you need a light colored top on your boat to reflect that hot sun Mike it would be a lot cooler !

Hey Mike! Finally got my protege and trying to hook up the front livescope. Did you put the black box in the anchor box and where did you drill the hole for all the wires? Thanks in advance for the help!

Be very careful lipping them. I caught one on Zara Spook below Truman dam during a topwater feeding frenzy. Was trying to grab it quick so that I could fish the frenzy again be for they stopped. Lipped it and it shook so hard the the treble hook that hooked the fish was also at that point now in my thumb deep barb not exposed. Didn't know how I was going to get out of that situation to get the fish off and my thumb off the same treble hook, because I did not want to let go of the fish. Split second later it shook again and it ripped it back out my thumb. Was bleeding pretty bad. So I just taped it up and kept fishing. Only good thing about it was the fish was 11 lbs. Also the gill plate will easily cut you bad as well. When they shake it is best to keep a very firm grip and hands away from gill plate also. Great video and keep at it. Some time try an umbrella rig with 6" sassy shads w/ 1/2 - 2/4 oz heads roadrunner heads. My umbrella rig was 4 arm center weighted and each arm was about 9", so an 18" spread. Just keep in mind the only 3 hooks rule in the state regs. At the time I started fishing the rigs the regulation was not in place so I still have today a bunch of the 4 arm rigs. But you could also just use 3 arm instead. On my rigs the center and one arm I use a lighter 1/2 oz jig head with hook clipped off. While the other 3 arms had the 3/4 oz jig heads with hooks. I make the 2 without hooks on a shorter line than the ones with hooks. You could put blades on the non-hook arms in place of actual hookless jigs. This allowed the rig to be weight heavy with the 3 arms with hooks. Allowing them to run at the bottom while the no hook heads ran at top. I was trying to force them to bite the ones with hooks by placing them better for the hybrids to see and bite. It was much easier to do when there was no 3 hook rule many many years ago. I would just troll them over the humps and ledges. I used a Cabela's Depth Master II reel w/ line counter on it so that I can try to keep them the same distance/depth and slow trolling speed once I found what depth they were at. I would troll two rods, one on each side off the back of the boat. Used heavy line 30 lb on reel and lighter on baits from umbrella rig to keep from losing the umbrella rig. It was not uncommon to catch 8 lb+ doing that and multiples on one rig. That is the reason for such heavy line. Might have been overkill but I never lost a rig and it worked for me. It probably could be improved upon.

@LIKE #107!!! 😊😊😊

Excellent job learning a new curve. Some really nice fish too.

Did you fish the tournament?

I love watching your videos, catching different types of fish in each one

Nice fish. I go after the hybrids in winter up at thomas hill. Been going for 10 years or so. Never caught one that big. Congrats

What depth and how deep are you fishing on them down rods

The best

Them jet skies are bad 👎

Hello.. do you have an idea of where I could find a reference chart for depth/wieght/speed?

Good morning Mike. I enjoy your videos. I have just recently discovered them and have been watching all I can. I do have a couple questions for you. Is there just a certain time of year you troll jigs and crank baits ? What is your deciding factor for switching up your methods?

When you make them sandwiches hold one for me!

Thanks Mike. Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot watching. I have a live scope and can’t do what you do. You make it look easy. Might be you have a skill that I’ve not developed yet. I’ve yet to have fish jump in the boat because I have a live scope fish finder. Keep them coming!

Hey Mike love to watch your videos are you using leaders

Absolute bucket list❤

The crappie punt made me laugh.

That’s a bummer. Have to give you a like for this one.

I am new to crappie fishing, love watching your videos

Crappie sandwiches are great! I would like to know where I can find the jig body you were using . I have googled Livin the Dream baits and checked some of the tackle stores but have not found the purple and pink.

I am fishing a pretty deep lake. And running bandit 300 water temp is 88 and air temp 96 but they have quit bitting. What am I doing wrong

How long can you troll around dragging crankbaits before you run out of battery?

Are you eating those with livescope😂😂

Now you've got ME hungry for a crappie sandwich. LOL

I have the wife watching your videos thanks for keeping her interested

Nice keepers 🎣 Enjoyed the show.

Good job 👍

I love your live scope video's

Hybrid

Haters - aka whiners ! 75 years ago when Evinrude made the outboard the rowboaters made a bunch of noise about that being cheating too!!! Hahaha

I know nothing about live scopes. How much do you have to spend to get one that works well. Id like to go cheap but i want something that will help us find fish. Any recommendations?

Great idea pre fishing with 2 boats 🤔

I'm not a hater I love my livescope. Another Mike Baker classic.

Thx Mike!! Appreciate you sharing the video!!

What rod are u guys using in this video

Really appreciate your videos Mike!

Mike what is the jig head you are using for your minnows?

Mike, spotlighting crappie again.

Dynamite will be next to be lawful. Did you forget your skill to catch fish?

Im a hater and wont watch

People don’t necessarily hate it for general fishing, only in ‘fishing’ competitions.

Why are you using a baitcaster for jigging crappie? It seems awkward watching you fish with it. I'm just curious to your reasoning...thanks

What is the rod and reel you are using in this video? Size and brand of line also please. thanks

What length and weight jigs do you use ?

Love the video thanks for reminding us to cover up 75 and wish I had

Good work Mike! I'm always grateful for the excellent instructional content.

Mr. Mike, Love the thumbnail as well as your Livescope videos. Some of the best in the business! Keep up the good work!

What are you calling a steak bed?

I'm the opposite, I love live scope. Hate watch "buttscope" video.
