As one who fishes only with very old lures, I really appreciate and enjoyed the video. I also appreciate the sounds of nature and no obnoxious background music as in many of these videos.

I'm not knocking any fishing youtubers but coming from other fishing channels to yours theres a big difference more calm quiet and very natural love this channel

I wish a slow day of fishing for me entailed catching 7+ fish...

It looks like your Grandpa never really left you... great tribute!

Hi I’m 72 and you brought a tear in my eye . My father used to take me and my cousin in a row boat fishing we would use worms and catch perch & sunnies my father loved using jitterbugs I remember late one afternoon he caught a 5 lb bass and a 28 inch pickerel and he told we better go home before he emptied the lake . What memories

RIP to your grandpa I’m sure he’s happy seeing you fish with his lures

I miss fishing trips with my grandpa. The smell of black coffee, Marlboros, and mixed gas take me back every time.

Love that you paid homage to your gramps. I’m positive he’d be impressed with the angler you’ve become. Keep up the great work!!

Looking through that tackle box was like opening a time capsule, so cool! Just goes to show you that fishing hasn’t changed at all over the past 50 yrs. I only buy cheap Walmart lures & catch a lot of fish on them. Those old lures still work, thanks for an awesome vid!

15:16 I'm not crying! You are! also... I would like to thank your Grandpa for teaching you about fishing.

My Grandfather just passed last month, at the ripe old age of 93. A man who brought me kicking and screaming as a 10 year old to go fishing for Trout in a tiny stream with a worm and a piece of twig as a float. I fished for hours with nothing to show until that twig suddenly disappeared and I was in contact with something from another world...a six inch Trout. A tiny fish now, but a huge fish in the grander scheme, a moment that shaped the rest of my life. Thank you, Sir, for reminding me what is important in life...you brought a tear to my eye and a smile to my face.

“That ones for you grandpa! Thank you for everything you taught me.” Jesus dude I came by to see cool fishing vids, and you got me tearing up. God bless ya man.

You’re like the Bob Ross of kayak fishing! Relaxing vids always

Wow, made me choke up a lil. When you held that fish up to honor your Grandpa. My Grandpa just passed, in Jan, miss him so much. Wasn't really a fisherman, but he was definitely a hunter! But I do believe i get my work ethic from him, such a hard worker, he loved it! I believe the day he couldn't work the same as he use to is when he got sick, mentally, physically, emotionally. Thank you, awesome video!

I liked this video for the simple fact that he understood his grandpa would've preferred he USE the lures rather than display them. Signed: a grandpa

My Grandma died in December (COVID :( ), and I didn't keep much from her home but the fishing box and a couple of rod/reel sets (they used to go fishing a lot with my Grandpa, coarse fishing, very popular in France). As an angler, it was very special for me to open such a box. The smell, all the gear that shows their fishing techniques, their little hacks... And all the gear that I recognized, because I went fishing with them when I was a kid. More important: this gear can still catch fish, so I can keep it alive, me and my children. That is what I call a treasure.

My dad passed away 3 yrs ago when I was 22 of pancreatic cancer and I can’t bring myself to use any of his lures. Regardless of the age. He has some spinner baits I made myself in there. And some other nice baits from the 50’s. I think were my grandpas

This is what he would have wanted, he would have loved seeing you fishing with his lures. And when your time comes you two will reunite in heaven and catch all the ten pounders up there

As one of the three guys who founded the (NFLCC) National Fishing Lure Collectors Club this video was especially meaningful to me. I thank you so much for sharing it.

There is nothing like fishing with old lures. I absolutely love some of their unique designs and they way they are made. My goal this winter is to hand carve many of these. I have found that modern plastic lures can't duplicate the action of wood lures.

Your Grandpa loved you regardless if you fished or not, but you honor him greatly by walking in his footsteps and traditions.

Great video. My grandfather taught me to fish and hunt. He's been gone for 20 years now. I really wish he was around to see all the big fish and deer that I've been able to harvest in the years since he passed. He would be very proud. I'm sure your Grandfather would love this channel.

That was a cool little tribute to your grandfather. I remember my grandfathers V-hull boat with that black Mercury engine. 🎣

the river runt is a classic!

They worked for grandpa and the fish haven’t changed. In fact, odds are good the fish haven’t seen these in a long time.

Great tribute to your grand dad, i hope i leave that type of memory on my grand kids.

Your grandpa is proud of you. Appreciate your sentiments toward previous generations.

Your grandpas box looks just like my granddads. Thanks for sharing man. Feels peaceful to go through those old lures

Thank you so much for taking the time to shoot this! Your grandfather, I'm sure, would be very happy to see his lures still being used, and proud to see them used so successfully!

Why would anyone give this a thumbs down. Really cool video definitely enjoyable to watch. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

I’m almost every video I see the comment of how much more relaxed your videos are than others. Iv been watching your videos for a while now, and I have to say you make the BEST fishing content. From the raw nature we see and hear in every video to your relaxing voice, it makes every video captivating to the viewer. At the same time you provide great commentary, which I enjoy. It’s not always about freaking out about a 4lb smallie. It’s every moment in between, and the experience while catching fish. Thank you for the work you do in each video. I am sure your grandpa would be proud.

The oldies classics never dies. Your grandpa is with you for luck.

I have not enjoyed a fishing video this much in a very long time. Thank you so much for sharing.

That smallie hitting the Runt was awesome!

I am 69 my Dad passed away in 1974 at 48 years old ..... I still fish with 2 rod and reels he used... and I still have a River runt from when we fished. Thanks for the video!

Bet he's looking down and proud of you using his old equipment and skills you learned from him and SLAYING those smallies

See fish dont care about your 30 dollar lures, grandpas fishing box tells a story and lure catch any fish

My grandfather was instrumental in teaching me the love of fishing. I have some of the same era life’s from his box as well. Great memories.

This dude has got life by the balls. Heading out to enjoy a day of successful fishing thinking about the good times with gramps and catching smallies on his vintage lures. Can’t think of a better day. Cheers my friend.

What fun. Your grandfather's lures were my lures when I was learning to fish. My dad put his faith primarily in River Runts, Lazy Ikes and Tadpollies. Some modern anglers talk about lures as "tools" that do certain jobs. For those of us who fished in the Fifties, these were our fishing buddies, and we had a lot of emotion about them. You do so well with the Whopper Plopper. You might try a Jitterbug when fish are hitting surface stuff. That's a fun lure . . . or fishing companion.

one of the best fishing videos i have ever seen. a salute to grandpa.

That black & white Tiny Torpedo was my “go to” lure for early morning Racquette River small mouth when I lived in Northern NY. Still use it today but the Whopper Plopper definitely makes a bigger commotion. Your Grand-dad would be proud.

My grandpa's tacklebox looked just about like that... God bless them. This is my favorite fishing vid this year so far, and I watch a LOT of channels. Kayak cinematography is really nice, swooshy pleasant shots, awesome look at your fish swimming on the line. "That one's for you, Grandpa -- Thanks for everything you taught me" was my favorite part of all.

I love how feisty Small Mouth are. It takes two seconds for them to recover once you put them back in the water. And pound for pound they are one of the best fighting fish. I love the lures you chose to fish in this video. They are truly classics. Keep up the great videos man.

Well thanks to your grandpa, you just proved we are all wasting money buying all the specialty lures on the market.LOL great video as always!!

Great video! Grandpa would be proud!

All the other fishing KZfaq channels are fast pace, and do intense hook sets, screaming about their mediocre fish. You are just so relaxed and clam, it’s pleasant to watch your videos. Great tribute to your grandfather.

Well....I'm a sucker for someone who appreciates the angler relatives who have gone before him. With this video you brought the sight, sound motion and....a little extra emotion. Thank you very much.

The 5 Diamond Daredevil... What a classic lure

Your grandfather's tackle box looks just like my grandpa's did. Funny, mine was from the South but still had a lot of those same baits. Awesome video! Love the old school stuff

Amazing tribute to your grandpa , bringing forty year old lures back to life , and catching beautiful smallmouth .

Absolutely beautiful “bronzebacks”!!...you know grandpa is tickled...thanks for sharing....👍🏼🇺🇸

That same style River Runt was handed to me by my Grandfather. It's tied on my sons pole today.

Nice video. Gramps would be proud. Always a pleasure watching your vids. Good job of editing and narration besides the fish catching.

You are soooo lucky to have freshwater fishing like that in America. Definitely envious.

Your Grandfather would be proud to see you using those and catching fish with them at that, thanks for sharing.

You did something ive always dreamed of doing. Super cool of you to reuse an old family heirloom.

This is amazing man. Putting your grandpa's knowledge to use and his old lures 👍👍👍i really liked this video

As a kid in the 1960s, I remember using that middle one, the mouse lure and boy, did that thing catch bass!

Very cool to prove the old school stuffs till rocks! Thanks from all the old guys!

Loved the video very cool idea i always wanted to see these old type lures in action thanks for sharing

15:20 the bird call right after you spoke to your Grandfather wasn't any coincidence. He's happy his lures are still catching trophy Smallies

That's one for you grandpa... rest in peace. ♥️

A superlative remembrance of grandpa. I hope to impart my knowledge to my grandkids too. Enjoyed it. Thank you.

Just goes to show a fish will go after just about anything that has some form of movement to it. Pretty impressed

Brother, that is so awesome !! I wish I would have gotten some of my Grandpa's lures, but I was in the ARMY overseas when he left us. Once again, damn awesome video !!!

I have an old tackle box from my Grand dad too. There is a distinct smell to that era. I could smell it when YD open this box in the video. Good Times. Great Memories.

Grand Dad would be proud of those catches!!

nice video. really enjoyed this! grandpa would be proud of ya i'm sure!

8:25 Now THAT is a nice fish!

This brought back asome memories. I inherited a tackle box and some lures from my grandfather, too. One of them was a beaten and battered Swimming Mouse, and a second was a brand new Swimming Mouse. My grandfather fished for fun, but he also fished for food, and he was a nightcrawler and redworm guy most often. We had an endless supply of both only forty yards from our house. A circle twenty-five feet wide along the ring, and with a diameter of about thirty yards where corncob had been spit out of a blower pipe from the grain elevator not far away. Most of those corncobs would pile up in the middle of the circle, and when the pikle was high enough, thoirty feet or so, they would burn it. But many fell outside the burn area, were rained on, and quickly rotted. This kept repeating every harvest season for forty years. The corncorns form a layer of black goo about tghree feet thick, and it was so packed with nightcrawlers and red worms that we could dig a week's worth in a few mionutes. Grandpa even made a good deal of money by selling worms. So there were only eight lures in the tacklebox, with two of them being the Swimming mouse. I caught a LOT of fish with the Swimming mouse before losing both to bass who wanted them more than I did. I eventually lost the other six to snags, but I'm really glad I had the chance to use them.

My grandpa passed 44 years ago. When he new he could no longer take me fishing he called me to his bedside and said to me to have his fishing gear. To this day I have it and it's the fondest memories I have of my grandpa. I miss him😞

Hell yeah. That mouse is bad ass.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. And I instantly subbed. My grandpa didn't fish, he was a tech guy. But I definitely vibe with the heirlooms.

I really like the way you comment your fishing , it’s clear and your not a stressed guy! Also your fishing is the people way of fishing ;) it’s humble and your very respectful for the fish you bring in your net! Congrat my friend you hooked me to your Chanel .

Awesome fishing trip and tribute to your grandpa 👍🏻🎣🐟

Great theme! Great show!

Awesome video man. Loved this one, it being sentimental!

Thank you for showing us inside grandpas tackle box. Nice video.

I love these grandpas lures videos!.I just moved to Virginia from Michigan and caught my first VA catfish on my grandpas old rods that I recently inherited. Great feeling.

Great video that brought back some memories ... good job! I subscribed ...

i love fishing the old lures nice vid. as always

just came from your other blog about your grandpa where you fixed his lure and got the biggest bass ever on that same plug you have here the mouse without a tail‼️®️™️

When you opened up that tackle box it brought back memories of my grandpa taking me out fishing. I'm going to have to bring it up from the basement and use some of his old lures this spring! Thank you for the vid!

HAH! Best fishing video I've ever seen. Thank you.

Awesome man, just awesome.

That was a great to see you respecting your grandpa's tools of the trade. I usually fast-forward through slow videos, but I watched every second of this. I hope these same lures and some of your own make it into the hands of your grandchildren.

This video really brought a smile to my face. Love the way that smallie nailed the River Runt right beside you. Grandpa's and Dad's lures catch fish, maybe even more now that they're not in the face of fish all the time. Pikies are still among my go-to lures for toothies and huge bass.

Any smallie video is a good video! Keep up the good work!

Very cool bro! :-) Could b the start of grandpas equipment challenge. :-)

Very honorable to get your Grandfather's lures back in action. I was able to inherit my Great-Grandfather's hunting rifle (that's over 100 years old) into the woods in 2018 to hunt. The gun was in a closet for 20 years before given to me. I was able to shoot a nice buck first day of the season.

This is beautiful man. God Bless you and your grandfather 🙏🏽

I thought it was amazing. I have several of my grandfather's old lures. His fav was the Creek Chub Plunker. Anyway, just a beautiful river and good fishing.

The smell of an old tackle box brings tears to my eye. They all smell the same. There is no way I would throw my heritage at a mean smally.

I like that your boat has been used enough to have faded. the lures are old too and you are fishing the old time way. In addition you have good modern reels and a quality paddle that shows you know when it is worth paying extra.

That's not a slow day in my books! Great video, really enjoyed it. Great tribute to your grandpa too.

Great video mate. Awesome catching.

That's a good fishing hole.

I'm 59 and was literally JUMPING UP AND DOWN when you showed us the lures you were going to throw today. I KNEW you would do well with all of them and smiled wide when I saw that you had pun BRAND NEW HOOKS on all of them.. YES..!! This is going to be very cool..! You & I both know that your Grand Dad was watching you today. And he wore a wide smile as you caught your fish. I want to thank you for making this video.

love the fact that you took out your grandpa's old lures to get them wet one more time, had to be a special day.
