Technically yes, this year they moved the ford fireworks in the harrison township area of lake st clair during the pandemic instead of the detroit river
I agree. Changing the presentation a bit can catch fish where the usual recipe fails to get fish on the bank. I'll give this a try tommorow to see if it works.
This is the Chaos 20 20 Rods in the revolution reel seat, there's three diferent handles it comes with the rod in the package, all are included. I honestly don't like the smallest option, little trigger because the tip of the threads are plastic versus metal on the two other ones, hopefully they can fix that. But there's a bunch of other companies aftermarket wise that you can try as well too not just the handles included chaostackle.com/products/assault-stick-20-20-rods?variant=39978793238602
@@grantd.5438 yeah the smallest one with plastic threads had loosened and kind of broke off, the other two are metal threads and still tight and strong. Prolly not since I mainly just use the larger handle one for small, medium and big lures, seems to be the best!
In your opinion what’s the best bang for your buck drone? I’m concerned with all the problems I’ve heard people having with drones and then struggling with customer service. I’d also like to get one with an arm. Any information would be great. I’ve been watching a lot of your content!
Now I'd say Fifish V6 Expert or Evo, QYSEA has done a lot better sealing off their thruster motors compared to Chasing Innovation, loving my V6 Expert. Any time I'm near the bottom with the V6 Expert, the sand and gravel just isn't getting sucked in the motors as much as the M2. After QYSEA did an update to allow custom controls with the claw, controls are a lot easier for me. Still, can't go wrong with the Chasing M2 though, very precise with the claw with the curved power linear setting ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nApcCRUxKKg.htmlsi=IDe6evn2YCIz85Zf&t=145, and I do like having multiple batteries. I have yet to mess with the controls on the V6 Expert to do a similar curve linear setting to make the claw more precise. They're both great underwater drones, but if I had a choice probably go with the EVO as of now for best bang for the buck with a claw. Still love Chasing Innovation though and love my Chasing M2, looking forward to getting out with "both" once I install Garmin Livescope and Humminbird Mega360 on my boat for treasure hunting and musky fishing!
You can't go wrong with a v-evo , mine is running fine more then a year now , only one outtime as I was cleaning my cable spool with water and killed it that way (yes it really isn't waterproof and there's tech inside😅) but the shop where I got it managed to repair it in less then 2 hours after it arrived at his location and he even sended it back the same day to me 👌 nothing wrong with it since then
I have the fifish v6 expert m200 model, and I have led lights that's not working at all. I need a video on how to reassemble the fifish v6 expert and how to put it back all together, but on how to replace the led lights on the fifish v6 expert.
@@user-vy5qx1xq5b That sucks, do you use it in saltwater, sometimes the corrosive salt eats away at the rubber gaskets, then water gets in. Shouldn't be too hard taking the V6 Expert and putting it back together, be sure to ask on forum underwaterdroneforum.com, the facebook group facebook.com/groups/fifishunderwaterdrones/, or even support through QYSEA www.qysea.com/support/ When I get a chance, I'll see if I can find a take-apart video on youtube, sometimes you have to use particular keywords and the filter to help find you certain videos. But sometimes its good to record where each part goes and take photos as you take an electronic apart, then it's easier to put back together. I've taken apart the Chasing M2 a little, as well as the Geneinno T1, the T1 was just a huge pain, so many screws and cheap styrofoam inside, I had sucked up some rope from a pole at the marina... Luckily Chasing M2 and Fifish V6 Expert are a lot easier to work on.
It's a good sign, still getting younger musky like this, I know you been doing well too! Always a good sign!!! Love me some musky, no matter what size, if the monsters ain't biting with big rubber, I'll settle for a smaller adrenaline rush in the meantime. I was casting a lot of big rubber this day, but didn't get much...

@@EternalAngler yeah I'm well aware of the statistics. I've gotten tested and I'm about average level for my age. Because I was looking into trt. But just working out and eating healthy whole foods has boosted my levels naturally.
2:42 Pike and Musky seem to respond real well to short jerks with Strike King 8.0, shows how important it is to do this, especially if you're 15-20 feet from the boat. I do a combination of stop and go retrieve when reeling, as well as short jerks with rod tip as if it's a jerkbait with the 8.0, quite deadly. Totally unconventional to do this with a squarebill crankbait, but then again, we ain't fishing for bass, we're fishing or pike and musky! Love those new Chaos 20/20 rods, I had ripped a lot of big rubber that day too, but the musky seemed to be more hitting on the Strike King 8.0!
Sweet video dude! You’re going to love Livescope. You’ll learn that Randy is wrong once you fish with it. You’ll be surprised how many fish you can’t make bite but it definitely helps answer questions.
Appreciate the feedback! Yeah, I mean it's interesting to see some anglers that really appreciate livescope, others saying it undermines the skill of fishing completely. Then I think, well if older anglers are no longer winning tournaments and the new anglers that are more tech savy are starting to win tournaments there's obviously a sort of paradigm shift happening, the end result is there's going to probably be some animosity there. Similar to how I heard pro tournament fishermen don't like the RU-vid things because the Googans were getting more recognition than them and sponsors, again paradigm shift. Kind of reminds me of when moneyball changed the game of baseball or even when steroids changed game baseball... There's always new things that come along and change a sport, some will like it others will hate it. RU-vid definitely changed sport of fishing too, just a love and hate relationship with anglers out there. I mean I get some of his points Randy made, how amateurs and college fishermen won't be at the same playing field as other college fishermen that have rich parents or money in general. But in a way, that's always been the case with fishermen being able to afford a faster motor, better bigger newer boat, more premium fishing reels and lures... I've finally be able to upgrade my rods and reels musky fishing, using the more premium baits, that's obviously made a difference with catching a 53" spotted musky and 47" tiger last year. In a way having more money and better technology always kind of gave you an edge and just made you a better angler, it just is what it is... I mean not always, some are so skilled at fishing they just always beat out others, but that may be changing, as we progress with technology, those that are skilled in technology may become the top fishermen, this may be the inevitable outcome with technology... I don't tournament fish so, I primarily fish for musky that are super hard to catch as is, fish of 10,000 casts, livescope and mega 360 will benefit my underwater drones too, so for me it's basically a win win, as far as I know... I mean if there comes a point where I don't like looking down at my livescope screen all day, I'll ditch it and sell it on ebay and just keep the mega 360, kind of why I bought both, but the dude at Michigan Marine gear said both compliment one another anyways, they work good together, one does one thing the other can't do, I've seen many youtube videos mentioning this. Technology in general is kind of got the world flipped upside down, whether it's politics or forward facing sonar, lol, as Doug Wagner just put out a video about it, saying it's more controversial than politics, hahahaha. Technology is changing a lot things, the gear heads fucking hate the new electric dodge charger coming out, dodge ending the hellcat lineup is making it even worse, yet if you look these lithium batteries are going to be a game changer for fishing and trolling motors, it's a big plus for us fishermen. Lot of people are flipping out on things, just luddite shit going on everywhere, I mean I get it to a point, there's times where I just gotta step away from social media, put my cell phone down for a few hours. However, some bitch more about livescope and youtube blowing up fishing spots so much, it's just fucking toxic! I've read numerous subscribers on Randy's channel saying to now "ban tournament" fishing. And that's how it ends up, get a bunch of people together, start agreeing on one thing, seeing from one side of things, they start wanting to ban everything, just a complete free for all of stupidity, no middle ground and two way thinking going on. I had to distance myself away from some of these anglers that constantly bitch about these topics. I mean for awhile there, every other video Randy was putting out was him bitching about Forward Facing Sonar 🤣, I definitely see similarities with the anglers that bitch about the youtube thing nonstop. Big paradigm shift happening... Might happen again soon, once GTA 6 comes out or some fishing game that's open world with virtual reality, if they can replicate how a musky followsup your bait and strikes it on figure 8, with nonstop jumping action, anglers will be in a nonstop endorphin heaven and not want to go back to the real thing. To me, if youngsters are actually using technology like gopros and livescope in the great outdoors and not sitting on their ass playing videos games like from movie Wall-E, I'm all for it.
@@EternalAngler get comfortable with using perspective mode on your live scope also. I’m not sure what mount you bought but ONE OBJECTIVE makes a great mount for quick transitions of the transducer so u can swap modes. I caught 2 musky this year using live scope and it was cool. I’m an old school angler never been much of a video gamer either but incorporating livescope has made fishing even more fun for me. I think what we are seeing in pro bass fishing is a shift. These young guys coming up have been fishing their entire lives learning the art of it. They’re just faster learners with electronics and the old school dude will, and already getting left in the dust. We should really hook up and cast for some skis this summer 🤘🏼
I have been using the 8.0 for largemouth bass. I get lots of strikes and hook ups, but, when the bass goes to jump or head shake, they throw the 8.0. I am going to try those BKK hooks.
Those bkk hooks are night and day man, big difference for hook sets and even just keeping the bass and musky on. I'm still gonna buy some of those discontinued megabass grenade squarebills, I bought a bunch of 6th sense magnums, but the strike King 8.0 still hits the hardest... and whats nice about the bkk hooks doesn't seem to take any vibration away from the wide wobble, even though I'm casting a lot more bigger rubber like bulldawgs and 12" chaos posseidon swimbaits, I still cast the 8.0 equally as much though. I'd like to see Strike King or maybe someone with a 3d printer copy it and blow it up in size a little to target the 50 inch musky, now that would be interesting, tight lines!
@@af4od02 I go with the SPEAR 21-SS 1/0 Tournament Grade Qty 5 hooks, super slide. They're just slightly bigger than the stock mustads I think, I have the 2/0 too, but I prefer the 1/0 size, similar in weight, that way it doesn't throw off the action or vibration, very superstitious about that, it's kind of like the megabass jerkbait, things do have to be balanced right to get the fullest and most precise action out of your hard bait. They're not only sharper and have a super slide coating, but they also forged so they're less likely to bend or break, I've had many hooks bend and break when musky fishing ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T7XIaA4jgNc.htmlsi=0DrpH6IHGE4V9F1x
And be sure to check out Bassbruiser71, he's got a lot of great videos on using these magnum squarebills on really big bass, like the 6th Sense Magnum, Strike King 8.0, and Megabass Grenade. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vwdRiFwLsb8.htmlsi=sdrz1Rc0bBzfDzdv ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BodspxoU_-U.htmlsi=GijQKRi-OucrM6Vz ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zww-UH5ZRjE.htmlsi=FiF7VoV6wtGQPKj1
I came for treasure but I was blown away by the fish...especially the massive schools of Smallies. Really impressive footage, Eric. I hope you like your boat upgrades. I'd like to have FFS for a little while ONLY to see how my lures react to how I manipulate the rod and reel. I think it would be a great learning tool. But in the long run, one of the things I love most about fishing is the SURPRISE and the UNKNOWN of that fish hitting your lure. I wouldn't want FFS forever. Great video.
"one of the things I love most about fishing is the SURPRISE and the UNKNOWN of that fish hitting your lure. I wouldn't want FFS forever." For bass I get that, especially for tournaments, but for musky... If FFS going to increase my odds tremendously of catching fish of 10,000 casts, especially targeting them on topwater, which can be loads of fun, I'm all in... However, I have yet to use it yet, so I may or may not like looking down at my screen all day. Either way, if I don't like Livescope, I can ditch it and sell it on ebay, then just keep mega 360, really why I bought both too anways. I mean the dude at Michigan Marine gear, along with a few other youtube videos have said both Mega 360 and Livescope can complement one another. I bought LVS62 that can see 500 feet out, "62 okay, so that's a 62 seiz further and built for saltwater I believe, right so you can see Fish and your bait at the longest cast possible correct." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i0DSy-qQCzE.htmlsi=5T8jGAnr8fCYIPkI&t=397 Gotta remember too as I mentioned, both livescope and mega 360 will also be good for my underwater drones for treasure and tracking down fish too. Just win win situation so for me... However, if I run into a few snags or see things I don't like, without a doubt I'll be mentioning them on here! It's just like the Daiwa ProRex, loved the reel at first, ended up ditching it after the button kept engaging then the conquest mds came out... I hated my camcorder sony ax53 at first, started playing around with it a lot more, then realized I liked it... Sometimes you have to try things out yourself, see if they fit your needs. Since I majority musky fish and use my underwater drones, I think the livescope and mega 360 will probably fit my needs a lot more than standard bass fisherman! One things for sure, this technology is super addicting, it's getting even more addictive... Scary when GTA 6 gets released, even scarier when they perfect an open world fishing game like Call of the Wild: The Angler... If they perfect a musky video game that's open world, perfect it with virtual reality, perfect the followup musky strikes and figure 8, the musky jumps, mark my words it's all over... You'll be in an endorphin addiction heaven you'll be never be able to get off... People are already addicting to the constant scrolling on FB, instagram, and TikTok... Just be sure to do the RU-vid thing in moderation, family and friends come first, it's easy to go head over heals and becomes consumed by the youtube fishing things with sponsors, adsense earnings, merch... Gotta find time for outside priorities... We're definitely in unknown territory with this technology!
Was referring to the Daiwa TW, those do have a "stainless steel Pinion Gear" and are heavier duty for saltwater compared to the standard ProRexs. Only reason I didn't get that version is because they didn't have a 400 in left hand in the 42.9" per crank. But hey c'est la vie, I love my Shimano conquest md 400, what a beast and no problems, landed a 53 1/2" spotted and 47" tiger musky on my conquest md last year, live and learn! daiwa.us/products/lexa-tws "The reels feature a stainless steel Pinion Gear with a high grade brass gear, aluminum frame and side plate, and a swept Power handle with a custom EVA ..."
@@EternalAngler I’m interested in how this new model performs. Brass on brass or aluminium on brass are solid and tested combinations. A stainless steel pinion can crumble a brass main gear, producing more harm than good. Thanks to bring this new model to my attention, I would like to know what kind of steel they used (lc200n? H1?), hoping they have opted for a “soft” and truly stainless one.
@@i.a.c.o. "Brass on brass or aluminium on brass are solid and tested combinations." Not if the button is engaging, the Daiwa ProRex's biggest problem is button engaging, I'm not an engineer, but I suspect that's what messed up the gears and soon as the button engaged a few too many times, rounded out those gears and it no longer worked right after that 8 or 9th time the button engaged on me. I had a few spinning reels with the bail closing with flick of the wrist, like the Penn Squadron and the Quantum Boca, soon as I went to Shimano Stradic, didn't happen not once. I never had a button engage on the Shimano Tranx or Shimano Conquest MD either... Japanese have their engineering down with the Shimanos, just like they do with the megabass 110 series, as Randy says nothing comes close to the engineering to the Megabass ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0Tby6-MWMJ0.htmlsi=Gw32OQg5fqIfe5bT&t=199, same could be said for Shimano reels, you get what you pay for... Daiwa needs a lot work, but I have heard from saltwater fishermen, some do claim the saltwater daiwa reels top some of the shimanos in some area, according to them when I posted a review of this daiwa setup for snook and rapala xrap glass ghost ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_G2Pp6YIcOU.htmlsi=zfD9imMTn-KzpYyh
@@EternalAngler I’m not a Daiwa fanboy, last Daiwa baitcaster I bought was TD Pluton ~ 10 years ago (great reel tbh). We are saying the same thing. If the thumb bar fails I don't think having the steel pinion makes any difference, it might even be counterproductive.
Same exact problem broke mince twice. As I cast, the clutch engages and eats the clutch quite quickly overtime. First repair was done under warranty without questions asked. Then I forced myself to cast with the thumb bar down and with the power handle pointing the rod tip and it still would engage once in a while. I am now very disapointed and hoping to get this issue resolved as it is a pretty expensive reel that won't even perform well nor last in it''s designed category. The only thing they would have to change is the clutc spring and use hardened steel for the clutch barrel. If you are saying you have a no issues with the lexa 400 I might just go towards shimano because this reel is soooo bad. Thanks for your input by the way, I feel that i'm not alone with this issue. Also for casting big lures on a spinning reel, I just use my 4 fingers and never had any pain from the line pushing into them. Cheers from quebec, canada.
I sold all my shimano tranxs and daiwa prorexs, bought 3 shimano conquest mds and haven't looked back, difference is night and day, the MD isn't cheap, but worth it for the quality and resilience. Might buy a couple more after I get livescope and mega 360 installed, but gotta get my electronics installed on my boat first!
For sure man, appreciate you watching and feedback, I definitely enjoy hearing from others they enjoyed the vid, I got some family up in Goodells Michigan and other rural places in Michigan too that don't like crowds, but love the cars, they're always missing out! This was the first time I went to Autorama, I usually just go to the detroit auto show and various outside cruises and outside car shows like Woodward Dream Cruise, Harper Cruise and Van Dyke Cruise, Autorama was definitely an incredible experience, loved the different neon muscle car signs, plan on getting a few hellcat ones for the man cave!
Again standard beetle spin wire is weak, after 20 or so catches, the wire becomes weak, I've lost big bass because of wire breaking so I upgraded to thicker wire. Also standard colorado blade on beetle spin is small and not much vibration, so I upgraded to bigger Hildebrandt willow blade. However I did buy a bunch of booyah sponnerbaits at bass pro recently equipped with big #6 willow blades. Spinnerbaits are good, but if you've ever used a beetle spin before you know how much bass it catches, its also unique in the fact that the jig head can be changed out for different sizes and depths which a standard spinnerbait can't do, also the split tail grub is unique and different than a standard skirt!! The wire also collapses when casting so blade is less like to catch wind, it also trickles down differently in water column before hits the bottom, it also moves in water differently than standard spinnerbait for that reason too. Overall the beetle spin has a lot of differences to a standard spinnebait, making it unique and having its own lane for spinnerbait fishing. If you haven't tried it yet, give it a try, but I do prefer the betts spin now to the traditional Johnson beetle spin, the split tail grub is bigger and thicker!
Hey I’ve never fished lake saint clair, are you at the metro park? Because I’d love some suggestions on where I could fish on docks or shorelines because I’m boat-less lol
Yeah Metro park 16 mile, can't go wrong fishing of the two piers targetting smallmouth with tubes, jerkbait, squarebill or chatterbait. If you're going for largemouth, along the canal sea wall or back in the black creek bay with spinnerbaits, chatterbaits or shallow jerkbaits ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CAZcE1OGQNM.htmlsi=lj5da8zW9mXeWdHP Getting yourself a kayak can go a long way too or plastic pontoon pelican bass raider with trolling motor, pretty affordable! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X689QEVsXRc.htmlsi=3LH_gNCtiD0zyOFa
Wait hold on Ar 🤣 Yeah I bought some 110+1s from Bass Pro Shops in Auburn Hills, but I had also bought some 110+1s and S Crank 2.0s online from tackletech.com, and also 110+2s from basspro.com website. The Bass Pros have quick shipping, a lot quicker than Tackle Tech. I think I a bought from Tackle Tech because I wanted a specific color in the S Crank and they had my favorite colors and S Crank colors in stock at Tackle Tech, so I went with them. I highly recommend buying from a quality fishing shop dealer, because I think you're rolling the dice on eBay, after getting bootleg power pro braided line off there, I'm careful what I buy off ebay now even though they can have some deals on megabass jerkbaits off ebay, they may be counterfeit, you never know... The sellers off Amazon are price gouging, some are priced at $25, but some are at $30 for whatever reason... It's too bad no brick mortar store locally carries the 110+2s, that's honestly the preferred size I like for casting off the boat in somewhat deeper water. The 110+1 is better for the shoreline, especially Metro Park of the piers, it's perfect!
They seem to be following the jerkbait up all the way to the boat, so make sure you don't pull out your lure too soon, work your jerkbait all the way to the boat!
I can attest to this. I WATCHED one hit mine right next to me last week. I had to wait and leave it in the water an extra couple seconds until he took it.
Nice, yeah the bite was decent! I was getting them over at metro off my boat, but wanted to try some new spots down near Selfridge, but didn't get much down there. Keep at it!
