    Best outdoors channel on YouTube. Thanks for that video
  • Great information. Thanks for explaining and showing the how to with nets.
  • You are a excellent net builder. I build my anchors I put a ring around the shaft so it can slide up and down and 4 inch piece of round stock on the end so ring can not come off. Real simply just a little tip I done for years works great.
  • Great explanation and teaching video. Thanks for the video

    I'm trying to keep them a uniform size. I just can't figure out how a row of meshes made on the same gage/board/block can have progressively different sizes. It doesn't seem possible. Thanks for trying to help me get this figured put.
  • Love the video! I’ve always wondered how that river compared to the Tom Bigbee. After watching your videos I think they are very similar.

    Guys, lead is expensive. Instead, go get a bag of QUIKCRETE and pour it into molds of 2 litre drink bottles. Use some wire to make a tie-off through the opening. cut the bottle and pull out the 'crete weight and reuse. ITS CHEAP !!! and it works great. If you lose the weight, it dont hurt so bad in the wallet.

    A question if the meshes start out a little off each one progressively larger but the later rows are the same size meshes and I'm going to discard the first couple of rows will it still come out ok in the end? For some reason, the first row keeps ending up slightly off (like being done with my block/card/board at an angle) and I have t figured out how it happens. The first knot is not the same length as the last one in the row and if I line them up they seem to be changing size progressively along the entire row. Should I hold the card at a slight angle to correct the problem?

    Can u give a beginner some advice on 1. very weed filled lakes and 2. rivers that are shallow with big rocks. Im curious if i should not bother with em. 2. The steel head go up there this time of year but I'm unsure what kind of net and if i even can, I'm going to look next week.
