Because its the weekend and fishing has slowed for me I thought of revving myself and you too. Here is a little clip i made of some fun trolling in the winter/spring fairly close to where we live.
See what you think. I wish you were there. I hope to do this again reel soon. ;)

Epic... Knocking the ice off the pliers! Did you have to shovel the t-top at the end of the day too? Man, you're dedicated! Looks like a good day to sit in front of the fire while nursing a brandy.
Beautiful.
Gary, you shouldn't just put those fish on the deck, you have to ice them down. :D ;D Dominick
I guess its a good way to keep down bacterial growth!

Hi Gary,
What make and model numbers are those reels and rods?
Thanks,
Frank
Frankly,🚶♂️I,m not sure of the exact rod numbers, but I can get them I 🤔, the rods are on the boat 🚣♀️ currently. The Diana m-one mooching reel is one we use a lot, it's paired with a Lamiglass 9 ft, casting rod that was modified by adding a longer fore grip and shortened the butt to a foot to reelseat center.
It's a specialized rod for trolling.
I'll get back with more info soon. Thanks 🙏.
This fish was caught on this setup. Its better to have even longer rods in my experience, The other rod sed on the gunnel during the video is a Okuma xh Celilo 10.5 footer with 6 inches removed from the tip and its got a heavier action. The lamiglass cost about a hundred nowadays butt the Celilo is still under 75 and a pretty good rod as is. I prefer the Moocing style rods for this trolling, a shorter butt, and a longrt foregrip is my thing. I replace the butts generally get a Slickbutt, and its great for getting the rod out of the holder with the fish pulling hard, compared to neoprene. thanks for the interest. keep asking, i.ll reply asap. ;)
This is the bomb , evolution, and change, addapt, tinker. :)

Don't go crazy looking, Gary. I just thought you might know off the top of your head. Nice setups!!!
