Wanna See My Rod?

Tomorrow we're taking our rods back to Willow Creek Reservoir near Augusta, Montana. 🎣

Special Guest Ed the Mailman is hopping aboard later in the morning, so we’ll double the rods and cut the adult supervision in half.

Our last three Willow Creek streams produced approximately 67 rainbows: 31 on September 13, 25 on September 27, and about 11 on October 4. This time we're back for more trout trouble—and hoping maybe today a fat, toothy bastard will decide our presentation looks like lunch. The jon boat is small. The rod jokes are questionable. Our confidence has once again exceeded the available evidence.

Small jon boat. Big rod energy. Questionable decisions with the ROD Squad.

Thursday, November 12. Who's riding along, and who's calling the first fish: rainbow or tiger?

Wanna See My Rod?

**Wanna see my… BOT? :D 🎣🤖**

WSMR crew - we’re opening up the **FREE RODbot beta!** We’ve secured the API quota to start expanding, and we’re looking for our first group of **up to 10 testers** to put it through real streams. ^^

If you’ve been hanging out in our live chats, you’ve already seen RODbot working. It’s our YouTube Live assistant, built to bring useful stream commands and fishing tools together in one dashboard.

**What DOES it do?**

🎣 Tracks catches and target species, updated by you or your mods through chat commands or the dashboard.

🌦️ Answers commands for weather, forecasts, stream location, fishing state records and regulation links.

🔗 Shares your configured socials, Discord invite, website and other channel links.

🤖 Offers optional subscriber and support-event thank-yous, where YouTube makes those events available.

📺 Provides browser-source overlays for catches, targets, location, socials and ticker messages.

**What DOESN’T it do?**

❌ It doesn’t watch your video and count fish automatically. Somebody still has to log that catch! :D
❌ It doesn’t replace your human moderators or every feature of every other bot.
❌ It doesn’t run your stream, boost views, generate subscribers or promise algorithm magic.
❌ It isn’t finished - we want honest feedback and bug reports, not just thumbs-up.
❌ It doesn’t catch fish. Sorry we're working on that feature but first we have to figure out how the heck to stop TROLLING TOO FAST!

**Want to help test it?**

1. Visit **rb.vox.io/** and request beta access using the Google email that manages your YouTube channel and your channel’s @handle.
2. Drop a comment below or email me at wannaseemyrod@gmail.com letting me know you signed up for the beta.
3. BETA testing requires manual approval by ROD, but once approved, sign in with that same Google account, choose **Connect Channel**, and authorize the channel you want to use.
4. Set your location and targets in **Dashboard**, add your links in **Socials**, then try `.ping` and `.h` in your live chat.
5. PROFIT! (not really)

**Join us on Discord:** discord.gg/U8V5Hs33Wj
Find **#rodbot** for questions and feedback. Please keep passwords, emails, and private account details out of public posts.

Let’s spend less time juggling bots and more time fishing. Tight lines, muchachos! 🎣 ^^

Wanna See My Rod?

Tomorrow (Tuesday Aug 4TH) we are heading back to Tiber Reservoir (Lake Elwell) for our first trip there this season, and apparently we have decided moderation is for other fishing channels.

We are planning a full sunup-to-sundown marathon targeting walleye, with northern pike, yellow perch, trout and whatever else wants screen time serving as potential accomplices.

Tiber has a reputation for producing enormous walleye. It also has a reputation for making anglers work for them, so this could become either a trophy hunt or a 15-hour documentary about misplaced confidence.

The forecast looks almost suspiciously good: chilly at launch, upper 70s later, sunshine and very light wind.

Set the reminder, bring your coffee, your fish-whistles, and submit your first-fish prediction in the comments! 🎣

🇺🇸 Friday = Dusk til Dawn fishing marathon and primitive camping at Pishkun Reservoir!
🇺🇸 Saturday = Independence Day fishing marathon at Pishkun Reservoir!


We’re taking the boat out on the water, streaming ALL DAY Friday, camping Friday night, then going full-send Saturday for the 4th of July MARATHON Fishing Live stream.

🎯 Main target: Northern Pike
🐟 Bonus targets: Kokanee, Rainbow Trout, Yellow Perch
📍 Pishkun Reservoir, Montana
🎥 Live Montana fishing marathon
🧨 Mission: Find the bite and catch the Pishkun Lunker!

We’ll be trolling, testing depths, switching lures, reading the graph, and trying to make Pishkun explain itself on a federal holiday, while trying not to get too beat up by the erratic Montana wind and weather.

Come hang out with ROD and THE SQUAD for another Special Holiday Fishing Marathon Special!

Armchair Experts, report for duty.

🎣 Montana fishing guides/outfitters — Wanna See My Rod? wants to fish with YOU!

We’re looking for licensed Montana guides, outfitters, and serious local lake sticks who want some free exposure on an upcoming **Wanna See My Rod?** livestream.

Our recent Montana fishing streams have been pulling **25k–75k+ views per broadcast**, and we’d LOVE to spotlight the people who actually know how to fish the bigger waterbodies we’re still trying to figure out. 😂

We’re especially interested in places like:

📍 Tiber / Lake Elwell
📍 Fresno
📍 Lake Francis
📍 Seeley Lake
📍 Flathead Lake
📍 Canyon Ferry
📍 Fort Peck
📍 And other Montana waters where local knowledge matters

To be clear: this is **NOT** us asking you to burn your secret spots. You control what gets shared. We’re looking to learn general patterns, seasonal approaches, presentations, structure, boat control, and how you break down the water — **not** expose your private waypoints. 🤝

What you get:

✅ Your guide service/business featured live on stream
✅ Links in the video description
✅ Pinned comment shoutout
✅ On-screen mentions during the stream
✅ Potential shorts/clips from the trip
✅ A chance to show Montana anglers what you’re all about

We can cover basic trip costs like gas, bait, launch fees, etc., depending on the setup.

If you guide, outfit, or seriously know one of these fisheries and want to show **Wanna See My Rod?** “the goods,” shoot us a message.

Let’s put Montana fishing — and your guide service — in front of the tens of thousands of people already watching. 🔥

You know you looked. Might as well fish with us.

Wanna See My Rod?

🚨 HUGE BOAT UPGRADE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The Wanna See My Rod? tin can is officially getting a SERIOUS glow-up!

🎯 54" Lowrance Recon electric trolling motor
🔋 VATRER 24V 200Ah self-heating lithium battery
📺 Lowrance HDS PRO 10" graph
📡 Lowrance HD 3-in-1 transducer

Rough transparency time: this is not a “grabbed some hooks and a bag of plastics” purchase. Between the Recon, the big 24V lithium, the second HDS PRO graph, upgraded HD transducer, wiring, mounts, adapters, and the sacred marine electronics tax of “why is this tiny cable $89,” this setup will land somewhere in the neighborhood of $7K by the time the smoke clears. (GOOD LORD!?)

We’ll finally have real GPS anchoring/position control, CONTOUR FOLLOWING, wireless pedal control, joystick control, quieter electric steer, better boat positioning, way more battery capacity, a second screen, improved sonar, better mapping, and upgraded imaging so we can watch fish ignore us in high definition from multiple angles!

Anyone who’s watched the streams knows our current setup gets bullied by the wind like it owes money to the reservoir! With the Recon pushing 90lb of thrust, and enough lithium power to make the boat feel like it found religion, we should be able to hold spots better, make cleaner trolling passes, fish structure more precisely, and hopefully have fewer moments where we're pretending the boat drifting sideways was “part of the strategy.”

This is a huge investment into the boat, the channel, the MARATHON live streams, and the chaos you all keep showing up for!

More tech! More control! More Central Montana fishing chaos!

... but still the same questionable channel name?

Do you think the ol’ honey hole will remember us... or will she act like we were just a one-stream stand? 😏

That's right squad... Thursday we’re heading back to Pishkun Reservoir for our first fish-able shot since the water came up — chasing Northern Pike, with Rainbow Trout, Kokanee Salmon, and Yellow Perch all technically invited to the party.

Last year, our final two Pishkun streams landed us 31 and 32 pike totals! Setting two consecutive personal lake records!

So naturally, we are returning with mature, realistic expectations…
--- MYTHICAL MONSTERS, ABSOLUTE GLORY, and definitely NOT a soul-crushing premium skunkFEST. XD Let's get 'er boooooyyys! ^^

🎣 Don't forget to set your reminder! Click notify on the link below, and come find out whether Pishkun still loves us:

- She love us not...
