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff. Turn a survival situation to thriving. I got to try this.

This was a great vid Shawn. I've seen it before, but the way you explain it and show it in step by step instructions is helpful. Also like the way you show it to be set up in two ways (making the whole thing from a straight stick and a Y branch. Finally, seeing it in action and knowing that you don't need bait or any fancy do-dads to catch a fish is fantastic. Thanks for the vid, the advice and instruction!

Excellent instruction once again. Ordered a swag man roll through your page and it came in two days ago. Very nice product!

Corporal thank you for making this an easy to follow project. I enjoy the way you teach. Please keep those videos coming!

That was excellent! With this rig I will be able to catch fish right in my front yard. I am also just learning to whittle so this is a perfect project for me. Thank you. I have liked and subscribed!

Always check your regs. These are not always legal. Of course, that doesn’t matter if it is needed for survival!

I’ve seen this trap before but a sapling was used instead of a severed pole! Allows you to skip the step of securing the pole to the ground! Still a great idea for smaller fish, but a good sized catfish could pull that in unless it’s very secure! If I depended on this trap I would have to use a sapling already rooted into the ground for better security! That’s definitely a great option if no saplings are on the bank.

Took an overnighter last weekend. Set up camp by 1 and at 5 pm I limited out in my state ,, got up at 6 am fixed breakfast and was at the rivers edge at 7 am at 1 pm I had limited out again ,, that was one fun overnighter,, the state limit in ga is 35 ,, I must have tossed back close to 100 that size over the two days of fishing .. I did have a cooler and ice and running water to clean and preserve them with..

Great job alot of great information and comments. Thank you for your service.

I'd like to thank you for your service as well as this simple set up. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing, I was just wondering if you put out a new video. Always great information. Atb

Didn't make the lake Monday. Underestimated the water levels and temps. All the creek crossings where shin deep waders in the snow melt creeks. Made 6 crossings then I got a little green from the altitude. We rigged the shelters and grabbed bags and quilts about 4:30! Lol

Reminds me of a tip-up during the frozen water months...👍

We used a similar system in Brazil to catch large lizards, usually an overhanging branch rather than a pole. It had to be strong enough to lift their front feet off the ground.

That’s pretty good. What I do is make main trigger and live overhanging limbs without cutting it off the bush or tree.

I have only seen these in books and never tried to make one. Thanks for sharing.

As always fabulous post! All the guys out here CA, . Redlands thanks for the training.

TYVM again for the educational video. I am definitely going to utilize this system next time I go to the lake.

Very interesting and useful for a situation I hope I am never in... but I will be ready.

I was never in the military I tried three times all during times that we were involved in combat but you my friend rock and roll and it would have been a privilege and a pleasure to have known you in that Arena you are very knowledgeable and instructive and have a good way of teaching I like the L7 fishing rod kudos to you my friend

Thanks Corporal I enjoyed that very much I will be doing automatic L7 fishing thank you CK

Corporal...that was sweet!!! Can’t wait to give this a try...so easy to do too!!! 👍🏻

I always wanted to build something like this for a regular pole. Cast your line, have an extension pole tip with the trip wire attached that hooks lower on the pole......fish pulls on your line and pop !.....reel it in !
