They FINALLY OPENED The Gates At This MASSIVE SPILLWAY!!! (Fish Went Crazy) 

That’s me hey there

That dam is a view getter. The structure itself is so impressive I click right as I see the thumbnail.

Use braided main line and tie about a 12 foot mono leader on the end. It will help with the break offs on the rocks and whatnot

Best channel on RU-vid. Love the consistency

If you want to fish a lure in heavy current you have two options. Heavier weight on the lures like a small swim bait and jig head. Or, reel faster to keep up with the current and keep your bait moving forward through it and not getting all washed around. You can also rig up a tandem jig head rig and that will have a similar effect of using a heavier weight, but also presents the distinct possibility of hooking 2 at once, so you’ll definitely need to bump it up to 14-16lb test line on the spin pole for that application.

Bruh, that was the coolest when you shook little buddy hand while fighting a fish...... too cool! That why I watch your channel!

The stache stick looks like it holds up pretty good under big fish.

I think straight mono is still one of the best ways to go for bigger fish. Super under-rated!

Never skip a video at this spot. Seems like always great fishing here

Hi love to see you go fishing and always makes me happy keep it up man

Well I have to say you are a personable man to all the folks you meet Josh!

Josh a little tip you may not have tried before for your thumb on days like this get hold of a push bike inner tube cut a slice the size of your thumb stick a couple in your hook box and thank me later ! 😊

I use braid with a mono leader and it seems like a perfect combination to me 😁

Braid for everything. Yes it's true braid can cut a little easier that way but I haven't had huge issues I always use floro leader helps with teeth and visibility etc.. I use suffix 832 which has a good abrasion resistance.

Man I'm all about the smaller swimbaits,but a kastmaster with a single bet be super deadly there,one of my top 5 lures,for all kinds fish

Multistache it! Glad you stroked'em!

I use braid, then a flouro leader. But for me no wipers or flatties to consider, and I almost 100% lure fish. Plus I'm lazy and like the combination for my area. I hate the stretch of straight mono, can't go back man. Great video bud.

Excellent job bud always fun to watch someday hopefully I will meet you . Can you please take a picture of the package that the baby whale comes in. I want to make sure that I get the right ones

Congratulations on a Couple great days

Thanks for the video Josh ! You’re out there banging ‘em like an old screen door on a hot summer day. Nice job !

Suffix 832 braid attached to a piece of 14 lb floral carbon with a triple surgeons loop!

As many videos as you have here in Flathead always being your number one goal I don't remember you ever catching one here... Yet.

Legendary spot

I don’t know how you stand there in water with shoes on, that’d drive me nuts 🤣

Congrats to mike.....and the mystical stashtastical.You came a long way and even tho idk how long I've been on team strikeforce stash but it's been quite awhile and ur content has just gotten better and better over time.who woulda ever thought u would have ur own signature rods? So what's the next goal? U gonna possibly get a boat or maybe even join a league like ol Benji did?

Great video. Keep up the great content. I haven't caught any wipers this year

When I fish down there for whippers I usually do a slow retrieve with some jerks in the places where there isn’t water flowing in and they usually smash it.

I’m from the northeast, I have never seen a place like this before.. so cool 😎

Great day at the Spill N Way!!!! Nice looking fish Josh....Nice episode !!!!

I’d never leave there😂. Thx, man!

Any opportunities in the impoundment above? Sure is a good gig where you’re at and I know how you like the spillway gig.

I'm super excited for the gopro vid at this spillway. I'll be buying some merchandise regardless of a rod giveaway.

I either use straight flourocarbon or braid with flouro leader 🔥

I got hooked on "Fire Line" after over casting to a piece of angle iron. Pulled like hell and got the lure back with a bent hook. Saved many a lure since and caught pike with no leader. Loving on your fish channel.

Another job well done Stash-stain!! Congratulations to the winner of the Stash stick!! Tight lines boys and girls!! Hi Booberto!!😂

Everyone is usually friendly and helps out there.

You're so awesome Josh.... giving bait away like you're oprah😂❤😂

I run 40 braid to a 10 or 12 floro leader... on 7'2 MH .. I've always wondered why you like going so light..

Love the video. Bigger chunks, bigger cats. I want to see you put a huge chunk on and see you pull in a true monster! 😊

Keep being you brother. Thanks again 👍

Insane how loaded this place is. What a blast!

Great Video as always bud!! Hope you do get to make a Catfish video there though.. It could be epic

I live in Nebraska by Lincoln and so far me and my brother have caught a 32lb and a 30lb flathead while it was flooded

Awesome video, brother!

Digging your bourbon collection brotha! I also am a big time bourbon collector/drinker!

Thanks for the video stash ass🎉 I like suffix 832 with a fluorocarbon leader❤

I have only fished there once I guess I should make plans for next year great video

Looks like s great fishing hole. 👍

Bet a magdraft would slay them there

It will be fun to see what you get with that drum! I’ve had great luck in that spillway with cut drum. Both wipers and channels

I remember when you only had 30k subscribers I been here a long time

regular shoes in that water is WILD!

Have you ever seen anyone fly fishing with streamers down there Josh? I'd imagine a nice sized stream would get some good sized wipers or white bass. That wpild be fun.

Fun video. Nice that you shared a blue gill with bud!

Love that sopot

Stache Man is a bit of a bourbon nerd? You got a couple sneaky bottles there brother. Good deal!

Nice Double, fish catching video !!!!!

😢I got my fingers and had Tore up. Whaaa! Lol! Nice job Josh! I'm like'n it dude 👍

I use braid and a fluoro leader for toothy saltwater fish, if they can see the leader they will bite it.

Just order bunch of baby whales an stache heads i call those finesse jigs stache heads lol keep it up the wipey diapies are my favorite to fish for

Congrats Mike

I use braid and fluerocarbon. Braid for my heavy bait rods, fluero with my lure rods. Gives the stretch thatll sae your lures with the more energetic fish.

Every spillway I want to fish in my state is ridiculously HIGH!!! Consider yourself lucky!

Awesome! Was not the same action for us as we stopped through on way to Colorado but was still cool. Love it bro.

I would live on that pick nick table in a tent till green jeans made me leave if I had a place like that 😂 the wife would probably have long filed a missing person report 😂😅

Is that a scrunchie/hair tie on your wrist? The mullet getting that long? 😂 Great vid.. thats a cool place!

Love the videos and in the south it’s “slicker than owl sh-t”. Keep it up

Your good people josh! Wish more people were the same!

Awesome video man 🔥🔥🔥🎣🎣🎣

I use Berkeley fire line on all my reels. Best line in my opinion!

Yeah! Dam fun times. Thanks, Josh.

Maxima camelon for main line ,use it for shore fishing walleye and salmon in M.I . Use pline for leader

Was just wondering about this big spillenway.

You would like fishing Kirr Damn on the VA NC border. Its a hydro electric damn and they pump some water out. Makes hooking a 20-30 pound blue a hell of a fight and we have stripers and walleye. I just use 1/4-3/4 ounce gottcha jigheads and a zoom superfluke.

Straight braid, except my panfish rods, that'll be mono. Several people tell me straight braid that I won't get that many bites, but that's a load of crap, I'll go up against you in a battle. You use braid with mono leader, & I'll use straight braid, & we'll see.

The tense up thing in the fish is basically a muscle cramp from exhaustion. its more common in wipers than WB.

Nice fishing

Hey You 'Ol Slap Nuts!! Where Is This Dam??? For Us Less Fortinet Folks To Try On A Road Trip!!! Ah What Aboot?? P.S. You Should Have Given The Kid An Autographed ROD! LOL Love Your Channel Brother!!

Suffix advanced...try it man...sh!!t is underated and has awesome stretch..8lb should be fine...low diameter too

Love it!

Hell yeah helping out other fishermen nice baby whale

Killer job, brother!!

Excellent

Thanks for another video Stache-imus Prime! If ya wanna try some mono and are used to braid, try some Vicious. We use the 12 lb and can boat flip 3-5 skips on a pontoon. I'll gladly pay $5 a spool at the Walymart.

Hell yeah

Gr8 video Josh

This is one of my favorite fishing channels.. I think you should try a few catfish paylakes for new content.. Maybe Catfisherman's Paradise in Camden Ohio ? I need someone to help net 50-100 lbers.

Bro, I got on a wiper/striper bite last summer, it was the first time I had ever consistently caught them and it was a blast. Everything just came together. I was in the laurel lake tailwaters in KY where it dumps into the cumberland river. I went upstream in kayak looking for smallies and we had some crazy storms earlier that day. All the sudden they started cranking water, it was cold water and the fog was so thick off the water it blocked the sun. I was throwing a little jig behind current breaks up by where the water dropped down a big waterfall from the dam which was way uphill. I just got hammered, bout ripped the rod outta my hand and it was a huge fat wiper. Then i caught like 3 striper.... they were longer and thinner, more aerodynamic shaped. Then i caught another big wiper, and i mean for rest of the day I just had some of the most fun fishing ive ever had. Now I want to make the trip again, it's like a 3 hour trip, but I have to plan it around a time I know they will be pumping water.

Time for some big flathead content now sir!

Bro your videos always amaze me with the fish you catch ! Stay safe !

Josh I fish some similar water current wise and after witnessing a couple real bad deals I've gone to wearing a pull to inflate vest, I don't even realize it's there but if I ever needed it I'm glad it's there, Booberto and the mini stasche need ya around bro. Our lives change with addition fam units

I personally use heavier braid main line and use a 10’-12’ mono/flouro leader line. Blood knot to splice the two. And the heavier the braid you use, the better it will match the size of your leader line and the less likely it is going to be able to cut into your leader line inside the knot, and create a bad day.

Looks like you got a hit..yeeyee.abd people are there because you post lol.awesome brother

@PigPatrolTV try a size 11 rapala x-rap in ghost or blue and white using a constant ripping and reeling action. The wipers can't stand it

Don’t know if they sell them in your area but you can definitely order them there called matrix shad they have large ones and smaller ones like the ones you use and they are durable as hell I could catch a limit of trout on one lure. They work really good

Stache master that is one of my favorite places to fish I haven't been there in years. I'm going to the triple spillway in Kans ass to fish it for the first time . Stache nuggets

Definitely a braid n leader fan,the action it gives lures is crazy n I like the hook set

I would like to try and hook one of those wipers on a fly rod with a deep lure

Mike Weatherly oh my he's an actor . I went school with becareful😮

I run braid with 6 feet fluro cause rocks and stuff. Cut braid like butter along with toothy critters..
