Decided to bust out my Pen Rod Goliath paired with the Front Drag Reel and head to Lake Washington. I knew that the Lake Chubs and Northern Pikeminnow were biting so I decided to make my first Pen Rod Video of the year. The weather today was cold and windy unlike the warm calm day that we had in Washington Yesterday. I caught over 50 fish consisting mainly of Lake Chub and Northern Pikeminnow. I caught a few random Yellow Perch, Pumpkinseed Sunfish and dink Largemouth Bass but didn’t capture either on film. The day started out slow and picked up a bit towards early evening. I left when I ran out of bait. I just chose 10 clips for this video. The first 5 are Lake Chub and the second 5 are Northern Pikeminnow AKA Squawfish. Please Comment, Rate, and Subscribe!

Wow, nice vid!
@MrCod1997 definitely, they put up a good fight on ultra light tackle
I’ve never caught a lake chub. I have caught a lot of nice creek chubs on small crank baits , and soft plastics. They are fun fish to catch.
yeah haha! i heard but never seen
@LippinSmallmouth or we could just share knowledge on both spots haha
and yeah, i have never seen a single smallmouth come out of log boom.
@FishingThePNW they have lots of fish! haha i bet if you n me hit log boom park you would outfish me easily gimme time and i will learn log boom park looks like largemouth area more than a smallie place
@LippinSmallmouth cool, i have never caught a single fish at coulon. but then again i only tried once and it was very early spring last year.
haha nice one man
caught alot of those at coulon and uw area
@FishingNYC thanks mike! the front drag reel did well today
@jurassicsushi thanks bro! yeah the chubs and pikeminnow look really similar except the pikeminnow have a much bigger mouth that is also shapped differently. unfortunately, in wa state we’re not allowed to use any live bait in lakes other than nightcrawlers..
@Joey22496 thanks man! yeah they definitely do! super fun on ultra light gear
Very cool Elijah. I never saw a pikeminnow before.
