Hello friends,
We’ll admit it — we’re a little obsessed with fishing. Not just the catching, but the constant tinkering, experimenting, and learning new techniques that make this sport endlessly addictive. Each week, our team finds videos that inspire us, teach us something new, or just flat-out make us want to grab a rod and hit the water.
This week, we’re sharing a few of our favorites. If you enjoy this roundup, let us know — we’d be happy to make it a weekly tradition.
1. Day vs Night Fishing Challenge
Ever wondered if the bite is hotter in the sun or under the stars? This video puts it to the test with a five-hour “day vs night” showdown. Lots of bait swaps, lots of friendly trash talk, and a surprising finish that might change how you plan your next outing.
2. $100 vs $1000 Saltwater Budget Fishing Challenge
Big gear vs budget gear — who comes out on top? This salty challenge pits a $100 setup against a $1000 rig to see what really matters when the fish are biting. If you’ve ever wondered whether price tags equal more fish, this one’s for you.
3. I Fished for Salmon for 7 Days…
A week-long grind on the Columbia River chasing salmon. This video has it all: long hours, river scenery, heartbreaks, and that sweet payoff when persistence pays off. It’s less a “how-to” and more of a full fishing story — the kind that keeps you rooting until the end.
4. Creek Fishing with Worms for Anything That Bites
Sometimes simple is best. Grab some worms, find a creek, and see what happens. This laid-back video is all about the joy of not knowing what’s on the line until it surfaces. Perfect reminder that you don’t always need fancy rigs to have a blast.
5. Night Fishing for Pond MONSTERS
If you like fishing with a side of adrenaline, this one’s for you. After dark, mystery fish lurk, and these anglers are out to find them with heavy-thumping lures. Expect some serious action shots and a couple of “holy cow” moments.
6. SOLO Catch & Cook – New Techniques Tested
Fishing solo, experimenting with two brand-new techniques, and then cooking up the day’s catch — that’s the recipe here. It’s part tutorial, part adventure, and part outdoor cooking show. If you’re into trying new tricks and eating what you catch, you’ll love it.
Tight Lines!
That’s the roundup for this week. Whether you’re chasing salmon, testing new gear, or just tossing worms in a creek, there’s something here to fire you up for your next trip.
