    Beautiful river run, John. Ethan seems like a nice guy. His fishing style is very compatible to yours, kind of laid back, just picking up what you can. I like that in your usual videos. The tournament videos can get intense. Quite a few smallies, but the story of the day was the pike ! The topwater action was explosive ! This one is just the beginning. More good times to follow. Always be safe ! Randy B.

Plenty of public waters to fish with loads of different species to catch. You'll definitely have a great time fishing up here.

    Oh man I know this area so well, I used to fish there all the time when I lived in Michigan. One of my favorite spots. I've caught a 20 inch Smallie, a 36 inch Pike, a 9lb Steelhead and so much more in that river. Also I see you like jerky, if you ever go back, visit Gary's Country Meats in Lowell, they have awesome jerky, snack sticks and smoked sausages, including smoked Andouille sausage that is probably the best ever. Man this was fun watching y'all fish my old stomping grounds.

    Glad you made your destination. Want to try a crazy reservoir on your way home in Barnesville Ohio. You can put your kayak in at the damn. that's one of the few places to get a boat in. no gas motors. EDIT: It's actually between Barnesville and Woodsfield Ohio. It's called slope Creek Reservoir if you want to google map it. It's very deep and pretty damn large for a reservoir. No telling what you catch in there. It's been there since before I can remember. there is some fracking going on the area so they are drawing water out for fracking but they are absolutely not permitted to dump in there. It's drinking water for that entire area. I hooked something I never got to see in that lake one day. Drug our 14 foot heavy john boat all over trying to land it with two 200 lb adult men in it. I had 20 lb test on. It broke me off after about a half hour. I got swirls on top a few times but never got a good look at what the hell it was but it was huge. May have been a big catfish but there are all kinds of fish in there. Lots of perch also.
    Then on the same road state route 800 is Monroe lake and a creek that is right up your alley that come from the overflow of that lake. Called sunfish creek. that creek is small and it is so loaded with fish it is unreal. most of the accessible area is on property though so you have to ask to walk through property to get to it. Miles up that creek I would go up and fish and at noon on a sunny day you can see channel cat just sunning them selves in shallow water that are perfect eating size. that creek is loaded and rarely fished once you get up in there from the mouth of the Ohio river. In the Cameron Ohio area it's incredible. the entire creek is incredible for a small creek.
