Absolutely love the variety of content that MeatEater is putting out

Rarely watch fishing content. But Jay is the shit!

My dad started me on fly fishing and tying flies when I was about eight. Catching a fish on something that you made yourself is a different kind of joy.

You guys are striking gold. I love making my own plastic and lead but amazed about how few people know about shooting plastic lures. Meateater has all our backs and I can’t thank them enough. Watching my kids catch crappie on my hand made road runners is incredibly fulfilling!

I love that Jay uses his teeth to clip line. That's realism right there!

I want to see Aaron join Jay on a MeatEater special 39hours vs. Steve and another legend vs. Cal with another legend. Don’t let that statement detract from how great Jay’s videos are.

I initially bounced off this series for some reason, but glad I came back to it. Loving the series even though I'm the world's fourth most reluctant fisherman.

Gold eyes are about to start running on the Winnipeg river. Smoked gold eye is the absolute best thing in any of our waters. Literally amazing. Two foot plung bonnet with like a #2 snell and a chunk of a crawler. It’s a blast, great for kids and when your on them you bang em

Awesome video jay! So pumped you partnered up with meat eater!

Jay’s Jigs!

Living the dream

Great video! Jay is putting out some of my favorite content on the channel!

Jay working with meat eater now ! Awesome

You are so fortunate to have quality waters to fish. We hav lots of lakes here in Michigan that sportsmen dollars pay to stock. Soon as the fish are legal size the tribe comes with their nets and clean out the lake. That’s a fact.

I’ve been DYING to get into this! Thanks for the video! The channel is killing it!

Gotta love the full-circle serendipity, this is a genuine craftsman here

This is hands down the best fishing video I have ever seen. Making your own lures, cooking fish that you caught, and fishing on a boat. What more could you ask for in a video. I think you guys are going to turn a lot of people on to making their own lures.

I've dabbled in the art of making soft plastic lures a bit. Its definitely a skill worth knowing for the serious fisherman. I would suggest starting with open pour molds, since its simpler and cheaper to get into. The only tools you need are a cheap microwave to melt the plastic, an old glass measuring cup, something to stir with, and the molds. No need for any of the injector stuff. The downside is you have to pour each lure individually and it is harder to get multicolor lures to laminate properly. If you get the injector stuff, you need more tools and are more limited in what patterns are possible, but its easier to use. I haven't made any lures in a year or so because of financial pressure. I want to get an injection setup for the increased production, but I can't afford it right now.

Jay is the perfect fishing buddy. Very creative friendly and social.

The luremaking segment was super interesting.

really enjoy this show. Jay needs his own meateater podcast.

Great job Jay! Love the drone shots and all the amazing golden hour shots after diner! Love it!

Great video.. Inga never beat a fish you caught then 30 minutes later in your cooking it's the best. 🎣🎣🎣

Love these videos so much. A lesson, some explanation and success. You are awesome Jay! I used to fish a small lake as a little kid- I loved it. Thanks for taking us along on your passion ride for fishing! 🐟🐟 🥾🥾😎

What a treat this was. Reminds me of when I was a kid. Thanks a million for sharing.

Meateater hasn't had a bad series yet. I absolutely love them all. I started out with Steve and meateater original on danger tv.. and watched it grow. All these shows are nothing without the hosts. Steve, Janis, Ryan, Mark, Jay, Joe. And any others I may have forgotten. To all of you. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. When is Joe coming back. Love his humor and knowledge. Wouldn't mind seeing Joe have a show with Eric from Hooked Up.

You are the man.

MAN! You are livin' the DREAM!

As always another great meat eater video, love the mix up

Went to boundary waters in june on the Minnesota side, they told us to use leeches and slip bobers. Didnt have much luck. Spinners and spoons worked well even with walleye

Jay is awesome! Get him back on the podcast and maybe even on for some trivia!

Another reel good one Jay, keep slammin em!

Awesome! Really love it

Best Canadian Angle episode yet.

What an awesome episode!

Nice to see Jay team up with Steve, 48 hour alumni

Great job. I’d like to try it.

Awesome stuff!!

Love, Love Love the boat !

Awesome show

Great episode Jay walleye are so fun to catch. Biggest for me is over 8lb.

He is an inspiration for me

I love the fishing content on the channel guys, keep it up

So good Jay...u make it look so easy 😀

Awesome video!!!!!

Such an awesome video. I would love to see a collab w/ Marling Baits. That would be epic!

Great video, bud. 👍

This is sick content. I had no idea how fish jigs were made and now I want to make them! Great job boys

Great episode, Jay. Now I'm craving some walleye. D:

Thats is so awesome, gonna look into those swimbaits! Great job man!

This has me wanting to make lures again.

Nice vid!

Love this content

Great video. We make a lot of our own swim baits and love seeing you using white.

Love the content @meateater jay is a master!

So dope thanks

Cool vid buddy. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

perfect timing im off for a week of fishing !

They need to start back up the Bent podcast. I miss that show.

Great content!

this is a hobby i didn't know i needed

the king of master baiters!

Love it

I'd buy some Jays jigs !!!!

just started making my own chatterbaits, with store bought trailers. gotta start somewehere. maybe next year i start pouring my own plastic. but i love throwing the chatterbaits I made because its gonna be more special to catch one.

This is where I dream to end up in life

Love fishing in Ontario

Jay’s jigs baby!

Nice I’m your biggest fan

Marling Baits would like to have a word…

Dear Jay: Please come organize my garage, basement, boat, fishing and hunting equipment. Sincerely, Mike in Wisco

Da Canadian Jay woot woot

Nothing beats fishing, except maybe hunting.

"I just heard the 350°F oven ding." *Reaches in and grabs hook bare handed....

buddy you need to check out epic bait molds some huge ones good for pike and musky seriously have a look

Happy Canada Day Jay! 🇨🇦 Keep the quality content coming. Watching and enjoying from my place here on Taylor Bay, Lake of the Woods.

If you’re looking for lead, get ahold of your local service plumber. You might need to take a hammer to their cast iron scrap pile with safety glasses but a lot of lead can be salvaged out of old hub and spigot fittings.

I like that shirt I want a black meateater hoodie

🔥

Terrific show. Where did you find the bump board and gas stove.

Great episode! One more safety item for lead work is shoes. Don't do this in sandals or barefoot.

Loving the flag on your left sleeve!🇺🇸🇺🇸

I wonder why more people in Erie don't use more swimbaits. we use mostly deep divers some people use crawler harnesses like the Erie Deary some spoons as well. but here on the northeast Ohio section of Erie hardly anyone tries this technique.

Nice jays on meat eater...... where's Steve?

I worked in a pead refinery for years, so I was able to get 50kg pigs anytime I wanted. I have enough for a lifetime

Franks: He puts that shit on everything.

Does the baking at 350 for 20 minutes affect the condition of the hook material? I feel like it could change the structure of the metal from the factory; like hardness or temper?

Jay, what are your thoughts on dry aged fish? Saw a youtube video on it once, seems interesting!

This may be a dumb question....but are you on the English river and if so are you on Abraham....it just looked exact to where I fished for 15 yrs

What happened to the mullet?

oh.. my wife is gonna kill me.. lol

I cannot recommend “Marling Baits” YT channel highly enough for anyone who enjoyed this videos topic.

What style of costa are those

So you don’t heat your molds up before putting lead in them?

🇧🇷👍

Does jay have his own KZfaq or anything?

Crazy glue? I only know Manny glue

Life

If you want to see amazing bait making go watch some worlds worst fishing he does amazing soft plastics or Marling baits he does a lot of crazy wood hard baits but does some plastics too.

Bake at 350° i coulda swore he said lead melts at 350? Kinda dancin on that fine line ay?
